Vote Farage and he’ll do a Trump trade war on China to protect the UK airsoft market or not

Definitely showing my age there ?? Between that and the "Ooooh Geordie" tango advert....ahh Thems were the days! ??

For anyone not old enough to recall the days when you could have smoking adverts that implied they made you sexy....

That's a name ...

Showing your age with the Carlos Fandango reference there! All y OE parts are littered about the place in various boxes and bags "just in case" but you could just flog them off here. Right, I'm off to have a smooth, mellow cigar...

custom gbb workshop S&W M686 revolver ares airsoft

Work in progress. Swapping out this handguard for the Magpul go-to, have the Magpul pistol grip as well to put on. Just need to figure out the least awkward light mounting situation and I think I’m done

Turns out one of the contacts were bent. I bent them back into shape and it fixed it. ?

Ban hammer please;

My NGRS MP5 sneaky slut. I love this gun, shoots so well and works so flawlessly. Waiting on a longer VFC claw mount rail to move the optics back a little. 3D printed tail cap to fit the ICS folding stock, Prometheus barrel with 4uantum bucking + nub, M100 spring. I think it's right around 1j on 0.28s, sufficient for me. Has a very "functional" pressure switch arrangement for the X400 clone, but i like it. The short rail section was machined to match the radius of the silencer, and a small screw is used to index it into the correct position.

Seconded. I've used WGC, Redwolf and JK Army a fair few times and they've been really good. JK Army have been especially fast for me lately. BoomArms have a more limited stock but are also really good. Proact/Action are great. Imported a bunch of VFC guns and parts from them, always been reliable and surprisingly cheap.

WGCShop, Redwolf, JKArmy, Tiger111HK. Also check Taiwanese ones like Proact, especially for VFC stuff.

They made you ‘sixy’

Hate discord, it weird and now they no longer offer sales I don't see the point of it. Forums are still th e best.

Connor, this isn't a gameshow, points don't make prizes, stop making work for us, read the rules ffs?

Hooooookay. 1) any thing that is AR based, but not 416/417/SR25 for example. Some are specific to things like MWS or PTW so watch out for that but as long as it says AEG compatible and isn't off an AK you should be fine. 2) the original nut is most likely specific to THAT handguard but any decent handguard should come with its own barrel nut (unless you're going old school and want a delta ring arrangement but I doubt that). Also, if you buy a G&P barrel make sure it isn't a taper fit one or you'll need an extra adapter. 3) yeah, let us know how THAT goes! /jk 4) what OEM stuff are you meaning? If you need a Dremel to fit a handguard to (basically) an M4, you done fucked up somewhere. You MIGHT need a specific tool for the barrel nut if you get something like a URX4 but that's a whole different story.

They don't stock parts, so its kinda moot. The only retailers who actively stock parts for anything GBBR consistently is Milspec & HPA UK, and from past experience of the latter i'm fairly sure for at least half of their 'stock' they're dropshipping.

So it appears next month will be the E4 release date. Imagine we will see them on WGC shop etc. first. Will get an idea of the pricing if nothing else.

I mean, if they actually stand behind a warranty, and keep parts in stock, and have techs who can fix them, I can see where the markup is. Iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiif.

I mean, that's a good reason to not play at a site. But then I'm surprised that the sites in question are apparently wanting a bolt-gun to come in at under 1.88J ("450fps") to begin with. Wait, unless... are these CQB sites? ?

Ladies and gentlemen and everything in between. We did it 02/08 GAS ONLY GAME At the gaol. Organised by ALPHA 55 will be following the same rule set as our private day. https://airsoft.alpha55events.com/event/the-goal-15-03-2024-2/ The last day was a phenomenal day. Now its time to twist his arm into getting the same photographer.... Ps. The next one will be organised by us in conjunction with south coast cqb ?? https://discord.gg/FDF4BwcE https://www.facebook.com/groups/3222506634554879/?ref=share https://chat.whatsapp.com/Hd9rwKMEDQaGSUyGTnvfoE

If the FPS is too hot and there's no adjustable power valves, the first thing is to try Duster gas instead of green gas if you haven't already done that. Then apart from DIY adjustments that i have no clue how to do, you could be a bit cheeky and just swap for a shorter barrel, but be careful of the greater joule creep even if the site dosen't measure by joule or account for it.

