Awisn Posted April 30, 2017 Share Posted April 30, 2017 I'd like to say hello to all of You first, as I'm very new to this forum and airsoft as well;) To the point. I'm forced to buy a two tone gun as I do not hold UKARA nor I have any other defence. I love the looks of M14, CYMA's in particular, as the money/quality ratio is very good. Can I ruin the original paint by removing the two tone with some chems? Also the short version of the rife is covered by a grip like structure, is it possible that i could actually ruin that too? I'm planning to either buy a fake wood version or olive. I'd love to know your opinion guys, thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Head Moderator Jedi_Master Posted April 30, 2017 Head Moderator Share Posted April 30, 2017 My response is to get your defence so you do not need two-tone in the first place. It is not difficult to play the requisite 3 games and obtain site membership, then buy a realistic weapon. As long as you can be patient for the couple of months (like many of us do) it takes to qualify for site membership, you are not forced to buy two-tone.

But children (those under 18) are not allowed to buy an imitation firearm. That is why I do not pander to paint removal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not a child, rather than spending 15 pounds for rental times 3 I'd buy myself 3 extra mags. Would anyone have any knowledge on the actual subject of this topic?

Hangtight Posted April 30, 2017 Share Posted April 30, 2017 You're not 'forced' to do anything, but a retailer cannot sell you a RIF without a valid defense. My local site offers a scheme whereby you purchase a RIF through them before you have a defense. However the only bits you can take home are the mags/batteries /charger etc. They hold on to the gun and bring it along to the skirmish site until you've attended 3 times and have your defense (site membership / UKARA). The other option is to purchase a two tone gun where the colour is applied to parts that are easily and inexpensively replaced EG an M4 where the stock and fore end are painted. A shop will generally paint with Krylon which is fairly easily removed with acetone, but this will attack plastics (attack as in melt... A lot). Krylon can be removed with, allegedly Dettol or Fairy Power Spray but I've not tried it personally. Whatever you try and remove it with it'll be an arse to get out of all the nooks and crannies.

Would anyone have any knowledge on the actual subject of this topic? If you're an airsoft skirmisher, then that's your defence UKARA with 3 games is the main method of establishing that to defend the retailers under the VCRA It's covered on some other threads about repainting or removing paint (based on having the defence). Without the Defence then repainting or removing the paint would be an offence under the act No-one can say for sure if you would do any damage removing paint. It will depend on the paint, what you need to do to remove the paint, and if any chemicals you use affect the plastic parts as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Awisn Posted May 2, 2017 Author Share Posted May 2, 2017 Thanks guys for your help and time. I won't risk buying a two tone M14, I'll buy a two tone side arm instead and get the primary once my UKARA number is issued. Thanks again for sorting out my doubts!!!

Just buy a two-tone combat machine, they hold their value well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
