cant rat anyone out at AP cos they dont chrono thats a big failure on the person doing the chrono by only measuring on fps and would be a site i would avoid

Err, no. If someone's gun chronos at 310fps and they state that they have 0.25s in their mag, but are actually running 0.30s, it is very likely that they are going to get away with it at most sites, because very few sites check the power in addition to the velocity. I use that example because I saw someone do it at a site; I ratted him out.

Not yet but it will be this year from what i know !

Old one going spare? 👀

To be honest I've been looking at the TM m40a5 springer and the tac41. Looks great. I don't mind it being spring powered as long as I can upgrade to get the best accuracy I can with a high fps and that can shoot fairly heavy bbs. Of course if I need to upgrade inner barrels, hop ups etc i will. So yeah can you suggest a springer ? Reliability accuracy and power is obviously a must. And aftermarket parts accessibility is important. Cheers. Ryan

Thank you. I did reach out directly to LCT first and was advised to go thought their official UK stockist, who is now states that the items I have ordered have now been returned to LCT by UK customs due to incorrect labelling by LCT. Sadly I don't think I have much choice in the matter as I need the parts to get my lct pkp running. Shame about the optics. I remember the LCT AK modularization campaign/show case they ran awhile ago, that had an advertisement wallpaper that showed a number of different ak optics. However, maybe that was more to demonstrate what real steel optics could fit on the LCT side rail plate rather than optics they where considering making.

Silly me 🤦‍♂️, of course you have🤣

But I already have an XM177

I prefer the first picture 😜

Me too.

Gas bolt actions and DMRs are pretty much all I use and I think they're fantastic, but I can't recommend them as a first platform as they're finicky and require a lot of tweaking. You will not get the same consistency as a well set up spring or HPA setup (which really ruffles some peoples feathers for some reason), though you can get them consistent enough and the accuracy is just as good. However, every time you use them, you have to spend a bit of time dialling the power in as they're temperature dependent. Also, you can't chase the power limit (which again, really ruffles some peoples feathers) because if you chrono at 2.3J in the morning, you'll be pushing 2.6J by lunch on a warm day. All that said, if you really want a gas bolt action, the Tanaka m700 platform is the best. Pre-ban Tanaka rifles are the best, as it's pretty easy to adjust the power on them, but the clone KJW rifles are just as good, just a bit of a pain to adjust the power by comparison. They definitely need upgrades, regardless of which model you get though. Generally need to swap out the hop unit as the Tanaka unit is an ancient design and while the KJW unit takes VSR rubbers, it's a crap hop unit. Barrel, hop rubber and nub also need swapping out, and on some models you need to think about outer barrel as well, because the standard one houses a 630mm inner which is way too much and joule creeps uncontrollably. You also need to swap out the nozzle as they're way too short on the Tanaka rifles and a good 4mm(ish) short on the KJW, but no airsoft manufacturers make them, so you need to get them custom machined. For DMRs there are a lot more options that will do the job. I built mine on a TM MWS platform as a mk12 mod1 and it slaps, but I know people who have used various VFC rifles to build DMRs to great success, like the m110 or G28, but I can't tell you about those as I have no experience. A lot of work getting the rifles shooting well, and it's still not quite as good as a well-tuned tac41 or VSR as the power fluctuations will be higher due to how gas works and there's nothing you can do about that. However, they are more than accurate enough, and the power fluctuations aren't that awful, just some people get their knickers in a twist if their bolt action rifles aren't doing 3fps consistency. I have 3 VSRs (2x spring, 1x HPA), an SRS and an MTW, all pretty obsessively tuned, yet I still use my m700s, kar98s and my MWSs over them all.

honestly for £53 buy that one

I'm glad your old self is back.

You pay taxes at checkout on Aliexpress.

how would they know if they have a hot gun if no one Chronos .... not chrono anyone is lazy and opens up the site to massive safety risk and consequences ..... your example is a classic of bad practice. but you can tell when people like that lie because of the chrono reading

How it looked when it arrived & how it looks now... My version of a Colt 9mm SMG Not a lot of modifications required TBH, birdcage muzzle device to replace the XM177 one, barrel cut down & tidied up, 9mm mag insert with paddle release cut down, 3D gas deflector from twistedfate & the ejector cover cut down. Everything else is stock OTB.

I was not aware of that thank you very much

This thing? Also there's a 3D printing thread HERE. If you can find the 3D print file (if it exists), you can ask if one of the people on there would print it for you.

Hi guys, Anyone able to recommend any reputable providers for 3d printed external parts for aegs? I really want the muzzle device from Neil Blomkamps Elysium for one of my AKs but being skint requires me to choose between Airsoft or a 3d printer if my own. Thanks for any help in advance.