It'd be a shame if someone signed that e mail address on to some dodgy mailing lists

I’ve received a response to my wanted add, asked for photos as per forum rules, with name and date. Scammer has obliged but I’m not convinced by that lovely photoshopping on 2 different photos of 2 different rifles ? ?

This is simultaneously hilarious and infuriating and tragic.

That's a use, but it's a rare one. If someone gets uppity about me "shooting too close" when I know I'm not (because I've been dealing with a 30m MED for literal decades at this point) then it allows me to prove without argument that I am correct. I mostly use it for longer distance, because it allows me to know roughly where I need to aim for the really long distance shots (talking like... 85m+). It's not the exact science that it is in real-steel shooting, but I've found it can give me an idea of roughly where I need to aim on my scope reticle to hit the shot with somewhat decent success. If there's wind, success chance drops a bunch, but it still gives me a good starting point to then work out where I need to shoot accounting for wind as well. Also useful for recon purposes. Being able to tell other people exactly how far away stuff is can come in handy too.

People say that to me a lot

One to add to the book of challenging wanks ?

Games are won & lost in the safe zone based on kit worn & fielded.

I have done it. Here in the land of cowboys and Indians, we have no rules, and no limits to our wankery Here’s Leo’s simple recipe for making the refs come over and stare whenever you test fire on the range… Traditional wisdom is that fast motors and fast gears are not friends. TRADITION LIED: Tienly makes the best brushed motors on the market, if not the cheapest, followed by Star Wei. Quality build and hand-wound armatures become increasingly important if you want your build to be functional in game without the motor grip turning into one of Gusteau’s Microwaveable Plasma Ultrabirritos. Oh yeah, and shredding your brushes while it’s at it. If built well, a 40K brushed motor can get you to 40RPS when paired with 13:1 gears and an 11.1v. Gears: any solid gear set will work for a while, as long as the bevel meshes well with your pinion of choice. To actually get high speed out of this thing without brute forcing it like some sort of wanker ape, we need to push up the efficiency numbers. To hit 40, you need 80% efficiency. 85% gets you to 43. And so on. SHS/rocket work alright. Siegetek are the best (but seemingly nonexistent in the UK). Solink have a good rep with folks that I trust, and are readily available, so I would go with those. Bearings. You can go bushings if you like with no issue, but real speed demons shell out for J-caged bearings, which can handle the increased stress of what we’re about to do to them. Be wary though, as many of these suckers are tall, and can interfere with selector activities. The “shortest” on the market are 2.5mm thick. Spring. To avoid PME, we need to punch that piston fast and forcefully. PDI makes the best, but Guarder comes in a close second. I would suggest buying at least equivalent of an M130 and M140. And to bleed off that extra spring power we… Shortstroke? No. Not before we have to. Short stroking damages both our tappet timing and our pressure spike, which I’ll discuss in a second, so we avoid it if we can. Instead we shorten our barrel. As any tech knows, all the spring strength in the world means nothing if it all blows out your o-rings and packing seal. This is the same for BB acceleration time. If there is no time to accelerate, it matters not what the ultimate velocity could have been. I would aim for 100-150mm and increase if you can. Cheap stock barrels from various manufacturers can be used to great effect in testing before any expensive parts are purchased. Did you know that most G&G ARP9s come with the equivalent of an M130 installed? Short barrel, fast cycle speed, strong spring. To make sure we can feed the frenzy we need a good stiff tappet and strong spring. This isn’t too complicated. Any stock or upgrade tappet that accomplishes the mechanical demand will do just fine. Guarder makes a good one. King arms does as well. Lube the rails and make sure it slides easily. O-ring drag is real. Double o-rings were invented to solve a design/manufacturing tolerance issue, not a design/airseal issue. Nothing wrong with it if it works for you… but Arcturus, Krytac, and I believe Guarder and Lonex make great single o-ring nozzles that may very well provide better fitment with your nozzle tube and less drag while you’re at it. Pick a strong, light piston with a POM head and ditch those bearings on the PH itself. They’re worthless. You need a total weight of about 15gs to be successful here. The easiest way is to use an SHS blue with the big holes and any decent POM head. Lonex, Gate, etc, etc. You can also remove material from any good quality one. Lonex Red FMRs and Arcturus poly pistons are prime for this. As long as the cylinder and cylinder head seal and don’t have any serious tolerance issues with your other parts, they’ll do just fine. You can easily polish stock brass cylinders to near mirrors of glassy perfection. But if you need to buy one… the Guarder Chromes are nice. As long as you have at least half the cylinder the porting doesn’t matter in the slightest for this. Don’t listen to Negative Airsoft, he does not understand the physics of ported cylinders; the port is not to let air into the cylinder, it’s to allow piston preacceleration. Which brings me back to why we don’t short stroke. When the piston accelerates before sealing with the cylinder, it creates a beautiful little pressure spike that effectively gives you a lot more oomph for less. Ask any HPA user if raising the pressure on their reg changes anything and you’ll understand. Less useful knowledge in this specific case, but great for general teching. Your shimming must be the shimming of Gilgamech and BBkidnu, the great shimmers of yore. We Americans look to George Shimmington. And to power this all, you need a good battery pack. Let’s face it, the vast majority of battery makers and sellers are liars. The packs aren’t IR matched, the capacity and discharge rating are blatant untruths, and the assembly quality is poor. Running your packs at above capacity KILLS YOUR PACKS. If you plug in a beefier battery and your gun gets faster, you’re doing this. You have two ways to combat this. #1 Overcompensate. Recognize the lies, and go so far above and beyond that even the lies place you easily in the green. Turnigy NanoTechs are good candidates. #2 Buy an actually good pack. Kypom are the best I know of. Gens Ace comes second. On the American Airsoft forums we happen to have a guy with a lot of mechanical engineering experience who can actually test cell IR ratings, true capacity, and discharge rates. He’s tested quite a few, and Kypom are consistently closest to advertised. Hopefully some of this is helpful to you! tech on -Leo

