Making the Bow GBB MP5k stock fit an AEG is definitely a 2/10 would not do again but over the moon with the results

Because growing old is mandatory, growing up is optional

Last game day , some one was talking about an issue with semi auto on his gun, I went 'haha he said semi !' chap next to me nearly choked on his tea 🤣

Happy with my little add ons to the gen5 Angrygun MOS plate to accept clone ACRO Clone TLR-1 Pro Arms steel Supressor sights which I surprisingly managed to “white dot” without too much of a mess despite being a tad shakey.

My bin-bag solution is looking pretty smart now, huh?

I’m a happy bunny

Gotta give it to the knock off merchants The quality of the clones coming from Ali Express these days is tremendous For what it cost to my door, I’d expected a plastic flimsy thing, but this TLR-1 clone is all alloy, with strobe/constant beam feature. And from idiotically looking into the beam, bloody bright!!

I’ve never transported RIFs within the UK in hard cases with locks in 17 years. Just in soft gun bags. I’m not aware of any laws in the UK that require them to be carried in locked hard cases. They just need to be kept out of sight (plus a good reason for carrying them). If it’s just the gearbox I guess carried out of sight will be sufficient. Or does the OP mean travelling between countries?

For the rare times i used public transport I always fancied one of those guitar hardcase gunbags, I think hazard4 make one, or even buy a regular one from Ebay & put in dividers, mind you with the amount of kit I used to take to games I'd probably need a wheeled cello case. That reminds me, years ago, leaving a job at the Barbican a girl passes us wheeling a massive cello hard case, I turn to the lad working for me & say: "She used to work for me but I had to sack her" His response: "really, whys that ?" I replied: "I found out she was on the fiddle" He started laughing about 10 minutes later lol 🤣 I'm here all week😏

When I first started playing I used a hard gun case with a padlock. I quickly changed to a soft bag as I found the case attracted more attention

I for one. Love Roman numerals...

Since January, I’ve been doing a lot of research on the TM G17.5 and now have 4 of them. As a result, I’ve been buying and trying new things on the market. I thought it might be useful for a thread with the parts available and what works, what doesn’t. Here are two that I’ve finished. The other two are still waiting on parts. The only upgrade part I’d say is required, is an uprated hammer spring if you’re running green gas. All of my G17.5s light strike when running green gas/propane. The stock slide is carbon polymer so *should* manage fine with green gas. uprated hammer springs: Guarder - not sure Cowcow Tech (CCT)- 120% The CCT full spring set is about £15 from Empire. Pro Arms also do a spring set but doesn’t include hammer spring. Everything else is pretty much optional. I’d also recommend upgrading the piston lid and nozzle return spring. CCT do a piston lid CCT and Proarms do nozzle return springs. Both are good. The Proarms pack is better value for money IMO. Slides that I’m aware of Detonator (all drop in, no modifications required): G17 - standard G17 - boresight solutions G34 - TTI Detonator also do a couple of limited editions specific for the South Korean market… but you’d need a mate in South Korea to buy you one and ship it. Proarms (all drop in apparently - not tried them though): G17 - FDE/black cerakote Wii-tech: G17 - standard - steel or aluminium (both with steel barrel) - G17 - tactical - steel or aluminium (both with threaded steel barrel and 6.03 TBB) note: the aluminium slides were drop in. The steel slide I’ve been sent does not work and Wiitech are looking into why. Mafioso: Full steel G17 kit - required modification to the TM BBU to work. Guarder: Not yet released but the steel slide kit looks promising. 5KU: Aluminium standard slide kit - haven’t tried but heard 5KU quality has improved recently. Outer Barrels: none of the aluminium threaded outer barrels worked with a metal slide and tracer for me. But I’m sure I’ve seen people on Reddit using theirs with a tracer. The aluminium barrels work with the stock slide and a tracer. Detonator threaded outer barrel Proarms threaded outer barrel C&C tac threaded outer barrel w/Roland style comp. Other Accessories: JDG do a very cool magwell. JDG also do magazine extensions for V2 mags. Bomber do a TTI style magwell. Guarder, CCT and Wiitech do aftermarket recoil rods guarder does the serial number delete plate. it sounds like Guarder might be doing steel internals and also a nylon polymer aftermarket grip. MOS sight plates Detonator - version for RMR/SRO. works well, good fit. Bomber - Version for RMR/DPP/ACRO. Can’t comment on the ACRO or DPP but the RMR is a good fit. Angry Gun - Versions for RMR/DPP/ACRO. Can’t comment on the DPP but the ACRO and RMR are good fit C&C Tac - RMR only. haven’t tried but looks similar to the angry gun version 5KU - RMR only. haven’t tried but their quality has got better recently. Revanchist - RMR only. Probably the most disappointing of the lot to be honest. Fits well. But very basic design compared to all the others. Iron Sights detonator: Photo-reactive high sights. tarran style fibre sights. pro arms: tritium high sights. They’re quite expensive… but when have tritium sights been cheap? wiitech: Aluminium low sights aluminium high sights with a couple of different options. Things to avoid: I’d recommend avoiding Gunday. I bought a set of sights and Magwell off them. The sights can’t be fitted without drilling extra holes into the slide. The Magwell requires modification to the frame… if anyone else has feedback, it might be good to feedback here to help people avoid lemons or buyers remorse.

