Work in progress, BRT CAR15-SD 300 blk replica. This gun encompasses all the best bits of various guns imo; Its a sub-gun / PDW - my fave size. MP5SD vibes - just love MP5s. Retractable stock - again MP5. AR controls - ergonomics. 20rd mags - easy to shoot when prone. 300 subsonics - cool as F in real steel.

New MWS build. I've been startingly original and daring in building another URG-I, but in long boi flavour, to join its schtumpig sibling (points if you get the film reference there!) Mostly HAO and Magpul externals, with a couple of BavTac bits inside; Zet plate, nozzle spring and hop nub. I've put a waaaaay too long description of the parts and the build experience in the MWS thread because clearly I had too much time on my hands when I was on leave.

In the centre ( around the black dot ) was a 10 shot zero at 40mtrs with a .177 air rifle . all the bb strikes was a 40mtr zero with this ?

in my experience that’s airsoft and plastic balls not the optics .

finally rattlecanned the Mk12

UPDATE.... Arrived and although the packaging had been devastated everything was present and in good condition. Thanks for the info all

30-50mm groupings at 25m? My MWS shooting 0.32g BBs makes a ~30mm grouping at 10m and is considered a pretty accurate and consistent RIF. Certainly able to make head&shoulders shots at 45m (verified) and upper body shots further than that if the target has the decency to stand still ? I have the red dot pretty much spot on for 15-30m (closer the person is a much bigger target and can use reflexive shooting and further is a bit of a crap shoot with wind / leaves / walking targets! Getting that level of grouping at 25m without it being an air gun with rifled barrel and lead pellets? Yeah....no.

yeah ,quoted airsoft meters is usually twice real meters in my experience ?

Have a look at some of the AATV clips on YouTube for an idea on what to expect on group sizes with different weight BBs. Exactly. It's people not knowing the difference between maximum effective range and maximum range. Also, 70 airsoft metres is usually between 40 and 50 actual metres.

This. The number of people I've seen with "my AEG can shoot 70m" then I watch them fail to hit a target accurately at 50m... If you can get accurate 50m, you'll be set

Tried it with a different battery? I think it would be best to connect a Deans LiPo and see, might be an issue with the Mini Tamiya adaptor.

Easier way is to buy a new spring. Cutting springs can work fine also but can lead to other issues. I made a handy chart on my website on the XT springs that should give you an idea of where to start. Some AEGs come short stroked from new, some super short inner barrels. Lot of variables which affect power.

sadly you are expecting too much if you want those size groupings at 25mtrs from a standard AEG & holosight .

If your gun has a quick change system simply buy a new spring, somthing like a m100 or m90 and replace it, if you know the model and make of your rif do a quick google and find how to replace the spring with your specific gun, i reccomend ak2m4 but other sites are available

That definitely sounds like the problem isn't the sight. How big are the groupings you're getting at the moment? How new is the gun? If it's new then it might be a case of simply cleaning the barrel as they often come with loads of grease and gunk in them

