Super happy snagged what's for me is a holy grail item. Full Gb-tech mk12 mod0 kit + ARMS scope rings and qd bipod adaptor.

Finally got some 11.1s to fit the AK... FROM FRANCE! Worldwide supply/stock is shocking ATM. Shortened the leads, cloth taped for better abrasion resistance, and some cheeky connector numbering with the iron.

Replacing my cheapo ASG Balance charger with a recognised good 'un, the SkyRC T100, because my Titan battery decided to die on me. Not sure if I had a short in my AK, but it blew the internal fuse. I've got a replacement coming under warranty and I might as well charge it up on a better charger from the off. Bought the Deans cable and a couple of balance charger extender leads too.

Hydrate and stay hydrated, stretch your muscles as much as you can before you start playing. I think generally having a daily level of activity in your life so that a day's airsofting isn't such a shock to the body is the best way to avoid a lot of aches and pains.

Went into shop today to buy some 0.48's for my mate...and a few little bits for myself. (3000mAh 7.4 Titan, couple of flashmags, some BB's for myself) Ended walking out with this as well..... Bugger! (Added on Trijicon & real M4 stock when I got home - Now to clean the barrel & Flathop it) E&C (This will get a couple of skirmishes, then be painted up and mounted on a Plaque)

I've made some 'painting' It's definitely a step up from the crayons I usually have to eat play with, really rather fun! I smudged a bit around the mag well (on the other side), and maybe there's a couple of other areas that need a bit of re-toning and some texture from the scrim added in, but as my first attempt it was a good learning experience. All done with Halfords paint (black/khaki/green/brown) as it was easy to grab them on my travels. Still want a muted red and a near-white to add some extra highlights.

Fills should come from: A maintained professional compressor, costing thousands, and run steadily A pre filled scuba cylinder - filled from a maintained professional compressor A stirrup pump at home If you live in deepest Canada, playing the odd game in your remote woods then perhaps consider a dual system of a workshop compressor and a discontinued Tom Kaye shoebox booster compressor. Run it on a stop start basis over a day or longer A compressor costing a few hundred should not be ‘thrashed’ daily How warm were your cylinders when they were filled? What pressure were they filled to, and how much did they drop when cooled back down? A professional compressor is best used in a cascade manner into a substantial holding cylinder, players cylinders drawing from the master and the compressor kicking in to top up the master See here for the UKPSF basic air safety HPA1 sheet https://m.facebook.com/nt/screen/?params={"note_id"%3A796094531191401}&path=%2Fnotes%2Fnote%2F&_rdr

Truly shameless self promotion alert - also aimed very much at the military so forewarning if you're not in to kit that's way OTT for airsoft. If I may I'd like to present the Ammo Hub A1, a supremely modular placard that at the core level is designed to be the foundational basis for carrying your primary mags either on the front of a PC or built up to a chest rig. I get that from the picture that it really doesn't look like much, but please believe me when I say the design is done in such a way that there are 10s of thousands of potential setups you can build and the aftermarket integration features of the placard are done such that the interfaces are super sleek and tucked away - mostly they comprise of slots and various velcro areas. It takes any mag insert with hook velcro on both sides like Spiritus and HSP so it'll work for ARs, AKs and all SMGs just like the other micro rigs many of you will be familiar with. I'm not currently aware of a PC with placard integration on the front that this cannot attach to. It can take different top and side attachment buckle options as well as any PALS pouches on the front, sides and base and Tubes compatible dangler pouches/sub loads. It can be stacked on top of itself or mounted side by side with itself if you buy 2 and want that capacity and capability. Any back strap or harness that uses industry standard 1" buckles can be attached but the side attachment loops can be tucked away entirely when used on a PC. If you have a cummerbund that includes FS Tubes it can clip in directly to the placard rather than the front plate bag for maximum security (extra Tubes purchase req'd); but if that doesn't apply for your PC there's also a way to strap the bottom of the placard to the bottom of the plate bag. Because of its' size it can be slightly curved even with 3 AR mags stored and it will stick to your PC/chest rig base better than most other similar products. The Ammo Hub is very very light and kept slim by the use of FirstSpear's specific 6/12 cordura/loop velcro laminate fabric while still being made to meet or exceed the specs required for military applications in terms of strength and durability of both materials and stitching. The hub is shown here mounted to the front of an FS Plate Carrier with 3 EMAGs stowed inside: The first small batch will only be in MC and will available around late feb/early march. There's are no 2 ways about it though, it will be expensive. You're looking at something roughly in the region of $60-70 (exact details TBC) for the basic setup with just top attachment buckles and you'll then need an insert of your choosing to retain mags, but I'd imagine a lot of interested folks will already own compatible ones. At least at first they'll only be available from FS in the states but of course I'll work with shops like Tactical-Kit to bring it to the UK if the desire is there and the opportunity arises. If there's desire in the market then more colours will be shortly forthcoming and I have lots of ideas for my own harnesses/back straps and expander wings etc to compliment the wide variety already available out there that are compatible from the likes of Ferro, Spiritus and Haley. NB - There is actually room for 5 x SMG mags like MP5 and ARP9. I'll be gradually talking about and showing all the many features in depth and close up over the coming weeks on my business IG/FB page so feel free to follow if you'd like to know more: https://www.instagram.com/f9gear_/ https://www.facebook.com/F9-Gear-105213495349920

Thats pretty good. I find the Halford camo paints are nice and matt without being dusty. Quite hard wearing too IMO

Finally got where it wants to be I think. Custom rail and folding stock, pts stock and grip red light and tracer in the suppressor. Padded 5.11 sling and magpul 7.62 pulls

Very happy hippy. That is sexy af mate.

