The body fits pretty well, I've had to take a little bit off it in certain places where it was very tight, still making adjustments to that but the first proper mock up looks decent. The round counter sets to 95 when the mag is in as it should. Small micro swith and circuit board fits into the top of the mag well. I've yet to solder up the sensor that should count it down as rounds are fired. This fits into the front of the outer garrel inside the triangular support. I've now added the stock to the mock up and that works fine (although it wont retract fully because of the angle ally on the upper) The gun cycles but sticks on the mag occasionally, this doesn't seem to happen outside of the body so when it's apart again I need to see if something is affecting the mag position slightly. It's very much a work in progress with lots of things to solve along the way and going to be a longish project but I think the cool factor when it's done will be worth it.

The OP thinks pointng out his kit is dearer than rrp but without any retailer associated support, is actually a personal attack on him lol, maybe he's a bit "woke" Anyway, £103 from a retailer or £120 from this guy.

You can always pay via Goods & Services, cover the fee yourself without letting them know, and then take it up with paypal if they did send you a lemon.

Approximately 30 members of the SAS were involved in the Iranian Embassy siege. So far I've met 1500 of them in pubs

... via methods with zero possibility of getting your money back if he posts you a literal lemon. Mind you, if he posts you a tomato, you're up on the deal.

Built this up from new last night 😁

That's it, make the rest of us look like arseholes😜

I did in a way. I asked him "What if an UKARA member had a real firearm. According to your logic they wouldn't bother responding because he was UKARA registered". He ignored my question.

Ask him what the police would do if they had a report about a man waving a shotgun around. Would they check if the address had a valid shotgun certificate and then not bother to turn up ?

How do you know if someone served in the army? He's gonna tell you. (Based on true story from last Sunday.)

A very special friend as he gave him a "hand" To stop this from being spam I'd better say my last game was at Ambush Airsoft near Cobham on the 12th and it was a great day, despite the MP5 battery dying 30 seconds into the last game. Still, I had lots of fun with the shotgun which got a few admiring looks and comments about it what it's like to be on the receiving end of it Hope it gets sorted soon. Despite what we may say in jest, your health and staying out of a forever box is more important than dicking about in the woods

If you're thinking MP5K (I was going to suggest that) then take a look at the galaxy ones. I run one as a primary and the only issues I've had have been down to me being an idiot. As above regarding upgrades. Don't even think about upgrades till you've taken the gun to a game as you may find nothing needs doing or you'll spend as much as the gun for only an extra few feet of range

While also having time to make all those chocolate bars

Ahoy and welcome back. We've seen those sites mentioned a few times, hopefully someone will chirp up. As you know, it's easy to make a new chum at airsoft: "Neat gun, mate", and you've got a friend for life.

Its a JG mate...had a few issues when it was first test fired but now chronos at a nice 270fps on .20 with hop set roughly at 20m which i wasnt expecting! Just need to get a few lipo aep batteries and an adaptor cradle for them and a drum mag

Temptation got the better of me and I bought some of the Guns Modify P-Mags for the MWS. Not tested beyond sticking some gas in to make sure they're tight, but they look the nuts and set the old girl off just right.

As my GBBR pulse rifle build seems to be of interest to a few I thought I'd do a build thread sort of thing. Bear with me , I dont do 'tech' so the order of posts and pictures might well be a bit random ! I'm starting with a WE Thompson that I've been gifted. It's seen better days and came a cropper when an hpa experiment went very wrong, however I should be able to sort it given time. The upper reciever has cracked in a couple of places so I've ordered a replacement. Untill that arrives i've done a very rough and ready strengthening job with some scrap angle ally. Looks a bit frankenstein, but will hold the upper together for now which means I can crack on and get everything mocked up then fit the repacement when it's in pieces for final prep and paint. What I started with Snow Wolf body kit, there are lots of bits in the box ! Very basic strengthening job to hold the upper together for now. You can just see the cracks. The puls rifle outer barrel mounts via an aluminium adapter, on the aeg this also mounts onto the hop unit extension. The holes on the side of the block take M3 bolts that also secure the front brackets to the body. I plan to drill and tap the botom of the block and secure it to the handguard extension on the tommy to help support everything although it seems pretty robust just bolted to the body. In order to hold the hop unit and inner barrel into the GBBR upper I chopped the mounting lug off the spare barrel that came with the Thompson. This them mounts and secures the hop / inner in the standard fashion. If I had access to a lathe I would have shortened and turned down the outer so it would fit the mounting block in the way the aeg one does.