Tokyo Marui MWS SOCOM URG-I Build Having started purchasing parts in February, having had some time off last week, I finally got round to building her. Parts list: · Tokyo Marui MWS M4A1 Carbine base · HAO Mk16 13.5” handguard · HAO SOCOM Daniel Defense 14.5” outer barrel · HAO Surefire 4-prong flash hider · HAO Geiselle low profile gas block · HAO Geiselle Ultra Precision trigger guard · HAO Geiselle Super Precision 1.93” scope mount · HAO SF 556 SOCOM suppressor (hardcore version) · Angry Gun Geiselle Airborne Charging Handle · Magpul K2+ grip · Magpul M-LOK hand stop · Magpul SL Stock · Magpul BAD lever · BavTac Magic Hop Nub · Bavtac Titanium Zet Plate · BavTac 140% nozzle return spring · Vortex Crossfire II 1-4x 24 scope · WADSN metal NGAL · Element Surefire M600C Scout light · Blue Force Gear padded VCAS (Olive Drab) · Blue Force Gear QD sling swivel x2 The build took a bit longer than I anticipated for a couple of reasons, mainly removing the trigger box to install the BavTac Zet plate. What an absolute bastard to remove and it took an age. In the process I also managed to dislodge one of the sear springs, so I had to open the trigger box to re-seat it. Fitting the HAO rail was more troublesome than I remember when I installed the 9.3” version. Getting one of the bolts to slide through the groove on the barrel nut wasn’t as slick this time. The rest of the externals were fine, standfast the trigger guard, which needed material removing to fir properly. This was slightly annoying/disappointing as HAO are usually ninjas with their products. Anyway, a few minutes filing got it fitted nice and flush. Apart from the Zet plate, hop nub and nozzle return spring, the gun has stock internals. Out of the box, on ASG Ultrair, the gun was pinging .28s out to 60m at around 1.1j, with the effective range being around 50-55m. Range and power-wise, it’s still in the same ballpark as out of the box, with the GM Pmags giving a 5-8 fps increase, adding barely noticeable increase to the power output. Using heavier ammo though, wow! Using .32s it was getting to the 70m mark with loads of adjustment left on the hop. However, accuracy was all over the place, with BBs pinging every which way with no consistency. Tearing the front end down again, the hop rubber and hop chamber were covered in silicon oil. Rookie mistake! Hoping that’s solved it because when they flew straight it was awesome. So, what’s good and what’s bad about the latest addition to my arsenal? The good; well, it’s an MWS! It works and works and works. The BavTac Zet plate is awesome, with the bolt catching every time, even with the Guns Modify Pmags, and the MHN is a serious contender for the SixG brass nub. The finished gun, although fairly commonplace, also looks incredible IMHO. The bad? Apart from the hop/silicon debacle, not much more than the suppressor really. I made a huge mistake getting the hardcore version. It’s beautifully finished and the QD system is great, compared with the Angry Gun version I have. It’s just too damned heavy though at 525g. I really should have bought the standard version. How I’ll feel lugging this around an airsoft field tomorrow I don’t know, but I’m chuffed with the result! URGI Build.mp4

No need to feel bad about how often you play, especially if you have other commitments like work or family. Anyone who expects others to make slinging plastic their main priority over more important things like family or being able to pay bills is simply a cunt

Does the rifle group without optics ? as above , set your hop for the heaviest bb you can lift , work out where your groups open up , fit optics and set the zero a bit before that range . so if it groups say .28bb at 30mtrs , I’d probably set the optic up for 20mtrs . but it’s airsoft , wind , bushes and airsoft mean most of it is moot .

one cheeky bastard using my specna. break it and ill find away to whoop your arse from 6000 miles away.

I've been using geoffs .3 tracers and found them very good. Outdoor and tactical is where I usually find them. The website is a bit jankie but get the filter to just display tracers and pop up.

Used but "not used it for a while" so selling "as new" No mention of manufacturer for all the accesories "Very rare" this and that Can't even be bothered to wipe the dust

A tenner & a pack of jelly babies is my offer.

Casually walked into this thread and now I really fancy one of those Zion PW9s.

Really depends on how they rated their madbull m100 springs, I think they rate them with 0.25g. They do give a kg rating though which is pretty useless. For the XT springs grab a M100, then you can always adjust from there once tested

IIRC a 50mm or smaller grouping of 5 shots on the 25m range was the pass mark for the basic weapon handling course

Couple of years old, I know, but more work has been going on the last few weeks, with moving a Zil to their Exeter site to make room for an open top double decker in it's place, will be ready to use in morning, cut back a lot of Rhododendron bushed, opening up more lines of sight into game play areas, other things relocated too, hopefully make players use more of the site. Plenty of update posts an videos over last couple of weeks on their Facebook page. should be there for tomorrow.

It’s a Ultimate/Lonex gearbox. I opened it and fitted the Mad Bull 100 spring years ago. It then just sat in a gun case for 20 plus years…I recently refreshed it with a maple leaf barrel and purple Prometheus bucking. I converted it to Lipo too from Tamiya. It’s a punchy little gun and I really want to use it..I guess a 90 spring would do it?

