After the revelation that the Salvo Precision MCX's have copied the toxicant nozzle design, not the MWS spec nozzle have abandoned that idea and gone a different way. So i've instead ordered: WE Scar H GBB V3 Ratech Plastic Magnetic NPAS nozzle for Scar AMG Winter Hammer Spring for V3 WE

Thanks for the feedback! That thought of buying new had crossed my mind, but part of the reason I was wanting to get everything in working order was so that I could sell at least a couple of the guns off. I'll need to dig everything out and do a full inventory but I had definitely gone a bit overboard with purchases before I stopped playing. I'll plan for new hop rubbers and a barrel clean for each as a minimum and take it from there. Regarding GBB mags, do you reckon soaking the seals in silicone oil or similar would be enough to revive them, or will they likely need replaced entirely? I'd like to think I had everything filled with maintenance gas, but I'm not sure I did.

Rather predictably, this morning saw me at Airsoft Plantation, where I met up with around 180 other players for a day of slinging plastic at each other. After setting up and chronoing my recently overhauled and upgraded QBZ 97, which was shooting slightly hot, comparing guns, discussing the pros and cons of gas and gearboxes, and listening to the safety brief and the first game brief, our team set off for the mortar pits, while the red team went to the village. We had two lives, while the attackers had 10 medics, upon whom they had infinite regens. Their objective was to get three smoke grenades, which were carried in an ammo box, to their respective targets in the mortar pits. They could not open the box to find out where the objectives were until they were in the mortar pits and, if the player carrying the box was hit, they had to hand it to the medic who saved their life, who would give it to the next player who regened on them. I initially took up a position behind a berm towards the left side of the mortar pits. The enemy took a while to appear but, when they did, the recently upgraded SR47 showed that the work that I had done on it had been worthwhile; it was popping BBs out to a great distance and had a much improved trigger response. I got lots of good hits before being hit, whereupon I fell back to the bunker, from where the SR47 carried on as it had started until I was hit again, this time by an enemy player who had sneaked around the boundary berm on the left. I joined my other deceased team mates along the back of the site to watch the fun, which included a brilliant piece of work from a rental, who took out several of the enemy before being hit. Eventually, of course, the attackers achieved their objectives and, after a short visit to the safe zone to reload, the game was reversed. In this iteration, I was one of the medics; our attack was pretty direct and we pushed into the mortar pits, taking a lot of hits along the way, which kept us medics busy when we were not shooting the enemy. Our smoke grenades were set off at their targets in a time that was four minutes faster than that of our enemies. Hip hooray and tally ho, as Blackadder's Lt George would probably have said. The next game was a fallback using most of the site. The red team had to transport a casualty on a stretcher, which was a four person lift, from the far end of the woods to the border bridge, then to the town hall and finally to the plane in the DEA base; at each location, they had to set off a smoke bomb that was located there. They had infinite regens on a marshal who was 30m behind their rearmost player, while we had one life in the woods, another in the border/village, and a final one on the far side of the firebreak. We set up a two layer defence in the woods and I found myself being part of the second layer. The enemy's attack was quite slow, taking a long time to break down our front line, who were well supported by those of us in the second line. Eventually they did so and, after a bitter fight, we were overwhelmed and I made my way back across the border bridge. I decided to make use of the boundary ditch, which is largely sheltered by bushes and small trees, as a good location from where I could easily move back and forth and pot enemy players as they advanced past me. As some of you may remember, I have previously written about the different types of mud at AP and this location offered me a completely new variety to admire; it was reddish brown, clearly indicating that a different soil stratum exists along the far boundary, very smelly and extremely glutinous; I was as happy as the hippopotamus in the song by Flanders and Swann. This plan worked rather well as I was able to shoot passing players from the ditch and then scuttle along it to another position without being seen. Eventually, I heard a shout of "Game Over"; the enemy had timed out without reaching the town hall. Lunch followed and the somewhat filthy appearance of my boots and trousers was in contrast to everyone else in the safe zone. After lunch, the game was reversed, with our objectives now being limited to getting the stretcher and its casualty to the border bridge and the town hall, setting off their smoke bombs. The group that I was with formed the right flank of our attack in the woods, moving along the boundary and getting into lots of engagements with the defenders; although we took casualties, we worked well as a team and overran them reasonably handily. We then got somewhat bogged down at the border ditch and bridge due to a stalwart defence by the red team, which we we eventually overcame, but not before I twice had to go in search of the regen marshal. As the enemy had taken heavy casualties fighting at the border, we were able to push into the village reasonably rapidly, getting the casualty to the town hall and setting off the smoke bomb there. At this point, I had to leave as I needed to get home, sort out my kit, have a shower, and then get to Desertfest in Camden in time for Slift and the truly awesome, overwhelming and weirdly uplifting Earth. It was a typical AP day of airsoft, with well designed games, great play and lots of fun; it was played in a good spirit. I am not sure if I will be playing next Sunday; I am going to see Soft White Underbelly (aka Blue Oyster Cult) at the Islington Assembly Hall on Saturday evening and the thought of getting up early the next morning is not particularly attractive. Weapons used: Hurricane Kit SR47 MP5A2 (most of the externals are SRC, except for a CA SEF trigger group, and it has a mix of internal parts) ASG XP18 Commander (CO2) Drinks consumed: Water Tea