Hi all, After a few years away, I have the itch again, you never really quit! I wonder if there is any local forum members that regularly play at Skirmish, Billericay, Essex? Or any of the local sites? Went a few weeks ago and had a blast, just wondering if there is anyone I can say hi to when I’m next there (likely this Sunday 5th March)? It’s a little boring on your own haha! Hopefully chat to some of you soon

You’re summing up is generally correct. The VCRA requires a ‘defence’ for the manufacture, sale or import of a RIF - but the offence committed under a sale would be by the seller (whether business or private) The UKARA is just a central register based on airsoft site ‘membership’ schemes, designed to protect retailers but has had processes for private sellers to request validation The border agency/customs and the police could call upon it ‘Gifting’ is an interpretation of the law - the law covers manufacture, import and sale - so can be interpreted that handing over a RIF with no remuneration is not a sale. I’m not aware of this being tested in law, but a barrister was commissioned to review legislation against paintball by the UKPSF and they were happy with the interpretation of the law for gifting (There are quite a few paintball guns that could be RIFs and there was a reliance for many years on the theory thus a paintball gun is a low power air weapon, which is a type of firearm under legislation and therefore a firearm would not be an IF nor a RIF - but that’s also not been tested in court) I try to stick to my sponsors wise words regarding both what I wave around in public and for general life As I have not yet been arrested or had my front door kicked in its worked much better than any databases (particularly as I’ve never been on a UKARA database) Silence is golden On a different tack I am aware of a very well known member of the old school paintball customisation community who built many airsoft based paintball customs long before the VCRA & UKARA were a twinkle in a politicians eye. He went through a dark period and decided to end it with suicide by cop and manufactured armed police response upon himself Had it not been for his ex also stepping in and reporting her concerns then it could have ended differently They did not choose to ignore the matter and did provide a full armed response team handling the matter very professionally The risk was still the same that they were face to face with an armed man, not knowing for certain what could be real or not

You are completly correct. I have a few RIFs, no UKARA atm. Doesn't matter if I have it or not though.

Welcome back! I am not local, but I play reasonably regularly at Airsoft Plantation and Tower Airsoft, both of which are in Billericay. Both are great sites that pull in a good group of players, Airsoft Plantation generally getting 150ish and Tower about 40-60. I am not playing this weekend, but am planning to try Skirmish on 12th March.

That's actually the way I ended up doing it. Glad I'm on the right track. The leak issues are not ideal pal. At least they seem like fairly easy fixes. Pretty sure I'll experience some form of that before long. Think I'll dig out some OD24 2mm o-rings, just in case! Is it silicone grease you've used or just oil? Incidentally I bought mine from Hong Kong. They were about £40 each and took about 10 days to get here. Shipping wasn't bad either, so may go back for more.

Oh yeah, I literally have no idea what he's thinking charging over RRP. Once you've bought it and try to resell, used or not, it knocks cash off

I am insulted! I've worked hard for decades to become one. (Although I agree that target shooting = airgun, not airsoft)

True, but the webtex concealment vest has veggie loops on so if I was on a small budget I'd get one of those for about £40, then a pair of old surplus trousers for about £10 to shred and then some raffia for another £10 and add a bit of volume, and then use natural veg on the day. £60 ghillie that will work well

Yes No I could do that, indeed. Good ol' Ak2m4 is digging out some tiny springs for me, so I might well get the this one working though. I definitely see merit in ditching the ambi selector - it adds some rattle and slack to the system that I could do without.

