Cromulon1994 Posted November 7, 2019 Share Posted November 7, 2019 Make/brand: model Gun company Any accessories included: a sling First, the Calico. I'm actually selling this one. I've had it up for a while for £100 and had no takers. Is it just too niche or is it worth nowt? What's wrong with the pricing here. No box, it is a used gun and it has marks and scratches. Now I'm wondering whether I should remove the Ris rail (it's bonded onto the metal with gorilla glue, therefore I can remove all trace of it with acetone, and thus it would be standard. But in the meantime I would prefer to keep the red dot and actually use the gun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supporters Adolf Hamster Posted November 7, 2019 Supporters Share Posted November 7, 2019 not sure pricing is the problem, it's just a very niche thing which i suspect your average skirmisher isn't going to be too interested in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supporters Rogerborg Posted November 7, 2019 Supporters Share Posted November 7, 2019 Sadly, I agree. If you can find someone who's desperately seeking one, you could ask more. As it is, you're probably trying to tempt people who look at it and think "Ewwww". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Tackle Posted November 7, 2019 Moderators Share Posted November 7, 2019 Agree with the "niche" comments, especially when most players gun choices are loadout based or TV/film influenced. Personally I was even tempted to buy it myself, But realised I've got too much kit already & it prob wouldn't get used, plus I'm biased towards aegs rather than gas. Are there no auction sites etc more aimed at historical & rare kit & collectors, I reckon you'll easily achieve your asking price & more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Asomodai Posted November 7, 2019 Share Posted November 7, 2019 I would personally love the Calico. But as I believe it doesn't come with a hop unit makes it pretty much useless for use in a skirmish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tbh for indoor cqb it would be perfectly fine. Its coming with me Sunday to the mill and I'll put a for sale sign on it. I'm happy with £100. Or deal with a BFG. Glad to see it's not about to end up on Macks haha On 07/11/2019 at 10:55, Tackle said: Agree with the "niche" comments, especially when most players gun choices are loadout based or TV/film influenced.

Expand There's a guy on the classic airsoft Facebook group who has done so. He is on YouTube skirmishing it. In theory a kjw mk1 barrel with hop would also work with some alterations to the gun. It's really simple internally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cromulon1994 Posted November 7, 2019 Author Share Posted November 7, 2019 I know this isn't a sales thread but it IS now back to how it should be. I have removed the rail. Clear Gorilla glue is brilliant for adding rails to guns without marking them (as long as its metal on metal). Solid as anything then when you want to remove a little acetone and it's like it was never there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I meant no more rifles I meant it! I have zilch money and when I do have some I need to buy a tonne of upgrade parts. Of course if a Tavor comes up cheap enough then I cant say no, but that is the only really gaping hole in my bullpup collection. I do also need hi cappa pistol mags to skirmish my DOR with, though I might just buy two more hi cappas to get the ones included (TM Hi cappa extreme and maybe the Jag TTI.)
