Ha, if you can get to it 
Yeah it’s a wood lathe… the tool rest is a dead giveaway.
I must have been off my rocker when I got rid of the old Colchester Bantam centre lathe I used up at Glass House Mountains. But it wasn’t mine, belonged to my deceased brother-in-law, so really belonged to his widow, we sold it to help her get some money behind her. It was the same model as this one.
If I was cashed up I would have bought it myself, was a little ripper. Do anything on it provided it wasn’t too big. 14mm CCW screwcutting all day long.

mm I really want a lathe and mill but never got the spare pesos 
just spied this
who else had brought these in?
Yep…
previous thread on here…
This was the Triggertoy import saga… sent, empty box arrived , resent…impounded SYD…released on appeals…!!
All that , for a 160-180 fps unit.
Very solid, Not easily pulled apart, @friendlyfire and i figured not worth the effort, for very minimal returns to be had…
Unless @RokSolid wants to have a go…?
They are advertising 210-220 fps…maybe mine was a dud, and would benefit from some TLC…
X-force must’ve been updating the website today because when I went to browse the website this arvo it was loading slow as dog shit, I was beginning to worry they’d been hacked again
i may be able to help you in this case … will DM

From memory, mine was around $200, from triggertoy…
They have since gone the way of the dodo…
Decent value though, and they did honour their warranty, and re send, after my first one was pinched.
I suspect the “light fingers”, occurred in the postal line in Oz.
The postal “parcel weight “ sticker, ex HK, said 1.3kgs.
So, it was there when the first package left…
I mean I can’t say I wouldn’t have done the same if I worked for auspost and I knew it was a rare blaster (at the time, locally at least)
Ok I can because I’m not a thief, but I know the temptation sure as shit would’ve been there

During my time at AustPost I can’t recall ever hearing of a postie thst got sacked because of theft.
The casuals that get put on as parcel sorters during the Christmas rush are a whole different animal though. 
What time of year did you order it @BME
If it was a busy holiday season and they’d put on extra staff it could’ve been a newbie worker pushing the boundaries…
Did you file a complaint with auspost and if so what was the outcome?
ive been r4ping AliExpress for all manor of things so it might be me holding your order up @BME
edit: oh … i see yours was a historical post. Apoligies to anyone else whose orders are delayed though 
I honestly can’t remember…
It was awhile ago now…
Back when it was straightforward, to get stuff ex HK….
Maybe the Syd ABF inspector, liked what they saw…?!
I didn’t post a complaint….very little chance, of any meaningful outcome….
“Something, happened, somewhere, sometime, by someone…!! That is all.”
At least the 2nd one got through…
Definitely a shame it happened but definitely good the second one made it through safely
Just saw this at xforce…
I still think the Cyma version is the go…
Never heard of Tiang Gong…
Replacement gearboxes, and parts available…
As well as a known, high quality build.
Price is cheaper , on this…
Ak for the win…!!
At least Vas is bringing in new stuff… at the affordable price point…
Yeah, I’d be going for the CYMA too over that just because of the pedigree. 
With everything being much of a muchness it really comes down to the internals and I have a lot of love for CYMA in that regard.
Curious to see what Jin Ming come out with next… if the quality of their solid MP5K is anything to go by, it should be interesting.

Man…
i shouldn’t look at overseas websites…
@DocBob would be crying…
ZB26… all wood and metal, on sale…
Very tempting, to buy it, have it stripped, airsoft stuff out, and send the empty shell here…
Room on the next Ak shipping container.?.?
