  2. 417 drum adapter v3b is good enough to show pics of. v2 and v3 were based off the Angel Customs drum, instead of the A&K SR-25 drum that v1 used, as that drum apparently sucks, and neither lasted through a single game day. v3c will likely be the final version, I just gotta make a little more room for the rear of the adapter to drop down. Not gonna be a big enough change for a v4. Three part, requires a donor AC M4 adapter, two M3x25mm bolts, one M3x14mm bolt, and three M3 square nuts. Complete reversible back to M4 adapter, so no wasted parts. You’re just using the sliding door, BB retention wedge, and spring. Since then I printed a low infill v3c and it fit, so now I have the final prototype of the two inner parts printing, and if those are all good then we will have a finished version.

  3. I'm definitely getting a theme - if ain't broke, don't try and upgrade it. πŸ˜„ I've got fair few others, so it's not my only gun... but is my favourite gun. I just felt with all my new acquisitions, she might be getting jealous. It stung when, at my son's first game, his Double Eagle M89 (UMP) chronoed at 300fps and mine, a weathered 270-280. His reaction was golden: "What does that mean Daddy?" "It means your pokey little gun can shoot further than mine bud." "Don't worry Daddy... I'll cover you while you get closer. You did say you like doing that leapard crawl thing." Little sh*t. πŸ˜†

  4. A man sees a sign outside a farmhouse: 'Talking Dog For Sale'....He rings the bell, the owner appears and tells him the dog can be viewed in the back garden. The man sees a very nice looking Black Labrador Retriever sitting there. "Do you really talk?" He asks the dog. "Yes!" The Labrador replies. After recovering from the shock of hearing the dog talk, the man asks, "So, tell me your story!" The Labrador looks up and says, "Well, I discovered that I could talk when I was pretty young. I wanted to help the government, so I joined the Garda. "In no time at all they had me jetting from country to country, sitting in rooms with spies and world drug lords, because no one imagined that a dog would be eavesdropping. I was one of their most valuable spies for eight years, But the jetting around really tired me out, and I knew I wasn't getting any younger so I decided to settle down. I signed up for a job at Dublin airport to do some undercover security work, wandering near suspicious characters and listening in. I uncovered some incredible dealings and was awarded several medals. I got married, had a few puppies, and now I've just retired!" The man is amazed. He goes back into the house and asks the owner how much he wants for the dog. "Ten quid!" The owner says. β€œA tenner??But this dog is absolutely amazing! Why on earth are you selling him so cheaply?" "Because he's a lying cunt. He's never been out of the garden!"

  9. Whilst i wholeheartedly agree in principle with the above, there are some issues with the gun you have chosen that really should be rectified with some (non-invasive) upgrades. Perhaps these are not 'upgrades', more like fixes to make your experience a whole lot nicer. The G&G Raider-L 2.0 is equipped with G&G's notorious ETU unit which (unless recently rectified by G&G) has been a royal pain in the rectum when it comes to batteries (and reliability!) for many a player. The low-voltage cutoff will simply shut the gun down prematurely unless you are using 9.6v NiMhs, or 11.1v LiPos (bye bye warranty with some retailers with the latter). Commonly used 7.4v LiPo's can be very problematic. The fitting of a Perun ETU++ will fix this issue, it's a simple plug-in job that does not require the receiver to be opened up. You can then use a small 7.4v LiPo (space is a premium in that little PDW stock receiver extension). Problem is - you are then left with the godawful stock ferrite motor which ain't great on a 7.4v LiPo. So factor in an SHS/Rocket Hi Torque replacement. On my son's G&G CM16 SRS (essentially the same gun internally), I have only replaced those two items and it's now a lovely little shooter (still using the stock barrel and hop rubber). Snappy enough on the trigger, but not crazy ROF, but with the extra benefit of the programming options on the Perun unit. Just my 2 pence.