You mean we're not all arseholes? To the OP, if you're wanting to do target shooting at range you'll get better results with an air rifle. Not only would it be cheaper but the gun will be far less likely to shit the bed at those power levels and accuracy will be better (there's a reason real steel guns switched from smoothbore and balls to rifled barrels and bullets)

Hi bud and welcome back to the fold 👍 As you say,you never really give up, just resting.🙂 I'm sure there will be some members that play that site that you will meet up with. Enjoy your comeback and may the hits be with you. Regards

I would like to buy this SCP-90, please contact me

Yep had a lad come to me to ask for help with his brand new TM Scar L that had just "stopped working" (hint he had fired 82 bbs)

First mock up with the GBBR thompson. The base gun needs work yet to get it running properly, but fits OK Ammo counter resets when mag in

The stockless Cyma's are thin on the ground at the mo, but the pdw variant is available, run as is or just change the stock for an end cap. Alternatively pay a little more & get TM's version...... https://www.airsoftdb.com/search/?q=Cyma+Mp5k&r=uk&s=t Why talk about upgrades before you even own one, most brands are competent & will hold their own in all but the longest engagement distances.

Aww friend... airsoft friend.

As above, mp5k is awesome, & there's loads of options for securing them, real steel & Airsoft. If your adamant on a battery powered sidearm option, the K is the most versatile out there.

Al, As requested :-)

Hope your friend pulls through his situation dude. Financial awareness is something that is severely lacking from our education system, coupled with susceptibility to peer pressure and you have a very dangerous concoction. Thankfully for us we have reached peaked space constraints now, so no more pews after this evenings' acquisition. Now I just wish my customers would collectively pay the tens of thousands I'm owed so I can pay everyone else LOL. This game is a good release for both me and the boy from the day to day grind, and I hope it remains thus for everyone else. As you say, it's only a game, do no more than you need to have fun playing it; and balls to everyone else who try to make it otherwise.

New scope to replace the one I bent!

So an update. The British collection so far. Law 66 L115A1 (Aw338) L100A1 (G3A4) L85A2/L123A2 l85A2 TES L128A1 (M1014 shotgun) L74A1 (870 shotgun) L91A1 (MP5 SD) L7A2 GPMG L108A1 (MK1 Minimi) L1A1 SLR Colt model 715 (C7) L119A1 SFW L119A1 CQB L92A1 (MP5 A3 embassy seige) L131A1 (Glock 17 gen 4) L105A2 (P226R) L9A1 (Browning HI Power) L85A2 (3 Para 2008) Colt model 725 (C8) L105A1 (P226 non railed) L22A2 L86A2

Diemaco collection. Model 715 (C7) Model 725 (C8) L119A1 Sfw L119A1 cqb Both L119's are still WIP. So I know there's a few errors.

Finally got my Speedcat slide back from the anodiser

haha if you'd asked me a while back I would've agreed! I thought they looked like someone stuck one of those small hotel soap bars in the triggerguard. I think continuing to look at them a lot made them grow on me. Or it could be that the disgust/trauma from seeing it made me grow affectionate of them; kinda like Stockholm syndrome😂 It seems to be a recent tacticool fad but they do present some practical value as it provides a consistent trigger "press" even if the finger isn't perfectly centered on the trigger More pics to flip you as well

I think the Cow Cow grip with the trigger undercut and flat trigger matches with the "tactical" look of the slide. All three options look pretty cool though Flat triggers look good on tactical 1911's as well!

Well I got an unexpected Christmas present, as I won a FB comp from one of our advertisers Airsoft competitions. Entered it in October and forgot all about it Christmas Eve got message saying I had one. Being sent to me on Tuesday. Looking forward to it.
