New to Newcastle area and looking to get back into the hobby. Any teams about or recommendations for sites near here? I'm thinking normal skirmish days but I'm more into casual milsim. By that I mean, team stuff, but not hard-core seal/so all must wear exact everything. If this makes little to no sense then general local info would be appreciated.

Yeahhh I understand, he literally gave it to me as we will be going to airsoft quite abit now , just thought it would save abit of money. Me and him will both be going so we can get ukara membership. I was just making sure because it’s painted all black now so looks real. I will be going to a good airsoft site he went to get his in Essex which is properly insured so I should be alright , obviously I will keep it in a bag at all times until we get into the game and stuff . appreciate the reply

Hi there! I'm down the road a bit in Hartlepool. You've got several sites in the area: NSC near the airport. Woodland gaming on a Paintball site. No limits - indoor CQB in Gateshead NTAC - small woodland site near Pittington Dirty dog - probably the main site in the area, a container village with woodland and open ground. Located at Shildon District 23 - similar to no limits. Billingham by the train station. Adrenalin - another Paintball site, near Richmond. Stirling airsoft - themed airsoft that tends to run weekend events around once a month, set on Catterick army base.

see, what i read there is: i'll confess to not being the biggest expert on the intricacies of ak furniture, but i thought the 74 pattern was a side swivel not bottom? it's hard to tell from the pics but it looks like it might just not have a muzzle device installed, or at the very least just a thread protector. eh, wouldn't be the first time folk have run "incorrect" mags because either they don't care or couldn't find the ones they wanted in stock.

This is my TM next gen build. The 20rd magazin isnt ready, but soon.

My new (to me, but second hand) TM H&K416 Devgru, upgraded by Daves Customs

Slightly. I already have a king arms m4 moe that needs a service and will be gtg and have my TM 416 devgru finally coming home after being sold to a mate but not being used so I'm taking custody back end of the year ? Already have a PC and helmet and have always skirmished in old bdu pants since the days when blachawk down getup were the one. Need to look at a replacement sidearm as my old glock is a bit a chonky for real holsters.

Well I have an MWS but its stock. Not a fan of M4 or shotguns massively. but a nice GBBR Ak always gets my attention

Hold on, have you been into my gun cupboard and nicked my GHK??? Cos that one looks a lot like mine does currently

And of course you get 3 spare correct magazines in the price. hmmm starting to convince my self I need this…..

And there’s me, hoping the postie doesn’t straight up lose mine

Ak 101. although early model 74 look strikingly similar to the akm, in that they both have fixed stock and wooden furniture; apart from chambering different rounds, the main visual ‘tell’ is the gas block: Ak47 have a distinctive curve whereas the 74 has more of a vertical stature. this being the pmc akm, I would quite easily see someone buying this and selling the five 74 mags and the furniture and gas tube for say £275. And setting it back in pic mode, leaving them with a perfectly respectably upgrade rif for £325. don’t sound like too bad a deal when you break it down? Yeah yeah why don’t I but it? Ghk baby….

Word. I'd just note that at this point your only real concern isn't possession of a RIF or how you got it, but possession in public. Firearms Act 1968 section 19 makes it an offence to possess any imitation firearm (realistic or otherwise) in public, without a reasonable excuse, the proof whereof lies with us. In other words, only have it with you when you're on your way to an insured airsoft skirmish site, ideally with pre-booking, and have the site details to hand. Other than that, you're golden. Or, black.

Can we guess what the next video may contain?

Sorted this but have cleaned the barrel multiple times since issues developed and tried multiple other inners. Turned out that the G&P SPR kit I brought was just so poorly made and aligned (came from the factory using shims at the receiver mount, shims on the outer barrel end and an adapter to make their randomly 12mm threaded barrel end to 14mm CCW all that meant that unless the stars aligned I was always gonna be having issues with it not being as accurate as needed. Lesson learned though will avoid G&P as a general rule in future without much more research.

Any offence was committed at the time that it was painted (Modification of an IF into a RIF) In the first drafts of the VCR bill this was a standalone offence, in the final VCRA it’s arguable that the intent of airsoft skirmishing becomes a valid Defence to the original offence of painting it Gifting is a grey area - It’s a technical work around normally applied to players under the age of 18 as they cannot purchase either an IF or RIF He could sell it to you if he wishes, as you are over 18 so can legally buy an IF or RIF You don’t have UKARA membership to document yourself as an airsofter, but if he can satisfy himself that your intent is to play airsoft skirmishing on insured sites then that is all the law requires, and a sale of a RIF is legal However nobody will know or care how you came to be in possession of an IF that has been painted.

@Steveocee it’s finally happening

Nice one, the one I have is damn sweet and he's told me the print quality is even better again! Well worth the movement to a single platform IMO. Am going to be trying my hand indoors with gas mags soon as well rather than HPA, see how that fairs up lol.

Pretty sure it's either fixed or sat in a box doing nothing by now...

Finally got my MAWL today: My heavily customized ICS Hera I'm calling 'Orion'. I've still got the lower receiver the change and the handguard. Strike Industries pins, and an Acetech Blaster supp/tracer unit.

KJ Works KC02 given the Rogueworx treatment. Currently set up as a single action sniper but can be a semi auto DMR inside of 2 mins with a bolt swap Join the KC02 discord, join us https://discord.gg/kqrxqvTC Hail Saustrich

The new TM NGRS mp5. Had my first game last Sunday with it and as with all TM guns it obviously shoots amazing out the box but with the new MOSFET system, just a huge improvement on trigger response and no lock ups on semi which essentially saves the need for a titan. Trigger pull is short which is nice with good spring tension and the fire selector has a firm click and no play between each setting which is unlike any other AEG mp5 unless your lucky enough to have a TW5. Converted to a SD straight out the box as that's my preferred mp5 variant. I jubilee clip a lower kac rail with a stubby tango grip and looking at sourcing a eotech for the devgru look. As my user name suggests I love mp5s grew up seeing them in films and TV shows, I normally run a MWS as performance wise it's hard to beat but the build quality and performance of the mp5 is outstanding so I bumped the FPS up out the box so its now up there with the MWS and I personally feel like the MWS will start gathering dust now ha.

New addition

The family

My current collection. Only a handful… for now ?

Finished the case for my lovely new pistol

Well, a lot of work later and shes finished. HPA'd STAR L86. R-hopped 550mm IB, Polarstar F2 engine inside a custom designed and 3D printed gearbox, custom wiring and microswitches, modifications done to fit the IGL, and more. Max range about 85m (not accurate range for you haters). Im happy. Still need to sort out the two side pins behind the magwell, look into adding a grip of some sort if needed, and toss a light on it.

This little puppy is back with me after some extensive work. Will likely swap out the B19 for a B19N at some point simply because I think they look nicer, and likely swap the grip/handstop to an RK-6. Will be adding paracord to the stock and I think it’s about there.

Little attempt at some bone grips modded from the original Tanaka ones.

Old vs new…

#ready

BEFORE and AFTER for reference Went mad with the ol' grate polish Also used some brown shoe polish on black to give it a subtle bakelitey tinge
