probably not very exciting for most folks but managed to find 6 brand new MAG 100 round midcaps for the TM Sig. These are like unicorn pooh nowadays and found them on Evike USA which involved the usual UPS/Customs/general fuckery to get them delivered.

Airsoft summed up. ??‍♂️

3d Printed some suppressors, out of resin because I dont have a FDM printer yet but its just a bit of something. tried to colour match the chaos bronze of the handrail Trying to find an angled buffer tube/stock adapter for the specna arms prime with the ESA2 quick change spring, so if anyone knows of any STLs

I've found the perfect one:

Half of the stuff on there is only for looks. The trauma shears might be a bit much and the blade of the knife is glued in the sheath so is useless, but both it and the TQ look as cool as the VIP light imho..... And everyone knows that Airsoft is as much about looking cool and dressing up as it is the actual shooting. ? Anyway ..... Dangler pouch inbound ??

There's two schools of thought; add a specific pouch if you have a need for it and ONLY if you have a need for it, or put any pouches you want on because airsoft is fun and who says what you can or can't have. Many would argue that the average skirmish game needs neither trauma shears or a bundle of rope but it's up to you how you play toy guns in the woods. No-one else. Personally, I like a dangler pouch because it helps protect the middle age spread but also gives me somewhere to stash pyro, or keys or whatever other minor bits I decide I might need.

And it's intended to blind and dazzle. As they said at the Depot brief "We don't want someone finding out they're epileptic while standing at the top of the stairs."

I'm not sure about the mount, but the optic is a DR Sight... They're pretty old hat but they're still going strong.

The sight of tourniquets in a players gear always worries me, and if you’re carrying tourniquet & scissors do you also have the rest stashed in your pouches? …. And know how/when/if to use it ? There is the dressing up element of airsoft, but it does imply a readiness which shouldn’t be the need of the average player, and therefore if you’re that prepared you’re carrying a lot of extra stuff If it really came down to it in game that a tourniquet was required from a passing player, a makeshift tourniquet can be made from the more average items carried by players (((Practice is of course required - but not on real bodies))) “Life not limb” was my instructors favourite phrase, and for the timeframes we have in the UK for an emergency evacuation beats the length required for limb loss risk of a tourniquet. For starters on that kit (unless it is a dress up set) I would lose the tourniquet (unless you can bring up real examples of potential needs in game - in which case I’d worry about the site), the scissors aren’t taking up much but be extra wary of the stitch counting airsofter who sues you for chopping up their ultra rare original SAS ninja trousers when they’ve strained their ankle falling over a tree root, and the rope is overkill complete with bush snag detection Personally, I’ve done it all - from all the gear no idea, to t shirt, jeans and a pocket

Ok, maybe 1 consequence. It is airsoft tho so we should be used to hitting SFA!

Update! I have acquired the Cyma CM041 H and it's a beauty. Unfortunately, the Tokyo Marui drum mag does not fit. Now I shall begin my quest for a longer outer barrel and a good adapter for the drum mag. Thanks a whole bunch guys, you helped me lots!

I dont think that one would work. The new edge/prime has a slightly different spring guide which seems to come out alot farther than the old system used to ?

Which could cause the bellend some big problems if the owner if said pics finds out

How long have you had it? If it's new and has done this since day 1 return it for a refund and buy from someone who doesn't rip people off

This suppressor is #CoolAF

So, after shifting the wall around to make space for the "free" TM toys that i was given, the P90 made its way to its new home. I imagine i'll get tech duties on it for a while as it hasnt gone far. The M4A1 has been coming along slowly as the two part hop that TM graced it with was missing along with a few other bits, so thats been a work in progress and the G36 hasnt actually come out of the box other than to remove the mother of all 8.6v NiCad battery that was still in it after 10 years in storage! But, after a day of gooning around at a skirmish, i got the offer of a WE galaxy pistol with 4 mags, for the lowly sum of £60. So i bought it, cos why not. The thing is like a hand held cannon. Overhopping 0.28's and generally being 1.02J of pocket silly. I'll get a pic up when i get home as its nothing to look at at all but jees, it can lob plastic for a pistol!

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.

Anything rubber will probably have dried out so yes, as you suspect it's going to be new hop rubber, gas seals etc at a minimum. Depending on what sort of lube and level of maintenance you were at when the guns went into storage then I'd certainly consider a good overall service. Batteries - absolutely. Get some new ones. If you have Nimh type ones then they've been roundly replaced by LiPo (go for 7.4v ones though). If you already had LiPo be grateful they haven't already burnt your house down and get rid! New seals are cheap, just change them over and then you can sell as "refurbished" rather than "serviced but might still leak like a sieve".

Honestly?! Id just buy a basic specna arms type aeg. There has been a massive improvement in the quality of kit available in 10 years. Now, you could regrease everything, swap hop rubbers over and buy new batteries, and it'd cost less but the aim of the game is to have fun. If you dropped out previously it's because you didn't find it fun enough and I'd advise to do the thing that's most fun. Ruining a couple of games days as you do some maintenance and realize it needs more of this or that isn't worth the savings you'll make or the feeling you're being out performed. This route might cost you the love of the hobby. Personally if I was determined to fix up what I had, new hop rubbers, new 7.4 lipo batteries and a barrel clean. If opening the gearbox and greasing is needed.....well then id just buy a new one.

Easy decision for me. I'm equal opportunities. I shoot anyone on the opposing side. If you're well enough to play and shoot, you're well enough to be shot.

For when you only want your top half to die?

I think it does. And don't call me Shirley.

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.

@Theturdinator He's printed some parts for me and done a fantastic job of it, even modifying a design because i'm a picky awkward customer.

I can confirm that I’m ? a cunt. I must be, I’m always getting fucked by others ??

I kinda agree with the above, but... on a serious-ish note, the only influence I imagine any "large airsoft company in the UK" could offer me as a consumer is a better variety of non AR or AK based rif's. I could easily be wrong here but as a fat balding 57 yr old with some disposable income & an interest in UK/NATO Cold War era kit I'm paying through the nose for surplus gear from abroad as the UK distributers constantly have kit listed but, out of stock when I want to empty my wallet. BB's are expensive but plentiful Gas is expensive but plentiful Rif's are expensive but I understand why stock may take longer to obtain by companies as stocking inventory ain't cheap Some rifs are harder to find in the UK but plentiful in the asian markets(for obvious reasons), & for us in the UK there are many hurdles our imports have to leap before they are finally delivered to our doors & constantly hoping all the t's were crossed & i's dotted between HK/Taiwan and No5 Hopeful Crescent. Our laws are tight in the UK & rightly so, I just wish some unobtainium rif's could be bought from within the UK (or from 'our European warehouse'). On a personal note... more Uzi's, more L1A1's (especially with wooden furniture), more GPMG's, more Sterlings etc. I'll be visiting Raresoft asap due to their selection of items. All you have to do is visit the 'What have you just bought' section to see what members of this forum want from retailers in the UK.