  13. generally i tend to suggest cleaning the barrel before every outing, it might be dirty, it might not, but if you clean it before every game then it definitely won't be dirty. it's not particularly time consuming or difficult and it's amazing how much performance can be lost through lack of cleaning. suggesting upgrades is a very personal thing as it'll depend a lot on what particular area of performance you want to improve, and how far you want to go in improving it. so the general advice is leave it alone, go and play a few games, then start thinking "what is my gun not doing well enough for me?", followed up by "how much better will i be happy with?", then you can come back with a more specific question and we can advise on what areas you'd want to look at to address that issue. you'll also get a good feel on how well the gun performs so when you start tinkering you have an idea whether or not the work you've done has actually made the gun any better, because that's not necessarily a guarantee.

  14. You rarely need to clean the barrel but mainly when its new out of the factory. (I've polished the barrel on some of mine too) Experienced players might upgrade a new gun because they know what needs doing to change a certain characteristic and they have other guns as spares if something doesn't work. Some upgrades do not work well with other stock parts so it takes some experience to know what parts work well with others. We recommend playing with what you have until you have an idea of what you want to improve and then research how to do it. You might have a gun that performs better than average and not know it...

  15. We generally recommend NOT to upgrade a new gun. It often takes a few hundred BB's through it to bed in. As @concretesnailsaid, important to clean the barrel. (Be careful with the hop when cleaning) The best thing you can do at the moment is to change the connector to DEANS and get a couple of good Li-Po batteries and intelligent charger. Search the forum for more info...

    • For sale
    • Used

    Brand/Model: GHK AK105 Power source: CO2 FPS: 350 (Can be changed using the installed NPAS) Reason for sale: Very reluctant sale that I'm still in two minds about. Marks/blemishes: The condition is used as shown in the pictures with the only blemishes on the replica are on two locations of the front rail on the left hand side, where I had to cut horizontal cuts into the LCT hex screws to get them off when the hex sockets were ineffective. Once the cuts were in the screws came out fine so they have not been threaded at these locations and the working area was sprayed with black Krylon paint. Included in the sale: GHK AK-105 4 x Devil Hunter modded CO2 Magazines Krinkov Flash Hider Misc front tactical grip Misc Holo sight (May be Theta Optics so don't expect too much from it - I used a Vortex Sparq 2 with this rifle) Hephaestus Tactical AK fire selector LCT Z Series B-33 Dust Cover Classic ( aZB-33 ) LCT Z Series B-31C Upper Rail Handguard ( ZB-31C ) LCT Z Series B-30 Handguard Classic ( ZB-30 ) 1 x Large Tan Nuprol Hard case UK Price: Β£900 + P&P Payment options: Paypal only (Goods & Services) Shipping costs: TBC will estimate once packaged for transit and I provide receipt and refund the difference. Splits/SWAPS: I may consider splitting the rifle from the mags but only to sell the rifle first - no swaps. Other information: This was my 'Alpha' project where I focused solely on the external upgrades with the thought process being that I would upgrade the internals with Hephaestus parts as and when required. The only internal upgrade has been a custom NPAS to ensure I can regulate the FPS for different site limits which was done over 18 months ago using a well regarded guide (https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4381388) and has worked very well over that period. The only other internal works have been the sanding of various parts to ensure that the bolt cycles smoothly and I've had no issues with this to date, but I have found that full auto is less impressive but as a GBBR user its never been an issue for me as I use semi. The mags that come with this rifle are CO2 devil hunter modded mags which enable you to refill the mags as you would a gas mag. The mags were modded by CoreAirsoft Italy and have worked fine to date but means to fill the mags are not supplied within this sale. The preferred buyer would be someone who has experience with GBBRs. Videos or additional pictures can be supplied on request or if you have any questions drop me a DM and I'll get back to you as soon as I can.

