    I believe it is common practice when repainting a gbb pistol slide to finish with a matt transparent spray that helps reduce wear of the painted surface. Am I right? If so could somebody kindly direct me to a suitable product? Would it be worthwhile to give a brand new WE Glock slide a blast of this spray to reduce wear from holster carry? Like the finish on so many pistols, the one on the WE Glocks looks like it would blow off in a high wind. I've heard the expensive licensed Umarex versions may not be much better.

    I remember hearing somewhere that you should lock back the slide before inserting a new mag. Came as a bit of a surprise. Has anyone else heard of this? I assume this advice has something to do with protecting the mag lips or nozzle. But is it really necessary? If you remove a mag which still has bbs in it, and then want to replace it, pulling back the slide will only shove another bb into the chamber, so you'll have two bbs going down the barrel. Surely it's OK to put a full mag into an empty gun and then cock the slide. Or am I wrong?

  7. I've heard that Lego rubber tires are a good fit. Apparently they are available in large, medium and small sizes. The TM recoil rod is 7mm in diameter. Call it 8mm. Which of the Lego tires is the right sort of size. I need one with 7-8mm inner diameter. I don't want to short stroke my Hicapa. The recoil spring is not applying enough pressure so the recoil rod rattles when I move the gun. Just want to tighten things up and stop the rattle. One tire and a thin steel washer will probably do it. Two tires at most.

  9. So, I was trying to chrono my p09 earlier and noticed that 1) it was shooting very low power compared to when I used it last weekend (brand new) and 2) when empty the slide would not lock back. I figured perhaps this is because after me using it I had not cleaned the barrel properly (causing low power) nor lubed it properly (causing slide to not come back enough to lock as I had already considered not enough gas to kick it back enough so filled the mag to near full and it still wouldn't work) Anyway, took it apart and gave it full clean in the barrel and wipe down of all the lube and re-lubed and then went to put it back together and now the slide …

    Yet another whats wrong thread ... I have an Extended mag that i've acquired for a couple of beers, but it has an issue where, it either just vents its gas on first shot or fires a couple of shots then just vents it all out, Mostly the first. 0 issues with my standard mags which have had 100s of rounds through them, so i'm not instinctively thinking its the hammer, yet. Already replaced the output valve (and O-rings) with a new one as i figured, it was probably that to start with and for the sake of a few £ it's worth a shot but no joy. I use Green gas in all my magazines, WE 18c gen3, Guns lubricated and the only modificat…

    Have these improved over time, or are they always a bugger to fit? Somebody on a forum said their Glock series were now much better and close to a drop in, but I am sceptical about that, and can find nothing on the web to confirm it..

    Hello everyone, yes I am alive. I figured its about time to build another ridiculous pistol, and I was looking to go full auto this time. Ive had fun with G18s in the past, and thought, why not. While there arent as many options out there for aftermarket slides for the G18 compared to the G17, I was wondering if anyone knew of one that could take an optic like a RMR or something similar. Dont care where it comes from - US, UK, Asia, etc. I refuse to go with the bottom rail to top rail adapter thingy, as I run real holsters for my guns. Thoughts? Spaz

    Hey guy! I bought a new CZ P-09 but I'm having huge problems with it. When I try to shoot, it shoots like an automatic gun, super fast and loses all gas. Initially I suspected it was the gas, I changed it to a stronger one suggested by the store and it worked for 3 mags +/-, but now it's happening the same with every gas.... Any suggestions? Thanks

    Hi guys. I need some help from a more experienced set of players. Just received my mp7a1 and I've tried to install an npas today however the screws that hold in the bolt/nozzle stripped immediately and basically fucked it. I'm planning on drilling them out but can someone tell me the exact length, width and such of these screws so I can replace them with hopefully something better Cheers boys and girls

  17. For those who may stumble on this later; I never found out what the problem was, but I fixed the last problem, after getting it firing consistently, by adding a washer on the recoil guide rod, basically short stroking it by a millimetre or so but not enough to affect lockback. Edit: Definately the nozzle catching on something since installing the guarder bbu housing. Either it's coming off the piston cap and sticking at the back, or the front, possibly the bit that strips the BBs off the mag, is sticking in the chamber or mag. Not sure what to do about it though. Edit 2: I've ruled out the piston cap and barrel or mag... It seems unl…

  18. Hi guys and girls. I have been wondering for ages ! How the hell does this thing work. I own a A&K SVD with that Co2 gimmick that replaces a manual spring action. but for the life of me I can not see how pulling the trigger actuates that system. Its a mystery to me. You screw in a co2 bulb put it in the gun with that light positioning spring behind it. And for some reason after manually cycling ,it fires . But i can not see what activates the little cylinder there is nothing i can do to manually make it expel co2 and there seems to be nothing in the action ? God I would love to know what is happening to make this o…
