WE M14 EBR , a work in progress which I think may never end , but still the coolest GBBR I’ve had the pleasure of owning

Thanks to much awesome and superbness from @rocketdogbertI have my Vector Optics Frenzy RDS on my TM FNX45

Basic Bitch R28 now with added Surefire Warden Can (clone obvs) Probably going to take a punt on these come payday to spruce up the sights ..... https://a.aliexpress.com/_mrXWbZ8

thankyou , the Eotech wasn’t too bad and only a the lower 1/4 ( ish ) of the sight picture was obscured but was in actual fact just a stand in for getting the hop set up , it’s now ready for phase two for some longer range zeroing

25 years ago I had a front tooth shattered, since then I've been through implants, serial infections causing incredible pain, two sets of dentures and probably thousands of pounds worth of dental work. It's something I'm conscious of nearly every day. I don't want it to be my BB that puts someone else through that, any more than I want one of my BBs popping someone's eyeball. My lower face pro is probably the most comfortable part of my rig and if anyone is on the fence about face pro or thinks it's unnecessary, I'd urge you to reconsider. There's nothing at all macho or manly about not being able to chew food properly for the rest of your life.

Had my vision king kicking about since before lockdown. Got a mount for it sorted now.

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 !

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

It would be doing God's work.

On the topic of MoA I managed to get a few details from someone who is there and has been talking to the VFC reps. Current thinking is a release sometime around July (I have little faith in that bit unfortunately) the price has also been aimed at 19800 TWD which is around £530 plus tax at current exchange rates. Materials wise it sounds like it's mostly steel, including the bolt however, interestingly they've chosen not to apply the full trademarks to keep costs down. All in all it sounds fairly promising and definitely a rif that I'll be trying to get my hands on when they do come out 😏

Tomorrow's arsenal

Would it be wrong to give them the 419 eater treatment? Link for those who don't know what I mean https://www.419eater.com/

How many therapists does it take to change a light bulb. One, but the lightbulb has to really want to change...

No. There's a review out there with pictures in french where the internals are not m24 compatible as they said. It's a 45 degree proprietary firing system. It looks cool af and I still want one. But for practicality, best avoid unless you can make custom parts yourself.

Told me that I guy he knows had the Inoksatu Sig 29 pistol that I am looking for, and gave me his email address. So I emailed him & got a reply next day. He wanted to know where I was located, which I ignored. I asked for photos & a video of the pistol being shot. He sent me two pictures, one of an Inoksatu Colt series 70, and one of a Inoksatu 1911A1, both taken at trade shows by the look of it. I emailed back and said your obviously a dumb arse scammer, and then blocked his email. I have pasted on the original guys user name to Jedi Master.

Yep, I have a bog standard AK (CM 0.42) and now this. They will be kept absolutely bog standard. The 47 is a but sluggish but I think 7.4 lipos would help rather than NiMh. Will try that later. Chrono-ed last night and was consistent at 335-345fps on .2s (ugh!) at 1.1j. Probably run .25s on these but see when I can get on a range next weekend

Got to be honest I don't get not wearing full face, to me it's as nuts as not wearing eye pro. Had enough dental pain and cost in my life that I just don't understand why you would put yourself in a position where you could get your teeth shot out. Probably an unpopular opinion but I think full face should be compulsory.

If it works it ain’t stupid ! 😉

Hello all. Might be further slimming down my collection but now moving on to the more uncommon stuff. I am NOT looking for offers via PM. I am NOT looking to sell right now. I am purely looking for Appraisals. I have A Real Sword T97 and Real Sword T97B both in good condition with minor wear marks and scuffs. Both include the original boxes (Somewhat dog eared), paperwork, Mag and Accessories (Bar the tube style mid cap loader on the T97). Both have only been fielded a couple of times each. Both have been upgraded on all the non proprietary parts. Both have the optional original scope rail mount. I have additional brand new Real Sword parts for some of the more proprietary gear box stuff, a spare gearbox shell and motorcage, Pistons, Anti reversal Latches etc. Both are running around 1 Joule. The Quick change spring can make light work of changing the power output. Real Sword T97 Castellan Neodymium High Torque Motor Prometheus Purple Bucking Nitrile Piston Head O-Ring XCortech Mosfet Plus ZCI 450mm Inner barrel Real Sword T97B RA/SHS Neodymium 16TPA Green High torque motor Xcortech Mosfet Plus Replaced Piston Head O-Ring Macaron 50 degree rubber and nub ZCI Barrel (Cant recall the length) We all know how difficult these are to get hold of, no brand new ones to my knowledge out there. These are some of the highest quality externals that can be find on a bullpup rifle. What sort of price realistically should I be asking for?

