Ah ok, thanks. I have one of these already, hoped there might be an adaptor for the odin speedloader. XM177 arrived today.

I have these... https://www.shopfittingwarehouse.co.uk/shelving-racking/grid-mesh-shelving very adaptable.

If you want to feel that you've maximised reliability in your overpriced fragile toy that will fail in 9 other ways anyway if you actually play with it, use bushings. If you want to feel that you've achieved that last 0.1% of performance in your overpriced fragile toy that you'll never objectively measure, use bearings.

Yup, they're all equally meaningless, in so much as they profess to waive your rights to redress for injury due to negligence.

I had that suggested by faceache too. You can definitely tell who in the comments is an airsofter

If it's snug you can prevent the bucking deforming as it's assembled with a little silicone grease. For Airsoft guns, lithium grease for metal and silicone for rubber and plastic. The loads and temperatures are moderate so a moly grease for example is unnecessary and stickyness is probably more important than lubricity etc.

As I posted earlier in the thread doxxing has legal ramifications. Might be worth perusing that if it was recent. Agreed, but tbh I don't think you'll find anyone here would would argue against that Good luck with causing him as much hassle as you can

Getting ready for my first ever indoor cqb event on Hogmanay Quite looking forward to it

My son and I did the deed today and bought our first guns. My son went for a Specna Arms SA-C19 Core Daniel Defence in Chaos Bronze. I had my heart set on the Specna Arms SA-F02 Flex but after handling my sons choice it didn’t feel right. After trying a few different guns I picked up a G&G Raider mark 1 in long barrel. I know it’s old tech but I understand why they’ve been so popular, it felt really nice and solid. As I was buying two guns, batteries, etc he offered me a discount on the raider and I couldn’t resist… They’ve been wrapped up for Christmas now otherwise I’d post some pictures.

That site is just filled with gems - must be because of the spelling, but there are no bargains in that bargian bin, only piss takes.

No buddy, going to try The Depot on the 31st Then FWG on the 14th

"Only shoots full auto right now but it can be fixed and I dont have the time" Tbh I'm more surprised that a fault described as an easy fix actually was

I do wonder that given his earlier (pre "going big") wasnt that bad that maybe its a case of wearing the mask long enough to become it? I remember him having more normal gameplay videos, the stuff where he was showing a lot of uncut footage of him being a hedge and occasionally someone would walk by him or he'd take a pot shot. Whilst it felt genuine, it would have been dreadfully boring to watch to someone who didnt play. Then ofc there's the video that gets picked up by the algorithm, a natural cheater encounter, ad revenue starts becoming a thing that exists in a meaningful way and it's a slow decline into having to seek out, then manufacturer drama to keep the clickbait machine fed. But then: Sounds like an equally plausible origin story.

Having seen his spawn camping, experienced his cheating as a marshal, and read his bigoted comments, I am pretty sure that he is just an egregious little shit who has found a way of monetising his behaviour.

Love the XM177

Kinda...yeah. I'd have been as well using a 2 tone, I was a chef attached to the RA, passed my marksmanship, cooking breakfast for the senior NCO's one year. Wood effect paint is crap too.

I use these: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/143048166056?hash=item214e55caa8:g:0hQAAOSwyYRcD-CB Link above is for the exact retailer I used back in 2020 when I ordered them. You'll need a terminal crimping tool to do it 'right' though: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/154287918094?hash=item23ec46cc0e:g:ACYAAOSwuLJf~InA&amdata=enc%3AAQAIAAAAwP135fNtGdaCFCq6K0kaJ9mp%2F%2Foe%2Fp%2FENLgH2qXrLAXibdzuXe5p8aZohafUzuhecIB7sa2m1M5m60lWxcvpdNKLrt6BCgnTLWTtgcjyXCMulj1hCBfZtAIt%2B%2B4LKvufbQM7xvre2RORgq0aKzBNbpVGHwSO5AnqDEdML4IUrVb%2Faab5CGmjH2Ef8kedpCqAwswmA2k8MRkqU7RzH8QuE%2Fto000cukd%2BCZD3KwrAF0A95%2B0hlkQxJAN%2FMPOP3VkPGw%3D%3D|tkp%3ABk9SR7T_lM6VYw

I got some from fleabay... 900pc Assorted Insulated Electrical Wire Terminal Crimp Connectors Spade Set Kit

At the Fort? I'll be busy selling steak pies & stew.

Merry Christmas to me. I'm now part of the GBBR club. (my GBB pdw's & pistols don't count)

<but-why.gif> It's amazing how responsive companies become once you initiate a chargeback via PayPal /your bank / card issuer.

The heschen female connectors 2.8mm from amazon are good quality compared to some of the rubbish out there. They feel right too. 3.79 for a bag of 100.

2.8mm Or sometimes listed as .110”

2.8 mm

Bit late to the party but I remember those days of first AEG, back in 2015 raiders were the choice then as well, I did however go for an ICS UK1R, still use it today, but played once since 2019 ??‍♂️ My 14 yr old has played a game, due to age restrictions, couldn’t go sooner, and loved it, luckily though I’ve amassed a small armoury and wardrobe collection he is almost set but I feel your pain of duplicating most equipment ?, I’ve kind of all gone M4 base with the AEGs, even the G36 (ICS G33), takes M4 mags so atleast he can use my hi-caps ? just make sure he enjoys it, one thing I would recommend is radios for you both, my worst fear was the ‘cease fire’ call and man down!, I was the only one moving looking for him with that parent fear something had happened to him….found him with another youngster and loads of big kids preparing to storm a building having the time of him life ????‍♂️ hence radios…!