Me thinks the OP first language is not English? Possibly *gear in a box* Hmmmm🤔

Fact

This is an Element (Gear?) version Got a WADSN Scoutlight for my other RIF’s and your right, the WADSN stuff is decent too 👍

Depends on what type/style you're looking for, M4, AK, Bullpup, SMG, PDW, Bolt action, SPR, retro, etc... and what you want it for, Plinking in the garden, CQB, outdoor sites open, outdoor sites forrested, etc...

I definitely would 🤤

Only counts if you set it up armed Somewhere I (should) still have a banjo missing its strings, which has been awaiting conversion for nearly 30 years into a Mariachi inspired weapon …… and looking back that far - Salma Hayak is 58. She’s still got it. But she’ll still have to wait in line behind 65 year old Susanna Hoffs …….. This weekend my weaponry will be transported in a locked hard case…..

Desperado style circa 1995

Took me own advice, just ordered a guitar hardcase, something to put the AA12 in I've got coming, Chicago style lol

New vest and pouch for my EG67 grenades 👍

'When I was a lad' you could cycle to the local woods with an air rifle on your back, air pistol in your pocket....no worries 😅 That reminds me, I must buy a hard case, only got one of those soft floppy thingies. Do fancy a Nuprol one look the bis !

Fun fact: in Florida, it's legal to open carry while hunting, camping or fishing.

Carrying RIFs in a fishing rod bag with an old fishing rod poking out the top would make it very inconspicuous 😆

I haven't been there for a while- I probably ought to give it another go. About an 80:20 cracking evening to very average evening ratio based on my past ten or so visits over a few years.

Sorry guys, no matter how much I'd like to meet some of you here. I just don't want to give that site any more of my money.

The law in question is the Section 19 offence: having imitation firearm in public without reasonable excuse. Since a gearbox is not an imitation firearm, there is no offence. ... Actually, what do you mean by possible? What do you mean by travel? What do you mean by complete set of airsoft gearbox?

It depends on what you mean by ‘travel’ When driving in your car domestically it’s best practice to use a case, but you’re fine as long as Airsoft guns are not in sight when loading, driving and unloading If travelling in/through countries then comply with their laws When crossing borders comply with the laws of each country, and the terms & conditions of airlines, ferry companies and the channel tunnel Did you mean ‘gear box’ as in components etc or gear (all your kit etc? If it looks like gun parts then treat it as a gun If it’s just internals then package it safely

Yesterday took a trip to Incursion Airsoft at the Epsom tunnels and it was one of those days with ups and downs. Fortunately most of the negatives were nothing to do with the site as one was delayed trains and the second was that one of my post game cans of beer had a tiny hole in it so my plate carrier stank of Old Speckled Hen. Games were varied with almost perfect hit taking. Unfortunately one rental was a little reluctant to call hits but a word from marshals (and maybe a couple of extra shots) soon sorted that. The only other slight negative was that some of the gaps between games could've been a few minutes shorter but they didn't feel excessively long All in all I had a great evening and I'd certainly go back Guns used: GE 870 shotgun WE P99

TM’s suffer the same spacing affliction I got round it by cutting off one of the “nubs” on a MOE m-lock stubby foregrip, and then used the one m-lock and one of the threaded holes in the handguard to secure it. Solid!

Ah yes, magic knees. That rail is indeed a copy of the Remington RAHG. There's also ones that are a copy of the Geiselle one that isn't M-Lok either. There are little rail sections that screw onto the holes between the slots or you could change it to an M-Lok rail. Depends how spendy you want to get really. https://www.davescustomairsoft.co.uk/h-series-rahg-rail-black

saw this. i was going to do some videos and how to’s but i struggle for time to film and time to edit. so far is disassembled mine down to springs and screws and reassembled. Daunting at first but it makes sense now.