Double Eagle B&T ACP 556 let’s start off with a little real steel history about the B&T APC. Brugger and Thomet from Switzerland also known as B&T produced the first Advanced Police Carbine (APC) in 9mm in 2011 followed shortly by other small arms calibre’s in .40 S&W, 10mm auto and .45 ACP. They have been awarded a contract with the US Army to provide the ACP9K for a reported $2.6 million dollars. Around 2019 B&T started to sell the ACP556 which is a 5.56mm version of the smaller 9mm ACP. The ACP556 can be bought with 4 different styled stocks and a couple of different barrel lengths. All use standard Stanag 5.56mm magazines and can be fitted with various rail accessories on the picatinny rails covering the gun. Moving on to the Airsoft version produced by Double Eagle and licensed from B&T we have a pretty accurate AEG with full trades. The features include a Falcon gearbox with built in mosfet (the same gearbox in their DE904 range which I reviewed a while back), 6.04mm tightbore barrel, quick change spring and comes with the PDW style retractable stock. The AEG is full metal apart from the polymer lower, stock butt pad and the side mounted picatinny rails on the front sides of the AEG. Most of the metal seems to be aluminium and die cast zinc. With an empty magazine attached the AEG weighs about 2.9kg (6.4lbs) so not heavy weight or lightweight either. I’ll talk about the box that the ACP is shipped in first before moving on to the actual AEG. The box is quite a nice little addition. It’s made from polystyrene and is foam lined. Inside the box you actually get a couple of handles to fit to the outside and it turns into quite a nice little carry case. It’s very light and unlikely to survive getting run over by a tank but I’d like to see other manufacturers doing something similar. The box ever has 4 catches to keep the box closed and these work well. Inside the box you will find the AEG, a copy of the B&T magazine and in this case a 180bb midcap. You will also find some paperwork telling you how to program the mosfet, attached the handles to the case and an exploded diagram of all the parts of the AEG. Also inside the box is the handles for the box plus a screwdriver to use to fit them, a deans to mini-tamiya converter, a spare deans for your battery and an Allen key. Let’s not forget the cleaning rod. Lets move on to the AEG itself. It has no creaks, wobbles or loose bits but lets start from the muzzle and work back. The flash hider is zinc cast and attached to the aluminium barrel with a -14mm thread and held in place with a grub screw that needs a 1.5mm allen key to remove. Once removed you can see that the inner barrel extends to the end of the outer barrel. The fake gas plug rotates 90 degrees’, just like the real thing if you were running a suppressor and if you rotate it 180 degree’s it can be removed from the gun. This serves no real purpose and I think DE missed a trick here as they could have had a 4.5mm Allen key in the end of the rod to remove the cap for the quick-change spring. The upper receiver is full metal and has picatinny rails along the whole top length, the whole lower portion before it meets the lower receiver, and the sides have plastic picatinny rails attached. The Iron sights are a copy of the B&T sights and move in elevation on the front and windage on the real as per the real thing. The rear also has 2 apertures for day/low light shooting The charging handle or cocking handle, whatever you prefer to call it, is swappable from left to right side. When pulled back the bolt locks in place to allow the rotary hop wheel to be adjusted and can be released by the ambi bolt lock. The magazine release and fire selector controls are also ambi. The fire selector controls have nice solid click to them when moved and the shape reminds me of the G36 fire controls. The upper and lower receiver have authentic markings, just like the real thing and there seems to be a serial number printed on the lower handguard but I’m not sure if this is unique. The lower receiver is solid and comfortable to hold and all the controls are within finger or thumb control. The pistol grip houses the motor and has a brass adjustment screw in the bottom if you feel the need to adjust the motor height. Moving to the back of the AEG we have the sliding stock and battery storage. The sliding stock is one of the 4 styles that can come with the real ACP556 and works very well. There is very little wobble when fully extended and can be pulled out with one hand and locked into 1 of the 3 available positions. The battery compartment is a nice touch. You press a lever on the back of the receiver and the cover flips up to reveal the battery compartment and the quick-change spring location. Inside is a deans connector and I have fitted a 11.1v Lipo inside without issues. The quick change spring is covered by a cap that needs to be removed using a 4.5mm Allen key and this allows the bearing spring guide to be removed using a flat headed screwdriver. Once removed you can swap out the spring for your desired FPS. Moving onto using the AEG I’ll mention first that mine is firing hot. I’ve got a M90, M95 and M100 winging their way to me now so that I can find the best spring to get it firing sub 350 FPS. I’m a bit of a fan-boy for the Falcon gearbox and this AEG is no exception. It fires really nice with a 11.1V Lipo and it has the same programmable settings which I raved about in the DE904 review. If you missed that review then out the box it has 3 trigger pull settings, variable burst settings (1 to 5 rounds or full auto) and has a Binary trigger. A binary trigger is when you pull the trigger backwards it fires and when you release the trigger it fires again. You don’t need any fancy boxes or app’s to set it up as it’s all done by the trigger. I’ve put a few magazines through the AEG now (more on magazines in a sec) and it hasn’t missed a beat. If you have used the DE904 then it’s basically one of those but in a different shell. I’m pretty happy with it to be honest and I’ll test out the range and accuracy with weekend. The Hop unit seems to be a plastic copy of the Pro-Win CNC hop up and works well. The hop rubber seems to be a cut down version so if you want to replace it you will need to remove some of the replacement to fit properly inside the hop unit. The inner barrel is 318mm long, with a 6.04mm inner diameter and has a conical cut in the last 10/15 mm of the sharp end of the barrel. I haven’t decided if I’m going to replace the hop rubber and inner barrel and this weekend I’ll see if they need to be swapped out. Okay, time to move on to the one negative I could find on this AEG. It’s not massive but needs to be mentioned. I’ve tried 11 different magazine makes/types and 8 work flawlessly, 1 takes a bit of fiddling to seat correctly but then works and 2 of them don’t stay in the magwell. The 2 that don’t work are midcaps. One is a PMAG with a capacity of around 85 and the other is a Midcap with a capacity of 120 rounds. Other midcaps fit and work perfectly. Strangly, I have a 85 midcap which looks exactly like the 120 midcap and it works and fits fine unlike the 120 version. I need to do a bit of measuring to figure it out, but I think it’s to do with the hop unit nozzle pushing down on the magazine and stopping the mag catch from engaging. For me, it’s not an issue as I have plenty of magazines that work in the AEG but you need to consider this if you think about buying one as you might need to buy some more magazines if the ones you have don’t work. I’ll add some more info to this review once I’ve used it in anger this weekend. Overall I’m happy with this AEG and it stands out from the M4 crowd.

