I still don't get it myself, a mesh lower face mask seems pretty marginal to me when up against shrapnel. And as to why the Metropolitan Police would be wearing them proper boggles my noggin. But I was never any kind of armed forces so what do I know. But I will say I was VERY glad I was...

In my experience all the airsofters I've met loved dogs and when I take my labrador into the safe zone everyone wants to stroke him, so I don't think anyone would hurt the dog deliberately. But in my experience many airsofers have little idea of gun safety and anyway in game all bets are off as...

I have heard that. Supposedly much of the assembly is done in Denmark and some of the furniture is via CZ as they and ASG have a relationship.

How mine is set up now, the stock doesn't look as tacticool as the QRS that came on it but the Magpul has room for a looooong day of spray and pray. Rail covers make it much more ergonomic and the sight "riser" thing is because it's difficult to get cheekweld wearing a mask. Pictured with...

Yes that seemed to do the trick, since then it's been good as gold. Even with the 11.1 in. I really think the shop that sold it me should have sorted it, just on general principal.  But then again it only cost a few quid and he did it in like 10 minutes while I waited. It helped I'd...

There's a lot of sense spoken here. Yes we should be careful as any small group can be portrayed as guilty of wrongthink in the febrile clickbait climate nowadays.  That said I'm on the verge of old fartdom now, but I was bought up with the general sentiment that you don't wear badges and...

I've found my VFC Avalon Calibur to be a very reliable game day mainstay... But I have to admit it double fed like mad out of the box. Once a tech quickly put a Maple Leaf 60 in it, I now have great range and reliability (and I think it's 11.1 ready even if the manufacturer doesn't. I just keep...

Thanks for the Raresoft tip, there's another timesink rabbit hole for me to go down. ? Yes it really is a marmite airsoft isn't it! Despite not knowing about guns at all the rest of the family refuse to touch it when they go to a game. The magazine is in the wrong place apparently and that's...

So, if the serial number is to be believed, I have the first of their second production run, after they had been sent a scary letter by FN's lawyers presumably. Markings on airsofts have always been an iffy subject, funny it took Real Steel companies so long to cash in as they are now beginning...

OK, so does this serial number mean anything? I bought it non working at an auction at LAC's The Farm, apparently it belonged to an old guy who collected and had had to give up ether due to ill health or he had passed. I've not seen anything in google image searches, all of them either have...

I scored a Pelicase 1660, for, well £140 basically. Bargain! It doesn't hold my M4s - too long - but everything else, my whole AS collection, goes in there. Looks cool AF all nestled in foam cut outs inside a bloody great tacticool crate. (Useful as I'm moving house). Also bought an ASG CZ75...

Exactly the same happened to me! Is yours all plastic with the red cylinder? Apparently they're Jin Gong (sp?), cheap and cheerful, yet mine has been so super reliable so I am half tempted to see if there's a steel outer barrel upgrade.

I hear you, quality externals with junk inside seems to be an airsoft bugbear. But Combat UK reckoned it was effectively a pre upgraded gun, as compared to cheaper VFC ARs that I was also perusing.  I certainly thought about TM but, from what I've heard, these latest VFC internals seem pretty...

I think this is the same internals, I did indeed want the 416A5: officially licensed by H&K, fully ambi with little guard thingies around the controls*, improved magwell. It seems like H&K on top of their game putting 50 years worth of observation on the AR platform to good effect. Then...
