Also what a lot of players don’t seem to realize is TM are made exclusively for the Japanese market(Their not that bothered about what the rest of the world wants) where the FPS allowed is no more than 322fps by law . TM manufacturers all their gun to function to there maximum potential below this number hence they function so well at a lower FPS compared to other brands , and once you DO start ‘up-grading’ you end up in a situation where once one part is changed it throws everything else out of sink and you then end up replacing another part , then you need to replace another part , and another etc etc . I buy what I can afford AND what I like , so my collection runs the whole gamut from £25 springer shotguns up to £600+ ‘special’ guns AND everything in between ! 😁 I’ll be honest I’ve never encountered anyone looking down on my kit(but I think they probably realise from my general ‘demeanor’ I wouldn’t take any of that shit from anyone ?😇) but in the end who really cares ? I don’t ! 👍

Longest I've had it in was about an hour and a half. Wife loved it. Oops, wrong forum, misunderstood the title...

Never say never 😜

Don’t diss the BBG4L stock Apparently it’s a sound investment, allowing you to get a more than 100% return after giving it a jolly good thrashing 😆

Do you mind me asking what it is that you're after? There is physical stock that may not be listed online. Someone may have a lead on what you want here in the UK already.

Yes, the case that springers to mind is of the drunken beggar (but I repeat myself) that was convicted for public possession of an orange "soft air" gun. It's unclear from the reporting whether the prosecution was under 16a as above, or Firearms Act Section 19, simple public possession. https://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/news/local-news/man-toy-gun-outside-bank-2723276 Still convicted though, Firearms Act doesn't distinguish. I'm guessing one of these beauties. Broken drum time, but public possession (IF or RIF) is the real risk for us as owners, purchasers, and even "modifiers", not any VCRA considerations, since the VCRA won't be an issue unless you've already been caught orange handed. Note that Section 19 is a strict liability offence that requires an affirmative defence, and the prosecution doesn't have to show any intent or guilty mind. I try to keep site details readily to hand on my phone when on the way to or from a game day.

I've never looked at TMs principally because they are far and away beyond my budget. For me one of the thrills of airsoft is how much fun you can have without needing to spend massive amounts. Of course, wanting to spend massive amounts is a very different thing... For me, light weight wins every time, so it's plastic for me. Not at all fussed by recoil. Did try a GBB Glock once a few years ago, was fun but wouldn't go out my way to get one. Yes, gear snobs can look down at me if they so desire with my crappy Lancer Tactical M4 and my UAR. What is it thats said about APS, "A Piece of Shit"? Well to me they're great fun, work perfectly and cost me hardly anything. Most of all, I'm happy with what I've got. And they do the same job of lobbing plastic BBs at sub-350fps as something five times the price. And if folk want to blow 500 quid or whatever it is on a TM, fair play to them. Personally, I'll still hanker after a sub-£150 CSI XR-5 and perhaps an affordable non-CO2 Desert Eagle. As far as I'm concerned I'd never own another gnu if I had both of those.

Clearly. But wiv such gud returnz on investmunt yood fink theyd aford sumwon whooz a desent spelchekur too sort out they're websyte. Cos ryt now it looks lyke Angela Rayner is responsible for the coding...

Glad you asked. So, as is typical one of the RIFs that was part of the order went out of stock (not surprising as it was leading up to Black Friday). I've since been in contact with TG, re-jigged the order and am awaiting them to invoice me so I can pay through PayPal. Everything is in stock, and they are still up for running the test order with DHL to the UK. As soon as I've paid and receive the shipping notice I'll let the forum know, so you can judge how it went. However, being a glutton for punishment (and because I couldn't pass up a bargain on Gunfire), I've also got a parallel order with them, noting they've ceased using GLS (apparently they had some issues) and have gone back to UPS. I did email them about this and they seem to think that recent performance has been better to the UK (to be fair it couldn't have been much worse). Luckily I'm not in a rush, and I thought it might prove an interesting experiment to compare the main Polish retailers and how quickly they are shipping and report back. Any delay will also give me a chance to think about what I'm going to say to my wife when all these RIFs turn up...

I'd send them back and the retailer would cover all costs. Bloody cheeky of them.

