There needs to be a sticky for this info 🙈 MODS FOR RELIABILITY; >Quality armourers wrench. >Spare nozzle spring - the original one will last a very long time but will fatigue eventually. (DP are good spares). >Spare nozzle in case you get a stoppage or some freak breakage. >Spare bucking. >A SixG HSB to protect the buffer part ‘b’. >TechT GunSav lube for O rings - the gun needs lubing daily. >Parker Hale gun oil for everything else. >Categorically no Angry Gun or Nuprol parts. (Nuprol gas is OK) >Feed it quality ammo. >Keep it clean. You can use any gas you like with a HSB installed. It will handle it all, you may just need to adjust the buffer tube for reliable lock on empty with powerful gases. MODS FOR UPGRADE; >A lightweight bolt - only necessary if you want even faster cycle time and/or play in Sub 10c temperatures a lot. >SixG Super Nub for range and accuracy. >Bucking TM, Modify Tan, or Maple MR 50d (needs mod to fit) >370mm barrel and for big FPS/DMR use >NPAS if you need to control FPS more. >Trigger box work for crispest action, you will need a good 10,000 shots to bed all the parts in first though.

Time for something a bit different? Kj Works KC02 in a Samson B-TM stock with custom turned tapered barrel, VSR hop and Rogueworx internals. How’s about a cheeky bit of Bullpup action too? GHK G5 in a SRU kit with a real Eotech 552 as the cherry on the top. I’ve got a HPA kit that lets me run AEG mags in it, but I’m way too lazy to fit it so I’ll be running a HPA drum mag on saturday

For diggin' an' killin'

How many stupid people does it take to change a light bulb? Five. One to stand on the stool and hold the bulb, the other four to turn the stool round. I went to give blood the other day. I'm not fricking doing it again. Just too many questions. Where did you get it from? Whose is it? Why is it in a bucket?

Going to be taking my son to his first game very soon, so rather than giving him a GBBR to use (not a great first skirmish choice) or my 416 which weighs a stack (and is also very expensive!) I used airsoft logic to treat him/myself to a new AEG; a Cyma AKS-74U. Looks and feels great, heavier than I thought though, but reviews are very good and should see him proud. The four mid-caps are more for me when I inevitably use it 😳

Another vote for the ribbed knobbler. And instead of 'you're dead', you can say 'here, smell this'

So in awe, I watched the waxing moon ride across the zenith of the heavens like an ambered chariot towards the ebony void of infinite space wherein the tethered belts of Jupiter and Mars hang, for ever festooned in their orbital majesty. And as I looked at all this I thought.… I must put a roof on this toilet 🤔🤭

Here was me thinking I just needed to use a grey pistol to blend in.....

Hello all. I'm new to skirmishing but have had airguns and airsoft guns for years, sometimes shoot clays and centrefire. I occasionally do IPSC practical pistol with my TM Hi Capa. Had my first Skirmish in August 2020 at (I think?) RIFT and had an absolutely immense amount of fun. Finally getting to my 2nd, long overdue skirmish this weekend at Airsoft Plantation and looking forward to ending up a fat sweating wheezy mess by the end of it. Will be taking my Lancer Gen2 M4, WE Galaxy G, and Cyma P90 (which is kinda shite I know but there as backup). Still fiddling with kit setup but I get the impression this will never really stop... Looking forward to talking with you all and picking your brains over all kinds of technical stuff - I'm used to working on airguns but gearboxes, MOSFETS etc. is all new to me. Peace Floperator

I will get one soon, to go with my gameday shirt

Just a quick one to say these have gone up for preorder at WGC shop. Should be due next month according to their ETA. https://www.wgcshop.com/collections/new-arrivals/products/northeast-uzi-gbb-smg

Have been working on the pulse rifle , had some extra base plates 3D’ed for the spare mags , made a better sling for it , fitted sling mounts , got a PEQ for it(thanks to the awesome @Stratton Oakmont) and did a wee bit of ‘weathering’ as well , had wanted to send it to @GearTechto have a pukka job done but monies just too tight at the mo so had a bash me self !

How many psychoanalytic therapists does it take to change a lightbulb? Two: one to enthusiastically screw the bulb, one to firmly grasp the penis, sorry, I meant ladder....

How many goths does it take to change a lightbulb? None, they'd rather sit in the dark. I was walking home with my wife when we saw my mother in law being attacked by 6 men. "Aren't you going to help?!" asked my concerned wife. "Six ought to be enough" I replied.

CYMA + money for upgrades. Tokyo marui NGRS + money for mags.

I should make it clear, that's not me in the images.

Initial tests of the Lonex flash mags that arrived this morning are... good! They fit and feed fine in the Tippmann, they're a little tight in the Double Eagle (but that has a velcro shim to make my cheap old high caps fit nicely) but shoot perfectly, and they fit fine in the F2000 and the L85 as well... (though I can't test those as neither of them can actually pew at the moment)

Ahoy and welcome. Yes, it's a blast. Don't eat the BBs, even the tasty looking yellow 0.12g. Nothing wrong with any of those choices, and CYMAs are fine. They used to be regarded as cheap tat until folk realised that they're cheap because they make so many of them, not because they don't know what they're doing. You can pay a lot more for worse internals. How are you doing for batteries? The CYMA comes with a nimh, but I wouldn't invest any more money in that technology, either in batteries or chargers. Lithium based is the way to go now, either lipo, or li-ion, and we like the SkyRC S65 chargers.

