Quick Questions & Simple Answers.

if it is for a milsim, then just load the max BBs allowed in each mag, if only 30 allowed then just work out how many you need to add to get 30 BBs to exit the mag... you'd not get any rattles either in that way.

Na, it's not. I just don't like magazine rattle.

Either way, I messaged them anyway in case there's some way I can half load them without it making a huge noise all the time, but I'm a little doubtful because of the way hicraps work. Can source them from that French site for about 13 quid each (if I'm including postage) if I need to, but the postage just seemed steep.

I saw those Battleaxe ones too, but again wanted to try and find midcaps if possible.

The original Battleaxe shorty mags I ordered a few years ago were awesome, very little rattle and fed perfectly for all 190 BBs, the ones I linked look cheaper and feed badly so be warey of fakes

Are pressure switch replacements generic?, 

I have an Element 300 scout light but accidentally pulled the cable out of the pad while leaning on it....

seems you can pull the cable out of the back of the light, like a 'plug' and also screw the end off, ideally plug and play

I don't have the answer but I'm pretty sure I have a spare, I'll have a look on the morning and if it's there you're welcome to have it 

 

[djben9]

Thanks for that 

 

[M_P]

Thanks for that 

Sorry mate, had a look, I could've sworn I had one but cant find with any of my stuff so I guess not

 

[djben9]

ok, no problem. I'll have a search online etc and see if its worth getting a new complete set or the lead from somewhere

thanks again for the offer / help etc

Element and Night Evolution both make spare leads for these as they are mostly crap and are the most common point of failure! Original Surefire ones will also work if you want to spend the money.

Cheers Loz, i'll see if google can help track one down

I assume its a standard fitting then?

Certainly seems to be. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Night-Evolution-Replacement-Remote-Pressure-Pad-Switch-Surefire-XM-NE-04022-/292140128168?hash=item4404e897a8

Or this one which is rail mounted and has a contant ON option http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Night-Evolution-Remote-Pressure-Pad-Switch-Constant-ON-Off-Surefire-XM-/302318286647?hash=item466392f737

Or this one which comes with a whole new tailcap http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Night-Evolution-Remote-Switch-Assembly-Tail-Cap-ScoutLights-NE-04042-BK-/292118801610?hash=item4403a32cca

I've bought loads from Apextac. Shipping isn't usually too slow on small parts. I have the rail mounted one and it works OK but the round constant on/off can be a bit stiff to use. They sell the switch without the tail cap.

Had a quick look online and so far places out of stock

my mag release clip departed today mid shootout!!!! managed to get everything but the pin back

Barring the usual differences in build tolerances that should work fine. Your receiver is still basically an M4....

 

[djben9]

cheers, thought that might be the case but best to ask

only need the pin, cant believe i carried all parts back to the car...then lost it! haha

When you say "pin" which bit exactly do you mean?

 

[djben9]

sorry, there seems to be 4 parts, the L type catch, spring, fixing lug for other side and what i thought was a pin when i picked it up mid battle but it seems to be a screw now from this pic so my mistake (little google research!)  :lol: :lol:

might pop to a local hardware shop as they may have something in stock