MWS + Nova kit and mil spec furniture.

Getting shots part of the game, even if you're this guy, if no one shoots him he's not getting the full immersive experience. Although they should have gone full "A-Team" with his wheels, or at least mounted a 249 on it

I wonder if the 320’s have the realistic fire in holster or fire when dropped function 🤭

Can second Pete and AK2M4 - lovely fella and he offers a great service + he's always trying new stuff and experimenting with stuff before they're sold on the site instead of just throwing stuff on there like most other retailers do

I've discovered a lot of the retailers I used to use no longer exist, so this is a big help! Cheers

Pete at @ak2m4 is my recommendation for parts supply. https://www.ak2m4.co.uk/index.php?route=common/home He's a regular here and is always happy to help and advise!

Added a Tan PEQ15 and fancy flash hider - much prefer the PEQ15 to the DBAL I had on it previously.

Looks to my like it is this part - sold for the Cyma CM028 (TM clone) fixed stock AK: https://www.18airsoft.com/products/cyma-cyma-ak-stock-metal-adapter-cy-0040

I was running Nimh batteries in all of my guns before I stepped away, but had bought an internal conversion kit and corresponding LiPo for my KAC PDW. I didn't have a balance charger at the time so never got round to using it, but it will be sat in one of the storage boxes. I'll follow your advice and get rid of it ASAP! Fair point on the seals, not really worth the hassle when I could just replace with new. Once I've done a full inventory, I'll get an order in for new hop buckings and any orings I'll need for the mags.

The twat didn't even turn it off between shots.

"there are two things i hate in this world. People who are intolerant of other peoples cultures and beliefs. And the dutch"

Hate to break it to ya, but that's orange

Disassembled the whole thing - turns out: The piston head has detached from the piston. No damage. This is probably cos I didn't use threadlock. The nozzle lips that let it sit in the tappet plate have broken along one cardinal edge, but I have an XT POM-based replacement that I wanted to use anyway, so I will install that. Will put it back together better than I did before and give an FPS report once it's done.

First you induce a seizure with that strobe light, then you shoot while they're still twitching. 4:3 inside portrait inside 1080p, where did we go wrong as a species?

If that is the hardest decision of his life, he has led a very sheltered life.

You have mind-bending daemons from the Warp, foul xenos that can rip a tank apart like tissue paper, and esoteric alien weapons that were perfected before the first cell split in two on Holy Terra. I have a pointy stick, and my faith in the God Emperor of mankind.

Thats the photo from the webpage, I just removed the emoji covering his face. To give the guy credit, his airsoft content is already better than Licking Dogturds.....

After messing around with my VFC ak's appearance an unhealthy amount recently I figured it could be a good idea to share and document what parts fit it without mods/minor mods/won't fit etc. So far I have tried: (Colour code: Green = Straight Fit / Orange = Modification Needed / Red = Won't Fit) E&L Wood Furniture (Handguards) LCT Wood Furniture (Handguards) Genuine AK74m Lower Handguard (May vary on manufacturer, not sure what manufacturer the one I tried was) LCT B-10M 5KU SPORT-4 (Retainer catch and receiver block (On the actual lower handguard where it slots into the hole of the AK receiver) needed filing a small amount) LCT Triangle Stock (A shim for the top of the stock is needed to stop the stock from walking up and down) 5KU B-33 (Fits fine however as it's AEG spec it needs to be cut and redrilled) If you have one and would like to help me extend the list it would be massively appreciated!
