Macks airsoft dreamers of the week thread

That’s got to be a typo, £5.00, not £500. Right? … right?

[Amokura]

I'm going to presume the seller has excluded photos of perhaps 1 or 2 guns from the eBay listing..

Samoon show them as in stock, GHK list them on their site too.

 

I bought mine from France in October when i was over there.

[EvilMonkee]

Yeh Samoon have them but if you don't want to play dice with customs.......

Aside from being a slow process, i don't think it's really an issue as long as you're a legit buyer. (IE a player or have UKARA.)

 

I've got some stuff that was seized by customs in December, been released today. It took 3 weeks for them to send me a notice of seizure, and another 3 weeks to get it released. Other guns from the US, Taiwan and Hong Kong have come through without issue.

 

(I actually want a Sig 551 as well.)

£780???

 

They're £450 new and 4 spare magazines are £112.

I wonder if he was stiffed at the time buying it. That being said the fact that he openly says it doesn't support his play style sounds like a delayed case of buyer's remorse so maybe there's a wish to be compensated, including the VAT paid on it?

Maybe his own VAT, but they're 450 for the gun and 28 each for the mags including VAT from Zero One.

 

What he wants is well above retail for a used gun. If the gun alone was 300-ish i'd be tempted. But even at 350 i'd pay the extra hundred quid and have a brand new one.

I think you've misunderstood what I was getting at. I wasn't questioning that it's above current retail pricing, merely speculating that he'd paid more than he should have which is why the price is so divorced from reality. Either way, he's not done his homework to establish what his bundle is likely to fetch.

No, i got it. I meant it looks like he's putting 2 loads of VAT on a retail price that already includes VAT.

 

I actually want one of these, but not used for 1.4 times the price of a new one with warranty..

 

Also that Magpul foregrip looks shit on it.

Must have a shit load of upgrades, mine cost £100 + £65 for a complete gearbox (plus postage)

 

p.s. & no shitty paint job either.

Or buy it all brand new for £525..

I’m pretty sure that Epicgrimreaper traded his way up to that rif through multiple C7Viper style trades on that other forum page place that I’ve already forgotten the name of (cos it was shite and they haven’t put it back live since “upgrading” it)

 

But yeah, I moved mine on, boxed with 5 mags for £450 I think it was

It looked awesome, but seriously underwhelming “recoil”

They're not like GBBs but it's nice to get some recoil "feedback" instead of a normal AEG. I have 2 NGRSs and i like them.

[BigStew]

£180 for a Army Armements R27 that many or may not have an after market slide. So basically pay £100 over new for a slide stop and cerakoted paint job.

The AR variants are decent, just the scar versions I feel lacking 

Even the Ak has a decent clack and kick

not tried the Mp5

But you can tell us about that (hopefully) soon 👍

The frame and slide are after market. Not sure what kit has been used, but it looks good. Most "nickel" or silver airsoft pistols look crap, overly chromed and unrealistic...the above doesn't, so it's entirely possible the nickel plated parts costs £100+ by themselves.

I already have an NGRS MP5 (SD) and i like it. The recoil on it's not like a GBB but it's still pretty good. I just like having some feedback, unlike a regular AEG. If it wasn't decent i wouldn't've bought another. As you said, the AR is decent, my MP5 is pretty similar.

 

Shame the SCARs are lacking. I wanted an NGRS SCAR-L.

The guy selling is in Basildon, says so much.

The Mexican Staring Frog of Southern Sri Lanka has been discovered in the wild

Clearly it's a used two-tone Lancer Tactical M4 derivative yet the seller throws in a stock image from Patrol Base of a similar gun by Delta Armory.

 

Not suspicious at all. It's like the scammer dreams that we don't pick up on these details.
