Macks airsoft dreamers of the week thread

From what I understand, he's claimed that "metal & plastic wear out" which is how the tan rail ended up being painted black, the hop unit changing & bluetac appearing in it.

i hope it's current owner is able to get their money back.

 
Moral question.

If I see a for sale ad,  and I know 100% the seller hasn’t complied with the manufacturers instructions on storage (essential,with this particular gun), should I tell everyone, or is it caveat emptor?

has the seller been upfront about the storage in the advertisement? and if not, do they have any basis to justify not doing so (eg test firing to ensure function etc)?

perhaps initially messaging them and asking them to mention it in the ad might be a better route than calling them out? at least as a starting point.

No, I messaged them and asked them directly, they confirmed they had stored the gun incorrectly.

Ad hasn’t been edited to admit the mistake, so I’ve  asked them 

If they are going to.

cheers ??

I'm guessing it's the knocker spring getting knackered by leaving it stored with a mag in that's the issue. If so then definitely call them out as many buyers wouldn't know about this

Interesting, does this apply to all GBBP? ?

Nope, but safety says you shouldnt store anything gun-like with a magazine in it

Out of interest - how would you know that the owner hasn't followed the instructions?

What's to say that he didn't just put the mag in the gun for the Sales photos?

Genuine question - not picking holes.

They admitted it when asked

Hmm, that's a tough one, as disclosing it punishes them for being honest.

I bet they won't be the next time a potential purchaser asks.

If they were being honest they would've mentioned it in the advert from the start. Most airsofters probably don't know about the problems caused by leaving a mag in so would be none the wiser till their new toy arrived broken

Er, maybe they don't know the significance. I honestly wasn't aware of it.

I'm playing Glennie's Advocate a bit here, and I certainly don't think you were wrong to ask and flag it up.
