So... I don't just collect pews, I collect webbing/fieldgear/ bergens etc. Had my alice for a while & got some Molle II in ACU/UCP last month so here's some pics of those. This week I also got my hands on a DPM chest rig with a DPM holster for my plce & a pattern 58 water bottle pouch to complete a set I've had since last year. I've been after a WE L85A2 GBBR for a short while but spotted this ICS Galil on Firesupport & figured I had a few L85's already but no Galil (until now). Straight out the box the front sight post had worked it's way loose from the sight body so once it's 'zeroed' I'll lock tight it in place, the gas tube is a bit wobby so will see if I can tighten that up too.

You defo need more stickers. Also, overlapping & jaunty angles are a great effect although vastly increases the amount of stickers you need for the same area. Am currently doing the same to the garage beer fridge but it's looking too sparse to contemplate a pic at the moment.

I see this time and again. People start to give perfectly well meaning advice without actually understanding what's happening. Is the hop adjusted at all, what weight ammo is being used, what ACTUAL range are you getting and what do you think you want to actually achieve? New players often overestimate what they will get from their guns and underestimate the benefits of simple things (like barrel cleaning and hop adjustment. As for the accuracy question, as has been mentioned innumerable times before airsoft guns are smoothbore toy guns firing very light ammo with a crude method of imparting additional range (ie the hop unit). If you're expecting 100m range and pinpoint accuracy then you're likely to be disappointed.

Just got this today, shooting .2's at 1.1j/330.4fps on a 7.4lipo 1400mAh

Just for laugh I once made Giraffe Camouflage 🦒 on my G&G CM16...

I have just had my APFG Rattler delivered today and I am over the moon with the thing! Build quality is insane and it is rock solid, I spent some time cleaning all the icky factory grease out of it and using some gun salve to re-lube it. A massive thanks to @WilloJayfor making me some extended screws for the hammer connector, I made sure to loctite them before testing. After all that prep I chronoed it and holy sh*te does this thing kick, and fling bb's at some insane speeds. Stock with abbey red gas and the suppressor installed I was getting 370fps on .32's😵 I haven't fiddled with the NPAS at all to bring it down but I'll list the out of the box findings below: - STOCK w Suppressor and Abbey Red Gas - 370 - STOCK w/o Suppressor and Abbey Red Gas - 305 - STOCK w Suppressor and Abbey Green Gas - 320 - STOCK w/o Suppressor and Abbey Green Gas - 270 All the test's I've run were with .32's and it was very under-hopped, so I will see if I can get a consistent hop with a good fps in a mo. I was using a standard VFC gen 3 mag that came with the gun for each test, I do have some VFC Gen 3 V-Mag's that I'm going to test to see if it has any impact on performance. I doubt it but its worth a test 🤷‍♂️

this is a fair point. i do occasionally get pm's asking about long expired ads, and i can certainly see how for those with a more expansive classifieds history that could start getting annoying. probably a balance to be struck, yeet ads after a year's inactivity or such.

We should not be contemplating changing things for the sake of a few with room temp IQs that cannot comprehend what expired means. Leaving completed and expired sales posts is invaluable as already mentioned.

Nah. Leave them be. It's very handy to be able to scroll back years of sales to get prices for things. Especially obscure, no longer in production stuff. I guess you mean sold rather than expired as plenty of stuff is still for sale on expired adverts that the seller just hasn't bumped. It literally says it might still be available...

I've repurposed these First Aid Boxes,,,perfect to carry my mags smokes flash batteries scopes ect

I went down the wide bore rabbit hole with an SVD I had many years ago; the drop in power was significant compared to a tight bore barrel.

don't know what to do to get it up. Viagra?

Given that this is the most active UK forum, especially for sales, keeping old threads around for reference is very relevant. Not forgetting that it's also the only place where members are allowed, even encouraged, to discuss the prices of items being sold here, or other websites. Those two aspects alone are a virtual mine of useful information for existing & new members alike. The only real issue with old sales threads is when sellers don't update their status, such as when items are sold.

