No wonder the distance it covers is unreal.  I do wonder which sites the seller is playing at if that is not a typo.

Fear Masters airsoft in Yorkshire according to his profile

 

I do hope it's a typo as that's 4.52j or 697fps with a .2

a section 5 firearm

Wouldn't it be section 1?

Neither. The limit before a FAC is needed is 16.25j so it's an air rifle.

Hasn't this abomination been featured before?

Yes, sorry. You're right!

Narp, ~4.5J / 3.3 foot-pounds, so just a regular air gun.  You'd get the jail in Jockshire, mind.

 

However, I'd assume that it's actually 450 with 0.2g, i.e. 1.88J plus whatever it creeps to with 0.48g.

 

Still an eye-roller though.

I'm more entertained by the belief that someone will pay £400 for a 2tone.

"Short stocked" and doing 370-435FPS with full auto.

At least he has been kind enough to include his full address so the police won't have any trouble finding him.

Great starter gun for beginner....no mags and no batteries.....🤔. Not a pay and play gun by any means then 😂

"Cut off iron sight to mount optics better without a riser needed"

You did what? Am I reading this wrong or did this person saw off the front sight just because they didn't like the it... y'know rather than just removing it like a normal person. The first time I did mods to an M4, even I recognised this shit was pinned in place and removed it no problem.

I would have give it a pass on "short stocked" assuming they've had it short stroked but the FPS figures they're quoting are, well, fantasy.

Not to mention: No mags, no battery all for £140...

But you’ve all missed the main selling feature, it’s semi… and full auto!

Not on a Combat Machine; it is an integral part of the front section of the outer barrel.

If you know what you're doing, you won't buy it.

He seems to have created a new advert for it and deleted the original one: https://www.usedairsoft.co.uk/rif-s/electric-powered/m4-combat-machine-semi-and-full-auto_i61221

 

The price has dropped and the output is now 320 to 390+ fps, whatever that means.  It's almost like he is making it up as he goes along.

I'd say a variation of up to 70fps means its fucked.

DCA apfg mcx spear lt = £625 (out of stock but UK retailer so VAT included where as oversee import may or may not catch the eye of the tax man)

High pressure Airsoft vfc M4 gen 3 gbb mags = £174 (3*58) 

 

Total = £799

 

Typical 70% of new rule = £599.3

 

 

At 725 you're basically get 1 mag for free from retail price, might only have had 300-400 rounds through but 2nd hand is 2nd hand, right? No retailer warranty etc etc.

Just amended price down slightly.

 

I don't always subscribe to the 70% rule, some items are more desirable/harder to obtain in the UK than others, plus. Surely condition has to play apart in it? So I've tried to price accordingly.

 

I've amended the price down slightly, so it's about a saving of about £60-70 on new when you factor in postage.

 

I'm not desperate to sell and as the seller, selling less than this I'd rather just keep it in all honesty.

 

Edit- just *sold*

[Encore]

You're right, 70% isn't a hard and fast rule but I've always personally thought that unless an item is rare and desirable etc then 70% is a safe bet.

 

Ultimately it's what someone's willing to pay. Personally, I saw it as an item that is readily available (not limited run or discontinued) but batches sell out quickly due to popularity.

Wow. The Buyer's Regret package is usually a blue Bulldog and a Raven. To go straight to a pimped out Systema before playing is living your life as though every day is your last (spoiler: in the vast majority of cases, it is not).

 

I mean, the best you can say is that it looks like he's managed to get his sweaty hands on RIFs.
