  1. Love the pics, not my thing, mainly due to primarily doing russian, but can see why people like it! As for the pts/acr thing, IMO it's a Bizon-saga until proven otherwise.
  2. Airsoft world/scotland. One can of OD Krylon, the saga. 5 months, no krylon, no refund. Finally got my money back after much kicking and screaming. No excuse, wont ever EVER use them, especially not for anything more than a fiver!
  3. Hi. Any chance of more pictures of this? Preferably of the top of the mags (to see how they feed) and the hop unit? Thanks.
  4. I'm not sure i'd like that. When looking for various information for my car, i searched about 3 different forums, plus a good hour online googling things. all i really wanted to know was which headlight bulbs it took, and if it was possible to change them for better ones (i have non-halogen bulbs - lol!). If a forum wouldn't let me post for a week after i'd registered, i'd go somewhere else. Maybe a probationary period would be better? say, 1 month. break ANY rule and you get permabanned. (including sig limits )
  5. just bought one of these, in blue, for £90. needs around £40's worth of work doing to it to get it through its MOT, which i get at trade price anyway, BARGAIN! also just bought two Skean Dubh blades to make into Skean Dubh's for me and my best man at my wedding. Ebony handle definately, as bog oak is expensive, hard to get, hard to work on, and expensive, and with an umbrella corp. logo inlay, i'm thinking...
  6. just a quick suggestion, many (pretty much all of them, in fact) of the other forums i use have a 'preview' type function which shows you the first few sentances of a thread without having to click into the thread itself, by hovering the mouse over the link. i personally find it really usefull in deciding if i want to read a thread or not, or if it even has any relevance to me. another niggly thing, the date sorting of threads is still not working for me. example: any ideas on how to fix the date issue, and thoughts on the hover preview thing?
  7. So yeah. Apprenticeships. good idea, right? getting young people into 'skilled' trades, getting them decent money, and getting the rest of the public more plumbers to overcharge them when their water pipes burst. sounds like a good plan, until you read the small print. thats not all though. So, essentially, if you started an apprenticeship at 16, you could be paid... whatever the *fruitcage* your employer wanted to pay you for three years. which, handily, is how long most apprenticeships take. so yeah. I'm trying to save for a wedding, learn to drive, pay
  8. i have feet that size. discovered i fit into magnums, which is handy. where did you get your boots from, darklite? and how much?
  9. Bit odd, isn't it? I mean, here I am, sat at a computer, doing pretty much what I would be doing if I [wasn't/i] at work, but I'm getting paid to do this... great! onlly problem is, doing an apprenticeship, i get paid around half the national minimum wage, which to be hoenst, i'm not entirely sure is legal... could anyone advise me about that? Meh, i get paid, more than i can say for university. Anyway, to 'problems with sales online'. As some of you might know, i've currently got a thread up there, fair enough, i have (still not resolved) a problem with Airsoft World
  10. fareast, brilliant review! any word on when/if a V3 set will be available? also, please contact Modify and get them to release that anti-reversal latch! being able to rotate/allign it with the gearbox closed would be a GODSEND. so much so, i'm considering taking a dremel to my existing ones....
  11. yeah. fair enough, the CA is only $550 or whatever in the states, but at certain UK retailers its over $800. which makes this, at around $360, an absolute bargain.
  12. no and no. Scaar (he's got a webpage with LOTS of very expensive rare guns and stuff) has one, and with the hand pump thingy you use to charge the shells, its very easy to get it to fire insanely high amounts over forum limits. they fly well though, i think. The review doesnt appear to be working...
  13. There is a section for pistols, and a section for Sniper rifles. fair enough, there isnt for accessories, but there're so many it'd be really hard to do. same with AEG's.
  14. He did. Yeah. with some help from me I for one like the silencer. I really dont like seeing pistols with silencers longer than the damned gun itself. i think it looks really good. SD slides are nice quality, too... although, you DO pay for it.
  15. I might not need the take down catch detente spring (i haven't taken the trigger unit apart.) bu ti definately need the slide stop spring (lost it earlier) and the other one. Where abouts do i get these steel parts then? not seen them anywhere...
  16. there were the spring numbers from stuntmans thread. the part numbers for what i need are: KJW: 28, 27, 39, 30, and 46 TM: P226-29, P226-41, P226-30, P226-48, P226-32.
  17. cheers stunt. any news on the TMP stuff front? as for teh '226, i've broken the hammer, the left side of the hammer unit housing, i've bent the push pin that holds the hammer housing the the frame, and i've also broken the firing pin i also appear to be missing springs number: 48, 47, and 54. help!
  18. Cheers pope. Does anyone know if anyone will sell me a complete hammer unit? i'm not sure whats broken and whats not, and i dont really know how it all goes together. wouldn't mind saving myself some hassle by having one that'll drop in...
  19. Hi there guys. I've just got a KJW P226, and quite a few parts are broken (the hammer, the left side of the hammer housing, and at least one of the silver bits inside the hammer housing. Anyone know if TM ones will fit? and if there's a UK stockist for either? also, i'm certain i'm missing some springs.
  20. Bear in mind it IS coming all the way from china/Hong Kong. its not like it's coming from london.
  21. Does the inner barrel match that length? what i mean is is the inner barrel 1.5cm longer than the star too? also, off topic, any chance of a reply to my PMs? <<<EDIT>>> Also, it looks as if there's not a guard around the mag release, a la the star/real one. could you confirm that as well, please?
  22. Very nice review FarEast. Any idea on what the FPS is? Also, in the last two pictures, it seems as if the Army L85 has a slightly longer outer barrel than the star, is this just perspective or is it actually longer?
  23. You need to drink more if you're going to try and ... pre-hyrdate? is that the word? you're supposed to drink 2L of water each day normally, so try upping it to 3L today. then when you're on the op, just drink whenever you're not moving/shooting/dieing/hiding/etc.
  24. I'll post a pic of my hair soon, if i can ever get around to taking pics. At the longest it's as long as an MP5A5 with the stock fully in (something i have close to hand and also that i know you lot'll know, i dont make a habit of measuring things with guns )
