Macks airsoft dreamers of the week thread

LOL

I'd give him some extra point for the marketing bullshit though. Half of these "upgrades" are absolutely unnecessary. 🤣

I can almost understand a novice selling it like that if they don't have the skills to build it but a 'professional'?

& if he's such a professional, why has he not sorted it.? 

Odds on the unlucky buyer might find more than the issues mentioned 😏

This should be called a "mystery box".

It’s not even got a Guarder frame and slide on it 😂

[Dan Robinson]

Either he's built several,  or he doesn't like the laughing emoji on his first listing. 

 

It's a decent pew, but I wouldn't pay £140 for it second hand.

 

 

Edited because  I can get it for about £70 - £80 new in Japan, but a quick Google and I see its is £140 new here.

I don't comment much on here anymore but as someone who's built and sold many Glocks at a massive loss, this did leave me chuckling at the gall of this ad. His breakdown of costs actually includes a £65 labour charge (that he's invoiced himself!?). Then he's asking for the total new price + "labour" + £20 postage.

 

Why didn't I think of this when I sold this one which had a Guarder aluminium slide, steel outer barrel, nylon fibre frame, metal piston head, 150% recoil spring, uprated hammer spring, Flamingo bucking and Guarder lightweight mag for £175 posted!? 🤔

 

Also don't get me wrong, the Gen.3 is still a solid platform but if he wants even half of what he's asking (plus billing this as a "sleeper build"), then he really should have based it on a Gen.4.

 

Possibly he's not bothered about selling it, which is good because the chances of it going for anymore than about a third of what he's asking, are slim.

To be fair, he’s just batting back at my questions 😂😂

So definitely medicated

Lol, what a crock, my stock metal slide ksc G19 lasted 20 years at 340ish fps (propane-.20), without ever missing a beat, total cost new £65, never spent another penny on it. 

[Cannonfodder]

It looks like his MO is to charge silly money

 

[Cr0-Magnon]

I'm just glad we have real Gunsmiths like him, to show those amateurs at Tokyo Marui, the right way to build a plastic pistol.

I suspect the point of listing how super-awesome-mega upgraded it is, was to list how super-awesome-mega upgraded it is.

For me it's the cigars and cognac picture with a blatantly photoshopped-in bit of paper with his name and a date on it. Totes legit.

Mine was the copy pasta first two paragraphs of this and previous showing at Mack's.

Tbh I didn't look at that I just went straight to the price, but you're right it's about as believable as a MP's election promise

A pristine classic car might hold or increase in value, not entirely convinced a bashed up trmr is worth more lol, maybe there's a reason they're discontinued ? 😏

They're discontinued because a company in the US (ALS) bought out the patent rights and turned it into a non-regulated version of a flashbang for law enforcement use. That version sells for about $300-400 if you can find one since the manufacturer will only sell to verified LE and military agencies. It has nothing whatsoever to do with it's performance or reliability, quite the opposite in fact.

That's as maybe but it isn't worth that much to an airsofter.

Fair enough, thanks for the info, but doesn't change the fact that the sellers looked bashed to fuck, that alone makes me question the price in the s/h market.

Dynatecs get battered, they're still the OG classic that everyone else has tried to copy, but I don't see anyone trying to sell a banged up one for £100+ lol.

Looks like US-11549793-B2 which references the ALS TRMR-LE (seemingly only sold in 12ga earburster form) and the elusive TRMR-LR (the cited link for that just redirects to the LE).  Citations going back over a century, including a 1916 GB patent.  Curiously there are two diagrams, one of which looks like the TRMR that we know, but the bulk of the claim is about one with a safety pin - presumably that's the LR.

True enough
