  1. dapprman, no worries because I'm here now! :P

     

    I have a carbine kit on mine. I did not install the longer barrel that comes with it, because I was happy with the range and performance etc; so the kit was entirely for aesthetic reasons.

     

    This is entirely subjective of course, but it makes the gun much more comfortable to hold for me; especially with an AFG on the end. I have long arms though, soooo.

  2. Sorry to hear you had a bad experience.

     

    A quick look at their site has this address (Via streetview) https://www.google.co.uk/maps/place/Woodley/@51.446894,-0.895896,3a,90y,81h,90t/data=!3m4!1e1!3m2!1s70L7PnNphAXNj9enQ_y5qQ!2e0!4m2!3m1!1s0x48768460447ca5fd:0x90b552cff9e1e911!6m1!1e1

     

    A normal residential house. No way they've got all their kit in there. Mobile number, outlook.com domain - He probably orders the kit when someone places an order which explains the long wait times, especially if it's from China or similar. :(

  3. Good to know. I'll have to send them an email. Hopefully they reply. I found a site called Airsoft Panda that has it, emailed them, got nothing back. Emailed UNCompany since I'm ready to buy a VFC HK416, nothing back from them either. Sheesh.

    If I remember correctly, AirsoftPanda went bust / "disappeared" because they took money for loads of preorders but the products never arrived.. Might be why you haven't heard from them :P

  4. FYI, that is not a 604 upper. It looks more like a late sp1. The lower is also off (B&W photo helps) but still a good looking replica.

    For the uninitiated, could you explain the differences? I know it could be either because it has no forward assist or brass deflector, but that's where my knowledge ends :)

  5. If you're still looking for a hurdle, one hurdle might be to simply add an application process and restriction of RIFs until they've got their first bit of feedback. So, the user reads the FAQ on how to access the classifieds, and PMs a sales moderator with maybe proof of site membership, a UKARA reg number, proof of age (If that's not too authoritarian!) whatever. The user's then restricted from the RIF section until they buy/sell something else, such as an accessory, gear etc.

     

    Positives: 

     

    • It doesn't take too much effort for someone to apply that way, and ensures there's a system of checks in place to make sure that babby's first airsofter doesn't start buying scary black guns.
    • It helps the classifieds become a little more open, accessible. 
    • Encourages users to stick around in the community.

    Negatives:

     

    • Effort for the sales admins (Counter: maybe adding a few more volunteers?)
    • Imposing, possibly, for someone to be asked for proof of membership or ID.
    • Someone selling something as a loss-leader, like an ASG shotgun shell, in order to get access to the RIF section which would be more lucrative if they wanted to scam.

     

    Whatever happens, what I think needs to happen is for the classifieds to become VISIBLE much like the entire forum now - If you try to access the forum without an account, there's the news section and the FAQ which addresses how you can access the rest of the forum.

     

    I think that would help for the classifieds, to have just a single post there saying "How do I gain access?" or similar. That way it cuts down on people making threads asking about how to access them, and it might convince someone to stick around a little longer - Even if they do sod off after the first 100 posts.

  6. It does, yes - To a certain degree. I need to test it when it's brighter outside, but what mine does, is it (On a cloudy day) requires the battery to function, but when I take it outside it's like the solar cell takes over to a degree. The red dot gets brighter and becomes super visible.

     

    The King Arms red dot I've got, by comparison, is pants outside. I'll try and take some comparison pics :)

     

     

    If you want it straight from the chinese supplier's mouth,

     

     

     

    Yes solar power is very function. It work.

  7. Quick update to my S17,

     

    It now fires on full auto! Great/awful :P

     

    I spoke to Armourpiercing at The Mall and he suggested that it's the trigger sear that's not engaging. I did notice that the screw holding in the BBU is extremely loose. When I tightened it it did seem to improve a bit. I'm wondering if I loctite it it'll resolve itself. I'd be interested to hear if anyone else has had any issues.
