    Bucking recommendation

    Hello. So my M4 (~340fps) currently has the Prometheus EG barrel with the Prowin chamber. I am looking for a bucking and nub that will fit the window in the barrel and the chamber properly. I currently have the Maple Leaf bucking, but the BB contact doesn't quite fit into the window (see...

    Reflex sight or 1x Optic recommendations

    Hi all, So my run-of-the-mill £15 reflex sight I had for 10 years finally broke. (It looked something like this http://image.sportsmansguide.com/adimgs/l/6/617798_ts.jpg). Since I've never had the luxury of trying out different styles of optics /aiming devices, I would like some...

    TM P226 Holster recommendations?

    I want to get a new holster for my TM P226. I currently have a fabric drop leg, but it's quite annoying. There is a buckle I have to do up to make the pistol secure - very inconvenient to draw and put back in. It also seems to work itself to the front of by thigh after a bit of running. The good...

    (Random2) Sound Hog

    I got really bored writing my thesis, so two random topics today ;) So basically I was given a Noveske sound hog. For an AEG the sound amplification isn't bad. But I found that by removing the front end of my 6 (or 7) inch suppressor and taking all the foam out, the sound amplification was...

    (Random) BB containers - What's your preference?

    Quite a random topic, I'll admit that. So bb pellets come in bags and bottles and bottles with draining tips. I've always preferred using sealable bags. Its so much easier to fill high cap mags and loaders. You just shove the whole thing into the bag, open the 'lid' and scoop and shovel the...

    Moving to Sheffield

    So, I'll be moving to Sheffield later this year to start a new chapter of my life. I should be making enough money to continue this awesome and expensive hobby of airsoft. So I had a look at airbana, and there seems to be a few sites around the city. As I love the Mall in Reading, the Stan CQB...

    Encountering awesome/honourable player

    There have been many stories about people's experience with stupid/silly/inexperienced players. Although they are very amusing and enjoyable stories, there is a lack of the contrary, mainly because awesome players are much harder to come by, or more easily go unnoticed. I would just like to...

    Questions on Radios

    Hello, I seems to have hijacked Nacoma's thread. So here is a new one. So I've read a few different threads, and here's what I've gathered. -Dont get Baofengs, or UHFs, they need a licence -Get Motorola, binatone, or any other PMR446 radios. -Get a radio with iVOX/VOX settings -Don't get...

    Shipping a gun in parts.

    Since the VCRA forbids importing of RIFs without a defence, and not parts, I guess it would be possible to break up a whole gun into parts and send them from overseas to here. Though admittedly, you'll be asking for trouble if you do that. However, what about sending guns over here that are...

    Thought on Bunker 51 & The Mall, please?

    Hello, I live in London, and is planning on a skirmish around here. Bunker 51 seems to be the only one nearest to central London. Though it will be a total of 55 quid and only three hours of action. Another possible site is The Mall in reading, which is similar in price, and includes a full...

    Importing Parts From Asia

    Hello its me again. Sorry for all these law questions, but the VCRA is quite illusive. So I am thinking of importing some airsoft parts for some friend. He will be paying me back for the cost of the parts, but I will not be making a profit, so I am not sure if this counts as a transaction. The...

    Question on UKARA Requirement and importing RIF

    Hello So I went to an airsoft equipment shop today, and started talking to a few of the employees on airsoft related things (duh). They were very nice and helpful, and we had a good chat. We then started talking about the UKARA registration requirements and importation of RIF. The guy told me...

    Quick Joule Test Using a Coke Can

    Hello guys, I am not sure if you guys knew this, but a quick way to (roughly) test the energy of a gun is by shooting into a coke can. Using 0.2g bb pellets, hold the muzzle about half an inch away from the surface of the can, at right angle, holding the can in place: Shooting into the side...

    Possible Mesh-type Protection Risk

    Hello guys, So I've heard some years ago that the mesh-type face/eye protection can be quite dangerous, as bb can shatter upon impact, and small pieces can go through the mesh and do some damage. This, apparently, is more likely to happen with the tougher, stronger interwoven type. I myself...

    Hello from the Far East

    Hello fellow airsoft comrades, My name is Jeff, and I'm new to UK airsoft. I've done a bit of airsofting in Hong Kong, and as you may know, it is very popular in Asia, but we call it wargaming over there. I never knew airsoft existed in the UK. I just thought you guys only do paintballing...
