Mostly Retired Moderators L3wisD Posted January 15, 2018 Mostly Retired Moderators Posted January 15, 2018 Can't be a British soldier Cosplay/LARP enthusiast without an SA80. You could always get a Tokyo Marui Glock 17 Springer... Hell, I'd use one in a game! https://www.airsoftguns-europe.com/glock-17-frame-2-gen-hg-with-hop-up-tokyo-marui
steakandpotato Posted January 15, 2018 Author Posted January 15, 2018 This is true sir. I've shot him a message anyhow - the £200 price tag is staggeringly low!
Mostly Retired Moderators L3wisD Posted January 16, 2018 Mostly Retired Moderators Posted January 16, 2018 @steakandpotato - @snuffhas an L86 going for a bargain. Take on a support role
steakandpotato Posted January 16, 2018 Author Posted January 16, 2018 I could never do support - I already get moaned at for my lack of BB-firing

You could always go down the SR25 route and recreate the LM308MWS. The Ares SR25 Carbine will get you a good start and has the full length rail too.

I'm not actually sure about the limit tbh, always passed chrono (nobody runs anything particularly hot in our squad). By the way...

The person who I bought it off has tried to fit the RIS and apparently it's incredibly hard. I may or may not try at some point but as for now it's not high on my list of priorities

RR01 Posted January 17, 2018 Posted January 17, 2018 A couple of years ago I picked up my son-in-law's Osprey with plates included (he's a senior ATO). The weight was enough to make you want to take it off as soon as possible and is way more weight than you would want to lug around in a typical airsoft game. It may be necessary for our guys on operations to stop real bullets, but for airsoft it is a definite no-no. If you want the look of a filed plate carrier, either buy or make up some foam inserts. Much more useable.

Supporters Prisce Posted January 17, 2018 Supporters Posted January 17, 2018 Saw a couple of pics in here I liked so I thought I’d share one of my favourite buys. So I purchased this broken last summer, always fancied owning one. It is a G&G L85A2, with the blowback disabled to prolong gearbox life. It has a Real Steel DD rail, which doesn’t fit right, but nothing cableties can’t fix until I find a suitable way of holding it on. It also came with a Real Steel SUSAT, as you can imagine I was chuffed to get this bits alone. What was broken you ask? The guy before me had obviously taken it apart for one reason or another, and lost the hop nub! New one in, 50m range, semi reliable(stupid semi fault they all have). Still I just like looking at it..

Supporters Prisce Posted January 18, 2018 Supporters Posted January 18, 2018 Erm, well the gun standard would be worth around £200, the SUSAT I have been offered £250 for. The Rail I have been offered £200 for. If I was looking to sell, I’d probably advertise around the £400 mark all in. What I paid for it? Well that’s a secret, don’t want to be lynched!
