Sounds vaguely sinister ?

I've been on a bit of a mission since around February, and started buying a bunch of stuff for another MWS build. Still got a few bits to arrive, but it's looking promising. Sod's Law I'll get it done and it'll be too cold to run a GBBR properly!

well, i should be happy right now...

finally got my VFC M249 from SWIT airsoft delivered by UPS, but found the customs monkeys have got to it...

boxes had been unwrapped, but then thrown back together with just a cross of border force tape holding the wrappings together and most of the inner boxes exposed due to the bubble wrap being hastily thrown around them

first parcel contained the M249 and spare mags,  every box and bag roughly opened, cardboard packing "frames" clearly disturbed.  opened the bag to withdraw the gun, and found the front sight has been broken off.  two of the tabs of the dovetail broken off and all the bits thrown in the bag.

second parcel contained the external gas tank, again opened.  this time the monkeys have used a screwdriver or something similar to pry off the end plate of the box to get to the inside (rather than opening it up using the two plastic tabs that hook onto the pegs on the rest of the box)  the end result was that the plastic cover plate has been split in two different places.

my brand new gun and its been broken by some incompetent, useless, clumsy customs monkey, i am FUCKING LIVID!!!!

currently trawling the gov website to try and find out who i need to complain to, then figure it out from there

also going to be firing emails to VFC and SWIT to find out if i can get replacement parts.

try here: https://www.gov.uk/government/organisations/border-force/about/complaints-procedure

Looks like you send them an email with supporting info and they'll respond within 20 days. If you're lucky they'll reimburse you the costs of repair. Of course if you're feeling like chancing it, you could always claim you missed a game day because of it and throw in the cost of one of those too.

thank you.

im currently drafting an email now.

probably wont send it tonight, as i am so angry and want to review the email in a calmer frame of mind, as i dont have the luxury of a second pair of eyes to review the email tonight

 
I already have an A&K Masada yes, but why not two? Edited out the sellers name. The seller slid into my Discord DMs asking if i'd be interested in taking it off their hands, all accessories and postage included for £150. Having just been paid with some overtime it was impossible to resist an early birthday present to myself.

Gun works fine, apparently the selector is grinding which isn't a surprise having taken these apart before - the ambi selector kinda sucks and is a bit of a bastard when reassembling the gun. I'm now theory-crafting a shopping list to turn this into an actual DMR as it's currently at full-auto AEG limits (i've posted my shopping list in the electric guns section if anyone's interested).

Might be nice to try out a different style of gameplay as well as the technical challenge of making a consistent DMR having not done this before. Local site limits for DMRs are 420fps so it gives me a nice bit of overhead for throwing heavier BBs.

I got my plexiglass sweetheart grips today after searching in the UK for forever, over the moon is an understatement!
 

They was made by crafty_sod on Instagram, he does a lot of made to order resin stuff like gun charms etc and now is experimenting with grips too.

Picked up a Rossi L119A2 from high pressure airsoft. So far it's a good little gun. Decent weight, good looking externals and it's pretty snappy.

Sadly I've decided to jump on the A2 bandwagon as they're going to be swapping them out for KAC KS1's lmao

Just ordered one myself! Would love to see how you’ve set it up while I wait for mine if you have any pictures?

Direct action gear in Poland just took more of my money ?

They finally had the assault panel, radio wings & 3 mag pouch in stock at the same time so I had to buy them.

Platecarrier is finally getting the WAS pouches replaced with the kosher option ?
