Experiences/advice with Airsoft retailers.

the order history should be pretty much automatic, would take forever if he was doing it manually...

both of mine from rsov so far are there anyway

Mark_Sc

You can buy plugs at any electrical store and they arent hard to rewire...
anyway i always find the houskey in the saftey hole works well

Ample Free ...?

I've gotten two from uncompany, the first didn't quite work properly, the LED didn't work and I couldn't tell if it was working, it was anyway but I got a second on my next order to be on the safe side. One had a 2 pin plug, the other had a 3 pin plug, so you could get either. Even if you get a 2 pin plug you'll easily find a cheap adaptor.

or a knife/screwdriver*

16airassault: not sure tbh, which charger is it you bought? is it the type where the transformer itself plugs into the wall (if it comes with a gun then it's gonna be one of these) or the fancy type intelligent chargers that have a lead?



*this is a really bad idea, never stick anything metal into a socket, i know we've all done the "screwdriver in the earth pin" trick at some stage but dont blame me if you get blown up

aye, and what you're plugging into the wall has gotta be dual voltage... remember we on 220v over here, some of the stuff is 110v only, which will do nasty things when plugged in over here

16airassualt

yea its one of the ones that comes free with the gun,if its one of the two pronged ones i should be able to get one of those convertor dealy big worded thingingys from woodies,so that it works in our plug sockets without any problems.

ever had any incidents with the hk plugs??..like fires or shocks:D

kdouglas

sizzle...........POP!

most transformers do tend to be 110/220 alright, but check just to make sure, also i noticed my intellicharger has a switch on the bottom for 110/220, thankfully it was already set to 220 as i never checked before plugging it in

16airassualt

that could have cost you some eyebrows:eek:

thank for the help ive just placed my order,got the ca steyr a1,48,000 bbs[bulk pack,12 bags of 4000],tm hicap and another battery.it all came to just under 400euro including p&p.

wolfarmouries was going to charge me over 600euros[not including the bbs]luckily somebody told me to go with uncompany on the forum

Good thing you figured out cheaper alternatives before you sent the payment alright. I know a few people who weren't so lucky!

Fallschirmjager

the only thing i like about wolf is their website...i have used uncompany, be aware u may get a chance of a small customs charge because they use (well for me anyways) UPS. they are fast tho. and the current issue i am having with my aeg, they have been super helpful...

o1s1n

I was charged that UPS fee last October myself.Since then I've tried to avoid anywhere that uses them.

I have to say, Wolfarmouries do have a nice looking site. I generally use it if I want to look something up.

Harekin

They're also really good if you've loads of money and want something damn fast!

Mark_Sc

Dammit, my order with rsov will only leave for ireland tomorro...

kdouglas

mine too! doh! was hoping it would be here by friday, looks like itll be monday or maybe tuesday now

Mark_Sc

See you at HRTA next saturday then?

kdouglas

not sure about this coming saturday (20th) but ill definately be there the following week

Mark_Sc

what was your order?

kdouglas

couple of bits and pieces for myself/liamo and scope, m9 mags mainly, but i got a precision barrel for my p90 and one of those cool little remote control helicopters hehe

Just got it today. 3 working days, not bad.

Where did you order that adapter from? Airsoft-innovations? I'll be ordering one soon, might as well order from the same place as you since it ships so quickly.

I installed one on my aug amd it didn't make a difference:(

kdouglas

yea, heard they actually dont make a difference alright, but it was only £7.99 so figured id give it a try

kinda aiming to make my p90 as silent as possible and make the mp5 into a crazy monster thing with an insane rof

i wish!

Mark_Sc

Next time someones ordering off a site that sells Propane Adaptors wil they give me a shout?

kdouglas

most people tend to buy them from airsoft-innovations.com directly, airsoft atlanta and airsplat sell them too, but they are US based

o1s1n

I wonder could we get someone with a lathe to ream off a few dozen...

kdouglas

yea, for $30 they really are quite well built and worth it, trying to make one yourself would probably take longer than it takes to just ship one over

Mark_Sc

Does anyone know the story with WGC Shop?
They havent replied to any of my emails in a while
