As @Tommikkasaid, there is probably a moral question here too? Are you knowingly attempting circumventing of sanctions just to scratch an itch?

From my experience dealing with Luke a couple of years back, also for an M14 funnily enough, I contacted him, said what I was looking to achieve and what my budget was. He was great at keeping in contact, and the guy works some serious hours. He will do what you want to achieve without pushing you to spend more, and let you know how much of your budget you have left before doing any further work. He films everything as well, not just for his channel, but to send to customers so they can see what's being done. He was superb, hugely knowledgeable, customer focused and, above all, has integrity. Drop him a line with what you want to do and spend, and he'll say yay or nay.

(For context I run a DE M908A as a DMR, with plenty of upgrades to it, shooting 0.40g and have used ZCI plastic hop units in DE M908A's + M904E's + M906C's) I've bought quite a few ZCI plastic M4 / AR15 hop units and they're substantially better than the stock DE ones. The plastic is way stronger, the arm is better (especially if your stock arm is the one that retains the odd DE figure of 8 rubber nub), the pin holding the arm in place is metal and not flimsy plastic like the DE one. Pair it with a Maple Leaf Macaron bucking and an Omega nub and you're good to go (make sure the Omega nub is absolutely dead center). As Speedbird said the ZCI metal unit offers zero benefit over the plastic one. Also, from my perspective, the only reason to go with a hop unit even more expensive than the ZCI plastic if if you need to hop VERY heavy BB's and get into things like r-hop.

Finally back in stock .. been waiting a while to get my hands on one of these, and I’ll be pacing about until it arrives! ?

Just get clones, at this rate it’s not worth the hassle or funding the Russian economy even if it is pennies.

Finally got my first proper gun ( other than glock converted with roni kit ^^ ) HK33 by LCT EBB Steel throughout, heavy, chunky, you literally do not need any ammo to kill with it xD, however right out of the box was rather disappointing so I got some parts and sat down on it this weekend. Changed parts: Hopup chamber maxx models Piston head double oring maxx models Cylinder head double oring maxx models Nozzle double oring maxx models 6.02 590mm barrel maple leaf Rubber Super macaroon 60* maple leaf M120 non-linear spring prometheus I am running it with gate aster v2 SE and 11.1 LiPo 3 cell. It works way better than before, all fits well but I am still not happy with fps, as I am using it as DMR I want as close to 450 with .02 as possible. Currently 350 with .28 :(((( I am waiting for stainless steel cylinder from maxx and warhead brushless motor and will experiment with PDI spring 260%. Any ideas how to increase range and accuracy are very, very welcomed

My very recently purchased M18 with clone X300U, M17 extended mag, RMR and Talon Grips (I’ve also ordered some Talon Material to make the cut outs in the mag match the grip)

Thanks! It is a TM G17 Gen 3 base, currently stock internals. - GKTactical ARK 17 slide for TM G17 - EMG Strike Industries P80 lower frame for TM G17 Gen 3 - JDG Floyds magazine extension pad (increases gas/bb capacity) - Aliexpress special SI Mass Driver compensator and recoil rod/stronger spring (attaches to the recoil rod like the real one, whereas the EMG/G&P prebuilt is attached to the barrel threads) - Crappy red dot that has now been replaced - Forgot the trigger but pretty generic - SOTAC(?) clone Inforce APL Thank you! G17 Gen 3 as a base. Just got a Dytac SLR MWS kit too, but I am also feeling for a normal MWS, so not sure if I'll keep it Cheers, appreciate it ?

It says 'collection only'. Perhaps he is trying to put people off by saying £50p&p?

In almost all hop units, metal bodied or otherwise, the parts that interact with the hop nub are plastic - there are (very expensive) brands like Maxx that are all-metal but they are the minority. ZCI Plastic and Metal versions use the same plastic parts. Only the body of the hop unit differs.

Back in the day used to play a site that ran Pump & Pistol games before lunch on a skirmish day. There was an area of dense ferns that was ideal for close in games.

