[QUOTE=deathmog;42035579]So someone wants to sell me a WA 1911 with a spare metal slide and two mags and a hard case for $90 shipped.
Here's a picture:
[IMG]http://gyazo.com/72547e011a1e38af12b617c3cdb24ef6.png[/IMG]
The spare slide in the picture is metal, and has what I believe is Kimber trades.
He says it shoots nice and far but has problems shooting in colder weather (duh).
And the frame and it's original slide is plastic, go or no go?[/QUOTE]
Unless your home has an endless flood of nickles rising from your basement, stick away from WA anything.
Any replacement parts will essentially require you to buy an entire new pistol, and 2-3 magazines will cost you as much as another pistol to begin with.
Also, you'd want to do hours of research to make sure you're getting the right kind of WA, because they decided it would be brilliant to make several systems and generations of guns with minimal designation as to which gun is which type. Considering some of these systems flat out suck, it will basically turn into a very expensive obsession.

How about you pay off the money you owe me first before you go off buying fucking guns.
Would you shut the fuck up about that already? I don't even get paid until next week so it's not like I can buy anything right this second anyway. Quit bothering me.

You had money to pay me at HVA.
Which I told you was going for my spare set of keys + car towing.
Which it did, several weeks ago.
Maybe you shouldn't have sold somebody a fake belt claiming it to be a legit M56 belt.
You have spent more than enough money when you should have been paying back the people you owe.
You shouldn't even consider buying any airshit until you pay your dues.
I did not claim that it was a legitimate belt, nor did I claim that it was a fake belt I simply called it an M56 belt when I offered it to him. And before you say it was *scamming*!!!1!*, when I bought it several years ago I was essentially gear-illiterate. I actually bought it at the surplus store you and I went to, when I asked for an M56 belt that was the one they gave me. After a few months I bought another one as a spare and put the one I sold him into my drawer and it didn't see the light of day until we started doing Vietnam.
I had no idea that it was a chinese belt.
It functions fine, and the only thing actually wrong with it is that one of the grommets was missing, which I sent a picture of to david before he bought it.
[QUOTE]"You have spent more than enough money when you should have been paying back the people you owe."[/QUOTE]
I'm sorry but getting to work and back and having a car that I can use plus paying for insurance is a little bit more of a priority than for a belt that still functions fine, not to mention since david got a legitimate M56 belt for free.
I think you guys are bothering me far too much and being annoying as fuck about it for far too little. I'd rather buy lunch for us all or something.
I'll window shop and consider and plan what I want to buy when I damn well please. I'm not going to become a recluse and not look around and plan because I apparently owe someone ten dollars (even though I specifically remember NOT saying that i'd pay him back, you two essentially put those words into my mouth.)
Before we get too offtopic, based on Notrabies suggestion I think it wouldn't be worth buying the 1911. Especially since I could get another brand that functions better and would be the same price - I asked the guy further and he said that it has a problem shooting sometimes for whatever reason. The only reason I considered buying it and asking here about it was because it's a WA and I know jack shit about WA.

So we'll disregard it's the fact that it's an unusable flimsy piece of shit that doesn't have the right number of strap retainer clamp slide things, and doesn't stay adjusted.

But instead you always talk about buying airsoft shit or going to this concert or that concert or doing this and that with "insert -x- "attractive female"". I don't want fucking lunch, I want a refund for what you said you'd refund me for.

[/QUOTE]
That's funny because I remember specifically bringing it up to you when I first started to assemble my M1956 webbing because I said "are the belts supposed to be this flimsy? All my stuff folds over and the belt doesn't stay adjusted." To which you said you weren't sure. I then said "Oh, on the end o fone of the strap things it says "Made in China". This isn't even a real belt." To which you said "Oh shit, I knew it was different than mine.", so I said "Well, let me try to figure out of I can use it, hold on." because I wouldn't be going to HVA soon and didn't want to pay to ship it back because I specifically remember not wanting to pay half of what the refund would be on shipping the belt back to you. I figured out it wouldn't work because it's an abysmal piece of shit and I don't recall you sending pictures to me, so unless you can find the pictures you sent me I'll stick to that conviction. I told you, and I specifically remember saying; "Yeah, it's not going to work.. is there any way you can like PayPal me my $10 back and I'll get the belt back to you the next time I go to HVA?" To which you agreed, but once you got paid because you had already spend the money on a game or something. I agreed and forgot about it for a while and the next time I brought it up you pulled the dishonest horseshit of "I NEVER SAID THAT!!!11!!"
Before anyone says "hurdurudruduhurtur take it to pms!!!", There's a point in this. Deathmog is established here; it goes to show that just about anyone can turn out to be a massive asshole when it favors them.
the problem with it isn't just the fact that a grommet is missing, it is the fact that it is an unauthentic piece of gear when David was actually doing a completely authentic kit.
It has escalated beyond the point of money. It is more respect than anything.
I have sold you:
-JG G36c(working but with a hop-up issue)- $20
-Replica Mich2000 with full velcro and pads- $25
-G&P M16a1, 7 short mags, 3300MaH battery, sling, and STANAG style speed loader-$375
I have given you plenty of amazing deals and yet you still continue to be a massive fuck about paying back your friends for a completely misleading deal. You have acknowledged that the belt itself was Chinese and still refused to refund Kath which is a completely shitty business practice.
As for the entire "Oh i had to get my car prepared" yeah there is that, but there is also the Fucking Samsung Galaxy S4 you put money down on as well as your concert tickets.
You guys need to cut the shit already. Jesus christ. Deathmog didn't know it wasn't authentic, to be fair neither would I.
[i]It's ten fucking dollars. Calm your shit.[/i]
Deal with it, christ.

