Macks airsoft dreamers of the week thread

Sort of on topic as we get flip outs and I'm awaiting oneneo to reply, Does the careful now reaction do negative things to someones profile?

 
It has no positive impact and that's why it exists (all of the others increase your reputation score).

It's a fair price considering the rarity and WA's pricing these days.  I sold a brand new one 10 years ago with an unfitted Prime kit for £330...

 
[STAGE WHISPERS] It sold pretty much immediately.


Actually... it was being sold as part of my mates collection, and I just figured I'd actually have it for myself.

It's properly nice.

Though I have had a few... odd... messages about it.

Not through here though

 
To bang on about this, there is a tutorial on how to turn two TM 1911's into a hardballer. Given the rarity of the item I am considering it, fair play to @Cromulon1994 for taking first pick. Do let ys know what it shoots like.

 
I'm of the inclination to say that this is worthy of a mention here.

The LCT AK-74M can readily be found for £299 brand new (possibly a bit less with some shopping around). The LCT magwell spacer is typically £19 (still say these should come standard but it's a futile argument with LCT) and genuine LCT mag's are readily available for approximately £11 a piece. CYMA magazines tend to be similar in the UK but can be found far cheaper elsewhere. Overall I estimate the gun to be worth around: £265.00 all in (calculated at about 65% retail using UK prices).

I'll have to give some concession to the launcher although I will say these used to sell for around £85 brand new in the UK. Despite the owner insisting they're discontinued, they're not but they are very hard to find. For the sake easiest comparison and easiest to find I'll compare it to the King Arms GP-30 which can be found for around £130.00. I'd be of the inclination to estimate the value of the GP-25 in this area given its rarity. Thoughts?

I'd say the 6SH117 Ratnik Vest isn't too far off the going rate for it from a retailer by the time you're done with all your import fees and postage. I suspect it can probably be found a bit cheaper with some perseverance.

To sell it all as a bundle I suspect it would probably need to come down to around £550.00 but I could be wrong and there's every chance I'm being a little harsh in my valuation for the AK-74M and the launcher.

 
The Dboys GP-25 while rare, they are fragile and are prone to breaking  in particular the sights coupled their propriety shell size, ( you can get tag rounds for it) makes them more of a novelty than any real use, £200 is very steep in my opinion I would say £95-£100, especially when you can buy the king arms GP-30 which uses the stand 40mm shell type.    

The LCT AK74-M is high considering it second hand, you can buy brand new ( in my opinion superior)E&L gen2 AK74-M from gunfire for £274.89 granted you have factor in the cost postage and a new spring to make comply with UK fps but it easy with QC gear box.  https://gunfire.com/en/products/el-74-mn-assault-rifle-replica-gen-2-1152202736.html

I agree the e&l is the superior gun out of the box, at least comparing new buys. I just wish i hadnt found out by buying a new lct :(

Also gunfire doesnt charge extra for spring downgrades (although it appears they preferr to chop the stock spring)

Edit: also the e&l comes with the magwell spacer out of the box......
