i'm all excited for you!

o1s1n · 08-11-2006 8:33pm

oh, just a note about this gun. when taking the foregrip off to put the battery in, make sure you follow these steps! (it can be a little tricky first time)

you saw the video i sent you of the guy showing the Famas, so i presume you've seen the safety switch in front of the trigger?

this switch has three settings.

1. safe. the switch is back and blocking the trigger.
2. live. the switch is pushed forward once so you can access the trigger.
3. you push the switch foreward once more and it goes into this setting. this releases the foregrip. make sure you do this before you try and take it off.

when putting the foregrip back on, make sure that the switch is back in position 1 again.

this took me absolutely ages to figure out! was nearly tearing my hair out at one point

O1s1n,
Hi, this is HawkerHunter, Im new to this site and have read some great stuff from you all. First, your looking for antimist. Theres a small tin called Bob Heath Visors Antifog. Its very good, though its a small tin and can be dear enough, around €5. Fits in the pocket perfect though. As for Airsoft play area, I might be able to help you out there. If your interested contact me.

Looks like you punks may be outa look, my gun comin in a week and a potential skirmish site in the works...!

I talk a good fight, don't i?

[--SC(+)PE--] · 09-11-2006 1:01am

Cant wait to see al thease AEg's cant help but think i probably should have got 1 rather than telling myself a 328fps boltaction would be a grand sniper rifle:(

o1s1n · 09-11-2006 1:02am

...

i would be just out of bbs wouldnt i?

heh

ah well. i'll just have to go Milisim on your asses. one shot,one kill.

[--SC(+)PE--] · 09-11-2006 1:06am

We realy need to organize a fairly big skirmish 4 all of us noobs ,id say it would be funny if it was most people's first time. lol 0isin running out of ammo at the firing range before the game starts and me collapsing under the wait of guns id be carrying ,id say a whole load of hillarities would ensue

o1s1n · 09-11-2006 1:08am

lol i know, it would be nice for all of us to be noobs together.

although, someone may be killed with all the accidental discharging of shots

if its well rubbed in it aint dangerous. Thats what we had 2 do when we went paintballing in Limerick and it did stop the fogging for a good long while.

Sports shops such as Lifestyle carry a bottle of sprey used with swim goggles to stop them from fogging up. Should work the same with airsoft goggles!!!! Only 3 or 4 euro I think.

MaxForce · 10-11-2006 12:51am

Just done a little comparison on prices between a UK retailer and EHobbey.

I am planning on getting amongst other things a TM SIG552

Price on UK Site £189stg = €280 = $360
Price on EHobbey £110stg = €164 = $211

Even though EHobbey will charge about $25 to ship it still comes in way cheaper then the UK site.

Or Fairy Liquid would do the same.

i think there should be a written rule somewhere that if you want something, and its on ehobby, buy it there. I've done a LOT of searching of the net and i have yet to come across anywhere that offers stuff at such a discount.

quoted for truth, I find the same realy BB's could be a possible exception however but for everything else their miles cheaper, Gong 2 get me a gun bag next which can hold both my rifle and shoty for 43$ delivered

o1s1n · 12-11-2006 5:04am

thats an excellent price. i must get some bags myself. sick of having to transport my rifles in their boxes.

i've found the best site for bbs is firesupportuk. 6000 excel for £12. there might be a better deal out there somewhere. but i have yet to come across it

[--SC(+)PE--] · 12-11-2006 4:09pm

Flecktarn are said to be great value for BB's to

Harekin · 12-11-2006 4:11pm

WolfArmouries own brand, buy 2 bottles get a third free.

o1s1n · 12-11-2006 5:03pm

wolf's two for the price of three still isnt as good value as if you buy firesupport 6000 bottles for 12 pounds. for 24 pounds you can get 24,000. it still works out about two pounds cheaper then wolf..

harekin just seems to be a wolf fanboy :P

[--SC(+)PE--] · 12-11-2006 5:11pm

its 5.50 sterling for 3700 excells on flecktarn which doesnt seem excellent are anything but their delivery costs are very cheap 7.50 for a parcel up to 6kg which is quite a few BB bags. Their delivery times wil be longer than other places but i still think its great.

o1s1n · 12-11-2006 8:54pm

that IS excellent pricing actually. thats £11 for 7400 opposed to firesupports £12 for 6000. and cheap postage too.

think ill be changing my custom to them instead! unless someone else can come up with another better deal....

just checked out their site. i think you got the postage wrong

"Non-mainland UK (Northern Ireland, Scottish Highlands, other non-mainland UK locations)" - 7.50 up to 6kg. that aint us man!

EU countries - the following flat rates apply:

France, Germany, Benelux, Denmark, Austria £7.50 per parcel under 800g*
£12.50 per parcel from 800g up to 2 kg*
£18.50 per parcel from 2kg up to 15kg

[--SC(+)PE--] · 12-11-2006 11:57pm

sorry bout that so its 12.50 delivery for 5 bags of bb's still the best methinks

o1s1n · 13-11-2006 12:00am

oh most deff. they are officially my newest bb provider

Harekin · 13-11-2006 3:42am

Its £12.50 delivery for 30,000bb's thats with no packaging whatsoever.

o1s1n · 13-11-2006 9:57pm

firesupports delivery is only a fiver for a 6000 bottle.

last time i bought from them, i got a 6000 bottle, silicone oil and green gas. that was only a fiver postage too.

Harekin · 14-11-2006 2:03am

Picked that up really wrong, sorry. Though it was 12.50 UP TO 800g.
