I also showed him examples of what would be more appropriate quality for different price ranges...and what made up that quality/price. Spent about 2 hours chatting and Q&A. I didn't end up charging him a dime...and I think that he ended up getting his money back (not my business).

Tys

Gee, I wonder who that was?

haha, was that you?

lol maybe...

It's okay Tys, It's a legitimate and perfect example to use. As it was my first AEG purchase, I in no way feel ashamed or anything like that about our meeting. I do however need to thank you for helping me out, and not charging me a dime.

It is something to watch out for, and strengthens the fact that it's best to do a local pickup if possible, and bring the gun to a gun doc just to have it checked out. An inexperienced buyer can make several mistakes trying to diagnose problems, and in most cases it's worth it to bring the weapon to someone who knows their stuff. Case in point: A friend of mine recently bought an AEG from the classifieds, and it worked perfectly... until he decided to disassemble it. Upon putting it together, the weapon wouldn't fire. However, a quick check on youtube revealed the problem, and it was a very simple fix. My point is that experience always wins, and any weapon you buy (brand new clearsoft or otherwise) has a chance at having something wrong with it, though in most cases it's something small. So again, I can't stress this enough, bringing your first AEG to a gun doc is a very wise choice.

Yeah it was my buddy phantastik, I had it at my house for a bit and played around with it. Except for the fact that it's an AK, it's great :P

Haha, yeah. I was sad to part with her, but she was a work horse that one haha. Tyson did an amazing job!

Yeah it's really nice, my only gripe is the woodkit doesn't fit 100% because it's not actually an AK47, but rather an AK105.. but you can't win em all. Also the fact that it wasn't deans was

but hey that's me being picky I know he loves it to death
