Temporary Retirement sale (56k beware)

    Further to returning from our Easter break, I am retiring from airsoft practice for the foreseeable future, with much regret. So all my gear is up FS, offers are welcome for any combination, all of the gear is portrayed in the pix below, and actual trades can be made cash in hand or Paypal, collection preferred or a meeting arranged. Positively NO posting for the AEG or the GBB. Requests for further photos or any questions are, as always, very welcome.

    AEG - Tokyo Marui SIG 552

    Stock, never opened, comes complete in box with all accessories (incl. TM speedloader) and real cap 43 rnds mag (with fake bullets). Never chronoed but standard TM from factory, so probably about 280 FPS. See all the upgrading gear below, mint/new/not yet installed.

    In excellent, unmarked condition, fires straight as an I without any misfeeds using a 9.6v 1400 mAh. 3 half-day skirmishes and about 2000 rnds through it.

    Asking €170, which includes
    * the AEG as described in box with mag, books, cleaning rod, TM speedloader, red barrel plug etc.
    * a custom 9.6v battery (cost €22) that's had 2 full charges from new (it's been taped in silver electrician's tape to look better through the holes in the handguard of the AEG)
    * a Tokyo Marui scope mount (cost €15), fitted after it was last skirmished, brand new (TMarui box for the scope mount will be supplied)

    SANY0042.jpg
    SANY0043.jpg

    GBB - KSC USP Compact
    Stock, never opened, comes complete in box with all accessories and standard 18 rnds mag. 2 half-day skirmishes and about 100 rnds through it (on green gas). Never chronoed but hits about as hard as the 552 at same distance, so probably about 280 FPS (again, on green). In excellent, unmarked condition, no leaks from the mag.

    Asking €70, which includes the GBB as described in its box, with instructions (a tech diagram for takedown, really), the security lock key, the second mag plate, the hop up adjusting tool, the mag loading tool and a generic holster with thumb break and velcro, ambidextrous R/L (black)

    SANY0051.jpg

    Next, what's left after the "stuff that makes you grin" ;)

    TM 552 accessories -
    * 1x MAG midcap 110 rnds €5
    * 2x Tokyo Marui hicaps 220 rnds (brand new and still boxed, taken out of their box for the group shot) €15 each

    Additional accessories, for upgrading SIG 552 or another AEG -
    * Systema 1J spring, new in box €5
    * Element 247mm precision barrel, new in box (box is a tube) €10
    * Element 7mm steel bushings, new in packet €5
    * Guarder steel shim set for Marui AEGs, new in packet €5

    Miscellaneous -
    * spare Speedloader €5
    * BOL intelligent Battery Charger (NiCD/NiMH) boxed with instructions €25
    * Bottle of 3-in-1 Silicon Oil (400 ml, at least 3/4 full) €5
    * Bottle of approx. 2,500 BBs (bought from paul at HRTA) €5
    * Large bottle of 'Ultrair' green gas (1000 ml), charged USP mag 5 times with it (bought from Eirsoft about 2 months ago) €10

    Tactical gear -
    * Guarder gunbag (black) (as new condition, bought from Flecktarn at Xmas), has
    main AEG pocket (see pix of SIG 552 for scale),
    second side pocket which will accomodate something MP5K-sized,
    and 3 front pockets, the leftmost (on the pix) is designed as a gun pocket €50
    * Bulle tacvest (black) including 2" BDU belt (brand new, never worn, bought from Flecktarn about 1 month ago) €30
    * spare 2" BDU belt (black) €7
    * 1-hole kevlar balaclava (dark grey, KingArms) €5
    * Kneepads (black) €15
    * G&P 1-point CQB bungee sling €10

    1 joule spring please, at asking.

    Sorry to hear you're quitting ambro.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,021 ✭✭✭Hivemind187


    I'll take the gun bag.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,984 ✭✭✭NakedDex


    I'll take the USP package.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,758 ✭✭✭Stercus Accidit

    Do you need the holster? If you already have a suitable one I'd like to ask ambro to split the holster/gbb package and I'll offer 10€, it can be sent with the spring.

    Of course that is up to you and Ambro.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,469 ✭✭✭weeder


    what kinda trades you looking for? im interested in the intelligent charger


  • Advertisement
  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,542 ✭✭✭kinkstr


    Hi Ambro, would you post that vest for 30?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,012 ✭✭✭✭Cuddlesworth


    I'll take the sig 552 and mags at asking.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,994 ✭✭✭ambro25


    Thanks all for the offers.