I never use red gas in my pistols, but mine are basically all TMs. They still function on green in winter and if I put red gas in them I'd be scared that they would explode (TMs are designed to use 144a, but green gas in winter works because it's so cold). When it's really cold I just switch to the mp7 AEP or the mk23, as AEPs and non-blowback works all year round. With most pistols, especially the heavier metal-slide pistols, you need red gas during winter because it just doesn't work otherwise. However, as has been said, make sure you switch back to lower power gas when the weather heats up or you'll damage the pistol. I run my AAP on green gas even when it's around 10 degrees celcius and it works no problem, but any colder and it struggles.

Yeah, its the common problem for all gas operated weapons. In cold weather the gas does not expand as vigorously so loses power. Therefore Red gas is recommended for Winter use as its compressed to a higher pressure in the bottle. But do not use it when the temperature warms up as it will be over powered for use in games and possibly damage components.

I can't help with your specific question I'm afraid. However I have bought from them a few times and can tell you that the vast majority of negative feedback they receive is because if you annoy them, they will literally tell you to fuck off. Usually nothing to do with the items they stock.

Though the video you posted states the fact that the ‘new rules’ are exactly how people should be driving anyway Don’t run over pedestrians Don’t crash into the vehicle in front Don’t make any manouvre that relies on the actions/inactions of others Drive defensively, pay attention and exercise hazard perception

TechT gunsav for air seals - out of stock everywhere, let me know if you find some! And Parker Hale gun oil for metal on metal / trigger pack / charging handle / buffer spring. If you have HSB you’ll have Moly grease on your buffer spring.

Erk, no, I mean, if you have another complete V2 gearbox to swap in, I'd try that, not moving parts around. At this point it seems like you'll want to binary-chop the issues down rather than introducing new variables. That said... One piece of voodoo that (maybe) helped me with an inconsistent feed issue was putting a detent into the top of the hop chamber. Take a 6mm drill bit, put it straight up the feed tube, and very carefully create a small relief in the top of the chamber. With a plastic chamber, I did it by hand, with light pressure and a few turns. Just enough to create a shallow dome that the BBs can key into and feel safe and loved rather than finding themselves unsure where to go. I'm unclear on the science (if any) behind it, but after doing that, my feeding problems went away. Although with it being airsoft, its just as likely that they were sorted by sheer fluke by yet another disassemble-reassemble.

Are you using Mid caps filled to the brim when testing? As this does sound like midcap syndrome

Some shady guy.

Not a big fan of spray jobs but that looks bloody nice.

Issue 1 is not really a problem and will probably be non existent once you put the heavier spring in. It really helps with trigger response without paying for a pre cocking mosfet if you want to look at it that way! Issue 2, as above. You need to put it in the receiver and install the stock tube.

Picked this up today. 6+1 shooter. Bet General Custer wished he'd had one...

so issue number 1 is very common, and not really an issue per-say. essentially the motor and geartrain still has momentum when the cutoff lever trips and will roll round until stopped. it's basically free precocking, as all precocking does is intentionally run the motor a little longer so it stops near the end of travel. a mosfet with active braking will remedy this (although sometimes can go too far and stop the system too quickly giving lockups on semi), a better solution would be a mosfet with precocking which will let you intentionally control where the box stops. issue number 2 i'd say is happening because you're testing it outside of the reciever (going by the picture), assuming this is going to an ar derivative (the sr-15 in your profile) then when you put the gearbox into the reciever and bolt on the buffer tube/stock, the bolt that threads into the back of the box will go into the spring guide and hold it tight to the back of the box, stopping it from tilting.

Lol, prob didn't like my pm?

Perhaps I should a) Let someone else do the Taiwangun thang and report back and more importantly b) Try the new guns I've just bought in a skirmish for the first time, before trying to buy another one (and risking my marriage)

I never found the red useful . If I had something that was lackluster on green I go straight to black gas. Is quite rubbish that with that little bolt on the aap is not more efficient/weather proof.

Any gas will be fine just buy whatever you can get for the best price.

Yes, I've just done it with my 308. It foes require some cutting and additional/alternate parts, shot me a pm or make a new thread it's not a quick question thing.

Best to e-mail them about 3am ?

That’s the stuff ? Do the deliver to the UK?