This has probably been discussed but im just to thick to look for it. What would be the best bore for a DMR mancraft build?? Im currently on 6.03 and it seems ok, but I reckon some people have been up and down the bores and have the answer. Any help is good help. Thanks for reading

Really Really Really REALLY don’t like optics on guns BUT must say fairs fair that does look sweet as , think for me it’s still looking like a nice simple practical gun , obviously not a fan of race guns with all the silly bells’n’whistles on them either ! 😳

To be honest I run mostly 11’s in all my cyma guns , I’m a single shot type player near all the time but I do like the ‘buurrrp’ you get on auto when needed ? 😇

Shamal remembers seeing them, back in the day🤣 (retreats to my improvised nbc shelter awaiting the abuse😬) PS my mate, black Trinidadian, got married in a kilt, no one said a word ....... other than the state of his legs lol🦵🏿

My mate at UKFOB has just chucked another 10k order in with Nov, so that may be an option. I'm at Anzio with him tomorrow, so if I remember, I'll ask if he's got any on his order! I'm assuming they'll be a few Nov snipers on the order as well so you may have an option there. I won't tell anyone if you order one, I promise! 😂

Always a catcher of the unaware

I see White Guy Dreadlocks, I hit the "Call the Cultural Appropriation Police" button.

Had mine since release , like most I’ve only plinked with it due to lack of mags but I was lucky enough to catch some stock at Impulse101 just after Christmas and snagged a couple more , it was sporting the VFC lighted handguard but now the RAS

Thank you both for unclarifying.🤣 Mcspoons, do you have the video link?

The scout is great, had it for a few months but only managed to game with it a couple of times so far. Out of the box it's very good, but there's a few small & easy things to do to make it better without spending loads. I've put heat shrink on the spring guide to remove some noise on firing, and installed a modify h nub to let it lift heavier ammo easier. (I use 0.45s) Other than that it's good to go as is. Bolt pull is light & smooth at full power too.

I had a play with the Steyr Scout a few weeks ago and it was lovely! Very short and light! The marshal only had 0.4's in it at the time but they flew! I believe Mustang has been using one totally stock for his last few videos as well. Worth a look for sure. Downside is the proprietary mags.

Starting to put together my sci fi loadout.

That's superb. The drink can silencer just sets it off.

Welcome .

Not moaning, when it happened I was more like " Ah well... Lesson learned".

For diggin' an' killin'

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.

I changed a light bulb on my own yesterday it was easy. I kept the receipt so no problem...🤭

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

Or is that “don’t let the pussy out of the gimp sack !” ?🤔

Welcome 🖐 There's always a learning curve and more gear to buy. LiPo batteries and intelligent charger are good long term investments. Lots of info in this forum.

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

They're yellow-snow flavoured. Nimh works, and is less explodey than lithium. It's just old technology with a high self-discharge rate and lower power delivery.

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 😳

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.

What planet are you from ? That ‘custom’ paint job alone makes it worth that much ! 🤦‍♂️

Wider generally offers more stable flight, tighter gives higher FPS. As you're running a mancraft you'll have volume for days so go wide. Orga 6.23? I personally run a PDI 6.05 in everything I have.
