have to say i agree here. at the risk of opening a can of worms I'm not sure how comfortable I'd be continuing to buy stuff from Russia given current events. I might like their kit on a technical level, but I don't want any part in supporting the present actions of their government, no matter how indirectly.

Y'all are thinking its something shady like out of his bedroom window in a built up area, it could just as easily be out of his mums corsa window when he went to meet the lads in Aldi car park. Our beloved hobby is safe.

"test fired 10 shots from my window" Tell me I'm not the only one who read this and thinks they shouldn't be allowed nea anything remotely gun shaped

Yeah but you get a 25p refund every time someone tells you they'll definitely come back to you on payday.

Don't forget the 40 or so into puddles on the walk to start point after briefing 😅

If you're up against the puffa jacketed teen terrors then 3 high caps will get you about 6 acknowledged kills...

I'm not you, but you're asking me so I say mid caps, 5 will get you 350 guaranteed kills, though deduct about 50 for the random plinking that's obligatory whilst waiting for the game to start. Still, 300 kills dude, that's enough, don't be greedy.

Had a great day at Reforger and even better to randomly meet so many AFUK members. Got to try out my new DMR by Luke of Negative Airsoft and had a blast in the morning with it performed excellently. Was fun going on the left flank having that little more range watching those bbs falling short and taking out the shooters until that other sniper/DMR would fire back ha ha. That's what you get trying to flank in the open I guess. Changed up for the afternoon to normal AEG again had a blast was some great fun. Though I did underestimate how many bbs I would go through and only just had enough spare on me in the field to resupply all but my highcap mag. Even went down to my pistol in the capture the flag game(defending). Though was great that I was able to to stop 2 captures with said pistol one with the last shot of magazine. Then was killled during mag change. The last game enjoyed the 25min rest we managed to have ha ha. How they didn't spot me on that final push I have no idea. But was a very enjoyable day and a great place to play as a sniper or DMR player as proved by the number of them who showed up. Oh by the way @Skullchewer that's a great pic of the AFUK patch in action you should get one😁

You can get rid of a lot of it by brimming the reservoir, covering the top with your thumb and shaking the mag to get the bbs to settle, and repeating that a few times until the bbs can't move at all. You can dive around all day and they won't make a peep until you start using it.

Just found out my brother in law is a mime artist! He kept that quiet.

Funny that people don't feel the same way about sending money to American or Chinese companies whenever their respective governments gun down a minibus full of kids, assassinate some journalists or harvest organs from prisoners. Nor for that matter did anyone seem to be all that bothered about buying Russian kit in the aftermath of Georgia and Chechnya. We've had a hand in demolishing a few countries ourselves in the last few decades. Let's not get carried away with framing this as a moral choice, or implying some kind of treason or direct contribution to whatever misery the Russian government is inflicting at this moment. If people want to draw a line with where they spend their own money then fair enough - personally I don't buy anything from Amazon, but I'm not going to judge people who do. On a practical level you'd have to be nuts to try and mail order Russian replica firearms parts at the moment. But it sounds like some people are a few newspaper headlines away from burning their cyma ak74s at the moment and it's all a bit silly and hypocritical imo.

Hard agree with the posters above. I'll not purchase anything from Russia or Belorussia now, most likely forever. As someone who mostly does Soviet WW2 airsoft, that does make getting good kit difficult as the main suppliers are either in Russia, Belorussia or Ukraine. But WW2 airsoft is a nicety that my friends and family who live under the Russian bombardments wish they could go back to. War is much nicer with toy guns.

To be fair, he does seem like more of a collector / displayer than a player. Maybe we could apply some of that Twatter/Google language policing to flag up the word "new" in any advert.

I raise you - Bellenden Gardens 😂😂

So many wasted kills 😂

OR just get two JG hi-caps for now start saving and then get the mids at a later date ?

I paid £299 for mine from Patrol base with mags at about £30 a go I deliberatly waited as I wasn't prepared to pay the £450 figures being asked by a couple of sites.

I was further behinds you but directly behind the objective I really blended in well with the tree I was behind in my blue top/grey trousers and sandy cap ha ha

Ha! As you well know, I've bloody tried, twice! Both times royal mail have apparently binned them. I've messaged Profink about trying for a third time. I did indeed, not as much as I'd have liked as I was too hot, and kept talking my helmet off, so I got lots of great footage of trees and grass, but the rest of it I pulled together what I could....

