Hi fellow Chelmsfordian and 'WELCOME' to the AG BBS. Sorry to hear of your wowes, but as you intimate, within your story lies a moral. Hope you get it sorted, but yep, grey importing often comes at a price? Atb: G.
I have a few steel bb airpistols co2 mainly but have tried green gas with not much success the pistols can be made of plastic instead of metal and are just not durable enough I currently have a we browning hipower which seems ok for now .I purchased a tanaka browning hipower from redwolf airsoft in hongkong which I had to have the slide coated blue . This arrived after weeks stuck in customs having to pay another £50 duty on it only took 3 days to arrive in the uk from hongkong . The problem was they had dipped the slide in a coating inside and out and this caused the slide and the barrel to stick I managed to free it off eventually but whilst firing it part of the trigger mechanism inside the slide broke off so the trigger does not work. This is made of plastic as is most of the pistol apart from the real barrel which is made of brass.I contacted redsoft to resolve this but they just said send a video which I did twice no reply.I going to try an airsoft specialist in Romford to see if this can be repaired which I doubt. The moral of this story is don't be temped to buy from non eu sources I purchased it by paypal but they don't have a clause for faulty goods.The uk branch of redwolf airsoft do not do warranty work on pistols bought from hongkong.

It’s been a while since I striped my TM Glock but I’m pretty sure most of the moving parts are actually metal? I took off the original plastic slide and have two metal ones instead, one of which is stainless steel. I also bought a new frame for it in green so not much of it is original now!

I have made a claim through paypal on the above faulty pistol they keep saying send a video and I have done this twice.I took the pistol to airsoft zone in Romford who were very helpful they said they could remove the coating from the inside of the slide but would not be able to fix the trigger because tanaka spares are hard to obtain.I bought a replacement we browning hipower from wolf armouries in Camden .I originally wanted a we version but they were sold out everywhere I tried.
