Great site - never bought any RIFs from them, but for bulk orders of BBs and for accessories etc they've been awesome.

If I can I get all my new Gatts from them , they down grade for free (something a few UK retailers charge for !) and if you pick up one of there ‘own brand’ ones nine times out of ten a lot of the internals have been factory up-graded to there specs AND it’ll still come out cheaper than the factory standard model over here ! ?‍

I am intrigued by their "P&J" branded guns.  Upgraded CYMAs, metal receivers, M120 springs (I'm after a DMR), Sadly still bushings rather than bearings, but:

· directional piston head
· piston head on bearing
· reinforce cylinder head

Hop-Up chamber made of metal

We need @Sitting Duck to do an autopsy on one and see how much they've actually changed...

Why do you want bearings over bushings? It’s just another potential failure point. And with such tiny ballbearings they don’t really spin all that efficiently

Gearbox is almost identical to the cheapo plastic Cyma cm517's etc....

It is from a different casting, there is no trigger tang limiter in top half of gearbox

The cylinder window is not re-enforced - so a BARE piston fits through it

(no ultra extra material above/below cylinder that stops piston fitting through)

It is radius'd up front already and painted black than un-painted like cheapo box

Still 8mm cross bushings - but ok tbh

Still re-enforced at back - so mod req for fitting 13:1 gears

Still v3 spring guide but they include a bearing spring guide

Still crap Lonex type clear tappet plate & crap nozzle

Still crap cylinder head that falls out on its own

Still not so great cyma gears with #1 bevel

Still need to remove safety arm screw prior to opening box

Still cyma switch with rear prongs

Basically nigh on the same gearbox, just a very slightly different casting

A while back older Cyma MP5's had 7mm cross bushings instead of 8mm

This box was not re-enforced at rear so 13:1 gears went straight in

normal tappet plate I think too

Anyway you can see this all over again here:







OR pics of a metal Cyma 072 extensively torn apart by a guy on Arnie's about 6 months ago....

fill ya boots on what's inside, they had the 069 for about £105, which was a blinding deal but now no more

(was a bit too long for my liking for a reg AEG or I'd probably bought one (or two) at that price

So not bought stuff for a while and tbh - with a tear down like that you get to see what is inside

basically the same internals near enough on gearbox but with bolt catch, metal receiver & hop etc...

still same lame 28tpa motor though but hey ho - the ones on offer an absolute bargain if they float ya boat

 

[Rogerborg]

Thanks, interesting stuff.  That nozzle makes me sad; I'd prefer not to take the gearbox apart, but knowing it's not got an o-ring would bother me.

We did an order with Taiwangun - Was dispatched next day and arrived in 4 days.

However, the second order is still in 'Processed' since the 6th and is still not dispatched, the difference is this time there is a RIF which we have asked to be downgraded.

Should I start getting worried? or is this normal?

 

[MajinZero]

It seems I never received an order confirmation, checked deleted and junk, nothing....I've just been refreshing the page with this everyday every 5 mins

I assumed it would take longer to dispatch with having to downgrade etc but now you've said 4 days, then that's fine, was just getting worried there was a problem (like its actually out of stock)

Thanks!

 

[Rogerborg]

... bearing in mind that doing a free downgrade isn't going to be their top priority if they're rammed with orders at the moment.

I don't think hellish much of their packaging that's for sure.

Other than that, flawless service.

to be clear, this was not transit damage. The grey courier bag this box came in was unmarked. The box they packed the stuff into was far too small for the contents so it appears they just taped it to within an inch of its life, breaking the box in the process, and just hoped for the best.

 

[Rogerborg]

Mmm, in car dealer parlance, they all do that, sir, it's characteristic.

Those are shipping boxes, it's not like they come to them from Taiwan in anything sturdier.  But yes, they are somewhat creative when packaging orders together.

Anyway, what's in there?  Anything droolworthy?

Nah, not really drool worthy.

Just some FMA goggles ?

And im trying out the 8fields taco pouches. From first look... They appear rather solid. Still need to test the retention but other than that, providing they don't fall apart after a few games, they seem good. Not bad at all for a £4/5 pouch.

Do they send out confirmation and/or dispatch emails?

Do they send out confirmation and/or dispatch emails? 

Normally receive an invoice at POS, then an email stating it is processing, then another saying complete. At which point you can follow the tracking details from your order page on their site.

Looking to order two bar 10 snipers from here...

whats the current thoughts on them as a lot of out dated posts on this topic.

if I purchase online, providing ukara number will it come all way to my house or will i have further charges when it reaches the uk?

 

[snuff]

Never had any extra charges although they have dropped free delivery.Just to add they are very professional and they put a lot of UK traders in the shade,they allowing tracking to your door,something UK retailers struggle with or even care about.Spring swapping up or down,correcting fps and adding extras have always been free labour wise.Pity there are few UK traders who care as much about their "customers"...£££££££££?

 

[Callyourhits]

Just ordered from them this morning (Monday) . I'll update with pics when my order arrives. 

Tuesday morning update. Order has been `processed` email said its been launched whatever that means. 

Friday morning. Package has arrived at my nearest ups hub. Only 5 miles from my house. Just waiting for them to put it on a truck ?

For anyone interested in the route they use it seems to be as follows:

Depart from Krakow, Poland

Then via Dobra Strykow, Poland. 

It's then processed again at Herne-Boernig, Germany before making it's way to the UK. 

 

[E21A]

Just to add, both of my orders arrive propmt and correctly. Will be using them again in the future

No extra charges as we’re still in the EU as is Poland but after Brexit , Who knows ?

Not gonna lie, kinda annoyed at these guys this morning. I placed an order on Wednesday, immediately realised I had forgotton an item and emailed asking them to add it to my order or alternatively cancel the order and I will re-order all items plus the item I forgot. No response until this morning where they tell me "It's too late to change now" in THE worst English ever. Excuse for late reply "we have a lot of emails," pathetic really.

So instructed Paypal to cancel the entire order, I won't be reordering it with them. The simple action of cancelling an order for it to be replaced or simply adding one other item and charging me is too hard? It isn't hard to make ammendments or accommodate your customers needs, except if you're Polish apparently.

 

[jcheeseright]

Try emailing them in polish instead, might get a more sensible response.