Damn you ! I appear to have accidentaly ordered a Spectre 🤣

Impressive! Lose walls, small penis or numbness cream + a rubber?😂

True and fair bud. People buy rifs different reasons; I like collecting gbbrs for example, not always practical but they always put a smile on my face when someone gets tagged.

Tbh I tend not to bother prepping the surface more than a quick wipe down, but that's because I like the worn look. Also Krylon OG and Halfords green are the same shade, as I found out when painting my M4

Worse than UPS? Then I can only assume that this means GLS sort their incoming packages like this. Greater heroism hath no man than that he put in "race ya" orders to two Polish companies during the Christmas rush. I'm fascinated to hear how it works out, both with the orders, and explaining them to the wife.

I can see that screw now actually, but oddly I’d had it off without touching that or the rail l but yeah it’s there cheers until I get my 3d mount for my Venom this is all I have spare to use! 😃

This is one of my rifles, 4 years after being painted with Halfords paint. It’s worn but in general still looking good. Having spent large portions of my life painting surfaces, I’d say prep it every time. Yeah it might take a bit of work but the results will always be worth it.

My sister just cited Godwin's law as we argued. I did compare her to Hitler, but only to persuade her to shave that silly little 'tache off.

Phwoarr, haud me back. A top-quality "bundel" (sic, to quote BBG4L) of complete keech featuring keech splintery BBs, keech battery, keech firestarter charger and finished off in super dooper keech dayglo orange for additional keechness. Does it come wi' an instruction "manuel" (again, sic, cf. BBG4L, who's spelling is top quality like their RIFs)? Where's ma wallet...

Yep, and that's what its all about, having a smile on your face. Whether its practical or not! Quite right too. I've only got four RIFs however the one I shoot most often at home is the 20 quid Galaxy springer 1911 I picked up from BBG4L. Its a hoot. Thankfully never come across any gear snobs at games, the folks at my home site are all great craic and there's none of that. However it seems to be pretty prevalent on the net. Stuff em. Pfft. Who am I trying to kid eh...

Try Luke at Negative Airsoft. I believe he has a small supply of a limited number of parts for Bolt MP5s.

All WE rifles are hot bro. Hence all the npas/ nozzle mods and fls disc shenanigans. Also 1 joule nozzles are available from milspec etc.

Yeah, its fine to use a higher 'C' rated battery. In fact its better because lower 'C' might make the battery heat up. The 'C' rating is a multiple of its overall capacity and indicates the maximum current draw the battery can deliver. A motor will take the power it needs from the battery. If the motor needs a lot of power and the battery has a low 'C' it may struggle to provide that power and get stressed. A battery getting hot indicates its stressed.

I thought I needed a MAXX hop unit in order to qualify?

Bet nobody saw that coming huh? I hadn't looked at the site for years, they just had the SSG and maybe one pistol at the time. Looked again last night, pretty big line now. Also watched a video about their plate carrier since that's my field and that was.. interesting. The staff at the company is apparently 55 people now so those old rumours about customer service being shit because it was just him working from his house definitely don't apply anymore. As with the RIFs, all the kit is just slightly modified versions of cheap chinese stuff available elsewhere; admittedly with some reasonable input visibly based on a lot of playing airsoft. As with anything, if you order enough they'll make alterations to a product from the factories. The way the company was born and has evolved is certainly interesting and pretty unique compared to the classic old model of manufacturers and retailers.

Can hear the magazine is leaking. Its not difficult to fix but since its new you can return it.

Congratulations, you are now a fully Reddit-qualified airsoft tech. 👍 Surprising to see that bearing piston head, these DE90X's really are making a strong argument for themselves. On the wiring, you'll have found that there's a fair amount of stuffing required to get everything to fit, so it's not something that would particulary bother me (with a plastic base). That said, you could remove some material from the base plate as long as there's enough left to keep the motor aligned - it's only the adjustment screw and shim that should really be pressing down (well, up) on it. That would make you a God Tier Redditor.

Smart looking gnu that. Summat right out if Halo, or 40k, or Star Wars.

