Four Main Rules of Firearms Safety

Before handling an airsoft gun or real firearm, remember, and remind those around you about these rules.

  • Treat all guns as if they are loaded.
  • Never let the muzzle cover anything you are not willing to destroy.
  • Keep your finger off the trigger until your sights are on the target.
  • Be sure of your target and what is beyond it.

Please message the mods if something is broken or wrong.

Problems with Redwolf Airsoft preorder

Back in July, I preordered the LevAR 15 from Redwolf, and it had a preorder date of September 2024. I emailed them on the first, asking when about they would ship it. They said they didn't know. I asked when they would receive it at their office. They didn't know that either, citing production times and demand, but saying they would contact me when it got to their office. That was September 1st, now it's almost 3/4 of the way through the month and I haven't heard a peep from them. Should I ask for a refund, put more pressure on them to give me information, and both? Is this the first time something like this has happened with Redwolf Airsoft?

Compatibility question for AK Carbine AT-AK04

Hi guys, I would like to ask about Arctutus AK Carbine AT-AK04 about compatibility, what options of Magazines are best for it? Most likely when buying I will install Perun B3 with a clicker in it.

I also wanted to install a real Fab Defense GL-CORE CP stock on it, will it fit here? If not, are there any similar options?

Most likely I will order everything from Taiwangun

Curiosity On Riser Choice

Out of curiosity, why do some of you guys run 1 1/2” risers if you don’t wear a full mask? (Some up high enough that their chin barely touches the stock) The highest I’ll run personally is 1” and that’s enough to clear any accessories on my top rail and get a comfortable cheek weld. Even then, I’m always worried about height over bore.

BFA Steel Slide

Wobbling BFA Steel Slide

Hallo Guys,

does anybody have the GHK Glock 17 Gen 5 with the BFA Steel Slide Kit? Because a friend of mine ordered it from Samoon, and it’s wobbling like crazy, and now he’s in a heated argument with Samoon, I have the videos and it’s definitely a defect, when it wobbles like that. It would be awesome, if someone who also own the Steel slide and it works perfectly, could make a short video from the slide on the frame that it’s not wobbling heavily!

I thank you very much in advance!

Transportar replicas Airsoft desde Alemania a España

Hola a todos, estoy buscando información respecto a este asunto pero no encuentro nada parecido a mi caso. Solo el reglamento de armas de 4a categoria, que requiere que para el transporte de replicas haya un registro previo en el ayuntamiento.

En mi caso, resido actualmente en Alemania, pero voy a cambiar mi residencia a España (vuelvo a casa).

Aqui en Alemania he comprado replicas de airsoft, en tiendas homologadas, con su factura de compra a mi nombre, y con el control de armas F, que limita los julios, hasta aqui todo bien.

El tema es que voy a mudarme a España en coche, y quiero llevar las armas conmigo, por supuesto descargadas, sin ni siquiera municion en el coche, y en sus cajas originales; pero si la policia/guardia civilme hacen un control aleatorio y las encuentran, lo mas probable es que me las quiten y me multen; incluso siendo mi idea registrarlas en mi ayuntamiento cuando tenga la residencia legal en España y esté empadronado.

¿Algún consejo sobre como hacer esto para evitar problemas?, sabe alguien si puedo hacer algun tipo de registro previo, o como hacer para evitar que si me hacen un control y registran el coche las encuentren y me las quiten/multen.

Gracias de antemano.
