Who wants to tell him that the American clone sa58 has probably never been seen in africa either....

But he has extended the barrel, so it's now a proper FAL, isn't it? ?

[Cannonfodder]

I'm sure I've seen working ones at that price here

Is he listing what he paid or what he wants? If it's the latter, he's in for disappointment.

Some creative pricing right there, also conveniently failing to mention which companies have oem'ed the clones, but even if we assume most expensive, I do not understand how that tracks to reality.

Unless they're not clones, if they're clones and he hasn't disclosed that (which he hasn't) then that's a different issue, but the listing implies that they're genuine

Norsso is a firearms manufacturer, they do not make airsoft pieces. So slide etc are clones.

Sig uses black machine screws exclusively on their optics, and the button surround is made with a different material to the rest of the body on Romeo-X Compact, whereas its not on this.

Zenitco uses a knurled alumnium attachment screw, the design shown there is exclusively SOTAC clones.

 

etc etc

Should probably report that to the mods then rather than here tbh, the slide is common sense because airsoft but the rest is false advertising

[Rogerborg]

Aside, are there any aftermarket realism mods for airsoft P320s that make them go off for, like, no reason?

I don't think you even need that if you've seen the typical muzzle and trigger discipline of the average airsofter during the safety briefing.

Yeah, but he'll throw in the 30 quid silencer! (For extra, obviously.)

Even at used value the PTS version of the Dead Air thing is around £70-80, so not surprised he's making that extra based on the other inflation.

Wants £50 just for postage

Tracer version, I had to cough up nearly £150 for, only for said tracer to die 6 months later.

Assuming they're sending it via parcelforce 48 hour service there's no way it costs that much, even with the extra insurance

[EvilMonkee]

Just sent a RIF via PF48 £13 and change

It can if they're in Northern Ireland. Why when i'm including P&P on sales, I specify "Mainland UK, not NI".

Other couriers might charge more but parcelforce and royal mail charge the same from Uk to Northern ireland as uk to uk.

The point i was making is parcelforce and royal mail don`t charge more for mainland uk to northern ireland than mainland uk to mainland uk.
