" Mancraft – a small company in Poland (www.mancraft.pl) founded by two graduates of Wroclaw University of Technology. We are producing airsoft parts -mostly for airsoft sniper rifles. We are working hard on conversion kit for AEG. That will be available in coming months. The company was founded around 2012. At first we started producing sniper kits for SVD rifles. Next was L96 and VSR standard (for almost all brands and types). In 2013 we decided to start our own regulators line: „normal” and „with manometer”. They have infinitely variable pressure from zero to 15bar. We are also producing our own CO2 cartridges for 12g co2 capsules. For now our main product is – SDiK. It's Sniper Drop in Kit - a set of components which allows converting a spring rifle into gas-powered rifle. It is cheap and very effective method to upgrade. The entire structure was designed from the ground up - as evidenced by the patent issued. The whole is based on a simple and effective system of gas supply that is reliable and durable. With proper construction and materials, the mechanism does not burden other components of a gun - they may be standard (e.g., the trigger assembly, cylinder etc). Rifle can be reloaded with one finger - overcharging is very smooth. By using an appropriate regulator it is possible to obtain very stable (+ /-3fps), satisfactory fps. Using Mancraft regulator provides to continuous adjustment velocity from zero to maximum for the replica (depending on the length of the inner barrel). Installation of conversion is simple. Usually does not require any modifications. Test results for 12g CO2 cartridge: Rifle: L96 with Prometheus 550mm barrel. Temperature: 15*C SDiK can be 100% used during the winter. Low temperatures are not problem. Example values for L96 (Mb-08 Well rifle), 590mm length Edgi barrel, modified hop up chamber: As always: We do not prefer such high results, but negligible scattering and very easy to reload – this is what we were looking for. Briefly about the upcoming conversion PDiK and EPDiK: PDiK – semi-auto conversion kit for AEG rifles. No electronics, no batteries – just pneumatics. EPDiK – full-auto/burst/semi-auto - fully configurable conversion kit on solenoid. Both of them will be matching to V2 replicas in first. Next will be all other types of gearboxes: for Ak, P90, M249 etc. V2 version: Fully modular, adjustable, semi-auto conversion kit. You will be able to quick exchange your body (put conversion kit in other replica) with unscrewing any screw. Stock, Pistol grip, magazine lock – they all will be with the replica all the time. More information soon. Please follow us on: www.mancraft.pl or www.facebook.com/mancraftpl " What do you think about that? If this is wrong place for such thing, or it's inappropriate - sorry for that.

You leap through the air at people... The cleaners at your site must get tired of mopping up all the piss.

I like to run a pistol only up to about 20 metres after that I feel more comfortable with my rifle. My personal preference is to unclip my rifle and leave it to relax on a wall while I run in. If I was at a CQB site where all the engagements were going to be less than 20 metres I'd happily run with just a pistol, but I'd want to go from 3 to 5 mags. Not that I would use them most likely, I just like to have a bit more ammo than I generally use to hand.

just got this WE 416 GBB

Here's all the guns I actually use (well...the AKs first day out tomorrow so... ) From the top: A&K M249 G&G SCAR-L with Dytac tracer and DBoys EGLM CYMA 045A with lower rail set and a B&T tracer TM (well sort of, more like the Franken-M4 or maybe Triggers Assault Rifle now) based M4 Pistols SOCOM Gear M9A1 Desert Combat with Nextorch WL10 TM MEU

Military 1st is your friend...

This has been done loads before but I thought it would be a nice little video to go with a channel me and friend started a little while ago... But here it is! Slow motion Airsoft Gas Blowback:

Your company logo should be Chuck Norris riding a tiger whilst punching a shark in the face (drinking the tears of a thousand sharks out of a mug made of the skull of a bear in the other hand). That would be manly enough for 'Mancraft' - you could also produce a mod for minecraft with similar content. Other than that, this looks awesome. I don't have a sniper rifle, and would never really switch over to gas rifles full stop, but I want a Manometer just because mine would be off the charts.

Loving the scar l lozart

Looks gorgeous.

