it's electrical tape, duct tape costs extra

[Cr0-Magnon]

Imagine having £1200 to spend and using some of that on a Raven 1911.

[BigStew]

£250 for a two tone SRC that has had obvious heavy use and not sure which version it is. https://prefired.co.uk/ads/src-m4/

Doesn't really matter what gen the gun is though, because it's an SRC. They are all pretty shit*.

 

I wouldn't pay £2.50 for it.

 

*I'm sure there are a few people that will spout on about how their SRC has been amazeballs. I have yet to see a decent one in the real world.

I feel like that's the sort of "IF" that's traded from one trackie wearing teenager to the other. Every time with the line "Bruv, cost me nearly £270. Will take £250 tho"

Their MP40 is probably the best available.

how about this:

 

hoping that the stock isn't actually being held together by electrical tape and cable ties: priceless

 

 

Expand  

No idea about the value of the package, but as far as the stock goes, there's nothing for the cable ties to hold together where they are, so would assume they're just to keep something extra attached. 
Underneath the tape is a port which is where the bolt fits to the handguard. I'm guessing he's taken it off so that the jack can feed through easier. 
And it's an original Hera Arms stock (I know, as I sold it to him), so on its own worth at least £50.
It's a lovely stock, wish I never sold it. Or the RIF it went on, but hey ho...

brings our running total up to 670, which by the usual 60% yeilds £400

 

it's interesting when you compare it to other sales in the hpa section:

If you're using the 60% for the stock, then the price I gave is the second hand price already, so doesn't need reducing further. New they're £150 ish.

When it comes to Star Rainbow Company the old saying 'In the land of the blind, the one-eyed man is king' springs to mind with your examples....😜

 

I shall counter with - the XM8.

fair point, although still quite the gap to make up.

I have two XM8s and they are perfectly fine rifles!

Would this be fitting for here? £600 for a KWA some mags and a bit of plastic

Actually, no. There is £250 worth of mags, making that rare and sought after gun an absolute bargain.

Find another

I remember seeing one of these going at my local site going for £200 a couple of years ago, wish i had picked it up now!

I sold one 10 years ago or so for £100 nobody wanted one. Dispite just being a KSC Glock 18C it wasn't reliable.

[Cromulon1994]

That's the sort of price they fetch now.

He will probably get it but Raresoft sold an as new boxed one with a bunch of boxed mags for a touch less.

 

As rdb says, find another.

The design is certainly an acquired taste....I've only ever seen YT videos of this and never one used in the airsoft world.... kinda looks as though one needs a proton pack to go with it... 😂 "Who ya gonna call.......'

[Enid_Puceflange]

I have to admit

I get really stressed seeing adverts with magazines which have been stored filled with bb’s for any amount of time 🤦🏻‍♂️

It's the answer to the riddle: When's a sidearm, not a sidearm? 

 

Definitely a case of limited production and gimmick appeal leading to impulse purchases. Seems like the kinda thing that get's bought on a whim, then sold, bought on a whim then sold, rinse and repeat. 

[Adolf Hamster]

 

not remotely questioning the price on this, what i wanna know is what the fuck is going on with that ak?
