it's cool, that other thread doesn't get much traffic often ends up hidden a couple pages back. tbh i've only ever had 2 optics get shot out and only one irreperably, was interesting playing out the day on irons lol. but each to their own, must admit that's some fine 3-d printing as the standards of these things go.

iirc we have a thread for making stuff if you wanna go there specifically. that looks pretty good, and that's coming from someone who abhors lens protectors so much i refuse to use them on anything no matter how cheap or expensive the optic is.

little acheivement get sign. although cue the spamming of the classifieds with overpriced stuff just to get the badge

hey it's cool. this thread works both ways and you've been thoroughly vindicated. probably a limited market as you say but we got all sorts on here.

kind of agree with that, nothing like being able to hold the thing in your hands and get that "ooh shiny" vibe to pull you over that hill of spending a lot of money to start up a hobby. i mean i'd been airsofting a good decade before i started buying gats online, up until that point it was impulse buys at the brick and mortar and secondhand.

Lozart's original guidance in the appraisals thread to the seller was for a £1400 rrp and 8-900 secondhand, seems the seller went for the lower end of that bracket. i assume someone with the cash and desire for such a thing probably has a good idea wether or not it's worth it (at least i'd hope anyone dropping that kind of cash on a rig has done some research)

you can work around it depending on what kind of draw speed you want, just run the mag seperate and load the gun when you're gonna use it. of course this is just another reason why the mighty makarov with its infallable heel release is the greatest pistol ever made

^be warned, soft fabric style holsters + thumb button mag release=click of doom + hours of searching for a dropped mag.

that's, umm, that's definately something......

i mean that is the one thing every WE i've met is incapable of......

i don't bulk buy, but i do keep a stock of them around. but then i keep stock of just about everything these days.....

There's a reason you see ten polarstar jacks for sale for every f2.....

they're all over the show tbh. some of we's stuff is pretty damn good, some of it is utter garbage. their products tend to fall down though when there's competition, the only gun they make that i can put my finger on and say "the we version is the best out there" is the makarov and it's long list of 1 blowback competitor.....

am i the only one thinking there's a distinct star-trek vibe going on here

never understood skeletonised builds in airsoft. in the RS world it seems to be a 50/50 split between weight reduction and fashion. i tend to be suspicious of super high-end builds like that though, can't help but feel that things were chosen based on the criteria of shiniest/most expensive rather than being a good/compatible part for the build.

Ooh fancy. I do plan on getting a proper soldering station if my 1996 iron that came with the real robots magazine ever breaks......

party membership is bought with loyalty not cash......

or we could get the same for £24 less, and it comes with free bonus pixels! https://www.patrolbase.co.uk/src-sr-33-replica-tt

wasn't there a manufacturer literally did just that with one of their mags, can't remember what rifle it was for i wanna say an sr25

did you not see my sneaky link

yeah but good luck finding magazines

dude's got committment, you gotta respect that

Even worse is it could be an m4 mag adaptor in it too, that or a drum. I'm not against the concept of a stocked pistol but tbh the carbine kits you get now seem the better alternative for practical usage.
