  1. Had something like 10 ACM T1 clones die because of heavier recoil GBBRs? But you do get what you pay for in that regard. Recently swapped to using Vector and Vortex because they will honour warranties, so if something does break, I don't need to fret over it. At the point in my life where i'd rather just buy something decent once than buy it cheap repeatedly.
  2. Dude unsubtlely looked at my profile on Sunday, thank god for tracking posts. Still hasn't adjusted the pisstake price.
  3. Going rate is more like £400 with that many WE mags, if and only if, its had all the things done to it (Steel FCG, but not the WELL crap, replaced hop rubber/inner barrel, NPAS'ed etc). As this seemingly has none of that, its probably worth more like £200-250.
  4. The "GENUINE" VS-24 is a 5KU VS-25. The CO2 Mags are Well and basically worthless junk. No mention of Steel FCG, NPAS or barrel/hopup swap from stock WE shite barrel/hopup. Absolute mockery of a pisstake.
  5. If you're on an ISP that doesn't provide static IP's (AFAIK only Zen give you one without asking) just renew the IP lease (go into the router's admin panel, disconnect from ISP and then reconnect). IP bans are a moronic tactic. No need to fuck about with VPNs.
  6. BCG is the same. V3 is all to do with the valve knocker in the lower.
  7. That's WE closed bolt. Get a conversion kit for the love of god - V2 is end of life, Closed bolt was end of life a DECADE ago.
  8. Rebels have not been kind on me - Had to dismantle and clean 7 WE M4 mags after they munched themselves whilst loading. They might be ok in AEG mags, but stiff feed lips do not seem to be compatible. (This was 9 odd months ago)

    Elcan C79

    A friend bought one about 10 years ago in significantly worse condition than that for around £400.
  10. Who the fuck would put a turd like that in a display case ?
  11. I stripped shitty not quite anodising that PTS uses with nail polish remover, which is only 30% acetone, off a Magpul PTS Masada, that was less than a year old, given these haven't even been made in near 10 years, and you don't know the state of it under the paint, the risk is too high. Hard anodising goes into the pores, normal does not. Hard Anodising is expensive, PTS cut corners and cheaped out, as you could lift it with light scuffing.
  12. Use Biostrip, its literally a fit for purpose product, that doesn't damage any plastics or original coatings that are on it- petrol will damage the shitty anodising that PTS used to do.
  13. That's nice and easy, get the other one thats not 'upgraded' by DCA, as you'll be being passed the insane markup he does for something that is almost certainly not as high of a value as its listed at..
  14. Was watching and waiting to see the announcement, and whilst the 2 ran at the other theme park were amongst my favourites - I won't be able to play if i'm having to do near 18 hours of driving as well.
  15. TM AKX et al are also empirically better than WE AK's, if not compatible with many RS parts, but then most will take a functioning gun over a pretty one.
  16. Been a user of WE since the closed bolt era, but i'm now swapping to TM as I don't have to stick with a single, shit aftermarket option (note, not upgrade, aftermarket, as they're anything but upgrades). Also another consideration, WE V2 (what most retailers in the UK have in stock at the moment, and what all used sales will be) is now end of life, as V3 has been released 4-5 months ago. There isn't enough information on the reliability of V3 to be able to recommend them, and V2 parts ceased being manufactured 3 months prior to the first production runs of V3, so parts will start to become more scarce.
  17. Not a chance in hell basically. You as a consumer will be unable to find a carrier willing to ship it as its on every shipping companies prohibition list. Also, there is no point trying to fudge it, as everything gets scanned at entry and exits of countries.
  18. Nope. I'm just stating what I will be getting, from a UK retailer, as I don't fancy playing the held up in customs for 6 months lottery again any time soon.
  19. Yup - Having the LT in Grey
  20. He's still selling it elsewhere, as a friend sent me a screenshot of it an hour ago popping up a fresh in a hidden sales FB group.
  21. If this is in regards to the nuprol cases, their pick n pluck is trash, just get the cheaper wave foam and then if you want to get a cutout shape, go to shadowfoam for it, as that is truly amazing compared to both of nuprols options
  22. Had to go look what it was - Anyone actually believe the shit PTS spout? "Self Lubricating Resin Shell" - Do fuck right off, PTS.