Have you switched it to auto and squeezed the trigger? May be a lock up. Also check that the mosfet is properly connected. My son's Specna had really dodgy connectors to the Aster, so that's been replaced by a Perun.

How big is this shop? If you're getting head sized at 25m, and airsofter sized at 50m, you'll be competitive with 90% of players out there. As above, a barrel and hop rubber clean never goes amiss. Maple Leaf rubbers and Omega nubs are a decent shout for any gun, or you can work on the hop-unit tension, and shimming the barrel if you're really determined.

Send it back and get a refund or replacement. Opening it up will void any warranty and leave you with an expensive paperweight if you can't fix it.

If you're opening up the gearbox it'll be easier to just replace the spring than cutting the original one

Check the polarity on the deans to tamiya converter you are using. Did it come with the gun or did you acquire it separately?

Take off the baseplate from the grip and make sure the connectors are properly on the motor.

A bit optimistic for a gun that's over 10 years old and came with a plastic gearbox

It's a good job TMs work so well because they're really lacking imagination when it comes to broadening their range. I know people still buy them in droves (guilty) but come on man. An M4, a Glock and an MP5? Really?

Progress. Awaiting GBBR from Hong Kong.

agreed. though having said that i do have an HPA rifle (Tippmann M4V2) but having snagged airlines so many times, among other issues, i am in no rush to add any more HPA guns to my armoury any time soon

Still would.

That would be well over priced!

And a decent enough adver- wait, is that Dr Who with a lightsabre? Bloke's obviously a mental case, avoid!

Interesting thread. I try to get get a "milsim"/24h(+) game once a month between october-may, with some skirmishes sprinkled in between. Sometimes we'll travel to a particularly cool site and get an airbnb the night before. And I tend to take summer off just because of holidays and that sort of stuff. And real life gets in the way too. I managed to get ill 3 times in a row between october and december last year so had to pass up on some games. For me getting to a 24h game is £200 taking into account ticket, fuel and food. It's about 20hours of play (say 4hrs sleep) and about 8 hours of driving total. The sites near me are around an hour away so i think I get good value-for-money-for-time. But I do notice it leaving my bank account of course. I would like to get to skirmishes more. If the difference is either going by myself or not going at all, I'll go by myself. But if I do go by myself its half "i have the itch" and half "i have a new bit of kit i want to try out but don't want to take it for a first spin at a 24h game". The thread about "fireteams" sums it up really. When your "normal" is playing with your friends in a somewhat organised squad, with a squad and command radio net (even if comms can be iffy!) then my expectations for a skirmish aren't lower as such, they're just different. I would like to do more skirmishes next year though. Mostly because I am moving so I want to check out some sites i've not been to whilst I have the chance. And when I do move I'll be closer to my airsoft friends so easier to do skirmishes with them. (when it comes to the 24h games we are equally far away, just in different directions). I'll also have quite a few really cool sites all within about an hours drive so that'll be nice too. I also hope to have some "life changes" which will probably impact my ability to go away for entire weekends but whatever i think it'll be worth it.

You mean I didn't need to buy the kit I have?

Completely agree on that. Once you have all of the kit, the maintenance costs aren't that bad. Hell, even set up costs aren't that bad. Have you seen how much runners will spend on trainers, or hikers will spend on boots and backpacks and sometimes camping gear?

I was told it’s fine to allow your pets to sleep on your bed. But thanks to that advice, my two goldfish are now very poorly.

is there going to be some tomfoolery happening?

I told my wife that she was drawing her eyebrows too high. She looked surprised.

Might be able to get some discounts due to water damage too

Go to the Gun Mall in Mong Kok, got like 10 shops that sell world wide JK, P-X, Bang Bang, Den ETC then another 5-10 Airsoft/Modal shops that do not have a web presence in English. Get yourself a KABO Burger as you walk round. If you go to one of the big shops just get them to ship the gun home for you if you find one you like. I am sure you will enjoy the 8hrs, I was born in Kowloon Bay when it was still a British colony and have been back many times and love it. Maps link
