Poorly shimmed AEG gear boxes really grind my gears.

Quality over quantity 😁 All metal version weighing a satisfying 1.75kg And newest toy. Limited usefulness in a game but so cute and fun

I think we can all agree that no matter what you think of glocks, at least they don't look like this

Looks like genuine PLA issue one, but you can buy those on ebay for as little as £88 + shipping, as there are hundreds of thousands of them made.

£370 for a plate carrier which is probably from Aliexpress and can be found on ebay for £150 plus P&P? Sure, sign me up....

WE Scar H V3 GBB arrived today, just spent the last 2.5 hours putting the PTS KDG MREX 4.25" handguard on it, as it requires careful modification to fit the WE.

The best option would be to take it to a reputable tech near you or find someone trust worthy (and who knows what they're doing) and let them have a run at it. Some, if not most, techs will let you post your gun to them if you don't want to travel. The ARP9 is a good gun, i'd suggest getting it fixed rather than selling it. If you bought it online using paypal G&S, you could try pushing for a refund from the seller as it's not functional and I assume it was advertised as working.

I don’t think I even need to add a comment here

Gunnery Sgt Hartman's reaction to finding a jam donut in Private Lyle's foot locker from Full Metal Jacket springs to mind.

These used to be issued with the SA80. Mostly always sacked off to the locker to save weight.....

I find bipods to be unnecessary extra weight most of the time. When running support guns or a bolt action I found they got in the way more than I used them.

Missed my old M11 so much I got 2 more so I can rip unsuspecting sods to absolute shreds.

I bought this barely used Well Pro WE06 PPK-20 and five mags for a very decent price. All I have done so far is change the very basic mosfet for an AB++, fit a Macaron and omega nub, and fit an SHS high torque motor. It is very snappy and runs nicely on 11.1v.

People not selling the exact part I need so I have to go back to looking for really weird bits for my broken pews. 😂 (Although to be fair I'm slowly depleting Mr huttarmouries pile of bits 😂😂)

New toys!

Reddit's the arsehole of the internet, full of uninteresting vapid attention-whoring cunts. Can't stand it.

Calm down PAL, he's kidding, you got trolled by a nobody on airsoft hub, no one really cares, even the police, but maybe the law should include a proviso that nobody sells rifs under 18, that way they won't get their panties all twisted if called out 😜

What if AntM is Ant Middleton, from the SAS tv show... OP, I appreciate this doesn't help, but may add some levity to the situation

OP: "I just bought this, is this any good?" Forum: "not really" OP: "Well, let me tell you why it's good and you're all wrong"

If you can get one to actually be shipped, I have a friend who ordered at the preorder stage, and STILL hasn't received it. Communication from Toxicant is dogshit, and they just leave you in the dark endlessly. All the toxicant gubbins that guy has in the listing hits £1600, then you pay another 300+ in tax at the border, and you won't avoid it as it ends up in ParcelForce's grubby mitts. The sad reality is, he will sell it as people want them enough to put up the insane money.

Exactly like that but built like jabba the hutt 😂 Now I just need Edcase to sell me his latest 2 acquisitions... That CT25 would fit nicely in the VSR stock and would share mags with my drug lord and I could be the Mac king 👑

The valves will probably fit, WE fill valves are very generic , I've used them in loads of other brands .

£20 postage too

Just an oldie that I found, taken at Dogtag at Horsham

Thanks for the reply! Yep, filling them correctly, the bolts seems to run OK, doesn't drag and takes little force to open, though the nozzle sticks in the hop chamber quite tightly so that could be a source of resistance. Haven't checked the nozzle since I opened and regreased it, though it was at least second hand to me, so it could be a shot o ring like you said. Sadly there's not a lot of WE gas gun users round my way it feels like. I've seen one other l85 in the wild but I don't know the guy. I should mention as well that I would probably like to get a dual valve if possible anyway as I like them better. My hearing ain't the best and I'm better with feeling the mag go cold to determine fill level like with my mws mags :😀 Thanks again for the reply! I'll take a look at the o ring and get back to you. In the meantime if anyone else knows the answer to my dual valve question I'd be grateful as well Cheers!

