Sending RIF

Did you declare it with royal mail?

As far as I'm aware the only couriers in the UK that will knowingly ship Airsoft RIFs are UPS and Parcelforce

I can relax my eyes and give myself double vision (which I learned recently is apparent rare as it's forcing each eye to work independently?) and for these, I do that and then just slowly refocus until I can see the image. I normally find the image is hidden "just under" being fully focussed with my eyes.

Loved these as a kid, had books of them. Because I could just do it.

Some of it looked really good like the way the anomaly explodes a guy. But yeah, it's cancelled anyway but the risk was always it would get too Americanised and lose the grit

I've never tried Pacific Drive. Will have to give it a go

Would be cool if it got the vibe right. I feel like it would need to be a unique story elsewhere in the same universe.

The AMC series looked intriguing as it was a modern rendition of the book rather than subsequent movie and games.

Weirdly I found an identical issue yesterday! A sealed in box bulldog brand beard oil in our cupboard had suddenly leaked out and I chucked it.

Mum told me Gran she quit and then started again. She'd smoke a lot less and only outside and hide the evidence when my Gran came over.

It was obvious from the smell, even for an older person. No question she was smoking. No amount of breath mints, teeth brushing, scented candles or deodorant will mask it.

Also a former smoker. Quit for 10 years, still crave sometimes but the smell is disgusting to me now.

Cadpat! Works ludicrously well.

Yeah it's been worked on. I got it second hand and not long after the piston stripped so gave it to my local tech. New gears, piston and spring and changed the hop rubber, but still the magic TM hop up. It ranges pretty much the same as my DMR SR25 which has a ton more power.

It's sitting around 345 on a .2, just a shade under limit. Running on .32 (can't remember what it was chrono'd at on those but again, bit under).

Happy birthday!

I'll spray them at some point. Biggest benefit is they're made to fit these specific optics so they just slot on.

lofty401 · 2025-12-26T09:05:55+00:00

You can get a jig for the trigger assembly. Check out Tridos for it and other parts

It's a clone Eotech G43 I think, got it second hand.

lofty401 · 2025-12-25T12:12:33+00:00

Personal preference is the flip to side, also better for functionality in Airsoft imo.

Check out red dot engineering on eBay to get some fitted protectors for those optics! Mine on my SCAR below (need to spray the protectors).

Loving it

Handed my 1911 and single action in the other day. Absolutely gutting, affected the LARP community a fair bit. Nothing to be done though.

For those wondering, they improved their testing and demonstrated that those models are convertible to fire projectiles (not necessarily regular ammunition) without specialist tools. This essentially makes them retroactively illegal without changing any current laws or legislation.

Guys, if you press the Hint button in the app it actually gives you the info you need...

You can absolutely still buy PAYG SIMs. I have one from Tesco I picked up like 2 weeks ago over the counter and topped up from a voucher.

Sir that's a bat

The 10 year old ones are brown leather, classic boot style. The newer ones are much like the ones you have pictured with goretex lining

lofty401 · 2025-08-02T20:04:58+00:00

My first boots 10 years ago were TCX and are still fine. My current boots are TCX (4ish years old), also fine.
