These are once again available in the UK...so been after one for ages and it's also the GEN 2 verison. (Got mine through opticswarehouse.co.uk...same with all my other Vortex optics. Gotta love zero % finance)

I wont be at this one, however i might have caught a film-sim/historic-sim bug at the arabs weekender....

yeah heard of this too. seems they've fallen quite far into the well of dirty tactics since the internet made finding out records from the original source much easier to find.

Get it right, your PC wasnt 'hacked' you clicked on something you shouldn't have. 😜

So I ran the Southampton Marathon on Sunday. Took me 4 hours and 25 minutes which I'm really pleased with considering summer decided to turn up and it was 25 degrees. Legs have just about stopped aching now. Was it a good experience? yes Am I doing another? hell no

Welcome to the forum @Scorp As per my previous posts in other topics, make sure you dont skimp out on getting decent eye protection and get some boots with ankle suppor (your ankles will thank you later!) before you start spending money on guns. Ideally, try rental before buying your guns, to see if airsoft is for you because unlike paintball that In the meantime, checkout @GAMBLE's videos here: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCL-V_yVApaCpm096XBAQE1A/videos to give you a more realistic insight to airsoft than the clickbaity ones on youtube.

Latest acquisition. Ares L22A2. Weathered it a little, still a wip. I've weathered susats before, but this was my first attempt almost close to accurate.

Just to update I got my plate carrier setup from Poland delivery by UPS and I was thinking about long delays and extra charges. Only took over a week and no extra charges on 269 order,I already paid VAT from the shop though.

An extremely convincing argument, a heavy defence of the seller that isnt remotely suspicious even with the lack of evidence beyond "looks legit to me bruv" and loyal devotion to spreading the word. On the other hand we have the guy who has a long history on this board of buying both legit real optics and chinese clones, but that doesnt mean anything.....

tbf, joule creep generally doesn't apply to aeg's, at least in the same sense it's applied to the likes of gbb's, hpa's or bolty's with heavy pistons. that said, i've heard the term applied to meaning the difference between X fps on X weight compared to X fps on Y weight, which isn't the same thing. although i do get the sentiment that a site insisting on the old 0.2g chrono probably hasn't bothered learning the situations when that's not such a good idea.

@M6GXH This is an airsoft forum. You will need one for air rifles. Whilst an airsoft gun is a BB gun, not all BB guns (firing metal ammo) are airsoft. Topic locked.

Might help if you posted a link to the rifle in question, especially as you've stated it's 4.5mm, an air rifle, & this forum is primarily focused on 6mm Airsoft equipment 🤔

before cutting anything, are you running thrust bearings on both the piston and the spring guide? if so you can lose the one in the piston (replace it with a washer) and that'll drop you a few fps. you do want at least one thrust bearing though, and having it on the spring guide saves piston mass.

One of my 417s, featuring my WIP HK417 drum design. I could use some suggestions on how to two-tone it up more, as its good up front but id like to add some FDE towards the rear. The G28 grip wont work, already tried (different design for some reason).

Several test prints later, and a few changes were made. The screw hole has been enlarged for the bolt to pass clean through the base, and halfway into the shell. This makes it flush inside the assembly and actually serves as a pin between all 4 parts. I have also decreased the outer sides of the Inner parts by .02" all around (.5mm), as it would require a pneumatic press to actually get the two inner halves into the shell. Just the cm or so I shoved them together to test the fitment took a hammer to remove. So far I have 2 of the latest bases done, a possible "production" print of the shell done (I have three options to print it: First, I can do it with the top horizontal, and support material as a wedge. This is what I did for the shell I have printed. It worked, but did have some errors along the base and had to be sanded flat. Testing with the inner parts after theyre done will determine if this is a problem. Its also the longest print - at 80% speed it takes a whopping 14 hours: Second is to print it with no supports at the bottom, leaving the top as a slant. This has the plus of ensuring a flat base, but gives a layered top: Third is to print on its side. This is the fastest method at only 8 hours and change at 100% (approx 12 hours at 80%), but does use the most material and cost the most. To be fair its about 3 Euros per shell vs the 2.70 Euros or so if printed in either vertical orientation, so not exactly an important difference. Cleaning all that support material out is gonna be a PITA though, and itll leave the face-down side a different texture due to my textured print bed. ), and I am working on printing the two inner halves now. Heres what it looks like mostly assembled, still missing the two inner halves:

G&P reborn....again! Carry handle and classic fore end with BHD-type camp paint done in a hurry. Will be my go-to for woodland games (GBBR is NOT ideal when you need to put down lots of covering fire!) Now I need to find some metal STANAG mags in stock somewhere so I can paint to match!

you managed to use the shell ok then?

