the abbey gasses (Maintenance gas included) use UPL instead of silicone, which is better for storage as it stays dissolved in the gas preventing the gas from drying out and drawing the lubricant from your seals. adding silicone certainly helps by delaying the problem, but if you end up leaving your mags for more than a couple of weeks, maintenance gas might well save you having to break them down and fix your seals again. by the way, to add to my original list: Learn to break down the mags and fix your seals. its not usually a hard process, the G5 can be done by: -Empty the mags of gas -check the mag is empty of gas -triple check the mag has no gas in it -unscrew both inlet and knocker valves, drop them in silicone and leave them overnight -remove the magazine baseplate -find the bastard follower spring that flew off and the little nub that holds it straight -unscrew the two metal caps with a massive allen key -remove the o-rings from each cap and submerse them in the silicone, or just drop the whole thing in. -re-assemble and add gas immediately

i just finished my g5 after my skirmish. DAILY MAINTENANCE (after every skirmish) -empty magazines of gas -field strip -clean bolt track and rail of all silicone oil -clean barrel thoroughly -apply silicone oil to bolt carrier track -re-assemble -fill magazines with just a little bit of Abbey Maintenance gas -use one mag to put a couple of dry fires through and spread a little lubricant through the internals if using propane, the cleaning steps are more important due to the impurities found in usual stove propane, and the last two steps are also much more important. if youre using an Abbey product as propellant, you probably dont need to empty them to fill with maintenance gas, just add a little maintenance stuff in with the other stuff. once or twice a year, give the rifle a full strip, check things like the hop bucking, trigger and bolt movement for signs of wear or damage and replace parts as necessary (you can get just about any part from Milspec Solutions or Socom Tactical). if you notice that your FPS has dropped since you bought it, remove the bolt carrier and disassemble it to get the nozzle out. give the two o-ring seals a good lubing (best to leave them submersed in silicone oil overnight) and reinstall them. while youre at it, use your finger to spread some silicone oil all round the cylinder the nozzle sits in. once youve put everything back together you should find its about 50fps hotter than brand new, but this falls back to normal once you put a few mags through it, so do some garden plinking or something until the FPS comes back into site limits.

It's a piece of plastic made by crye. It won't be flimsy.

It's been a long week.

And a few more for good measure. Trying to pick a thumbnail to use for my review video.

what is this working out at ??? http://gunfire.pl/product-eng-1152205869-FC-SMG-Submachine-Gun-Replica.html £75 ???? NO - must resist the urge to buy yet more guns ffs

hi their anyone got any info on krytac aegs not heard much about them but the specs seem to be okay. any help appreciated thanks

Blackhawk serpa on their drop loop Or imi setup of similar fashion

Search for a Flyye OTV or Bulle OTV, These things are extremely warm, trust me I used one for a year. You wont keep the neck or Deltoid protectors on for long either as they are annoying and restrictive.

Update: Thanks to all your help, I have bought the Krytac Trident CRB and kitting it up with new scope and angled foregrip

Two choices. ICS M4 Starter Pack - £150 http://www.fire-support.co.uk/product/ics-m4a1-short-stock-clear-starter-pack-aeg-airsoft-gun-set G&G Combat Machine - £117.95 (Rifle only) http://www.zerooneairsoft.com/product_info.php?cPath=268_318_403_494&products_id=5645 Both very reliable rifles out of the box. With the G&G you'll need to get it two toned (free from Zero One) whereas the clear bodied ICS doesn't. The ICS starter pack is a pretty good deal as it gives you the gun, two mags, battery, charger and face protection in one go. You can also get the combat machine in starter packs but I haven't found a link to it.

I'm sure the magpul ones work well but a knock off for £3 will very probably break about as quickly as any other cheap piece of plastic.

No. You can buy a gun from TWG but without a valid defence Customs would seize it and destroy it when it enters the country. Do your three games, get your UKARA and then buy the gun.

No but fairly recent, guessing about 3 or 4 issues back, they were supposedly doing a review and an article on upgrading it but I missed it. Might be worth checking the AI website or Facebook page

Hi dude thanks for your comment really helpful! Would like to know more check underneath your first comment for my reply. I didn't know the gun broke into 3 parts this has spooked me could you please take a pic of the gun disassembled (you don't have to) beacuse the trigger guard is the spook. How does it connect to the gun? This is the only photo I'd really like to see of the gun tbh mate.

The AY Spectre has been around a few months now, the FPS is quoted only around 260-280fps from the "AY V3 Custom gearbox". That and the fact it has no folding stock option puts me off at the moment,also the fire selector functions as the safety, with the de-cocking lever on the opposite side being the semi/full auto selector which may take some getting used too. Takes a 7.4v LiPo or 8.4v NiMh battery in the foregrip (mini Tamiya plug), and made of Polymer rather than ABS allegedly. Good link with more pics here: http://airsoft.tiger111hk.com/p27337/1/product_info.html Airsoft International carried a review a couple of months back apparently but I missed it unfortunately.

I use 7.4 LiPos from componentshop.co.uk and for mags MAG plastic midcaps work really well.

No why?

Personally, and this is personally, I don't take hits from two tones as they don't look Operator enough.

Well MB series are good along with the VSR series
