Macks airsoft dreamers of the week thread

Is the outer barrel steel? That’s where most of the weight is

 
Not necessarily, some steels have chromium and nickel added which can make then non magnetic.

I’ll try tonight after work though.

You can go to Vegas and fire the real thing for about 30 dollars per round. I did it last summer during a road trip on the west coast. I don’t get why that’s not very believable.

You can fire them here too. It's more the 'basically the real thing' remark people are laughing at.

Think this one has been mentioned before but isn't a RS suppressor section 5?

Its made of steel but isn't for use on RS firearms. Poor wording on OP's behalf.

Ah Thanks for clearing that up, I did think it a little bizarre and couldn't find the original post to see if it had been clarified.

“New” for £180 or actually new for £130ish

'Actually new' is closer to £160 without delivery but the seller has a point about them being out of stock. It appears I had good timing when I got mine. I've not seen them in stock anywhere in ages.

It's also not a 1911. Personal bugbear.

But imho... £180 delivered plus an extra mag and a holster? If I was in the market for another one and I didn't want to wait for a retailer restock... I would probably consider it.

How is it closer to £160?? 

Unless it’s been discontinued then the fact it’s out of stock means nothing. Also, it’s not new, it’s second hand, regardless of what the seller says.

It's closer to £160 because it's closer to £160.

Just a few examples...

View attachment 44265View attachment 44264View attachment 44263

and those are without delivery.

I didn't say it was new at any point but they haven't been in stock anywhere that I've seen in 6 months+ so yeah, like I said... If I was in the market for another one, with an extra mag and a holster... I would consider it for £180 delivered.

 
Never paid import tax on anything from rainbow 8. 

The fact still remains that its not new, and priced more than new.

I have paid import taxes from HK, rainbow 8 included as have many others here... Only on things above a certain value.

I paid a ludicrous amount of import fees for my Prowin mags but it still worked out cheaper than buying them from the UK.

It's not priced more than new... You seem to still be overlooking the fact that it comes with an extra mag and a holster.

A mag, new is in the £20-30 range and the holster is too... In used terms that still about £30 more for both.

And while it's technically not new, the fact still remains, if I didn't want to wait for a UK/EU restock and I wanted one... I would consider it and so would many others. Things are only worth what people are willing to pay for them. Which is why selling on eBay is so successful.

Edit: it should also be noted, I am not intentionally defending the seller, but I do feel that in this particular instance, point the finger and making fun is a little unfair.

I think the price isn't crazy but I wouldn't pay it for used equipment. I'd rather pay the difference and get a new one and this instance as it's not much extra and I could get the extended mags if I wanted. Problem with bundles is unless someone wants that mag and that holster with THAT gun it's not a good deal he needs to part it out or lower the price a bit to make it attractive to people looking for 2 out of 3 i.e the holster and gun or mag and gun.

Take into account that TM are not making another batch available until at least May, so whilst the price is also too high form me, if somebody wants a GM now, they’re gonna have to pay
