He's done step files, so it can be machined.

 

That's not the same as selling a parts kit though is it? 

 

I really don't get what your point is here.

Honestly, you're a tad biased given its your business model. Maybe worth staying out of this one, hmm?

 

The point where I listen to a retailer on what is a fair price, is the day I stop playing airsoft.

The whole reason why the business model works....is being good at understanding the value of items on the used market. 

 

It's not as though I'm picking these up for £500 and trying to flip them for an extra £1000. Similar packages fetch similar amounts in places all over Europe and the USA. The buyers decide the market for these.

Okay, you ask someone to custom machine, or cheaper still, stamp these items out of steel. I'm sure it will be far cheaper than even paying for the ever increasing Groza prices.

Yeah just CNC a handguard that's a great idea. 90% material wastage lmfao. 

 

There's a reason machine shops will laugh you out the door if you bring CAD files intended for 3DP to a CNC house. Additive and subtractive manufacturing are completely different, and on top of that most machine shops will just not bother with a single run batch of possible firearms parts. Not worth the money or hassle.

What a deal 🤣 it's cheaper for a brand new one on defcon lol plus the great 2 tone sanding.

Impressive, new gun is £300, drum mag is £50, the poly mags are £9 each if you buy 5, rail is £9. I bought one of these used recently for £150 which I thought was a good price for a very good out of the box AEG. 
 

And it’s 4 years old and looks like crap, if you try and fail to take the two tone off at least respray it black over the top……

Can't say I like that stock either. Looks like a cross with a honey badger. Mp5 don't need buffer tubes. Is this based off a genuine mp5 or just a creation from cyma?

Even has the audacity to include a screenshot showing the gun is £329 new but you get 9 extra shells, a bandolier, £10 gun bag and no warranty for £19 less...

 

Bargain

Think it’s a Cyma thing, somewhere for the battery to go. On the L version (MP5K) you can put the battery in the top of the gun if you use a AK slim stick type. On the G version it usually goes under the hand guard but you need tools to remove it on this version, it’s also full of mlok holes so you would see the battery.

Yeah AEGs have the issue of always needing somewhere to stuff the battery.