CodeMonkey: Comes to play DayZ with us, tazers both of us, gets told he would get killed if he doesn't stop, gets shot as warning after doing it again, does it again, gets killed, has a hissyfit and bans us from mumble and won't talk to us.
I haven't bought my new phone yet, and my tickets were free.
If you have been in the mumble you would have known that.
I didn't say "Oh shit I knew it was different than mine" because I had not even bought my vertical weave belt yet at that point, I was still using my [i]other[/i] horizontal weave belt, which was bought from the same place and is identical to the one I sold you.
When you mentioned the flimsy part, I said "I don't know, but I do recall reading that the vertical weave belts are supposed to be stiffer." I've used the belt and it's twin for not just fully loaded ALICE webbing, but my M56 webbing as well.
And for the record I was actually planning on giving david the ten dollars next week; When I got the [B]three[/B] paychecks that I haven't received because of a switch of payroll companies and other miscellaneous bullshit.

GG maybe you should've said something sooner.
And Danny you should cut the shit on your end because I don't owe you any money. I'm going to pay Kath back and to be honest whatever money David owes you is between you and him and should be none of my business, and the money I owe david should be none of your business.

Yeah and I'm not going to lie about it and say that I didn't say those things.
I said those things to make you guys shut the fuck up because you were being annoying twats about it, bringing the subject up every thirty seconds.
[editline]31st August 2013[/editline]
And don't try to pull the "oh he's trying to save face" shit either.
Its on his end because [I]I made it to be on his end too[/I]. We, unlike you aren't the "best off economically out of the group" (which is complete horseshit because you NEVER STOP bitching about how poor you are, or are going to be), I have no money and need $10 to pay Stabby back from selling me a Tornado Grenade for $20 because he's an [I]honest [/I] selling and sold me a Thunder B he didn't know doesn't work, and compensated by selling me a grenade that retails for $100 and goes used for $75 for 1/4 that, so I just told you to pay him directly because that's where it's going. Stabby needs money too, and I can't pay him until you pay me.
Nonetheless, it should still be none of his business, it should still stay between you and I.
That's the equivalent of a carpenter yelling and threatening the bank because the bank won't give the homeowner who hired the carpenter a loan for his house.

I'm going to stop because there should even be a need for this on FP because it's a conversation we've already had and it has no point here, not to mention it's derailing the thread.

Yep, because it's totally not a coincidence that that's when I get paid, I mean if you really think that I'm just trying to save face here and now I can just be a dick and not pay you ever to prove a point.
When you guys started being annoying twats about it in recent times (AKA right when I had to empty my bank account for my car) the plan on my end was to just paypal it to you when I got paid, say nothing about it, and go on about my day. But then me getting paid turned into three weeks later.
To be honest it seems to me that you're blowing this up even more on here to put on a show for the rest of FP or something to help stroke your ego.
I can guarantee the rest of FP doesn't give two shits about any of our internal conversations and shit.
stop
deathmog's right
no one cares about your internal arguments except for you and you're just pointlessly clogging up the forum like everyone else who gets into petty arguments that nobody else gives a shit about
anyway

OK, this is the QUESTIONS thread. Take it to deli life or some shit and quit bothering us people who want answers but get drowned una sea of fighting.
Are there any good airsoft sites in North West England?
Manchester, Blackpool, southport, Preston and Liverpool kind of area

[QUOTE=Kath;42037013]What questions were drowned out?[/QUOTE]
I asked a question before but i don't know whether that was ignored because the people who can answer it haven't seen it or because of the argument. I'll just ask it again some other time or decide myself :v:
oh that RBA one?
cardfan (i think) and vandel got theirs for $25+$25 shipping from airsoft-club but iirc vandy's ripped after a while
The only ones i can easily find through google are rather a lot more expensive than i thought they were, i forgot all about airsoft-club.
I guess the only part that remains is just how comfortable/good they are.

I believe I am the resident authority on Western Arms pistols. For $90 I would definitely go for it regardless of which system it is. Keeping in mind that between all 3 SCW systems the frames and slides are interchangeable. And the Magna are interchangeable with the SCW 1s. As far as the actual gun goes, they are exceptionally well made and do perform admirably. The issue is with the magazines, they require more maintenance than a TM/clone mag does to keep running well. Since it comes with a metal slide he really doesn't need anything at all to have it run for all eternity, the internals are built like tanks