Oh, that's handy. 19.18mm + 2 x 2.46mm = 24.1mm. 👍 I've been getting on OK with generic 19mm / 2.5mm = 24.0mm o-rings, stretched out by popping them over the cylinder and then heating them a bit - you know, a fire-based ritual ceremony.

@RostokMcSpoons cylinder internal diameter varies quite a bit, from 23.6mm to 24mm. Recheck the seals on yours. Most problems stem from the piston head o-ring either isn't big enough or something is blocking the vents (not allowing the oring to be pushing out). A BS910 o-ring is slightly larger so grab one of those. The o-ring on the nozzle might make a small amount of difference but in my experience doesn't affect fps greatly, it's more there to keep the nozzle centered.

Yep there is. Just pm me for payment details.

As long as the wiring reaches the correct terminal and the doesn't foul the way the motor sits against the gears and box then you'll be fine.

From SWIT Airsoft.

L42a1 would be nice , Ares though so I’d only be able to sit and cradle it , staring across the horizon wondering what a working airsoft version would be like

Rattle mags irritate me. Heavy and loud.

Yeah. Right up until then. Handy.

With the caveat that you're limited by what's in stock, we've just been discussing that here: A further caveat, the plastic on <£100 CYMA M4s is quite toyish. Strong enough, mind, and the internals are sturdy, but it doesn't feel great. That may or may not matter to you, but if you go up to the £120+ mark, you'll get something that feels nicer (but will perform much the same).

Some Ukrainian guys that I know went home to fight when the invasion began; they are all still alive and doing their bit to defeat the Putinist fascists. I will not buy anything that even slightly benefits Russia until the country sorts itself out.

Thanks lads. I'm more of a single shot shooter and reserve full auto for 'panic mode' 😅 so should be OK.

Yep understood 👍 The charging handle component you did for me is still going strong.🙂 I will pm you. Thanks 👍

I've got hi's & mids for most of my guns, but unless an event is mag specific, I'll always go with 2 or 3 hi-caps rather than half a dozen mids, just makes life easier 😉

Niiiice. I've been after a unity style mount. Ready made are around £40. Are you making yours for sale? Regards

Exactly how I intend to use it. Cannot wait

Try this place for weird parts bud Is it this? https://airsoftspareparts.com/en/m249-parts/bullgear-cnc-hop-up-m249

With the caveat that I'm forever blasting the barricade because of sight-over-bore issues, for dynamic close range shooting, it does make a lot of sense. Keep the toy level at chest height and you'll hit a chest height - the sights are more for righty-lefty.

Hello, We upgraded the rubber to a 60' Maple and running on Abbey Predator Red can it hops and sends .32's a superb distance with scary accuracy at 1.1j Cheers

Myself and a bunch of others will be booking into this as it's my birthday weekend, Not sure whether we'll be Scavs or Bears at the moment.

I'd say CYMA or JG will give you best bang for buck in your price range. They're generally reliable and perform well enough out of the box so if you get one that doesn't seem right then talk to the retailer and possibly return it. Don't forget to budget for good eye protection, boots, Li-Po battery and intelligent charger.

hmm, that's not the type that i was thinking of (the one i had was obviously textured) might be worth checking the rear of the track anyway make sure it's clean and smooth. same goes for the cylinder/cylinder head combo, nothing wrong with that on paper (even matching brands which isn't even strictly necessary) you can split the compression check to see which component it is. piston+cylinder (use the palm of your hand over the end, you'll feel if air's leaking past your hand) once you know the pistons good just add the cylinder head and check, then if that's good add the nozzle. i'm thinking atm either piston o-ring or perhaps the nozzle-cylinder head (sometimes they can be off on size)

LOL This is the truth of our pastime 😂

Welcome. As concretesnail said, it doesn't matter which way around it sits. (It still spins in the same direction) Its all about the connector wires reaching the correct pin and there usually isn't much room to move them around.

Have the Ackchyually mob decided what's most technically correct yet? I see it can take 7.62mm as well with just a barrel change. Almost like... a modernised M14. Meanwhile, the Troy Industries CAR-14 never made it beyond Shot Show because nobody wants a heavy gun with a folding stock, 13" barrel, and 20 round clipazines with >5.56mm calibre rounds.

No one makes Lee Enfield's for years, now they all come at once haha. Although knowing Ares, they will probably charge like £600 for it..... Though the No4T sniper version is 😍

Hi, ALL! 👋 Here is part 6! 😁 Stable weather for the beginning of March, I do better in this part…. 🤪 Doing the best with what I have, enjoy it for what it is! 🔫😎👍 💷GAMBLE💷
