Gun picture thread

So I have a how it started Vs how is it going post. 

I recently picked up a sportsline is (thanks @HuttArmouries) so, being a shiny new toy I loaded it up with attachments and took it to a game. Crono was, disappointing coming in lower than expected. No drama I thought and for tacticool reasons I left them on for the first game. Soon discovered that is a lot of extra weight! So at the first break it all comes off in exchange for the hand rail irons. And I folded the stock...

But all is good, once I have figured out how my nonworking on comes apart (well, finding a small enough hex key) get it back together and working, this one will also come apart and I shall "trouble shoot" 

Had a lot of fun with it and I'm even considering taking the stock off all together

Where it all started in the mid 90's, there were more but I surrendered them all to the police after the Dunblane massacre.

& Where my collection is now, replicas, props & airsoft (mainly AEG's) with room for more. Forgot I have a G36, Scar & a Glock 17 packed up for a skirmish in early June. I've also got manequins ktted out with Uniform & Pattern 58 webbing (styled as how I wore it in the TA in the early 90's), one with PLCE etc from the 2000's, one with DDPM from the 2010's & a growing collection of webbing from pattern 58 to modern day including bergens.

5x ICS M4 owner here. Older CS4-based ICS guns have M90/95 springs and downgraded motors (to prevent over-spin) for the UK market. They were also produced in an era when many sites operated a 328fps limit so sub-300fps was the 'standard' out of the box for them. 

A few of mine needed spring replacements (I use XT M100 or M105 from @ak2m4 depending on barrel length) and replacement of the compression seals. A doddle with the split gearbox - there's a reason I have 5.

I would also suggest replacing the Piston and Piston head at the same time - full metal rack is the way to go with these guns due to AoE - which is a 'thing' with ICS and the stock plastic pistons - AoE correction is trickier compared to a 'normal' GB due to the split design. I just throw in a full-metal rack 14 tooth piston and call it done.

It would also be a good idea to pickup a few tappet plates from @HuttArmouries as they can be a bit weak on the older guns - although i haven't killed one yet. 

Going stock-less of a lot of fun, my CXP-15 was run like that for over a year. You can get a QD receiver end cap from Fire-Support that replaces the stock extension on the receiver (ICS-MA-86).