    OFF/T - rest assured, I have not 'given up on airsoft' and I fully intend to try and keep an oar in as regards where and how airsoft develops in Ireland (incl. Legal Liaising for the IAA), so long as I'm around. This is simply a matter of time availability at weekends over the foreseeable future, which will roughly translate as (probably no more than-) 1 skirmish per trimester or so :(

    Now, to firm up -

    Motosam - Systema 1J spring

    Hive - Gunbag

    NakedDex - USP incl holster (@ Motosam: not a dig at all :) but I'm trying to keep it as simple as possible, so do you mind sorting something with 'Dex afterwards instead?)

    Cuddlesworth - TM552 + 1 midcap and 2 hicaps

    Thanks all, please pm your preference re. how to conclude

    weeder - not looking for trades, thanks. This is a total divestment because leisure time has now come to a big fat zero, so no need for additional gubbins ;)

    kinkstr - a bit heavy for that, sorry. It was £24 without P&P from the UK, it's never been skirmished and is absolutely brand spanking new (basically just out of the nylon bag and onto a hanger), so how about an extra €5 for P&P? Forgot to add, about the tacvest: the shells holder on the left breast is velcroed on, so it's removable. The back of the vest includes three MOLLE-type fastening strips.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,758 ✭✭✭Stercus Accidit


    Fair enough


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,099 ✭✭✭Tommyboy71


    Hi Ambro. I will take the intelligent charger, bungee sling, boonie hat, speed loader all at asking.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,750 ✭✭✭romperstomper


    can you clear up exactly whats NOT sold? thanks


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 40,291 ✭✭✭✭Gatling


    il offer the asking price on the shims and bushings


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,542 ✭✭✭kinkstr


    Mmmm, what are the chances of you throwing the balaclava and the vest in the post for 35?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,994 ✭✭✭ambro25


    can you clear up exactly whats NOT sold? thanks

    I'll do that tonight, I'm behind a proxy during the day, which makes Boards slower than drying paint.

    Gatling - as with previous posters, pm me re. how to conclude this

    kinkstr - slim to none, I'm afraid, as P&P for tacvest is very likely to be more than €5, considering bulk and weight (so I'm already taking the hit on the asking for the tacvest, before I'd be giving the balaclava away for free!)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 213 ✭✭MarkLmk


    Whats left by now?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 74 ✭✭ben2k7

    ben2k7, the USP is already sale agreed with NakedDex, for the asking no less, so in my book (which is reasonably experienced, where Boards/Adverts sales and respective Charters are concerned ;)) that voids your offer on the rest.

    So Jelly 292 gets first dibs on the oil / BBs / gas - and that's a deal btw, pm me re. meet.

    kinkstr - deal, pm me so I've got a record of your offer + how you want to conclude.

    For clarity's sake, to date the following deals are agreed:

    Motosam - Systema 1J spring, €5
    Gatling - shims + bushings, €10
    Hive - Gunbag, €50
    NakedDex - USP incl holster, €80 (posted)
    Cuddlesworth - TM552, 1 midcap and 2 hicaps, €205 (collected)
    Tommyboy71 - intelligent charger, bungee sling, boonie hat, speed loader, €55 (posted)
    Kinkstr - tacvest + balaclava, €40 (posted)
    Jelly 292 - oil/BBs/green gas, €20 (meet)
    vtec - Element 247mm precision barrel €10

    MarkLmk and anyone else, providing all the current deals above complete, this is what's left:

    * spare 2" BDU belt (black) €7
    * Kneepads (black) €15
    * Bolle X800 replica protection mask €10
    * French Army-issue Central Europe BDU trousers, size 38/small, excellent condition €15

    dunno where the queue starts for the USPc, but can I join at the end of it if any preceeding deals fall through?

    No queue for the USPc, NakedDex has offerred asking and (from experience) he's unlikely not to come through. On the very remote off chance, though, then it's between you and ben2k7 as (technically) neither of you has actually made an offer yet.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,043 ✭✭✭Wossack


    thats cool, thought it unlikely alright - but Ill offer asking on that slim/remote/unlikely chance anywho ;)

    gl with the rest of the sale either way


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 797 ✭✭✭Spetzcong


    Ok I'm not sure if this has already been claimed but I'll take the Boonie off ya at asking if it hasn't.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,984 ✭✭✭NakedDex


    Whoa, I hope the USP gets the same treatment, I'm going away on Friday morning to do this student film in Donegal and if I have it before I go it'll probably end up being used by one of the characters.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,984 ✭✭✭NakedDex


    Arrived about 5 minutes ago, which is perfect since I'm leaving for Donegal in a few hours! The Irish postal service suddenly seems to be good? What the hell?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,994 ✭✭✭ambro25


    ...bit of bribing down at my local PO works wonders :D

    Would also entertain swaps for PC games or Xbox 1 games (driving/platform stuff, for my 4 yr old), or USB thumb drives (256/512) :cool:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 954 ✭✭✭MacAonghusa