New pistol need new holster as well 😁 I had one before but sold it best IPSC holster for cheap.

One of the many pointless words in the world!

Googles "cromulent"

How did it go?! Did you manage to carry everything okay?

My from the weekends Catterick game

A perfectly cromulent solution. I wear a belt and braces, but that's mostly just to hang an MP5K of. It's amazing how many mags you can stuff into the pockets of surplus shirts and trousers.

My problem with turnigy is everything is just a rebrand and while some things are ok others really aren't and when it comes to chargers I am always cautious. I use the skyrc t200 as need to charge 6s but did have the t100 for awhile and it is a brilliant dual charger for under £45.

must say i am going for the mags in the pocket option

Our site photographer got a good one of my MTW last sunday... **edit slightly

TM 1911

Best charger without spending silly money is probably one of these. https://www.modelsport.co.uk/product/skyrc-t100-battery-charger-444856

As someone who tried to get them to come and certify a world record I can confirm this is not the case, they generally tell you that yours is too silly (really?! Have you seen some of the stuff they certify?) and then threaten legal action if you call it a "world record" with out them verifying it (even if you never mention the G word) Last email to them was pretty much summed up as "Go away in small, jerky movements'

Got another 1911 Also some cheap wood grips. I was going to get the MEU but then I saw the night warrior version 😮

This charger/discharger has been serving me well over the years. Just make sure you buy a genuine one! I buy my batteries from Vapextech.co.uk.

Ahoy and welcome. Those are reasonable enough choices, there's no need to spend more than CYMA M4 money on a first AEG to see if you stick with the hobby. They also upgrade well too, mine has evolved into a surprisingly snappy and consistent little thing. Is there much to research about airsoft? Turn up, spray and pray, then complain that you would have made 20,000 kills if they hadn't all cheated.

Couple of pics of myself from the Stirling game this weekend at Catterick

I like to mount mine on the shelf with all the other things I bought that I don't use.

Trio of Tanaka saa's

The family

How about a single photo, with the gun in question on a duvet in a dingy room, taken by a camera with a dirty lens? That's usually the "I bought a BB gun off my mate" crowd.

Pretty much my thoughts too. "only used for testing in the garden, honest"

*Tarkov music intensifies* Took my final delivery of ZenitCo bits from Russian this morning, small amount of filing on the mock gas tube and dishes are done. Taken months to get it all together, but I love this angry little bastard. (Tracer installed in PBS-1 for CQB)

Last weekend’s Battle rifle 😎 Yes it’s STILL got the label on it ! 😁

This is my Viper Tech 2021 production KAC SR-16E3 Mod 1 GBBR. 6061 T6 receiver, produced with URX 3 handguard. Larue Tactical rail clips, Hogue ar15 pistol grip Installed the KAC handguard cover. A mount from Geissele arrived at my house today and I installed my LPVO.

Well, many days after starting, I've finally finished all 200 pages. Apart from figuring out that I really need to do more with my spare time, here are my main take homes from the thread: The MWS in all its iterations is, as Snoop may say, the shiznit The MK18 version looks ace but the design is mental The third party support for the platform is huge @AlphaBearhates Nuprol The one constant upgrade that almost everyone agrees on as being performance enhancing and therefore an essential purchase, is the SixG brass nub Whenever retailers get any MWS's or TM original parts in stock (especially mags), they disappear rapidly, so act fast Angry Gun are shit, but they're not, sort of HAO Industries kits are incredible looking (416 and L119A2 🤤) but are jaw-droppingly expensive @AlphaBearreally hates Nuprol Fire Support provide excellent service to the needy and cash-rich MWS brethren Depending on barrel length, ammo weight, nub type, gas type, ambient conditions, lunar alignment and inside leg measurement, FPS ranges from 200 - 1,400 fps The green gas mag mod is not necessarily necessary @AlphaBearfrigging hates Nuprol Become familiar with Impulse101 and other Japanese sites and order well in advance of needing spare TM parts Nozzles, nozzle springs, TM hop rubbers and a decent armourer's wrench should be in everyone's tool/spares box This thread is an absolute goldmine of people willing to share information, admire other people's builds and welcoming other people in joining the growing number of MWS owners @AlphaBearabsolutely, positively hates Nuprol Thanks everyone. Looking forward to receiving the stock alert email telling me it's time to sell a kidney (or kid) as my MWS journey is about to begin.

Yeah the scammers are becoming a problem. i posted two adds this year and got a scammer all over it within a few hours. one somehow lacking the know how to operate a camera and a computer while the other seemingly thought i wouldnt check that he stolen and photoshopped the image of a "thing" he has to sell but will only go through email seriously? i hate been boxed in and having people message me through email.. who even still does this anyway? also why? its pretty annoying and extremely uncomfortable
