They got in locally up the road from me, place had been staunch Conservative for decades, & then proceeded to do feck all except upset people with daft money wasting ideas? Lol, you reap what you sow ?

DOH, my bad?

Didn't driver wood get slated recently ? ?

Normally I would have said they don't have a snowballs, but after Trump & Boris, which I never believed would happen, & given the current level of distrust of all the main parties, I'm making no predictions this time?

If everyone continues to be sensible, we shouldn't have a problem with pretty much any government, irrespective of party, after all our expensive hobby generates an equally high level of taxation, which governments love. It's when people behave like cnuts & the media get hold of it, or criminal activity involving rifs, then the light is on us, & if said event coincides with a government fuckup, of which their are many, then we need to start sweating lol.

Because airsoft doesn't sound evil or lethal, so won't sell papers or generate clickbait. poxy media, free press my arse?

Is that even possible ??

What's it like, any good ?

You've been watching too much Top Cat mate? (Showing my age now)

But which am bestest ?, being old I still favour the first one, A New Hope (technically now the fourth), forget the sometimes dodgy effects etc, it was a revolutionary new spin on sci-fi, which up to that point had been lacklustre at best.

Agree, never understood why anybody would stick with a shite site that's full of cheaters ?............... Unless of course it suits their playing style ?

It's cos stormtroopers can't shoot straight lol, in the films they miss everything ?

It's a "cutaway", real steel vests have them in case you end up in deep water or trapped in a confined space, usually there's a handle on the front of the vest that when yanked causes the vest to fall apart. Great for safety, but an absolute pita when your mates keep yanking on it?. Most people cable tie it so it can't be pulled.

You can still get them, but the thread size might be an issue ?.

Helicoil it ?, & if the fit feels good then secure with a 2 part adhesive, maybe even JB weld.

Time to spank the dirty dog page with facts on their resident scammer ?

I'm not but the OP may well be. No offense, new member joins & immediately offers a grands worth of rocking horse shit, based upon recent problems the forums been having with new members contacting "wanted ad buyers" with non existent kit, it was always gonna get the spider senses tingling.

Unfortunately no.3 fuelled the all the stupid cnuts in to rushing out to get a malinois (or maligators as they're affectionately known), unfortunately there's now hundreds in rescues facing uncertain futures?

Prove it, let's see the pics with relevant date & username written within them ?

FFS Pete, why, no wonder he's ghosting you. You need to get on to paypal & your bank, there's a slim chance he's a longtime paypal member, if this is the case then you may be able to convince them he's purposely committing fraud, if you have pms showing he actively asked for f&f for whatever reason, screenshot them & forward to paypal, same for your bank as it was your funding source. While odds aren't great, they have to investigate if you claim its fraud. Do this immediately, if his paypal account is new, there's a possibility of a delay in him being able to withdraw funds, not entirely sure about f&f but it's worth a try.

Start a paypal dispute, why give him a week if he hasn't even given you an excuse for not responding. If he doesn't respond to them, you'll get your money back quicker, & even if he does come back with an excuse, valid or not, DONT EVER stop a paypal dispute until you've either got your money, or the items (& your happy with them), as once stopped it can't be restarted. Seriously, I'm amazed at how many sellers are super quick with comms etc right up until they're paid, & then become sloth-like or ghost you?

As @gavinkempsell said, nylon respirator pouch makes a great first aid bag, you can attach it to your belt order or clip a strap to the handily positioned D rings on the back, probably one of the best bits of kit in the 58 pattern loadout.
