Popular Post RMDavis Posted January 31, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted January 31, 2019 Just after Christmas I picked up a VFC H&K 416 A5 It's a gun I have always wanted especially in the RAL8000 paint scheme! I ordered it online from Fubar Bundy, it was a little more expensive than other retailers but it was the only placed that had one in stock. However I had a nice surprise as not long after I placed the order Steve phoned me up to explain that I had over paid as the price had been increased on the website (to cover costs) so a customer could buy it on finance, which they never did. He apologised, and promptly returned me the difference! Excellent customer service! 👍 Anyway... I took it along to it's first game, and my first one of the year. I'll be honest I was really disappointed! Don't get me wrong this is a lovely gun to look at, and the build quality is superb/solid but the only thing that really matters is the shooting performance, which left a little to be desired. Maybe I've been spoilt with my mildly upgraded Krytac LVOA-S which even before it's upgrades shot much better out the box. So although I found a gun that looked awesome, it didn't shoot awesome so I decided to go all out! I dropped it off at Dave's Custom Airsoft for a few tweaks... * Gate TITAN Complete Set V.2 Advanced * Tokyo Marui Samarium Cobalt Super High Torque Motor * ProWin CNC HopUp chamber * Prometheus Air Seal Chamber (purple) * Prometheus Hop Up Tensioner (Flat Type) * SHS M100 Tune Up Spring * SHS High Speed Gear Set (13:1) * SHS 14 Full Steel Teeth Piston With Aluminium Piston Head * 6.03mm, Stainless Steel Tight-Bore barrel Got it back yesterday, and it's a bloody monster! Cannot wait to get it out for some 'pew pew' Sorry for the long post but I just wanted to give a little review along with the purchase. I will do an update after it's first skirmish! Here's a couple of photos, and one with my trusty LVOA-S which sadly will be going up for sale shortly as I don't need two very similar AR platforms. Thanks for reading chaps.

Asomodai Posted February 1, 2019 Share Posted February 1, 2019 Just picked up this bad boy for £54 in the Gunfire dropzone sale. This will be my first bolt action rifle. I was thinking of getting one of these when they were double the price. So pretty happy. Also purchased a Maple Leaf Autobot 70 degree hop rubber and 3 additional mags. Not sure what else I should get in the short term. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So will install the hop arm along with the Autobot bucking and maybe do a TDC mod. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like new you'd get retail IMHO, but everyone who wants them probably has them, stocks only dried up a year ago, so... Plus there are look-a-like on the market now that's a big thing too, meaning all you're selling is trades and brand-name, it's lost it's exclusivity.

UHC Tomb Raider nother springer.and the official springer: https://www.airsoftzone.com/en/USP-Match-Spring-Gun-Dual-Tone-Heckler-Koch-3558en998/ But most of the demand comes from cosplayers not airsofters so if it looks good in a photo... Plus it's only been a year or so since the last ones came out of Hong Kong, so it'll be a good while before there's multiple competing bids for them. Might never be if another contender comes along or they get resurrected by umerex, they really shot themselves in the foot making them black.

Yeah they really did some people say polish the slide but fuck that. I don't think it will look the same as it won't be the same type if silver.

Hellfish Posted February 3, 2019 Share Posted February 3, 2019 Looking to return to airsoft, but not wanting to spend loads so I've purchased a Second hand G&G L85 AFV - In need of some love and attention and currently in with a local tech for a service. To complete a CQB look for it, I've also bought a G&G L85a1 Cocking Lever, Helix Slim AFG, Cheap Surpressor, Dovetail to Weaver Adapter and a Low Profile Red Dot. The receiver will also need a good fettle at some point as it's currently got a tan spray job .... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Use it on my swords, I rub it in as quick as I can and use a very small amount as it goes along way.