Think the main motivation is to keep ads up as a sort of reference library for sales prices

Found some really cheap 0.40g BB's, thought "wow" and bought 4,000 of them for the DMR. Now I have them I realise they're black 😢

The first things to try are making sure the barrel is clean and then try heavier ammo. It's surprising how much extra range you can get from simply using different weight bbs. If this doesn't work then my next step would be to swap out the hop rubber, I recommend a Maple Leaf macroon 50⁰. This is a cheap and easy job (even I managed it without a problem and I've got the tech skills of a drunken chimpanzee)

Babe wake up new APFG update, Okay yet another post, I've been busy. So the screws work perfectly so far with testing, I've also swapped out my maple leaf Mr hop 50 degree out for a flamingo 60, this was because I found that with the combination of Mr hop and crazy jet barrel the bb was getting seated slightly differently each time causing inconsistent hop affect . So far the flamingo has been much better however I haven't shot many shots through it. Also installed the GSI mcx hop arm with their soft nub, The tolerancing of the hole that the pin for the arm sits in was way too small so I drilled using a 2mm drill bit it out until the pin sat in snugly. The GSI hop arm is better as it has a flatter contact patch, as oppose to the original arm which has a thin rounded metal part which causes inconsistent bb hop especially when the power changes (very bad as GBB are always slowly loosing power). Also another thing to note is the JWI hop unit is a very snug fit in some spear! If there are anymore things I discover I will post them here Until then Enjoy!

Hmmm could you just be mad that he's better than a lot of players? From his YouTube it seems like a lot of cheaters seem to be those he faces. Also are you or the forum not worried about the liable remarks of defamation against KickingMustang? If I was him I would contact the police about these accusations other than the cheating. Also calling him that name is actually bullying and says alot more about the person you are and the forum that condones this behaviour. My guess the maliciousness comes from him possibly putting you up on YouTube as a cheater. Camera never lies. Hate him or love him he's getting alot of people into airsoft. Do better! Be nicer!

Just for laugh My G&G CM16

I don't know what to say lol. But it looks strangely surreal. It's almost like you could snap pieces off and eat it. I can honestly say that is unique. Good work🙂

Yeah it's a nice effect and looks good.

Your delta is lose , front sight off with the gas tube and tighten it up making sure the gas tube can go back in , you might need barrel shims but most times they arnt needed.

Yeah 🤣 I just want to be able to quickly switch between camos and solid colours using sniper tape

I don't know about any of their other sites but when RIFT ran The Village near Royston it was policy that dry firing in the safezone would get you sent home. This might seem a bit harsh but IMO you can't be too careful when it comes to preventing injuries caused by negligence

I've started tarting up an old ProTec I use for bike park riding. Definitely looks weak compared to OP tho.

So early January 2024 we’ll finally see the ASG CZ p-10c Co2 version in stores across the UK. i’ve got my grubby little hands on one so anything you want to know. Ask away. key points so far: -2 versions, “vanilla” & “tactical” -Alloy slide -Polymer lower - hop up adjustable without removing the slide whilst the slide is racked -Safety trigger with a mechanical safety under the front of the lower - “tactical” comes Optic ready but includes rear irons in the box aswell. 14mm ccw thread - ambi mag release, optic plate & threaded outer all available separately - 3+ magazines from a single co2 bulb at approx 10c

I was wondering the same, my MK12 is doing 420 FPS on a M120 spring! @MrTea just to go back to basics, I assume you've checked that you're actually getting good compression with all the new cylinder/piston parts?

M160 are arriving in a few months however what's going on with that build? Never worked on a Masada personally but why so low power ?

That was what I was going to do initially however it appears his XT springs don't go past M150. Up until this point, it's exactly what I was using. Not yet. Now i'm closer to the limit, and have it chrono-ing consistently, i'm going to give it a test on 0.36g BBs to see how it's performing.

That is all rather concerning.

And bear in mind that the incoming fire that you're trying to emulate could be coming from a hot gun, or a DMR being trigger-spammed.

Hey, i’m a newbie and looking for airsoft friends to play with…I’m not too far from phoenix ? alex

The Swedish LK35 has an external frame and comes with a Molle waistbelt, all in 1000D so pretty modern I'd guess.

If you're looking for £200, list that as your asking price ONO, you might get close to it if you're willing to haggle. The only pews & kit I make an offer on that I don't end up buying are the items that have no wiggle room for negotiation. Keep listing it until it's sold. You'd be surprised how many classifieds I've bought the second or third time it's been advertised & nearer my original offer than the sellers asking price.