Need to work on that trigger reset. With a bit of practice I suspect you could end up taking the trigger back to the reset point without taking your finger all the way off the trigger as you appear to be doing now, which should increase your rate of fire quite a bit and is the path to getting double taps.

I think I'm ready now for pistol only cqb http://www.airsoft-forums.co.uk/index.php/topic/7377-the-what-have-you-just-bought-thread/page-175#entry159603

I'm rather impressed... That's my entire days loadout for tomorrow... The gas and ammo stays at base and half the bumbag is my glasses, hat, gloves and the 3 mags that will be on my person. So... Lightweight! The only thing missing is the serpa and mag pouches... Which are on my trousers already. Not bad, I don't think.

Well I was thinking of getting an electric pistol but concerned about fps of Cyma's So I sorted of created my very own secondary machine pistol so to speak but with high cap mag: bought the testicle mag - a tiny bit of work but nothing major - runs well - F*ck yeah !!!! needs new batteries to keep up but as a pistol - well it does weigh a little bit - lol gotta refit stubby stock back on her but was just messing around - next door must love me soz for small pic - can't be ar$ed to upload it to here n there n link n stuff just for my silly stuff I am having trouble finding a holster for this pistol though ???

Combat machine, combat machine, combat machine..... Seriously the best starting gun for price, maintenance and performance. I Love them.

Here are my babies! G&G 416 body with E&C internals. The G36c is unknown so I call it a JG clone because like JG G36c they never let you down. My lovely side arm KJW P226, and finally the beast killing machine 2000 my JG Krebs AK hybrid thing that broke when I dropped it and its been sitting in a box for 10 months in pieces.

Hello new guy here from Canada. Here is my loadout currently it may change in the near future to a Osprey MK4 Or maybe I'll just get lazy and add a battle belt... we will seen. Oh it's a MODI JPC in CB and before some says AOR1 or Marpat Desert it's Desert Cadpat. Also sorry for the bad quality of the photos I'm on vacation and this is the best I have.

As far as I remember - and it's been years I've taken apart a KA M4 - the pins are locked, so you can't push them all the way through, but they stop right before falling out. They are retained by a tiny spring loaded ball that is held in place by a tiny allen screw. To take out the gearbox you must remove the rear pin. Maybe this retaining mechanism is screwed in too tight so it won't allow the rear pin to move. Look for a tiny hole on the other side as the picture near and perpendicular to the pin.

stumped....... spring looks in position - so it ain't that come out of alignment can' think wtf could be doing this - it should just be a pin so it shouldn't be catching - and it just a round bar pin..... maybe ask somebody like samurai who knows a thing or two about gearbox ???

http://www.proairsoftsupplies.co.uk/cgi-bin/sh000001.pl?WD=carbine&PN=cm16_carbine_transparent.html#SID=239 battery + charger - smart charger which prevents overcharging/cooking battery - both together £25 (probably nunchuck 8.4v battery) you get 1k bb's i think - 450 mag, it ain't glow in dark orange (could paint it but that is changing a Imitation Firearm IF - RIF Realistic one in eyes of law) save rest of money and see how you go - no real need for pistol - may wanna spend on extra mag or loadout kit - full face protection must be worn for under 18's at most sites don't chance it - get a good one for your precious eyes shame that gun had a great starter kit for £20 more - about £35 value but lately always out of stock there is NO OTHER GUN to match it for price - ok no rails but trust me you won't need much else if you can't hit something with that then you may as well just use a nerf gun forget ultra zoom scope, torche, or laser - get out there and start shooting

Yup they can "gift" it to you

some cqb sites actually have a 328fps or 330fps limit - 100m/sec coz cqb is just that less than 20ft engagement usually and any decent site SHOULD chrono guns..... no point having a powerful gun you can't use, and fps is just a basic starting guide your site might be 350 but if you visit another indoor cqb it maybe a tad too hot some decent 300fps can pi$$ all over badly setup 350fps Tokyo Marui is a prime example

Was it a tan G&G and you sprayed it black using something like fishnet stockings ??? I just tore my favourite pair..... WWWWOOPPPPSSSSS - wrong forum, thought I was on another site - lol just kidding, ignore me - most people do or just plain cross the street to avoid me Jeez - she didn't half give you a funny look who - that bird that just walked past ??? No - Mother Nature

Xcortech 3200 from Helmetworld.

could you imagine a game like that where you literally had to throw BBs at people.

