fun project. Picked up a worn PTS Masada AKM from Strykerles with a few known issues. Originally it looked like this: I stripped it completely down, removed all the old paint and replaced the micro switch in the gearbox which was goosed. Cerakoted the upper receiver with Magpul flat dark earth, put in a new front sight and replaced a few other bits. Turned out pretty good.

“NURPOL” ffs, it’ll be written all over it 🤦🏻‍♂️

Skateboard park to us oldies

Ol' Reliable right here

Got help from a friend across the pond, managed to pick up some furniture for my AK. Needs a replacement handguard then a good bit of wear to get the look I'm wanting.

Lol, I tried to skateboard at the ago of 10 (1978ish) and have NEVER been able to balance on one.

I'm a simple man: I see a Masada, I press like.

Worse than that, they will usually only ship within Germany.

When attempting to build your M14, ensure you have actually inserted the piston and not wait until you have it fully rebuilt to realise....D'oh!!

> is Chinese Multicam

https://www.usedairsoft.co.uk/custom-equipment/airsoft-gear-and-m4_i81922 Absolute doozy on this one, "top of the range gear" with absolutely zero information about any of it plus it's two tone and a backwards Eotech style sight. Anyone want to go halfs with me?

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

To quote Gavin Newsom on Trump attending "Les Mis"....... "Can someone explain the plot to him please"

One to add to the book of challenging wanks 🍆

Mine always seem to be a work in progress.

If you like that one then you’ll love the Trump rally playlist Americans aren’t known for their sense of irony

Well I'm glad I don't go to skate parks anymore if that's the kind of shit people listen to

Fancy sharing so us other old gits know what he's on about?

'Kin youngsters, i had to look up what a pump track is 👴

Currently loving this. Particularly whilst doing stupid stuff on the local pump track......

Say what you like, Trooping of the Colours looked much better than "Trooping of the Color (Orange)" over the pond...... Despite The Humam Cheeto's best efforts to have a birthday parade for himself in true DPRK style, I did however appreciate the use of "Fortunate Son" for the march past of the poster child for the subject of that song.

Flecktarn and DPM? 🤔

Less than £135 so they'll probably refuse to ship anyway.

I'd put money on them not selling outside of the EU.

"Tokyo Mauri"

For 11.1 thats probably a sound ratio. I would say the non-maple leaf nubs can sometimes be a bit off-square, so i'd typically go for the maple leaf branded one. If cash is shorter then an external mosfet like an ab++ or warfet could be substituted.

The baby shit paint job is actually well done. Looks historically authentic. If I had the money I would buy that.

So, progress is being made. I bought a used DE M904E, which was in a worse state than I'd assumed, but it had its stock gears replaced with 13:1 SHS ones (short stroked by two teeth, I'd rather they had been as is) so there's one less thing to buy. I'd spent far more than I wanted to, but the inside of the gearbox was a bit of a shit show, and remaining parts will arrive soon for me to crack on and hopefully get it running ready for the Red Alert Battlesim Lite next weekend. My attempts with painting / rattle cans continues...

To me it just comes across as asking for their ego to be stroked. Don't get me wrong, I know we all get a little happy when a picture gets a like or positive comment but this to me just looks like begging for attention. When they've done that it's just low level trolling and unfortunately too many people take the bait (which can be funny at times, I remember when someone posted on the red-alliance forum about their Russian modern warfare 3 loadout. Seeing the purists loose their shit over obvious ragebait was hilarious).

Threads where the OP asks "what do you think of my....." followed by "please don't judge". First of all asking for opinions on something is asking for judgement. Second, if your ego is that fragile that you don't want any negative opinions then maybe don't ask for people's opinions and last but by no means least, if you're happy with your kit then what the hell does it matter what other people think?

Baby poop is goated. I will die on this hill.

Hello again! I finally got round to fixing my gun and it seems to be operating okay. Piston head is now thread locked in. I feel that there is a slight springy "twang" to the end of each shot, but not sure what I can do about that without breaking it open again; I want to get at least one game day under my belt with this thing before messing around with it more. Anyhoo, the FPS has now gone up by around 20(!), which I attribute to the new XT POM nozzle with o-ring just giving overall a better air-seal. However, the gun is still exhibiting the odd effect of having a higher FPS on auto compared to semi. Applying one step of active breaking to the semi-mode brings the semi FPS up to that of full auto. Here are the chrono results for my last 24 shots (with 0.25g ammo): SEMI 317.2 320.4 310.7 322.1 316.9 311 319.5 311 311.5 317.4 310.7 302.9 320.7 322.3 FULL AUTO 311.4 320.5 317.9 320.7 315.9 309.8 309 313.6 317.6 319.2 308.6 MIN - 302.9 MAX - 322.3 AVG - 315.1 Attached is a the above expressed in a line chart. Copilot says my hardest shot comes out to 1.21 joules on 0.25g (this is using an M105 spring). I'll look to stepping down to a M100, as I really didn't expect that switching out the nozzle to one with a o-ring would "improve" things that much. The joule-age is a tad too high for me to be comfortable. Anyways, I think there is definitely some weird cycling issue here, but I can't really figure out why, or what is causing it. It's interesting that the gun appears to repeatedly peak at around 320 FPS before dropping back down to ~310FPS. Again, turning OFF all active braking will drop my shots to approx 290fps on semi (unchanged on full auto). Does anyone have any insight? (I have a video showing the pistol cycling which I'll try to link to soon, to help with diagnosing.)

After a 10 year break, I'm back. LCT AK RS Type 97b

A simple bubble test should find the source of any leak before you go buying the wrong part.

I'm probably asking the obvious, but are the mags leaking at all? Could be a slight leak at the output valve or the main o ring inside the mag? I take it, when it fails, there is no gas left in the mag? That's all I can think of at the mo!

Just remembered another pet peeve,you see an item new in the classifieds, so you start a pm stream: ME: Hey mate, if this is still available I'll take it please.... SELLER: Yeah, still here mate..... ME: Cool, send me your PayPal & I'll send it over....... Half hour later, your message has been read, the items marked as "sold" but no reply to your earlier pm. Hour or two later...... ME: Mate, still waiting on your paypal details ?......... 2 hours later you see your message has been read, but no reply ......... 24 hour later........... ME: Dude, what's occurring, are you selling this to me or what ? Hour later, your message has been read, still no reply...... 2 days later......... SELLER: Yeah, soz man, somebody messaged before you........ WTF, SO WHY DID YOU NOT SAY SOMEONE'S SAID THEY WANT IT, BUT IF IT FALLS THROUGH YOUR NEXT IN LINE ETC. & WTF IS THE GHOSTING ABOUT 🤬 Definitely should be a reason for negative feedback, even if it's only to wake their ignorant dumb asses up ffs.

Ich bin ganz sicher das ich deutsch bin, es tut mir leid das englisch nicht gut genug ist für Sie.

7/10. Great poster, probably not German. Grammar could be improved. Would read again.