Is this it - In stock here but it’s a French site €9.00 so not sure it import charges

Had a dig around my assorted kit and rejigged my belt kit to incorporate an assault pack attached to a back panel so I can now use my large HPA tank with my m21 (small tank was fine, but now I can shoulder transfer and have no worries of running out of air). VSR still uses small tank, as I had a very active day last week and still had about 1k psi left in the tank, but the m21 had a tendency to almost run dry on a quieter day due to higher number of shots. On an active day, I could see me running out, and I did run out many times during AI500 last year and had to quickly pump up the tank. Redid one of my chest rigs to use with the m21 as well, so I can carry 5 mags (350 BBs) plus a BB bag and speed loader in a utility pouch for those more active days. Also added 4 more pistol mag pouches to the rig in case I run the m21, a pistol (with 4 spare mags on the belt) and my mp5k on a sling with 4 spare mags on the chest rig. Won't be properly field testing it until spring and the foliage at my local site thickens up because at the moment I'm having way too much fun with my VSR and the open sight lines.

Like the other voices here, I am showing the signs of joyful abuse of the body over the years. Multiple reconstruction surguies has taught me there is no substitute for continuous conditioning. I started, many moons ago, using a program called romwod, range of movement worked on daily, it's an Internet based video program of daily stretches and holds for strength and conditioning and its been great. It instantly helped me and I find it easier to fit in than classes, gym, etc. On days where I know I'm going to pushing it activity wise I use compression garments, company called skin makes the ones I like. And a recovery paste made by climbon (It amazing but not the cheapest). Like you i dont want to give up what I enjoy for age.

I haven't had problems with it yet myself, but have heard from my Dad that cutting down on dairy products can help.

I can't remember reflex sights that long ago. Must have been out of my price range (most things were). The third style of red dot that Snuff asks about are not great in low light unless you go silly money. The coating on the lens cuts some parts of the light spectrum in order to work clearly. This apparently is what makes them give poor light transmission. Sorry for the poor tech explanation, but it was explained to me by someone who clearly overestimated my knowledge of physics. I had a Hawke one that was crap past dusk even with a Ledray 6.

Its started off with La Poste with the tracking number , but was quickly changed to Parcelforce as soon as it was collected from the store which I’m quite happy with as I’ve never had an issue with PF Also the PF tracking is quite detailed Its now moving through sorting offices and the message on the tracking system regarding possible Customs charges has vanished! ?

Google oil flash fill explosion and then trust someone else to maintain a compressor. There have been some pretty gnarly explosions from oil getting into the bottle regulators. I’m just about to buy a dive tank as I’m in the same position as yourself

You could try a work around/test by binding the base of the spring in the mid caps. Compression a few coils and the wire them together, you'll loose some capacity but find a coil count that works for your need feeding pressure and then cut raw springs to that number of coils.

Have you done the sacrifice with the herbs and incantations.

Having carefully read everything that you've written and tried, then I'd concur that it's either the chrono, or you should accept that it's time to live the life potato. Honestly, you've ruled out everything that I can think of, short of swapping in another complete gearbox to see on which side of the nozzle the problem lies.

Who did you get your goggles off? ?

Few pics from last sunday at Camp Sparta.

Can do, depends on the weather. As for airsoft, I had a eye near miss for the first time in 17 years of playing a couple of weeks ago. It was at a CQB site in Derby, and I foolishly broke cover and ran across an open doorway only to get pre fired by some tights wearing HPA hicapa spammer who was lying on the floor and put a line of bb’s into my face out of his/her/it’s stupid M4 magazine. The eye pro took the brunt, but a stray bb hit my eye socket in the gap between my ballcap and my specs and left me dazed and a gnarly black eye formed overnight. I wear prescription Oakleys which don’t seal to my face, but have got away with that for years. It’s at my own risk, but it’s probably foolish. My main error was going to a silly CQB site and exposing myself to a lot more risk than I usually do. In retrospect, I’d say wear high quality full face for CQB. I’m never going to that kind of hell hole, it’s not what I play airsoft for and is just too unrealistic. I’m sticking with my prescription Oakleys and being very picky about when I stick my neck out as a target. I like to try and treat airsoft like real life and not run out into obvious potential lethal danger, and as such I don’t get hit very often when playing. I do a lot of milsim, and this Dye type paintball PPE just doesn’t work with NVG or respirator’s either.

Yes, I do! I lusted after one of those (for no good reason). I ended up with a BSA Reflex sight to go alongside my Viking 4x32. (not my pic, but I still have the sight, with half the mount missing) That reflex sight was actually pretty decent for plinking at cans at 30-40yds, but I always reverted to the scope on my occasional pigeon hunts.

£225 with no furniture AND its broken? Where do I sign?

The S&T Lee Enfield No.1 MkIII*, a very nice bit of kit...

I chopped a 1978 CG125 once... Hardtail, single seat and pullbacks. I also upholstered one, covering the entire thing in inch long fur from a set of those faux animal skin seat covers that used to 'grace' so many Cortinas and Vauxhall Vivas. They were majestic.

Ive finally finished my WE apache k CQB build and its come out better than i dared to hope.

I've been after a super blackhawk for a while and finally got one at a none ridiculous price.