Like the other folks have said you're better off with a 'dry' gas, the silicone is being sprayed through your hop rubber and barrel which messes with your accuracy and means you have to clean a lot more often. As for seals, I think you're better off doing them manually with a decent grease (something like superlube 21030, I've started using that based on recommendations from the heavy recoil club discord and it works brilliantly for everything GBB). I've been running ultrair pretty much all year round and now with the orange/red stuff they've put out I'm sorted if I need anything when it gets a bit colder. Super5ives also do the ultrair orange/red and works out a few quid cheaper. Free postage over £50 so pretty decent if you stock up on a few at once! The regular/brown cans you can pick up at one of the generic bbguns websites in bulk and works out about 5/6 quid a can or thereabouts.

I use a TM XL speedloader with the built-in pistol adapter, with works a treat with MWS mags. I also use an Odin for AEG M4 mags. I do have the AirTac MWS adapter for the Odin, but still favour the TM loader. I imagine it'd work with VFC mags too, using the pistol adapter.

I would ideally like the krytacs ones since they are the only mid caps that have 200 rounds with the stop fire function when emptying. But I have just found a deal on 4 MAG 170 round mid caps that I might pick up instead

I did prefer the Dark Chocolate Bounty, never see them any more, must have been discontinued I got a patch today in the post as well

Needed a gas block to replace my front iron sights, got this from airsoft world.net and they gave me a free patch and a bounty! Thankfully I don't mind a bounty, controversial topic ?

This has just popped up on my fb feed https://fb.watch/pbK4KFTZMZ/ There's plenty of comments saying what hes really like. Im sure some of you guys have already commented on it! Lol

Thanks very much both, if no issues with using it then. I'll give it a light coat of silicone oil to avoid damaging it when putting back together. Cheers

A light coat of silicone will help with sliding the bucking into the hop unit if it's a tight fit. Stops the bucking distorting or tearing.

You used a 2 tone in the TA??

I just spotted it got a few seconds of screen time in USAirsofts latest video Shown near the end, just before the no1 spot Im well chuffed ??

Not that i'm taking his side, but one wonders if calling out his real name (assuming this to be information he hasn't willingly put out himself) isn't doxxing, or at least doxxing adjacent? As for the rest of his antics, well for me it boils down to this; Because wether he's as big an asshole as he plays on camera, or a saint playing the devil, is irrelevant when the issue is that the persona that gets presented to the world outside our hobby casts it in such a negative light. The last damn thing we need is pr like that because the absolute best case scenario is we get a flood of people joining in with the preconceived notion of that being an acceptable way to act. The worst is one can only imagine the fodder his videos would provide for those who can't stand guns (or gun adjacent activities) and would see them out of the hands of anyone who isn't an actor or a video game sprite.

Very nice indeed.

It's an even bet that he and his cronies are watching this forum thread and just stroking themselves raw at the comments about him. I'm one of the people that had been quietly trying to raise awareness of him and his antics for a while, but I became a bit more.... enthusiastic, about trying to bring him down when he doxxed my friends and several others from UKAL on social media. He's an absolute buffoon with a 99% non-airsoft viewer base, as well as strong evidence of using view/comment bots, which entirely invalidates his favourite metric of 1/8th the world seeing his videos. He's banned from 40+ sites in the UK, publicly and who knows how many more who just don't want the hassle of being known as banning him. He regularly outs himself as cheating in his own content, as several other creators have reviewed and highlighted inaccuracies in his narratives as well as his shooting. He's said in interviews that he doesn't see himself as an ambassador for airsoft and all airsoft is, is a way for him to make money. The sooner he's out of the hobby, the better. He's been getting away with literal crimes for too long. Oh and his real name is James Wool, not "Bailey" or "Trouble", so every waiver he ever signed for any site is void, that's a fun one for insurance, eh?

The family album at Christmas....my other half got me the Glock 45 just waiting the arrival of a Glock 19X and another clean Glock 17 so i can have one without the GTL10 (that she doesnt know about) then in New Year need to decide if its worth adding a Glock 17 MOS......

I know this is an old thread just thought to put my input. I have two 7.24 lipos that have been in storage mode for the past 2-3 years from when I played last using the skyrc charger. Plugged them in recently and still reading 3.81v per cell on both batteries, charged and discharged fine ready for airsoft next year. My understanding storage mode puts the cells to 3.85v No bulging in them either, just stayed within a lipo safe bag.

wrapping up my sons gun for Santa I found this in the box. Looks like we are good to go!

LMT MWS GBB guccid I guess

Fast Delivery from Surplus Store, only ordered these on Wednesday. All I need now is the pew to use them with.

I can just imagine it. Him sitting alone in his bedroom in his ghillie suit with his "Sniper", "Shooter" and "Enemy at the gates" posters on the walls, surrounded by empty KFC buckets, stroking his rifle and muttering "nasty, nasty. We will makes them sorry, won't we my precious?"

Fire-Support have had loads of money out of me over the years (probably tipping into the several thousands now) and I've not had any problems. They are one of the oldest airsoft retailers in UK.

It's not a license ?

couldn’t resist adding one of these to the GBBR collection