They'll be down the back of the sofa with all the biros you've ever bought!

Just because a pistol will shoot to 35m doesn't mean its effective to 40 yards, with well placed, timed, aimed shots its likely you can hit a man shaped target at that distance, but under pressure and fire is a different situation. The 100mm barrel in pistols just don't give ranged stability to the BB, and all the inconsistencies in your shooting will be amplified. A pistol is great for up to 20m indoors and in kill house settings, but in open fields and woodland with wind and trees, you will find yourself frustrated and outgunned. I have been there, and done that. one thing you could do is put a longer barrel in your pistol and hide it in a silencer, the barrel gives a bit of extra stability, but your still limited to your ability to carry and aim a pistol, and the ammo it can carry. Its also incredibly tiring to hold a pistol in the ready position all day. A rifle with a stock, should always be ready, or half a second from ready at least. you cant do that with a pistol for 6 hours. Where do you play and how long for? in reality most games (excluding milsim) rarely last 2 hours most considerably less, 50 min, and 10 min rest at safe zone seems to be fairly standard, yes? so why carry enough kit to re take kabul? leave as much in the safe zone as you can, take only what you need. you can always come back if your short. - radio pouch, which houses spare batteries, the radio, my torch and some pyro... You don't need batteries, if a battery dies, you die, Return to safe zone. Raido, if you need it, on a belt loop or in a pocket. Torch ..... what use is a torch in a pouch? do you play in the dark? do you need a torch? if you do, attach it to the gun, more usable, you wont lose it and you don't have to carry it. - mag pouch for 4 mags. Fast Mags, £16 for 2 on ebay, they can go directly on any standard belt safely and securely without any other support or rigs. They are rigid, reliable and never fail. Hi caps are noisy, but give a lot of fire power, I am liking three 150rd midcaps, two on the hip one on the clip. - admin pouch for tools, gun battery, etc. lose it, patches are for willy waving in the safe zone not for the field. Use a pocket for maps. - 3ltr water pack. 3 litres? 3 litres? if your only out for an hour why do you need so much water? lose it, well keep it in the safe zone. if you need to drink on the field take a smaller 300ml evian bottle in a leg pocket. - bum bag with 4k rounds, pyro, sweat rags and wallet, etc. Again 4k rounds, I only take 4k to a game and expect to take half of that home, a hicap full in a zippy bag, in your right thigh is all you need to carry on the field. leave the rest in the safe zone. pyro and wallet is a tricky one, personally I leave my wallet and phone in the car, and carry small amounts of cash, I don't trust airsofters, but if they steal £5 I'm not going to cry. Phones, if I have it I'm more likely to use it than talk to new people, its a social game, be social. Pyro is your biggest issue it seems, how much do you use in a game?, you could get a utility pouch on your belt, but I would be tempted to load it all into my right thigh pocket. - 2 pistol mag pouches good call. I have been working on an effective lightweight loadout and I think I'm almost sorted for what works for me. Boots, lightweight DMP trousers, very light and roomy, standard canvas belt, simple surplus, ex issue, wicking t shirt, you can but them for £5, baseball cap or digger hat, possibly a shemagh if you want to protect your neck and face. Gear wise, M4 with mag, 1 point sling, Pistol in drop leg on right thigh, fast mag with two midcaps on left hip. Pyro and spare speed loader, in right thigh pocket, radio in right hip pocket, leaving the left thigh open as a dump pouch. Simples and light. Obviously that's all just my personal opinion and musings on the point, feel free to ignore it all. its a case of trial and error until you find a combination of kit that gives you the right amount of flexibility and comfort.

Baofeng 888s and restrict yourself to low power mode and pmr446 channels (still technically naughty). £17 from ebay and takes a standard kenwood connection.

To counter the tacticool, back to basics. This is my Chinese Type 56 complete with pigsticker bayonet.
