Parts of that WOC are reasonably rare though. I don't think you'd ever find a buyer willing to pay that much (or even 20-30% off that asking), but it could be argued that it's worth that much on paper. The mags especially are impossible to find. The problem is that the WOC/WA just doesn't perform like a gun that costs that much. It's a very old design and they look great, but the bolt is very heavy, which is a problem in UK weather for 6 months of the year.

Please report these as well as posting them here if possible

Like Samurai says - yes. Though I've owned a couple of those cheap cantilever mounts and even the cheapest ones are sturdy. Wouldn't bother flipping it around.

Send me a pic of it and then sure, ye.

Someone should probably let him know that there's an appraisals sub-forum now. I might put that in the header for new sellers.

Not using real pics of the item they actually own is against the rules as it's as good as no pictures at all. Report it and mods will give them 24 hours to update it plus will add a notice to the header of it so people know it's fishy.

In honour of this thread I unveil the new 'Careful Now' reaction for all your slightly-sarcastic-reaction-to-overpriced-listings needs. It's a 'neutral' reaction so gives the bestowed no reputation points, just in case some of you were worried that the 'funny's I've been seeing about on classifieds listings were giving people an undeserved reputation boost.

Yeh, bit late. Can assure you they were in the box yesterday for collection - just didn't think to actually mark them up

PF delivered at 3pm - just enough time to not get them in the post box for 5 after packing all the orders. They're sitting in there now for first collection, however. All of you in the UK should receive them Friday morning.

Paid up the duty and will be delivered tomorrow. Will attempt to have them dispatched tomorrow too (depends when PF turn up). First class for the preorders so you're not waiting an extra day than is necessary. Appreciate all the patience.

Update: They're in customs right now.

They are, yes.

Patches are allegedly dispatched and will be here within 5 days. Only took opening a dispute I guess.

They will still be available even after they're initially sent out Also going through PayPal escalation today to force their hand so we'll see what happens.

Appreciate the offer but I don't think there's much that you'd be able to do short of knocking on their door and seeing what's taking so damn long. If I've no response with a dispatch date by tomorrow I'll be continuing PayPal proceedings.

Had an update today. Still not fully sated for reasons I'll omit from this public forum, but in any case it looks like the cogs are still turning.

Welcome back

Oh also I put these in the Supporters but haven't put them here. I got them pictured next to some fruit just to confirm the contrast and saturation (wasn't obvious in the originals).

May pursue other options in addition to finding out why they're not replying. If this is a case of them not being able to put out the volume I can also try and get a small batch to fulfil those orders made by people who I'm sure will want them for the meet up next month. I too am surprised at the lack of service given their reputation - it's one of the biggest reasons why I picked them and was happy to pay import duty and VAT on these. We're now coming up on 4 months since I initially contacted them for a quote and it's been 2.5 since the order was paid for (in full I might add). A reminder to you all that you can request a refund on these pre-orders at any point up until dispatch. Just send me a PM. Word for word I was sent: On August 14th. This is the last email I've had from them and it's pretty unambiguous.

Less than ideal update: I've heard nothing from them this week despite an email a day from Thursday onwards asking when they were intending to dispatch (they originally stated a dispatch date of some time early last week). Safe to assume that they've not so far, but I haven't more information on why. I've lost my patience at this point so I'll let you all know how they respond on (hopefully) Monday and we'll go from there.

In the nicest way possible with the point I'm trying to make: I will post updates as soon as I have them. However, to add clarification to my previous post I should stress that this means dispatch from the US (where they're being made), not dispatch to you guys. Still hoping to have them out by end of August but I've had no shipping information from Britkit as of yet.

Geoffs and Longbows are the same BLS BBs by the way, so whichever you can get cheaper might be best.

Slight update: I've been informed that they're in full production and will be dispatched by next week. Assuming no hold-ups at customs or problems with shipping they should be dispatched before the end of the month reasonably comfortably.
