New arrivals. G&G sr15 e3 mod2 knights armament and Novritsch SSG10 A3. The PEQ's 3m velcro adhesive sticker won't adhere on the rubber switch so I'm looking for ways to attach it to the top rail. Just incase the stock barrel and hop aren't up to the job (SR15) I've ordered a barrel and bucking from @ak2m4@ak2m4.

So after 34 pages of basically everyone reporting having had either an identical or pretty close experience to everyone else would it be fair to say general consensus is even if you could you'd have to be a f?king loon of a monumental proportion to even think about buying anything from TG OR gunfire for the foreseeable future then ?

Still waiting for my sight for it though

Purchased a lovely E&L. Don't plan on doing anything to it modifications wise, perfect just as it is ?

Mine has arrived!!!! The recoil is much more than the MWS and it is very satisfying on full auto.

Interesting one this, we have a WE double barreled 1911 which is a *tad* (awesomely) overpriced at £140 seen as they retail at £170ish, especially considering the shitty condition. The real eye opener for me is the G18c, which is described as the usual 'pretty much as new' despite having a fucked front end from being yeeted during a game. So, second hand, skirmished and damaged we're asking £4 more than you can presently buy a G18c brand new from Firesupport. The reasoning on this one is the addition of a Serpa holster, which from quick general reading is also second hand and hot garbage anyway. Oh, and that's plus postage which I guarantee won't be cheaper than Firesupports postage, widening the gap further. This thing of lumping unwanted accessories in with a gun that isn't worth the asking in the first place needs to go away and die. That and the nearly/as/pretty much new thing. It's either new or it's second hand. If you've removed it from the package, taken it to a game and run it, it's definitely second hand. 'New' should not appear anywhere in the description, ESPECIALLY if you've tried to use it as a lawn dart. ?

Point 1 , why yes good sir you are SO spot on ! ?‍♂️ Point 2 , one full size M16 stock , a couple of red dot scopes , a PEQ box with working light and red laser , a 1911 paddle holster and a pair of rather pointy looking AK flash hiders , no problems with any of them .

Bear in mind this is a hobby peopled by mugs who would rather pay a premium for fragile pot metal over robust plastic, beecuz reel steal. Have you had anything assault-toy shaped in them? I had an M4 stock rejected for shipment out of Chinaland, although that may just have been happenstance.

Yes, problem is anything from Asia will get caught in the COVID/Brexit shit show as well and there is very little stock in the UK as it is. Hence second hand market is on the up

Customs is a lottery right now. You wouldn't believe how long it's taking to get an inflatable paddle board through, we're at a month right now and it looks like I might finally get it in a fortnight - which is pretty nuts for a glorified lilo. Can't blame anyone in Europe for not wanting to ship to the UK, I wouldn't if I were them - just ain't worth the hassle. In theory it'll settle down in a few months, backlogs will be cleared and everyone will get a bit more familiar with the rules. Don't hold your breath though.

Saddam's gold plated AK-47 ?. Metal body, real wood furniture.

No, they have retail shops that provide table space for playing their games as well as tournaments and even painting competitions (they flog super expensive paints and brushes as well). It's a smart move, especially with the competition from those vidjya games the kids are into these days. I should stress this is a 1990s anecdote, when some shops were still run by sweaty neckbeards who'd let you get away with shenanigans like no-mini setups (I was at least clutching and citing a purchased rulebook). No chance these days, they have a "no sweaty neckbeard" policy, and their only goal is to flog starter sets and get people hooked on the plastic crack. Fun aside, Henry Cavill (Superman) is a massive GW nerd. He can probably just about afford it as well. https://www.instagram.com/p/B-39B5ShMWw/ Oh, please bear in mind that there are plenty of other systems and settings available (and you can play them for a lot less), it's just that Games Workshop are so dominant in the hobby now. [UPDATE] Dammit, you've got me looking at the Glasgow and District Neckbeard Society now, I might drop by on Sunday and hang out with the other geezers.

There are all sorts of systems available with varying complexities in just about any setting (fantasy, historical, science fiction, naval, aircraft, spaceships) and scales from pub punch-ups to Waterloo. The best systems let you concentrate on actual tactics and putting yourself in the position of a commander, while Games Workshop stuff is much more about meta-gaming to exploit an ever changing set of special rules and trick units, then setting up and rolling huge handfuls of dice without much by the way of actual decisions or tactics once you're playing. You can play at home, the problem these days is finding folk near you to play with who are interested in the same settings and systems as you. That's where Games Workshop shines, they have retail shops and run tournaments where you can use the hugely expensive models that they sold you, and God help you if you try and bring anything else. You could jump on... urgh... Facebook and see if there are any Localtown wargaming / tabletop clubs. True that, I once reduced a grown man to tears in a tournament by exploiting the hell out of Epic with a force composed entirely of cheap Scout Marine companies and Thunderhawk dropships (part played by de-bladed Micro Machines Apache helicopters from the local toy shop). He deploys. My whole army is off table. Turn 1, Thunderhawks drop from orbit to any point on table, and deploy swarms of Scouts directly into close combat with his expensive Titans and super-heavies. Then comes the Epic cheese of "Titan stomps on Scouts, next stand is +3, Titan stomps on Scouts, next stand is +6, Titan stomp on Scouts, next stand is +9, wins, reactor hit, boom." Rinse and repeat until by the end of turn 1 he's lost all his big stuff, and he's trembling and choking up and saying "But all you're doing is trading your cheap units for my expensive ones!" Life is hell in the grimdark, chap.

@TadsJ2 let me know when you want to get rid of the empty receiver. MWS oracle, there's something that has puzzled me for hours today. I insert a mag in my CQBR lower. No problem. With the upper and lower assembled ( note without BCG ), the mag release gets really stiff and sometimes doesn't fully reseat itself on the selector side ( i.e it doesn't become flush with the receiver ), I have to push it back into position. Also releasing the mag is stiff and requires a lot of force. I tried to pair the CQBR lower with my MWS upper and MWS lower with CQBR upper. No problems. Mag release has equal amounts of revolutions tightened on both rifles. Yet problems emerge as I put together CQBR upper and lower... Any idea of what it could be? (They are painted differently, thus no easy fix of combining MWS and CQBR for two working rifles...) Edit @RMDavis I can see that you had a similar problem last year. How's the rifle today?

What a w@nk imagine trying to list magazines ??

Latest project. GHK G5 with a workshop special HPA drum. Creeps like a mofo with heavy ammo so I’ve done the adjustable nozzle mod, now it’s slinging 0.36’s at 250fps edit so it makes sense to @Rogerborg0.36’s at 1.1J

im so glad i didnt pay for the original work done on my sr25 by certain shop...... so far couple weeks ago after a failure at the field found rack bent they had grinded it down in the piston and they ground part of the piston holding the rack which has allowed it to flex and bend.then tonight decided to s hop my barrel and low and behold locktite holding the c-clip in spring on top aswell,also if im not mistaken when flat hopping your suppose to remove the mound on the inside of the rubber? well they had just threw in a flat nub and called it a day!!!

Well the Tango Down that i bought brand new for my son but arrived with broken mosfet is still a bag of of shite despite repairs and I’m not prepared to throw money at a piece of crap so bought him a G&G SR30 as a replacement - which i what i should have bought in the 1st place
