A grand??? For a mostly stock 416?

It has a Titan advanced and 7 EPM mags and a M95. What baffles me is running a Titan with stock Marui gears. Although nothing wrong with that combo if you’re installing a Titan you may as well shove in steel gears and bushes too. And by changing the spring you have the piston out so why not change it for a more durable one. Anyway this isn’t a topic about upgrades. But £975? Jeez! 
 

And for all the youngsters this song is epic.

I was under the impression stock TM gears are fairly robust even with an M95 and once you go messing with upgraded gears, that's when you really start to mess with the TM pixie dust.

TM NGRS gear specifically are made of cheese, you’ll end up with a round last sector tooth before long with an M95

That’s a t-shirt or a patch for sure....

I know silencers are supposed to muffle the sound but I had no idea this advert for one would silence me. Bloomin heck’s lads look at this one. It’s got to be full of premium Marui Pixie, Fairy, Star, Diamond dust. Have I missed out any other Marui dust? Hmmmm ?

I saw that, assumed he was on fcuking glue ?

It is TM, after all, so probably worth it.  I could of course be slightly bias because I nearly spent £550 for that same silencer with attached gun .

Ahhhhh Jedi logic

 

Actually the Marui Devgru is a bloody good looking gun and that can’t be denied. Amen.

He’s got one of those platinum lined Devgru suppressors on it that is apparently worth £80 to another seller

I don’t see what’s wrong here ?

given he had an evaluation thread:

 

 

so, lets evaluate this package in detail:

we take our £170 gun: https://www.surplusstore.co.uk/nuprol-delta-ak21-black-6mm-airsoft-rif-aeg.html

 

mess around with the internals (looks to have had a barrel change at least), but unspecified what's going on, given the specifics aren't mentioned i'd worry about the quality of any work that's been done.

 

add a paint job which might appeal to some buyers, but will alienate everyone who doesn't happen to exactly like that style.

 

add a cleaning rod- literally worthless, guns come with them as-standard and most folks are gonna have a couple lying around.

 

original box- again not much value save for a collectors peice, which a nuprol is not.

 

4 hicap mags- given most folk will already have mags these aren't worth much to a lot of buyers (especially the mid-cap master race) however in the interests of fairness we'll add that on, given the brand is unspecified i'll be lazy and pick the first result on google for a nuprol hicap at £10 per mag: https://www.defconairsoft.co.uk/product/nuprol-m4-metal-hi-cap-370rnd/

 

battery and charger- pretty much worthless to anyone who is already setup, but given how this is going so far we'll add that on at £21 for the battery and £10 for the charger (super lazy googling):

https://www.surplusstore.co.uk/nuprol-9-6-1600-mah-nunchuck-crane-stock-type.html

https://www.patrolbase.co.uk/asg-intelligent-auto-stop-nicd-nimh-battery-charger

 

gun bag- no info to go on here, so we'll do a quick lazy search and find a gun bag for £20: https://www.patrolbase.co.uk/nuprol-pmc-essentials-soft-rifle-bag?pv=8366

 

overall i'm getting an equivalent package for £261 brand new, with warranty, without any effort put into shopping around save for ensuring that the item is in stock from a uk seller........

 

i was gonna do a comparison with other sales in that price bracket, but this post is long enough already.....

And because who ever has changed the inner hasn’t shortened it so you can’t actually run it with out the bloody suppressor on it ! As to the ‘custom paint job’ was it done by a professional painter(can’t see Geartech mentioned any where) ? Where the paints individually Mixed just for him ? Think it’s safe to say as if ! so no it’s not a ‘custom paint job’ All he’s done is just lay a scrim net on it and given it a couple of squirts with a rattle can ! ?‍♂️

[Druid799]

Not to the normal scale of dumbshitery but still worth a chortle , an ammo tin for £30 that you can get on fleabay from £15 ?!?!?! ?

 

[Neptune]

I used to pick those up for £5 a piece at the local militaria store, how times change.

 

Also, why would you want a case marked .22 LR when you can get 50 cal.

For me its this^^ WhyTF would anyone store loose bb's in here? i am all for novel uses but this was a forehead slap when i saw this

I needed 3 of these a few months ago - surprised how much the cost of these have gone up in recent years

Imagine if it accidentally fell off the table or something...?

Tens of thousands of BB's gone in an instant ?

That's exactly my thoughts as well. Jeez wouldn't that cause some comments in the safe zone. I grizzle when I lose four every mag change.☹

I'm a tight arse though. Lol

i'm the same when running the .48's, especially when it's the dragonuv and the few shots needed to chrono represent half a magazine

I had something similar last summer.

Was building some planters for the wife, using a these screws

https://www.screwfix.com/p/quicksilver-pz-double-countersunk-woodscrews-trade-case-grab-pack-1000-pcs/32001

 

Notice how the transparent cover does cross over the handle area?

 

970 odd screws of various sizes in a heap on the patio, just as the sun was setting.

Well that would be a daft thing if ever there was one ?.

0.48’s? Damn that’s expensive plastic! I run 0.4s in the 417 and I cry each time I miss.

Done that but with a case of 1000 hss drill bits from 12mm down to 2mm! Doh!! The case insert was jettisoned and drills just thrown in. Probably recovered 600 pieces. Oh how I laughed......
