Quick Questions & Simple Answers.

I don't have a UKARA. Correct me if I'm wrong but my understanding is you are allowed to purchase these is they are 50% coloured? And why would customs get involved if they are legal?
If you import something from outside the EU, you have to pay customs duty on top of what you have already paid, most likely will have to pay a handling fee aswell to the courier.

 
Edits after fact checking:

KS is allegedly a rebrand of JG (who in turn have many of their parts used by other manufacturers manufacturers - most notably Echo 1).

So the answer is that they have no website as they're not strictly a manufacturer. Look up JG if you want to see their products.

Will TM g18c sights fit on a WE g18c???

 
The TM G18c is known to be about 1mm thicker than its clones and real steel counterpart.

Some people have reported being able to adjust many of the TM fibre sights to fit WE, so if you have a set of files then I'd say it's fair game.

I was aware of the Echo 1 connection, but not of the JG connection - I'm planning to spend £220 on KS, do you have any info on what differentiates the KS from the original JG?

Thanks for this answer, looks like my first AEG will be JG.

Nowt wrong with JG as a budget AEG manufacturer, but £220 sounds a bit strong. Specifically I'd look into replacing the hop rubber.

 
Lonex steel 6.03 barrel for £23 or Madbull 6.03 aluminium for £30?

Not heard anything about Lonex barrels before, no idea how good they are..

The Madbull TBB's are made in a 2 stage process which uses a coating to fill in the imperfections in the inner surface created during manufacture of the aluminium tube. Initially then it probably is a better choice for accuracy than the Lonex. However being a coating it is more susceptible to wear from use and cleaning than stainless steel. As a general plan then I'd say the Lonex for a gun you anticipate using on full-auto often and the Madbull for a gun you plan to use on semi-auto/single shot.

Thanks, I'll give the lonex a go this time then.

 
^^What length? What gun? Any other upgrades? Please let us know how you get on with it.

Annoyingly I couldn't get a lonex or madbull in the right size...thought a 300mm would be OK but after measuring I ended up needing a 275mm, so got a zci 6.02 steel barrel from ak2m4.

It's for my scar, not actually upgrading it just reducing it down to cqc length, although as WE gearboxes are a bit 'meh' I might end up upgrading it properly at some point.

 
^^I'd be interested to hear how that works out. I've had good results from a Guarder chromed brass 6.02mm TBB of about the same length, even on full-auto and occasionally using BB King ammo. Bear in mind that your FPS will jump by approx +30 (going from 6.08 to 6.03mm adds about 30FPS from barrel lengths of around 430-550mm, so the slightly tighter barrel should give about the same even though it is shorter). So you may have to visit your spring to keep within your site's limits.

 
Installed the ZCI barrel, impressed with the quality so far. End is well crowned and has an indented o-ring to help stabilize it.

Not sure about fps precisely as I've not got my own chrono but visually I'd not say there's been much of a difference, think the shorter length has pretty much counteracted the tight bore.

 
Don't hate but is it legal to paint a two tone gun without a ukara?

And how do you make red?

 
It is Legal, as long as you can prove your an Airsofter/Reenactor/Film studio

UKARA is only one way of providing a defense, there are many others.
The law states that its legal to own a RIF for the purpose of playing airsoft.Technically you can own one without ever actually playing as long as you have it with the intention of using it for playing airsoft one day.

The whole VCRA and UKARA thing is totally misunderstood.

 
You could search 'airsoft skipton' and summut should come up mate.

Cerberus Airsoft and First & Only should have some near you.

Sorry I can't change colour im on el fone