True to the above, although I'd note that if the goal of "durability and reliability" is to reduce costs, that there's little point in replacing a part that isn't already worn or broken. The very cheapest mosfets cost more than multiple sets of trigger contacts. Unless you're running 11.1V (and even if you are) you're likely to relegate a starter AEG to a backup role before you burn out the contacts. And CYMA put plastic racked pistons into toys putting out 1.5J as stock. They won't strip straight away on stock gears and motors. So there's no need to really do anything other than sort the factory shimming and snot-grease lube. And even then, I've yet to buy an AEG with bad shimming, even the cheapest CYMA or Galaxy. Those Chinese child labourers know their business (if they want to eat).

Seems like it's still some stage this year. From looking at their facebook account, it seems to be coming along. Their display piece is closer to a finished product. This is at one of the MOA shows.

My advice is put the M90 back in and just play with it for a few games. Go and watch some upgrade video's on YT, so many great resources out there. Lot of people rush into upgrades but only end up breaking their only AEG. You say you want a DMR, would this be a 2nd AEG or are you planning on converting the CORE?

But only if it's not windy lol

First thing to do is get a chrono 🙄

Unless you're going for a dmr you'll want to test that on a chrono. An m115 spring is going to be hot, unless you have the leakiest gun in the land. Edit: and yes, get a chrono. It's the #1 thing you need when tuning your own gun.

Under £100! Which is pretty surprising for springy things that claim to be bang on 500-ish fps / 2.3J. Magazine availability looks quite patchy though. My pennies, yes, but in this case someone is looking to buy it for me as a *cough*tieth birthday present, so I might break my £140 record.

Why I will always wear and recommend lower face pro when airsofting. I've already spent too much time and pain on these teeth to deal with them being shot out.

LOL, no, October, the "great storm", fuck all great about it though 🤕

Something outside of the box? While not a perfect sniper out of the box, the KA SVD spring version is easily upgradeable via a super quick spring change & aeg compatible hop components, plus straight pull cocking. 🤔

LOL, I thought something similar one night back in '87, woke up looking at the stars😳. True story🤣

All very helpful, thanks guys.

I'm the same boat. I like my local site but the breaks and lunch hour (who needs an hour?) makes the day dull. I'm a milsimmer at heart but have non nearby. Just make the best of what you can with what you have.

I will

Look interest- "Weight: 6.100 Kg (with magazine)." 😲 Nah, I don't fancy mounting it on a gun carriage.

I've heard that the Silverback HTI has a really nice bolt pull due to the stupidly large cylinder volume. It's certainly one of those rifles that i'd really like to own one day and it seems to perform pretty well by all accounts.

No, they don't from what I've seen. Different OEMs. Black shell, looks a lot like an E&C.

agree, there seems to be this mythos that bad shimming=anything other than absolutely zero ability for any gear to move sideways ever not even 0.000000000000001nm but the reality is that as long as the gears can't move to a position where they interfere with themselves/other components and the bevel is in about the right place for the pinion then that's good enough. and you're right that whilst the people who build our toys might not put the care and attention into it that we do, but doing nothing but assemble gearboxes every single day they are at least pretty proficient, and they have to do at least an acceptable job to avoid returns. a basic mosfet won't, but the more advanced ones (gate warfet, perun ab++, gate aster/titan and perun optical) can do precocking, which does exactly that.

And expecting you to use some sort of retailer sorcery to tell him what muzzle energy he'd be seeing?

Check shimming, check for any snagging of moving parts (nozzle, piston, tappet plate), good neo magnets motor or brushless. Check and fix air leaks. Replace the piston if needed and every worn part. Done, really.

I used to use several old copies of AI magazine taped together in a plastic bag to keep moisture out, but later picked up a couple of the plastic dummy plates and found these more comfortable

I just broke off my engagement to the local baker. Charming girl but far too kneady.

I've JUST realised what's bugged me about this thread, all day since I saw it this morning. Couldn't put my finger on it at first. *arsehole

he should have sold it incl PayPal fees for the price advertised.

£18 walk on at adrenalin, £10 for members with No food (option to purchase after safety briefing). I think this is great value for a site of its size and the construction work. I looked on playairsoft yesterday to see what sites are in the south Yorkshire area (visiting) and the majority are asking for £30 walk on. I would be happy to pay between £1-30 for a std skirmish.

Totally changed design of some retention bungees I made a year or so ago. These can be used for cables, slings etc. Have a bit of adjustability too. I know you can use rubber bands, ranger bands etc. But since when do us Airsofters go with the simplest or cheapest solution? Haha

Not VFC, but just got this reply from King Arms.

I really rate replacing the solid cummerbund with an elastic one. I have done this on both of my warrior plate carriers. The integrated pouches are pretty useful for magazines, cleaning kit, radios, mars bars or anything not too bulky, IMHO they improve the comfort hugely, and you get a quick release 'tubes' to boot. They are also pretty cheep. https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005001639575631.html?spm=a2g0o.productlist.0.0.2bae3d20cAsCrc&algo_pvid=9a9e5fb1-3ac3-4c41-ae5d-9f5b64c51983&algo_exp_id=9a9e5fb1-3ac3-4c41-ae5d-9f5b64c51983-0&pdp_ext_f={"sku_id"%3A"12000024657800959"}&pdp_pi=-1%3B15.67%3B-1%3B-1%40salePrice%3BGBP%3Bsearch-mainSearch I managed to get an RG set and Multicam set for my two carriers, but can't find a link to multicam.
