Caveated by the fact that i don't have any 416 specific advice to dispense, but I do note that generally electronic recoil systems are viewed with some suspicion - being something that can frequently go wrong, and adding additional complexity to the innards of the gun.

Waffle mags don't always fit rifs with fancy magwell grips. Shame as a plain mag in a fat grip looks like a bodybuilder who always skips leg day.

They rioted in Great Yarmouth tonight and looted Shoezone. Everything but the work boots were stolen.

For what it’s worth, over the years, I’ve yet to hear an EBB that doesn’t sound like a sewing machine on crack. And +1 for more things to go wrong,

The Nuprol metal M4 mags work in all of our M4 based AEGs.

I was just going to say something similar. My G&G is very fussy but the Nuprol metal ones bloody fantastic.

I hear pretty much universal praise for Nuprol AR mags surprisingly. I imagine 99% of Nuprol stuff is crap but it seems the mags are decent.

EBB? In that case I'd spend money only on Marui.

Cylinder head is generally 22mm OD, 1.5mm cross section. Piston head is generally 24mm OD, 2.4mm cross section AK2M4 sells some slightly larger piston head O rings for slightly larger cylinders; they are 24mm OD, 2.7mm cross section.

That was before being cleaned and lubed up. Was wetter than Gemma Collins mouth in greggs What’s the correct O ring size for the piston and cylinder head ?

I know I probably posted this last time, but I'm always amazed at Japanese efficiency. Ordered a barrel from Orga on Saturday and it just arrived today, all the way from Japan!

Yup, Specnas are one of the worst brands for mag compatibility, except for all the other brands. Issues can usually be ameliorated in the field by wiggling and slamming the mag in, but you might get some mags that just wont fit or feed. This can almost always be sorted by either filing/sanding, or shimming, the mag as appropriate to line it up with the feed tube. Or if you have a lot of mags that need sorted, it can make more sense to shim inside the magwell instead. The fuzzy side of self-adhesive velcro tape is popular for this, or just use duct or electrical tape in a pinch - you could also stick a strip of plastic on if you need a big adjustment, e.g. piece of cable tie. If you do run into problems, then find a mag that does feed, and put it side-by-side with the bad ones. Eyeball and measure them up, and note how the feeds in the top of the magazines align (or don't align) - that will tell you whether you need to remove or add material to or from the front or back or the bad mags to make them match up and feed gooderer.

HPA fanboys...

Fair enough; I was just making the point that one cannot even rely on Specna mags to work in Specna guns.

Early reports suggest the rioters did thousands of pounds of improvements

Been called bro more times then I can count today 😄

Hi gents, just confirming that slacking off the bolt at the back of the sight lowers point of aim. Cheers