Actual progress this time around but additional confusion. I tried sanding down the Maple Leaf MR hop rubber feed lips. No matter how little I took each time, I could never get a rubber that resulted in consistent FPS readings - at one point I got an FPS reading of ~800 so IDK 😅 I've been messing with different hop rubbers trying to find one that consistently works especially when the stock hop rubber ended up splitting when changing it over. I was going to try the a ML Macaron 60 degree as i've never had an issue with them before and they just worked. During the process of installing it I noticed that the hop unit wasn't applying hop evenly, it was applying too much pressure on the right side resulting in uneven hop. I think this is simply due to the way the hop unit is designed that makes the hop arm slightly off center. Happily I managed to remedy this quite quickly by using a small o-ring that I had lying around which I think is for a MOSCART fill valve? All I did was just put this between the body of the hop unit and the hop arm. Before anyone mentions it, yes the screw is in the wrong side of the hop unit and no, this isn't what was causing the issue with the misaligned hop arm Now that I had sorted that I moved onto changing the hop rubber. I have a prommy purple I was going to try out but for some reason I just wanted to try a Maple Leaf Macaron yellow/60 degree just because they've worked flawlessly on everything I've put them on. I also installed the bucking with the Gearparts Omega 70 nub from AK2M4 and it worked. I am so mad. I am confused as to why this works. Before I tested this, i'd bought and installed a SHS M160 spring to creep up the FPS. The spring is very twangy (if that makes sense) and it's pretty annoying. Since starting this build, i've changed which outdoors site I go to and they allow 450fps for DMRs so i've still got a bit of headroom that i'd have to buy an M170 equivalent to get to. Is a SP160 the same as a M170? Could it be the MR hop bucking didn't work as the hop window on the inner barrel is too small causing inconsistent contact? I am at a loss as to why this suddenly works... I want to buy another ML MR hop rubber and try it but I feel like if I disturb the hop rubber in the slightest it's gonna throw a fit and not work anymore.

Yes as it turns out, never use a mysterious plastic bag full of bbs with a sticker saying 0.36g. It's a lie. Opened a fresh pack and it's firing perfectly. Thank you

That is a very good question. I would say before you start buy a chrono find out what the gun is doing and how consistent it is. get a few samples of heavy weight BBs next time you are at a game site use their range to see what BBs give you the best range and go from there. A well set up AEG will be accurate (hitting centre mass consistently) 50 to 60 metres you are not going to get much further than that longest I have seen a AEG shoot accurately is 80m and that was tuned to high heaven.

Fitted the omega nub with the maple leaf bucking, 298 - 307 (.25g bb’s, adjusting hop incremental and only a tiny drop) Seems I’m now on the right path, so fingers crossed all is good next month 🙏

Do this. Heavier ammo will require the hop to be turned up a bit, but if you can't turn the hop up enough to get it shooting flat before it starts having issues (eg misfeeding or failing to fire) then move on to the second paragraph. Barrel cleaning is something you should get into the habit of doing, at least before every game day.

Yeah, but it's not got any molle.

".. little scratch marks" Looks more like they got Stevie Wonder to make those holes bigger

Some photos might help as, at the moment, we have no idea which make it is and which springs have boinged away.

Just a word of praise for the staff of Black Ridge Outdoor Gear. An online Airsoft supplier whose staff are ready to talk to you and offer advice and interact with you. It makes a refreshing change to find a supplier who wants to help. Thanks Thomas 👍

I play Phoenix regularly as its pretty close to me, that Sat/Sun option just makes it accessible. It has its good days and its bad days. Recently I've had mostly good days. I prefer it over Skirmish round the corner; just prefer the actual site. Feel free to drop me a PM should you wish to shoot.

He very nearly put me off getting into Airsoft! I watched a few of his (edited) vids and thought what an egotistical,big headed wanker. Luckily I stopped watching,joined a club and found out that, thankfully,his type of player were not the norm. Regards

Apart from when the footage is heavily edited, to the point where hit markers are put over shots which clearly missed. I've seen porn that's more realistic than the shit he puts out I take it you mean libel? Considering it's his own social media content which contains his racist rants he'd be laughed out of court if he tried (assuming it would even get there in the first place)
