What would you love to see back in stock on UK shelves?

Not stuff that's discontinued, but stuff that still exists but never seems to be in UK stores anymore?

I know there's so much niche stuff that people understandably don't want sat on a shelf for years....but I kinda like a lot of it.

I've already managed to bring back new Realsword products, but I'm talking specific models.

For example, many of you have asked for a KTW 1873...so I've listened and managed to get several brand new ones on the way! Check the website for details 🙂

Any particular models of Tanaka Revolvers? How about some KSC pistols? (Yeah...I'd love a USP match too...

Alternatively, what stuff would you love from Japan but at lower costs? The TM P320, or maybe the 3 MP5 NGRS models 👀

Let me know!

The Viva Arms Bren shipment will be sorted, finalised and shipped this week, there's just 2 remaining on this current shipment, so if you want one in this consignment, now is your very last chance!

There's also an interested projecting going on in the background with my good friends at Nemesis Tactical Ltd to add a very nice feature currently missing on the Brens that will make them much more realistic...more to follow on that soon 👀

Just over 24 hours remaining on the Stellar T2 Compact Thermal Competition.

From now until close, there's a minimum of _double_ ticket bundles available for you to take advantage of. It's looking like this one could sell out, so don't miss your chance 👀

Best of luck to everyone as always! 🤞

The Type 56 series is often referred to as the "Golden Era" of Chinese AKs, and parts and accessories for them fetch fair sums for AK collectors.

If an original Type 56 isn't for you...you can modify yours with a whole host of AKM pattern accessories, and with absolutely everything, including the receiver size being a 1:1 on the Realsword , you can customise yours with whatever you want (besides aftermarket stocks, as they never existed for the Type 56!)

Here's an example of a customised Type 56-2, brought into the 21st Century. Not that there's anything wrong with being stuck in the 80s 😉

If you want the toughest AEG AK on the market, there's simply no other choice than Realsword.

A full range of Type 56s, midcaps and hicaps all available on the website 👌

PS - Take a look on the comps page if you haven't recently 👀

Airsoft has changed a lot over the years, and as manufacturing costs continue to increase, the quality of products often decreases to try and offset some of those costs.

"I wish it was made of steel".

"My receiver snapped when I fell on it".

At the end of the day these are toys, and as much as we'd like the same toughness as the real equivalent, manufacturing setup costs, the market etc usually prohibit that.

There's some exceptions though, and those old enough to know, know that, especially where AEGs are concerned, there's nothing built to be as durable to, or as dimensionally accurate to a Realsword , so much so that furniture and accessories are a 1:1 fit.

They even designed and built their gearboxes to be proprietary just to ensure the externals were dimensionally correct. (Don't worry, they're tough as nails too).

They're like a Toyota Hilux. Not the prettiest out there, not equipped with the best tech (no mosfet in 2026!), but they are nigh indestructible, and go on forever.

Don't just take my word for it, take a look for yourself.

Not everything makes it to the website.

Some things do though...

Sometimes I leave things on there incase someone wants another and I will try and source one.

In some cases, sometimes things come up that I can't say no to, as there could be a very, very long period of time before I even find another.

Photo very much related.

Before M32s, there was something far prettier, far cooler....

So the Viva Arms Bren...

I know this has been pushed back again and again, and for that I apologise. Viva Arms have said they'll give me an update next week as to the shipping status, pre-shipment testing has been conducted in the final week of March, so with all being good, shipments should be just about to commence (I sincerely hope...)

Thank you for your patience during this time, I appreciate some of you have been waiting since last summer for this, I believe we are on the cusp of getting these here....

With that being said, this week will be the last week to secure yours. After that, it will be a first-come, first-serve basis for the remaining items.

What would you like to see next? This summer we should see some more of the SKS 🤙

Well it's been a while since I've done a competition, and it's time to do another.

To celebrate the launch of another thermal on the website, I'm raffling the most compact thermal optic on the market, for less than the price of a sausage roll 🫡

Small enough to fit on a g***k, easily rechargeable via USB-C and built to handle the recoil of recoil handguns, it's a great addition to your optic lineup.

Early bird ticket bundles available for a limited time.

Only 3 weeks for this comp, short and snappy!

As always, best of luck to those who enter 🤞

Note: This time maybe I'll actually start taking use of the comp page on the website 🤦‍♂️

Your chance to win the most compact thermal optic on the market! New to the market, the Stellar T2 Mini Thermal is the most compact thermal optic available. Weighing in at just 112g, this optic comes ready to mount on any standard size picatinny rail, and measuring only 43mm x 41mm x 52mm, it looks....

A beautiful, beautiful Gen 1 SVD with glossy furniture has just arrived, courtesy of Realsword .

This is probably one of my favourite AEG platforms bar none, it is built, as they say "like a brick sh*thouse".

Before everyone gets excited, this model is out of production otherwise you best believe they'd be on the site. If the Type 56s do well, we could see another full scale production run in the future of this, as well as something entirely new (well, PLA focused).

What would you prefer to see? Another DMR platform like the mysterious QBU-88 prototype? Or a new venture for Realsword, something like a Type 88? QJB-201?