  23. Hi. Like many, this project was started a long time ago. If you are a lover of shotguns you know the H&S mad max shottie shells are terrible. After acquiring x10 madbul Co2 shells a friend lathed up an adapter to run through the gun. Post covid I have dusted it all off and only 2 madbul shells have a small leak. I haven't stripped them down yet but I'm sure the reset mechanism is going to end up pinging across the room. I have spotted a few madbul shell copies out there and purchased a Show Girls mini launcher with a shell mainly to test the shell. Side by side the two brands are pretty close only time and pressure will tell if the Show Girls is as reliable as the Madbul. The adapter works well and gives you a total capacity of x12 6mm bb's. My shottie barrels are 8mm and this will be my room clearing shell. The old adapters were one offs and took a lot of time. I'm looking in to 3D printing more shell adapters and will open the hole out to 8mm so you have a combi of x5 6mm in the shell and x5 8mm in the adapter. One problem with the original lathed adapters was getting tooling in to put a seal groove in the end for bb retaining. 3D printed I'm thinking you could easily offset the seal to create a bit of hop. I hope this gets you thinking and dusting off unfinished projects.

  25. It's always risky tinkering with a sole gun, given the potential to make it worse, or unusable. The basic non-ETU G&Gs are solid candidates for clean-it-then-leave-it-alone reliable workhorses. They don't come with a big list of trick parts like a Specna or Lancer Tactical, but if you get a good one, they can work very well indeed. I agree with @Speedbird_666 that the stock motors aren't great, and that's an easy enough swap, as above (I like the value proposition of Big Dragon M140 motors bought direct from AliExpress, to chisel every penny, but there's more of a risk and a wait with them). Electrics can be a bit trickier, but the Perun ETU++ does take the worry out of that. It's telling that Perun have come up with a mosfet specifically to sort the notorious issues with the G&G ETU. If you want to fling more money at it, you can look at the parts in front of the gearbox. ZCI and AOLS barrels tend to be pretty decent for not a lot of money, but as always with Chinesium parts its entirely down to the example you receive. ZCI plastic rotary hop units work well, as do Maple Leaf hop rubbers and Maple Leaf (or clone) Omega nubs. There's always a danger of introducing misfeeding or an air leak when fiddling with the hop and rubber, and they can be very frustrating to diagnose or fix as they only need a fraction of a mm misadjustment either way to manifest. That risk can be ameliorated if you replace the barrel, hop unit and rubber as one, keeping the original G&G assembly aside and untouched. If you do have problems on game day, it's literally a couple of minutes to swap the original back in. Just please be aware that "upgrading" an airsoft gun can make it worse, or no better than the original parts, which are all designed to work together. It's great fun to tinker, but generally after you have a spare to hand.

  27. Clean it because it's new, then it's up to you. I rarely clean mine but I have several guns to chose from so none of them ever really get dirty as such. Otherwise, use it, have fun and work out what it doesn't do for you and remember - you don't always need more range, sometimes you just need to get closer.

  33. The Osprey books are excellent I think. Edward Manning's Her Privates We is often sited as being the best memoir to emerge from WW1. It was written by a man who served as a private and describes trench life in a lot of detail. Goodbye to All That and Sherston's progress by Graves and Sassoon respectively are excellent too. Both describe the appearance of men actually fighting. Apologies if you are already familiar with them, but I would recommend them all, if you are interested in the period.

  34. Check out weapon762, based in Spain but they stock some good airsoft versions of the expensive kit. Very hard to tell the exact vest, would agree it looks similar to a jpc and even if it's not, it's great carrier and likely to do you well (it does pretty much everything well).The real ones are more expensive but airsoft clones are generally fine. There is an argument for real versions, but I'd suggest sticking to airsoft ones and the quality of TMC has improved massively and the price is easier. Some sites like shooter cb gear can be worth looking at too.

  35. From the bit of it you can see, it looks to be one of the various jpc style clone cheapo airsoft rigs. That'll get you started on google at least, I doubt your looking for crye level, but Warrior assault systems stuff is decent enough for the price, or tmc repro stuff on aliexpress is good, don't bother with ebay, unless your looking for real steel secondhand kit, the ebay sellers only ship it from the same factories anyway for a healthy premium most of the time, just be prepared for some kit to be disappointing at those prices, either that or youll think its the best thing ever until you try the more expensive brands of kit ala crye, c2r, ferro

  36. Like to make it too easy eh... No idea on the plate carrier, but it's got a triple rifle mag pouch on the front (or kangaroo pocket) with a wide GP pouch stacked on top of that by the looks of it. Isn't just one piece of kit and hundreds of companies make mag and GP pouches in multicam.
