CARBr6 Posted November 30, 2017 Share Posted November 30, 2017 Theatrical membership. I started off buying RIFs in the form of PFC and Modelguns for stage work, this just fed my love of guns, which then led me to Airsoft. Many places within the UK accept my membership as a valid VCRA defence (which it is), but some just have a box for a UKARA number and that's it. I often have to email separately in order to get stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supporters TheFull9 Posted November 30, 2017 Supporters Share Posted November 30, 2017 In my experience, customs only just barely understand UKARA as a defence, anything else (though legally correct) you'll be e-mailing them back and forth/calling up a couple of times to get the import sorted.

Mostly Retired Moderators L3wisD Posted December 1, 2017 Mostly Retired Moderators Share Posted December 1, 2017 You can all take a deep breath now.. the purchase of the year arrived yesterday My Keymod sling mount But it's too fat for my sling! Booo-urns! It's only an angels pube too fat, I reckon a minute with a metal file on the sling will shave just a fraction of a mm off to get it in there. Bloody love this sling, don't want to replace it. CARBr6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Albiscuit Posted December 1, 2017 Share Posted December 1, 2017 @L3wisD Had a similar issue with an old sling of mine. Managed to wiggle and twist it enough to click on, not realising it would then never come off Hacksaw done the trick, but then the sling was knackered Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Comicbook hero Posted December 2, 2017 Share Posted December 2, 2017 Went a bit mad during a Black Friday sale and got some stuff I have been looking at for a while. 5.11 Tactical Flash Bang Pouch - Tac OD 5.11 Tactical Bungee Radio Pouch - Sandstone 5.11 Tactical Flash Bang Pouch - Sandstone 5.11 Tactical TacTec Plate Carrier Vest - Sandstone 5.11 Tactical Double Pistol Bungee-Cover Pouch - Sandstone 5.11 Tactical Single AR Mag Bungee-Cover Mag Pouch - Sandstone 5.11 Tactical Double AR Mag Bungee-Cover Mag Pouch - Sandstone 5.11 Tactical TDU Pant Ripstop Pant - Crye MultiCam Large 5.11 Tactical Rush 72 Backpack - Sandstone 5.11 Tactical Rapid Assault Long Sleeve Shirt - TDU Green 5.11 Tactical Flag Bearer Multicam Cap - Multicam Got it as an alternative to my multicam Warrior CPC set up. Easy to carry a load. Loving the Sandstone colour. Greener than Coyote Brown and fits in with so many other colour schemes. Started using 5.11 stuff at work awhile back and although initially sceptical about all the hype I have been impressed. And if it's good enough for me in the real world I know it'll last forever in Airsoft. I'll do a review after some use. CBH Jedi_Master 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reevy Posted December 2, 2017 Share Posted December 2, 2017 I slightly regret going full multicam but after seeing a bunch of people on YouTube with full multicam I thought it looked nice, in person it’s not as good imo but i’ll probably mix it up with some tan in the future, anyway this is what I ordered. 8Fields AAV FSBE Plate Carrier - Multicam Viper fleece hoodie - Multicam 8Fields Hydration pack w/ Bladder - Multicam Viper snood - Multicam Viper special ops boots - Multicam Viper special forces gloves - Multicam Viper elite trousers - Multicam Viper T-Shirt - Multicam Viper elite jacket - Multicam Viper 35L garrison backpack - Multicam 8Fields double rifle gun case - Tan Cyma CM.515 M4A1 Carbine - Black & Blue (Stripped the paint to make it black) ASG 0.20g Blaster 6mm BB x 3000 NUPROL Fast helmet - Multicam NUPROL lower face mesh mask - Multicam (I actually ordered tan but they sent the wrong one lol) Bolle cobra platinum clear goggles NUPROL PMC Battle belt - Multicam 8Fields Dump pouch - Multicam EMERSONGEAR Fast helmet cover - Multicam Shotgun cartridge knife - Green (For opening boxes and because it looks cool) Total: £540.16 (Was just looking for cheap but decent gear on a budget, planning on upgrading a lot in the future once i’ve saved up, this was just to get me started) Hopefully i’ll be getting myself a CM16 Raider before Christmas Also as I said there’s way too much Multicam, It doesn’t look that bad but I just wish I got some tan, funnily enough the only tan item I got was a gun case lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators djben9 Posted December 2, 2017 Moderators Share Posted December 2, 2017 Forgive if I’m wrong but did you buy a two tone as no UKARA defence yet and remove the paint thus creating a RIF?? been in the cold all day so may have misunderstood you along the lines Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe even your t-shirt/jacket if you wanted even less but I think multicam looks great with tan. Reevy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supporters Gepard Posted December 2, 2017 Supporters Share Posted December 2, 2017 Gloves! Something I always seem to overlook this time of year. Picked up some Oakley SI Assault Gloves on eBay used for just over £20. A bargain considering they've never been worn. Reevy and djben9 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is a quote from another member that seems to know what he’s talking about “Do you Skirmish on a regular basis at a proper site and can you prove it? if you do then put any tape you want on it and spray it any colour you like. You have a defence You don't need a 'UKARA' to do this, it is only a way of showing a retailer you have a defence for buying a gun.” Another person selling their gun second hand told me I could buy their RIF without having a UKARA because he knows I’m a legit skirmisher I’ve been told a variety of things from different people that skirmish regularly but technically I would’ve broken the law for making my IF a RIF, as long as I don’t take it out in public and just take it to a proper airsoft site I should be fine.

Supporters TheFull9 Posted December 3, 2017 Supporters Share Posted December 3, 2017 VCRA defence, UKARA is a retailers' association with a database. It's been over a decade since this law was past, anyone who still doesn't doesn't get it needs to go and do some reading. Don't ask other people who don't know what they're talking about, go find some proper articles and look up the actual act on the government website; it's right there, easy to find and not that complicated to understand the basics. If you don't have a defence from prosecution under the VCRA laws, don't manufacture, import or attempt to purchase a RIF. Being on UKARA's database is not the only defence. I'm not going to start talking about the false economy of 8fields, nuprol and viper vs surplus issue kit or hunting down quality stuff for the same price 2nd hand, because that's a lesson most people have to learn for themselves. djben9, Comicbook hero, Bottledtorment and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