AHH that's better 😌.

Getting hold of a real one will make a huge difference. The airsoft versions feel nothing like as solid as a real one. That said, I'm still not a fan for most builds, just a little bit bulky for me.

I wish we could do a team-up but unfortunately I can't play anymore. (May not have been close enough anyway) Here's an old one from Skirmish Wycombe in 2021 I'm facing the camera, my son is next to me and @GAMBLE is on the right

I have made a couple of really good purchases through AirsoftHub; however, on both occasions, I dealt with the seller face to face.

Another plus this place has over faceache is that members can have different opinions and discuss or debate them without acting like a bunch of teenage girls talking about their favourite boyband. Sure, we might use slightly spicy language but that's totally different to just throwing childish insults around because the other person disagrees

They are very flimsy and prone to snapping. At least the 2 I've tried have done that. Not really useful and barely used the bipod function.

Daft question , but are you filling them correctly ? mag upside down . All of my WE stanags will happily do 2 loads of BBs with one gas fill, actually it's more like 2.5 loads but I rarely need to use that many. Mine are used in my L119's but also in my L85 which is the same spec as yours , RAtech NPAS and washers on the recoil rods. How free is your bolt ? if it's dragging that will use more gas , have you checked the O ring on the back of the nozzle ? again if it's shot it'll be using more gas . Do you knpw anyone else with a WE that takes stanags so you can compare perfomance in another gun ?

I feel like it's the usual thing of trying to do two jobs and not quite doing either of them well.

That Sig is beautiful. Looks so realistic. Which brand is it? Awesome colt too.

that's a cure for the timing bug. essentially, there's a point in the cycle where the trigger will go kinda dead as the cutoff lever is still engaged. flicking to auto overrides this and lets it fire with the odds being when you flick back to semi it's unlikely to have stopped in the dead zone. this is why i reccommend against active braking mosfets if they aren't paired with precocking, as they can stop the box right in the danger zone. although that doesn't sound like what's going on here if the trigger is dead after a blast of auto.

Don’t do it!!! Keep this forum going However, there are many Facebook groups This forums Facebook is linked below. That doesn’t have chat going on as it acts as a touch point for the forum and is likely to be used for the status of a major outage etc. It can be handy to have it anyway, for both its main purpose and for the Facebook algorithm to top up tour interest in airsoft, thus then suggesting others https://www.facebook.com/share/18gojAvwDN/?mibextid=wwXIfr A thing that Facebook compliments well along side forums is for sub groups - especially local region and/or site groups, that gets the opportunity to see what’s going on, meet like minded local people etc Next is the niche parts of airsoft - MilSim, speedsoft etc - good for like minded people and finding things further afield for your preferences (or discovering the local one that you have never heard of) It goes bad when the dispersed groups take the world away from the forums, which was the cause of the fall of forms, but followed when Facebook added more rules and people trickled back to forums (mainly for a sale) I suggest searching Facebook for local site names, sub genres and then seeing what else the algorithm comes up with I know that you say that you don’t use Facebook, but along with Reddit it is where chat happens Consider making a basic account just for airsoft that does not need to be your real name

That's one of the most compelling cases to restore the gun to factory defaults as he has all the original parts. Not to dismiss his skills teching his own airsoft guns but surely a stock GBBR is more likely to sell? All the other accessories can be sold individually or in smaller bundles.

Sometimes this can be sorted by flicking between full & single shot, there' a thread about this topic somewhere but I'm not sure where. If you end up chucking it in the canal, I have one for sale 😉

Talking to me pal? Getting the police contacted on you can affect future jobs, aswell as many other things?

Pro tip: don't call your hits and you'll live. Follow me for more mortality loopholes.

If you are a child , and are having problems with an adult on the internet , perhaps it’s you that should phone the police or at least tell your parents ? Rather than go on another forum and cause more drama ?

I've some time on my hands at the moment so thought I'd play around with some posh spray paints and templates, a few shots of todays results, and I very much welcome contructive criticism...

There's only two things I can't stand on this forum: posters who are intolerant of other people's cultures, and the Dutch.

Surely that calls for a team up?

I may or may not have exactly the same loadout.. 😬
