      Is anyone here a machinist or does anyone know a machinist they'd recommend? Have tried LCs but have been getting no response.

      OKAY, back again about systema ptw stuff.
      I'm trying to make one of the long m16's with the grenade launcher. My issue is I know systema ptw guns use real steel proportions, so I'm worried if I buy an AEG style front end (not the outer barrel just the launcher and top hand guard part) just to get the grenade launcher and made by E&C see attached I'm just wondering if the fittings to get the nade launcher and hand guard/heat sheild would be out of spec to fit a real steel D-ring and front gas block

      Okay so I think I made the deal of a lifetime thanks to me and the guy I got this from not having a clue what we had on our hands.
       
      So. I just grabbed what I thought was an airsoft m16a2 with no batter and only one mag. But i wanted a metal bodied carry handle m16 thing to make a retro build. But the mags looked weird, and I had to adjust the hop with a little grub screw in the mag well.
       
      Turns out I just bought a Systema ptw m16a2 for a steal.. Anyone know where I can get mags for it in the uk? Otherwise, I'm going to have to order them from Hong Kong and the UK retailers I looked at only have the modern style mags at £30 a pop. 

      Why are these system PTW things so expensive? The version I got looks to retail for $1700 American?

    • It's great to see this being observed. I always say that 2 minutes is important, it's 2 minutes the fallen will never have and for 1 Sunday a year 2 minutes isn't asking much from people. 
    • Not played for a few weeks due to general life busyness so really enjoyed stretching the legs at Apocalypse yesterday.    It was quieter than usual with around 100-120 players but weather was foggy and cold to start and it was Remembrance Sunday so a few regulars and Marshalls had other duties.  2 min silence at the game brief which was very respectful.    Took the G3 DMR, MP5 and SIG 226 and had issues from the start.   Trigger on the G3 was intermittent following its MOSFET upgrade, apparently the optical trigger sticker doesn't like the shiny white LCT plastic sector switch plate, one day I will play a full game with this gun and bring it home working but its not this day! Switched to the trusty MP5, unusually for me I took the electric drum mag.  I usually carry a few mid caps but I'm trying to decide if I need a LMG so I thought I would play a limited support gunner role (2 second bursts, etc etc) Drum worked fine for the first hour then stopped winding.  I changed the batteries and messed around but I couldn't get it working so ran the 2x mid caps I found in the bottom of my bag for the rest of the day.  Second hand £50 WE Sig 226 shot perfectly. First game was fall back and we were defending, started in the village which we held for a long time.  I parked in the centre of the village with a couple of mates and we held our building for what felt like a long time.  I stayed low and in the shadows and held the attacking team back from my doorway while the guys covered the windows.  Eventually they found a sight line we couldn't cover and we had a grenade come through the window.  After the walk back to spawn we held the edge of the village but got pushed back to no mans land.   Lost no mans land quite quickly as there's limited cover and we were snipper/DMR picked off.  Had a magical LMG moment when 5 guys tried to flank us to the right and I took them all down on full auto.  I missed the final fall back to stockade as the drum mag stopped feeding but heard it was an epic fight with the attacking team winning in the last minute.    A few players on our team were a bit salty about loosing, I don't think my cosplay soldiers with toy guns enthusiasm helped.     Second game was rescue the downed pilot, he was our 'hostage' to start and we got ripped apart.  The reds snipping team did an epic job of picking us off.  I had limited ammo 200 ish rounds in the MP5 and 60/70 in my pistol so hid up and played a stealthy game. I thought I did well until they called the end of game and 6 red players stood up right on top of me, I recon I had another 2/3 minutes before they filled me full of lead or plastic?    After a second defeat half our team up and left, to be fair we were spanked in the second game but hey at least I was having fun.    Third game started with a team rebalance,  I think we were down to about 15 players at this point vs 30 or so reds.  Given the limited numbers we went back to village for a CQB domination game.  I tried to get back to the building from the first game but was to slow and we held for a while but were pushed back, it was fast and frantic with lots of up close and personal kills, a brilliant run from one of the reds with only his Pit Viper cleared our building out.  When we got back from re spawn we were grenade killed quickly and that was that.    Forth game was a re run of the third with the winning team being the one with their flag in the oil drum.  We got their first and held for a while but eventually got pushed back.  When it got to around 4pm it was getting dark and teams were down to around 10 on each side so they called it.    Personally had a great day, lots of contact and a few different game styles which I really enjoyed.  I am annoyed by the gun gremlins and will get to the point where I take the G3 to a game and have it work all day.  
    • I'm having an issue with my hi-capa where it doesn't shoot with every shot. Some shots the hammer only half engages and the pistol doesn't shoot, and I have to cock the hammer manually back to reset it and fire again; it usually will shoot after I do that, only for the issue to happen again after a few shots.   Basically, which part would be causing this sort of issue? Trigger units are the part of guns that I do not understand anywhere near as well as the rest of the gun, so I'm at a bit of a loss as to what is actually causing this weird issue. My gut says it's going to be one of the sears in the trigger unit or something to do with the hammer itself, but I have no idea...
