Skarclaw Posted May 28, 2015 Report Share Posted May 28, 2015 pfft Pro Airsoft Supplies proper *fruitcage*ed me on an "upgrade". Asked them to install a high torque motor, gearset and mosfet. No problem. Took the gun in, was told they didn't actually have any of the parts but could install the mosfet (that I supplied) and did me a good deal on a g&p motor. At the end of the week I rung ahead to check that it was all ok to pick up after work. They didn't know what I was talking about until the bloke on the phone saw my gun lying around. Anyway I ended up picking up the gun the next day, took it home to shoot (the day before a skirmish) to find that they'd installed the mosfet in such a way that it was putting pressure on the hop up unit, giving it a max range of 10m. And the motor was pretty disappointing as well. Lesson learnt - the tech's at PAS can do one. I got it upgraded by AoD instead who is THE MAN. Link to post Share on other sites
Lone_Bullet Posted May 28, 2015 Report Share Posted May 28, 2015 Explain the situation and demand a partly refund? They made it unusable... Link to post Share on other sites
Hardcore1-6 Posted May 28, 2015 Report Share Posted May 28, 2015 I had a rifle in at Swindon Airsoft for 9 months and they didn't do anything at all.Literally one dodgy wire needed replacing, and they didn't get round to it until I went in and asked what was what. Stood in the shop til they did it. Rifle packed up completely three games later, but meh. Link to post Share on other sites
scorch Posted May 28, 2015 Report Share Posted May 28, 2015 I just do my own work. To be honest, it's not that difficult, and I'm not paying a shop to do something I can do myself. Link to post Share on other sites
hitmanNo2 Posted May 28, 2015 Report Share Posted May 28, 2015 Tech certainly seems to be a lot more miss than hit with airsoft. If you find a good one, lucky you. I took a gun into a well known shop, explained the problem, showed them the issue which was visible from the outside. Picked it up a few weeks later 'all fixed' looked at the visible problem and it was exactly the same. They managed to fix it second time round though I suppose. Link to post Share on other sites
Cannonfodder80 Posted May 28, 2015 Report Share Posted May 28, 2015 Ahh, PAS. the people who when the new management took over decided to put profits over supporting a charity skirmish day raising money for Help for Heros Link to post Share on other sites
DeltaZero Posted May 28, 2015 Report Share Posted May 28, 2015 Ive heard varying reviews from PAS.. Can't say I am a fan of them. Personally I use YouTube and common sense. Link to post Share on other sites
Skarclaw Posted May 28, 2015 Report Share Posted May 28, 2015 tbh they are good blokes I just wouldn't get stuff fixed/upgraded there Link to post Share on other sites
Bovinedog Posted May 28, 2015 Report Share Posted May 28, 2015 Has proairsoft changed hands then? And what's this about them not supporting charity? I've seen a couple of moans about that. To be honest, the owners could be donating thousands to charity and you might not even know it. Link to post Share on other sites
Cannonfodder80 Posted May 28, 2015 Report Share Posted May 28, 2015 Explain the situation and demand a partly refund? They made it unusable... Partial refund? I wouldn't be giving them a penny if it was my gun that came back with new problems Link to post Share on other sites
shmook Posted May 28, 2015 Report Share Posted May 28, 2015 I do my own work too. As said, I'm not paying for something I can do myself. I do currently have am M4 with a horrible air leak though... Link to post Share on other sites
Lone_Bullet Posted May 28, 2015 Report Share Posted May 28, 2015 Um, not talking about paying, just ask a refund for things they didnt doand services not rendered Link to post Share on other sites
Skarclaw Posted May 28, 2015 Report Share Posted May 28, 2015 So what makes me happy is for the last couple of months I've been bitching about not being able to get UKARA or site membership - all this time an old skirmisher mate of mine has been working an at an airsoft shop, so can sort me out. And its payday tomorrow Link to post Share on other sites
Alias1983 Posted May 28, 2015 Report Share Posted May 28, 2015 I have 2week pay periods and I'm in the same boat. I need to stop buying MTG cards, but every time I go to the LGS I see something I need like 2 force of will and 4 abrupt decay and other fish stuff Link to post Share on other sites
paranoiddroid Posted May 28, 2015 Report Share Posted May 28, 2015 Oh g9d the amount of mtg cards I need is terrifying Link to post Share on other sites
shmook Posted May 28, 2015 Report Share Posted May 28, 2015 I want to ask what mtg cards are, but fear the question will cause this thread to spiral into several pages of games workshop babble... They are to do with little tiny model men and 20-sided dice, aren't they... And sweaty men with beards. Link to post Share on other sites
amateurstuntman Posted May 28, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 28, 2015 Yeah, I was going to tell you the difference but sweaty guys with beards sums it up nicely. Look it up, it stands for Magic: The Gathering. Link to post Share on other sites

Tw1tch Posted May 28, 2015 Report Share Posted May 28, 2015 I still need to learn how to airsoft tech. Fortunately I've a G&G Raider gearbox I can play with as it was my first rifle and a lovely two tone stock and receiver so don't really fancy keeping it functional (might eventually swap out the badly sprayed two tone and get a nice barrel/RIS for it to keep as a lender gun or something that will just work though). What made me happy is today I basically did cash for the open. Counted all the till inserts, the safes, processed the fruit machine collection and banked it. Was interesting learning new stuff and it puts me off to a great start for getting my cash handling training signed off so I can take over as the opening manager if all goes well next Thursday.

scorch Posted May 28, 2015 Report Share Posted May 28, 2015 Just found out my laptop came with Movie Maker. Had a poke about and it seems like it's really easy to use for what I want to use it for. Link to post Share on other sites
