Ah stop will ya lol, gunner gave me awfull trouble a while back. Havent even looked at the site since.
Much prefer buying Irish anyway, not that I'm all patriotic or anything its just with the small amount of serious Irish retailers out there You really do feel like sticking with a certain shop out of loyalty ... cough *eirsoft* chough.

Have to buy the dboys scar end of this month so the 1911 will have to wait.

hey masada, do you know if the iron sights on this GBB can be removed like the Marui one? Also a more important question, how does it perform in Irish temperatures? Thanks

Masada

yeah the iron sights are removable. I'm waiting for a new set of fibreoptic ones at the moment.
Its a pretty efficient pistol compared to most in my collection. being full metal you'd expect it to be a little greedy but it actually lasts more than the ammo load and always locks back on its last shot.

AR-Mad

masada, which shop did you get your GBB from?

Masada

www.rsov.com

May I also ask what was the shipping cost like and what courier did you use because RSOV has a note saying they don't deliver to Ireland.

As the note says, they only don't ship via certain couriers and

Customers for those locations please choose other shipping methods such as UPS, TNT or hong kong post office surface mail for order containing airsoft gun.

Still out of stock on RSOV, in stock here though.

Whats the surface finish like on this? I seen reviews on arnies saying its "poor" and rough. Do you think it could if be flatened and shined with a fine wet sand?

Masada

it could be but its not that type of finish, the way it is currently is the way its supposed to be. i think dont think it would look as good if it was more of a mirror finish.

Stercus Accidit

I wasn't a fan of the finish when I saw it first hand, its like a metalic paint with flecks in it, it was not a flat shiny metal, more a silvery paint.

I didn't like it anyway.

Masada

It's not silver paint?
I prefer the finish of this to my detonics to be honest., it won't scratch easily when it comes in contact with hard surfaces so it's far more suitable for skirmishing than the polished ones which are really only collectors pieces., I'm in the process of polishing a different one to a mirror finish but it'll never be used since it'll be fragile.,

Stercus Accidit

It looks a bit off though, like a paint.

I'd have to have a second look to make up my mind if I liked it, was a nice solid heavy piece though.

AR-Mad

got my MEU today, its a great GBB but I found a nasty surprise. the surprise was that the manual says the sights are not removable and even mentioned the dummy screws. I tried it and the rear sight could move left and right but the front sight was (i think) glued to the slide. Did this happen to you Masada and how did you remove the sights?

Captain Chaos

I stripped mine down this evening to try and tighten up the right safety but I seem to have made it worse. The amount of travel on the right side is worse now, the left side is still ok. Now the safety seems to catch when I try to disengage it. I can flick it on form either side fine but when I try to flick it down from the right side it springs back up but from the left it seems fine.

Is there better replacement safeties out there. One that don't a a tiny piece of soft silver metal joining the two catches together.

I seem to have made a meal of the mag release too, its now very very stiff. I've taken it out and put it back a few times but I seem to be doing something wrong.

hey guys, anyone know what barrel length these use?