Question is: is the olive drab colour a factory paint or a previous owners custom job? I have been able to return home painted RIF’s to factory quite easily and quickly just using unleaded petrol. The paint came off with a little agitation with a toothbrush (one I was finished with 😝) a quick wash with detergent then a wipe with an oiled rag and it’s they were as good as new 👍

We wish. I heard the first batch was for Asian market only. Think tiger were taking pre order, but haven’t heard of anyone getting their hands on one yet. I have a contact in the uksf milsim scene but no news as of yet.

Well, I had a few hours spare so I thought why not try and break my M904E by taking the gearbox apart (my first ever gearbox disassembly!) to see if I can get back my missing 15 FPS, which turned out to be far more stressful than I thought it would be (and a test firing of just the gearbox in the receiver failed, s**t, until I realised the battery was flat). Bottom line is that right now I have to disassemble it again as the combined XT cylinder head and nozzle are too long so BB's are not feeding, the XT and stock nozzle are the same length though, so maybe a cylinder head or tappet plate problem? I see though that MAXX make all sorts of lengths of nozzle so I've bought a few of theirs as well (they do a 21.25mm, lengths seem to increment up or down by 0.25mm). The disassembly did throw up two interesting things though. First of all the bottom of the pistol grip is cutting into the motor wires... https://i.imgur.com/IhUDTtt.jpg ... and secondly I'd seen on some websites that the DE M90X's allegedly had a bearing on the piston head as well and they do!.. https://i.imgur.com/LVlAPn6.jpg ... and this has had no effect on my my Guarder SP100 spring which is still 17cm after around 10,000 shots. Edit: I also bought a Guarder tappet plate, on which the "fin" on the rear that connects with the sector gear is wider, and with this swapped in this morning we're feeding again and back to 345'ish FPS on 0.20g BBs 😁

I used halfords on mine with no issues. Seems as good as Krylon IMO. Coating it in matt lacquer will help protect the paint.

I picked up a new battle harness recently. so changed from a black Viper Skeleton harness to the Viper Battle Harness in multicam. And during Black Friday I spotted some big discounts on the Novritsch (sorry) modular suppressor and one of the rifle camo covers. The cover was so cheap I thought I'd see what it was like... not bad I think - it certainly breaks up 'black slab' of the top half of the gun

I love it when you talk dirty 🤪 Regards

Was it the former resident here ?, aka Bamf, he only ever lasts a couple of days at a time on fb lol

I’ve been missing my favourite local Facebook poster during his 30 day ban, he’s just got back and being relatively withdrawn. We also no longer have a bus station in Salisbury and the car park homeless camp was shut down during novichok Got to get the informed and constructive debate from somewhere

You're very welcome to, but I doubt that it will make an iota of difference to our learned colleague's deeply felt feelings about what the law ought to say. Honestly, I've just given up, if I wanted this level of informed and constructive debate I can get it on Twitter, Facebook, or yelling at tramps down the bus station.

Does it not flap about like an absolutely terrified salmon?

This weekends line up for The Gaol in Leicester! Decided to give my MTW a rest l, so I can play with my other toys!!

Fair point , BUT as Airsoft is 80% ‘the look’ and 20% performance it NEEDS a spectre not an ACOG ! 😉

I know, but I've got a bit more time on my hands at the moment than usual so fancied playing around a bit 😁 To be honest I could probably just get away with just re-greasing the stock piston head and seeing what happens, but I've an itch I want to scratch.

normally we don't need to ask this question but what weight of bb is it registering 330fps on?

The EmersonGear one buddy!

I do … I might wait until it warms up a bit as I have no indoor ventilated and dry space to do it at the moment though. This is the paint job I did on my other M4, after about 3 years of wear and I’m pretty happy with it, so I’m thinking of going along the same lines.

I feel for the OP as he's clearly got a lemon but I've had no issue with them myself and to say that an entire company is shady off the back of one purchase is going a bit far. As for hiding where they're based, if you don't notice that all the shipping options are China/HK based at checkout then that's on you.

I actually think they should double the minimum age. No under 25's, at least a three day induction course, six months of banks statements and a permission slip signed by your wife/partner. If you're not married/living with your partner, you can't play. Save the space for those of us who have a legitimate reason to leave the house at 6am on a weekend.
