      WE Open Bolt SCAR H

      By Hawkeye450 · Posted

      Hi all,   I’m a relatively experienced airsofter & have been playing with AEGs for the past 18 years… Recently I’ve dipped my toe into the GBBR world & come into possession of a WE open bolt SCAR H.   This thing is an absolute beast & the recoil is mega.    Just wondering what the verdict is on these things? Like, what’s the life expectancy of the stock parts… is there anything I should consider upgrading before even playing with it?    Any advice ref parts & reliable UK based retailers/stockists for said parts would be great.   Thanks in advance!!   Picture is just for attention…

      Tech prices

      By MrTea · Posted

      When I didn't know what I was doing, tech wise (I still don't know what I'm doing for everything else), I went to TheCageAirsoft for them to work on my MP5. To install a bunch of parts, including wiring a MOSFET, they charged me £80 labour. This was Jan 2023 so not sure if their prices have changed since. The lads there are great and have always tried to help me out if I had any questions about random stuff. Can't recommend them enough.

      Tech prices

      If you're looking for experiences, then it might be a good shout to check out the Recommend a Tech threads   Otherwise, I would say it depends on your gun, what you want from it, your budget and how long you wanna wait The more experienced/popular techs will no doubt have the longest waiting times and higher cost per hour charge. If it's for your ICS then Fire-support are the UK ICS specialists and tend to have all the little obscure parts for them - their site says "Labour fee is calculated on a job to job basis, but a service is approximately 30-40." I used them briefly when I bought my ICS Mp5 on release and had a motor issue. They were pretty quick, with fast/friendly comms and sorted the issue - no problems   People will have their go-to techs for things like HPA, GBBR, Tokyo Marui as those particular places will have a name for doing (hopefully) great work with them You should look to get anything minor like general shimming, changing a hop, changing/upgrading a piston done whilst booked for a service to get better value for your money/time Shimming and the mere installation of parts like that are generally included in that pricing, just not the actual cost of the parts supplied by the tech, (as you'd expect) Most techs will allow you to provide parts yourself, but will not offer any guarentee on any parts they did not advise/supply So Service+Parts+Return Postage is usually the general "quote". -IF- they offer a flat charge for a Service, then average is usually between £30-50 - depending on what they deem is part of that service. some have different versions with different prices like "basic service" or "full service" If they don't offer a flat charge for a "Service", then yeah it's whatever their hourly rate is and how long it takes them