Can I ask what sort of money he charges? I realise he caveats his own videos very heavily and says he won't give quotes before the work, but I need to have some idea of what I can expect to spend... I've got a couple of guns I'd like him to fix, primarily my piston-eating F2000 but also maybe the Tippmann - does he do HPA? Or if he could make my currently stock M14 a beast, that'd be cool. I'm actually nervous of handing over the F2000, he will probably rip the absolute piss out of my shim on the COL, on the trigger, my attempt at shimming the gears, my choice of components, my first paint job on a gnu etc etc etc ad infinitum. And then stick it in a video for everyone else to laugh at, in perpetuity.... I might not be able to live with the public shaming

You remove the rear sight and the front portion on the new rail top receiver acts as attachment point, by take the place of the rear sight. I believe that style of top receiver cover is based on the AK dog leg rail, an American design I think but don't quote me on it. So you could look on YouTube possibly for a better visual guide on how to install it.

Don't equate metal to reliability. Personally I would be going for The ZCI plastic unit as it is a really popular and cost effective choice.

I don't want politics here and I am completely neutral on the situations going on. I have bought quite a few gears and trophies captured from Ukraine, while I've also placed orders from Russian shops like Grey and Kula. But you are making the point, not the best choice to buy from them now so I'll most probably pass it

Yes but you don't want to. there is Electric Blow Back (EBB) and there is recoil. Both are a gimic but EBB is just an arm attached to your charging handle that just makes it cycle when you shoots. there is no felt recoil .it will require you changing the gear box casing which is weaker than the standard gearbox. Recoil is where there is a built in counter weight which creates recoil, only TM, Bolt, LCT and KWA make Recoil guns. Firesuport sell a LCT V3 AK recoil gearbox. no idea if it's drop in but it's £330 for the gearbox.

dam that pistol rocks, would love to know the full build parts etc ?

Scratch build Maynard rifle built from steel. Fires madbull shells. Real thing was a civil war breech loaded rifle used by the confederacy. Heat and oil blued.

A man finishes work on Friday then goes to the pub with his mates and doesn't come home till Sunday evening. Naturally his wife isn't happy and asks how he would like it if he didn't see her for 3 days. "Fine by me" he replies Monday he didn't see her, Tuesday he didn't see her then Wednesday evening the swelling round his eyes went down

They’re not the same thing bud. You’re linking EPMs, commonly available and still in production. They’re selling Pmags, absolute hens teeth and long since discontinued.

Would love to see the source for where you’re finding these new and in stock at that price. Are these a little overpriced at the going rate? Probably. Enough to be in Mack’s? Probably not.

Went to the doctor with a suspicious-looking mole. He said they all look like that and I should have left him in my garden

This, tbf. I can hold my ground against r-hop bois in my club with properly set up guns and (Super) Macarons

Just had a full rebuild done by negative airsoft. I now wouldn’t use anyone else. I have rebuilt my own rifs for years as had 2 “techs” from shops work on them (ruin them) when I first started the rabbit hole of airsoft. I simply can’t be bothered to do it anymore and frankly having seen and now used his work I wouldn’t recommend anyone else. A decent air seal, correct air volume and a maple leaf hop rubber with nub means it now throws bbs at 1 joule as far as any of my r/s hop patch rifs ever has.

Getting back into airsoft after about a 13 year gap

Not fully complete yet. But almost there. My 14.5

New long gun

What do you call a dog that can do magic? A Labracadabrador

My first build in ages. And yes, it’s a boring build. But I do love a clean, tacticool glock. Based on a TM G17 gen3. Upper: Guarder custom alu slide UAC Ultra lightweight BBU V.2 DP 135% nozzle return spring Guarder steel threaded outerbarrel 108,5mm Laylax powerbarrel 6.00mm AIP Steel recoil guide rod Lower: Guarder new gen frame Guarder steel slide lock and extended slide stop Guarder series number tag set GM stainless steel pins PTS Zev extended mag release Cowcow 140% hammer spring Cowcow Tactical G trigger TM magwell

Did a test last week of ASG’s full gas range through my stock MWS for science so you don’t have to. Devil Blaster .25 with hop set for .25 23c on all 4 magazines measured with a digital thermometer.

I went to an Alcoholics Anonymous meeting last night. Anonymous, yeh right! I knew everyone there!

Dear Zod, man, those are absolutely BEAUTIFUL! Good work!

The MWS came out nice! Is the G17 a Gen 3 or 4 base?

Strike Industries TM MWS completed(?) Might experiment with a small red dot or something, but I can't see it changing much more than that. Started in March last year! Time flies. Love how it turned out. To match, also built a Strike Industries TM G17 (decided to not go with the EMG/G&P prebuilt one in the end). Waiting on a nicer red dot to arrive, but God knows when that will be. Make quite a nice pair!
