commenting on overpriced sales ads is literally the point of this thread...

Being furloughed, and the lockdown stopping play thought I'd tick off something I've wanted to do for ages. Painted the MK18, and even the MK46! I'm now the proud owner of two very salty looking RIF's wanting to create a worn 'in country look' Painting a RIF is of course very subjective, but I hope you all like. This was the first time I've ever sprayed one of my collection, and it was a lot of fun!

Corrected for ya 😉

Happy Star Wars day. May the 4th be with you

The more I see from buck eejits like these last 2 the more I am in favour of a minimum post count or rating to be able to buy or sell on here.....

I find this an excellent thread for a noob like myself - I wouldn’t buy without consulting someone more knowledgeable than myself anyhow but I like the fact that it calls out the optimistic sellers. Forum police of sorts - quite humorous also.

Got a care package in the mail from Poland today so I am finally able to "finish" my Strike Industries build . Was only missing the takedown pins, buffer tube and adjustable scope mount, really happy with how the build turned out!

Its a Vision King 2.5-10x32 - Very impressed with the quality, clarify and features

Nope youve got it. I visited a Military museum near Dover that had a SA80 on the wall donated from their local guard or something - it also had a GripPod but it was on backwards. Now I have a running gag about Brits putting them on backwards...

A tdc imo is mandatory on bolt actions and should be the standard. Bolt actions need all the consistency they can get and as of now there is nothing that gives the same consistent pressure as a tdc. If you think about it, most chambers have some kind leverage and particularly on VSRs the arm tends to apply uneven pressure (often to the right side, resulting in the famous VSR hooks). With a tdc this doesn't happen as it's literally a screw that applies pressure directly where the tensioner (and hop rubber patch) is. Adjusting the hop on the fly can be useful in some situations (e.g. A particularly long shot) but the external lever can be knocked off unintentionally (I had it happen quite a few times when I had the vsr). Get a 60° rubber tops, you'll never wear it out as much as with an AEG and certainly helps during the colder months. Plus a softer rubber will require less pressure which in turn results in less stress to the hop components.

Congratulations on attaching your GripPod correctly 😉

That’s the only response you needed to make, but thanks for laughs

TM M4 MWS arrived today adn i think I'm in love 😍

The argument that's older than time itself, "are you a retailer, no, then it ain't feckin new" 😂

New pistol :

Me , or him? 😂

inner barrel is 215mm long I also found a youtube video from DE and it looks like there will be a tan version released as well. Also of interest is DE state that if you put a better motor inside the binary firing will be even faster.

First post - but I lurk around quite a few forums and have been sniping at my local site for a while, currently rocking a fully PDI'd up VSR Gspec. Here's a bit of what I'd change - Barrel spacers - Don't bother with the barrel spacers, you can make your own just by layering masking tape, I've had the same bits of tape in my VSR for the best part of 3-4 years now and alongside a properly drilled out outer barrel (to fit a 430mm on a gspec you'll have to open the hole a bit more) you'll suffer from no barrel wobble at all. With the money saved from those I'd go for a Maple Leaf crazy jet/PDI/Edgi barrel over the action army one, AA have some great parts but their barrels aren't really the best. Hop rubber - Another thing to note is the hop rubber hardness, you can probably afford to drop to 60 degree (I've just replaced my 60 I've been using for the past year/two years with a 50 a few weeks ago). We're in colder climates here in the UK so don't have to have such a hard rubber. Also swap out the decepticon for a Maple Leaf MR, these are the newest bucking rocking a different patch and supposedly work tremendously with the panthera nub - I can't say first hand how well this works as I haven't been able to test yet (thanks to covid obviously) but ASF and the mk23 groups both agree the rubber is very good consistency/accuracy wise (I've also paired this with a panthera nub). Hop unit - Any particular reason you want to keep the external adjustment? I get that it's easier in the heat of a skirmish to use that, but honestly once your hop is set with an actionarmy unit you won't need to change it until you disassemble for maintenance. With modification you can get the AA hop unit to have external adjustment anyway. It would work out cheaper to keep the TM unit though I will admit.

I now have that rarest of things..... A g&g f2000 that actually fires semi auto.....

Ah realised this should have probably gone in the single action area. Apologies!

Achievement unlocked - Badass looking painted guns. Nice work @RMDavis

Start of another week, keep your chins up guys. I know I'm starting to struggle a bit but I'm OK with that.

XT60's are arguably better connectors, Deans are fine IF you get proper ones not the cheap copies. XT60's are easier to solder and cheaper to buy though.

Glad you went Prommy, for I while there I thought you were going to go Crazy. Some like them but in testing I did not. Before you get super excited and throw all your packaging away; roll the barrel on a flat surface and check it's true/straight. Also inspect the crown/barrel exit for any little burrs. 95% of the time Prommy are bang on but sometimes there's the odd lemon

Olight have a sale starting on 08th May.

Put a dab of low strength Loctite on it before installing and wait 24hrs before adjusting. Should stop it rattling lose in future.

Well after 6 months of digging through my basement I finally found that pesky valve for my Tag-015 that went flying across the room when I disassembled it to repair a leak. As such I was finally able to move forward on my SSG PP-19-01 and get it finished. I have two optics to decide on - a Kobra and a PK-06, both real from Russia. One will go on my real KR-9 (civi version of the Vityaz, which is what the PP-19-01 is based on), while the other will go on the 19. Unfortunately both are at work in my KR-9's box, so itll be fall before I get ahold of either one again as work has been cancelled through till the end of August... Also my SR-25, just because Ive never posted it here.

After seeing Hutts post, I jumped in tonight and bought a G3 from Taiwan Gun 👍

I'm so bored I just bought the manliest carry handle ever for my tournament gun

Issues of a GBBR!?!! There is no difference in accuracy between the two, in actual fact the inner barrel is 250mm 10" on both variants. Pick whichever floats your boat. Food for thought later down the line; a 10" and a suppressor makes for a quiet gun. All you need is; Nuprol gas or propane and an adapter. Some decent BBs, Devil blaster or Geoff's if your flush lol in 0.28g A genuine TM speed loader, 2-3 mags is fine. They are the best gun OOTB period.

Then clean your fecking boots you horrible little man ! 🤦‍♂️ 😉😆
