Recommend a tech sub section?

@Prisce Can you expand your idea a bit. Do you mean a single topic for "Recommended Technicians" or a sub-forum for "Airsoft Techs"? We do not get that many topics about this though.
Creating a new sub-forum within the 'Advice & Technical Help' section makes the most sense. A place for any topic asking about airsoft techs, review of a specific tech, or recommendations could go there.

I think it is open to discussion. I believe 1 thread would suffice( can’t be that many techs or people using them).
I had been speaking to a couple of guys on site today who were asking about decent techs because they have had bad experiences before, and I have no idea of any or where they are.
I reckon the best way to do this would probably involve you mods doing even more work?(you know you love it)
And as people post, edit the first post, put techs name, rough location, maybe a percentage of feedback?
(We all know even the best techs will get some bad feedback as someone doesn’t approve of something- maybe it could help the techs improve too?)

Not a bad idea. Maybe include reviews of amateurs who are willing to work for beer or bb’s as well?
Another forum I go on that is not airsoft related do a mentors title for people that are willing to help people in there local area.
We already list our skirmish sites, so adding a search feature to put names to places in the mentor list might be possible. It would mean some effort on the staff here to get site names standardised.
The basic idea been that if you have a problem you can search for a mentor in your local area and try to meet up face to face probably at a skirmish, and have someone you can trust just give the problem gun a quick look and advise you on the correct action to take. Not offering to repair the gun, Simply telling the other person what the likely fault is, and where is best to send it in the local area to pay someone to fix it.

yeah would be good to know others with in the area and what the rate etc. is , i only know one from Gunman which is great as i dont have to drive to Firesupport all the time!
on the rating side, may have to be careful as some may take a bad one to heart, ive seen similar happen on other forums and it can get messy

All for this, but yes if it's a mate who's trying to help for a crate of beer or bottle of BBs - don't go slating him on a forum if his fix doesn't go according to plan ?
I'm just covering myself as I'm fixing a team mates ICS right now!

Good idea mate. Literally just logged on to look for tech reviews as I’m looking for one pref based in south east/Kent to undertake some work for me and such a sub set as the one you are suggesting would have helped....

Of course the issue with these sorts of forums is that they tend to die over a couple of years as threads aren't maintained. I'm sceptical that there're enough techs about who use these forums to warrant a section, but I'll speak to Jedi about it and see if we can trial something at least.

My idea was purely just to advertise where professional techs, and home grown techs were located, and what experiences people have had with them, ie Quick turn around but expensive, shoddy aftercare but really nice to deal with.
Just so people don’t keep getting abused and like I and some others here, fobbed off by apparently professional techs who don’t have a clue what they are doing.
Like some others have suggested, certain jobs,(setting the hop and chronoing) could be done by a local guy for a beer or something.
I think it would provide the traffic, and do the community a favour.

I keep asking him questions and he keeps giving me really good info, have to assume he is fairly good. Especially as his sniper was great fun to fire and was hitting consistently. I actually got kills with it. Now I need the Wife to sanction a new gun ?yeah test would be good, need to now how good Prisce is with sniper mods....!!
