Who are the current Airsoft Wizards, nationwide?

[Alex34]

Who are the nation's top Airsoft techs... especially the ones that have courier service?

 

I've used Sam Liggat at Kingdom of Airsoft years ago and was extremely happy with his work. The only downside was the turnaround time. This was about 8 years ago though and around Xmas time, so things could be very different now.

 

I see loads on here tip Luke Dobson at Negative Airsoft, and I knew Luke from back in the days at The Mall. Never had the pleasure of having him work on any guns for me though. That will probably change very soon... if his turnaround isn't ridiculous. I've read there is normally a long waiting list.

 

So who else is out there these days that has the golden touch, and who's QC is top notch? And if you are tipping KOA or Negative, chime in as well!

I wouldn't use anyone except those two, which is why they have such long waiting lists, which is why I wouldn't use them.  It's a self-causing / self-solving problem.

 

If it's for a specific gun it might be best to mention it, as any Sklyar can mess up an M4, but some techs specialise in messing up GBBR or HPA builds.

I heard that there's a guy who may, or may not, operate from an airsoft shop in south Wales! Not sure of the quality of his work though! 🤣🤣

He doesn't do courier service, but if you're in the south east you can look up Adzzzy's Armoury (Facebook, Youtube). He's based in West Sussex and has worked on all of my AEGs that have had issues, since I don't like AEG gearboxes. Never had a bad experience with his work, but you have to be able to drop it off to him as I don't think he likes dealing with postal stuff.

Nothing specific at the moment. Still haven't decided what next to buy or even if it will be AEG or GBBR. My current rifle has already been given the golden touch by KOA.

 

I guess the turnaround shouldn't be such a big deal this time, as I'll have my current rifle to use while I wait.

I’m not disputing their craftsmanship but isn’t KoA famous for selling recoil owners down the river for thousands of pounds worth of “prommy internals” “fully upgrading it”?

Not disputing the fact that have done and continue to offer high-end upgrade packages but the first question I always ask is 'what's your budget' followed by 'what are you looking to achieve'. 

From there, I can tailor each build to the customer's specific requirements. 

Side note, I have never built anything with solely Prommy internals
I always select each component based on its own merit with respect to the budget and performance targets. 
I continually optimise the parts I use and offer based on their performance, price point and availability. 

 

@Alex34 Turnaround is currently around 10 days if I have all the parts required in stock
That's been my biggest focus over the last decade closely followed by improving communication.
