I was trawling the black Friday deals on Patrolbase website last night, and spotted this in their boneyard section. Having owned one some years ago, I thought .... "why not". .... so hit the button. Well, after receiving an email from Patrolbase, followed by a phone call from me ... It would appear that they do not accept membership of The Sportsmans Association as a valid defense. Therefore I have asked for and received a refund. They must be missing out on a few sales then. Pete.

Yes, my mistake.... (censored) 6mm. I am looking forward to the project just like the one I had before. The inner barrel on these is only half length ( recognise a trend here) , but I have several spare 6mm inner barrels, so will be fitting one of those to improve. accuracy and fps. The faux wood stocks tend to have seam lines, so these will be sanded smooth, then I will repaint the stock a more realistic shade...with grain effect. I may then improve the power , as on my previous example, by making a new , more efficient piston head... it is basically a spring piston airgun. OR...... I could just let Gunman64 do it for me, as Andy does like his projects..... lol Only joking mate. For the money I could not let it pass now could I. ??

You have to admit Andy, that G&G Kar 98 is a thing of beauty.... that wood stock is gorgeous. This one incoming isn`t in the same league, but then again it isn`t ยฃ400 ....!!!

So, being peed off at not being able to buy this and having built myself up to fettling it. only to be let down.... in a moment of weakness I thought fffff sod it.! So I have now paid full price for a new one from Defcon airsoft ( great people). Should be here by Monday latest. Needless to say a review and fettling will be revealed, although with it being that season it may be in the new year before the fettling begins. Pete.
