'Vintage player is back in the game'

1973 Vintage 

Yep, that is me after around 25 yrs away ?

Wanted to introduce myself and say hi as it is the way ?

Airsoft was left behind a long time ago (mid-90s at a guess) as life just kinda took over and other stuff took over as 'hobbies' such as sportsbikes, cars, airguns, clubs, mortgages and girls took over.

Missed it though and being a regular down at Crawley Surplus Store for the airgun side pas couple years, couldn't help but notice all the awesome RIFs and just how much they have come along.

Enter The Sportsman's Association, as unlike years ago, a defence is now a thing.

Subsequestly a Marui HK416 Delta Custom NGRS was soon in the bag ?

Bug is back in a big way.

Only so much fun plinking away at home and causing mayhem with the missus with the little while spherical objects being found "everywhere" ? -  so needed to find a local site to me to play properly. The nearest one is Epsom's Incursion CQB (20 mins drive) where I got my UKARA defence  sorted a year back. Double defence it is then and have renewed the SA this year as it can only be a good thing.

Loving it and over the past year have increased my collection (and serial fiddled with extensively) a Marui Mk18 Mod.1 GBB (all that is left standard are the receivers, outer barrel and buffer tube.) - my favourite.

Have also added a Marui MP7A1 GBB which has also been fiddled with, a Marui MP5A5 NGRS and more recently a GBLS DAS GDR-15 CQB (2022 updated version) as it is a bit different - just a Type A buffer added to that, Magpul furniture and a Huey on the top.

Pistols I've acquired a few already too, Marui Glock19 G4, Marui HK45, Marui M1911A1, an EMG TTI Pit Viper. And my favourite, a Marui Gold Match. That has had huge fiddlement .. just the frame and grip are original, everything else is LA Capa Customs / Airsoft Masterpiece. Love it.

Have quite a lot of spare parts kicking around!

So that is where I'm at, all the above is in my insta (https://www.instagram.com/mrde11ski/) , well and truly back in it and having ball.

Cheers, Dell

1973?  I'm lost (doesnt take much). you stopped airsoft 51 years ago? 

Or you're 51 now and only just getting back to it? 

Either way, it doesnt matter, youre only as old as the woman you feel. Or something.  :D

Welcome back to the house of plastic lobbing sillyness. :)

Back in the game after a rather too long hiatus ? 

Well, it’s been a year or two already, but same thing pretty much ?