People overpricing stuff then when someone with intimate knowledge of the platform tells them why getting dogs abuse back *cough* @leez *cough*

Anyone got an idea on price yet? I'm hoping they haven't gone up dramatically but...

Anyone not cohering with these rules will face a suspension, ban or deletion of their account, this includes all posts and topics. The Guidelines • Search There is a search feature on this forum that will help you to find information that may have already been posted up. Often people experience very similar problems so the chances are that your question has already been answered is highly likely. Regulars to the forums will usually be aware if your question has already been answered several times before, so some may become annoyed you didn't use the search feature. There is a three character minimum length for searching, i.e. MP5, hpa, fps. Try using different search terms to get more results. • Giving advice Give solid advice only if you are sure what you are talking about. Don't mislead people as at best you are risking their money, and at worst, you are risking their safety. It's much better to say your only guessing and let others add to your answer than to lead the person into doing something wrong, and coming back and pointing the finger at you. • Post in the appropriate sub-forums If you want to chat about the latest Airsoft releases, do it in "Latest News". If you are new to the forums and want to ask a question, it might be best in the "Advice & Technical Help" forum. If you want to sell something, the "Classifieds" forums are the place to announce it. Basically, have a look at all the categories and post where you think your topic will be best suited. • Use descriptive titles for new topics Posting a topic with the title "Look here!", or "Please help", will not attract the attention of the users. If you use titles like "JG G36C gearbox problem", or "New gun from ICS!", more people will view your post and will know what they are about look at. Do not post titles in ALL CAPS, do not post misleading titles ("clickbait"). • Use good English and check your spelling! "1337-Speak" should also not be used on these boards. Nor should "text speak", use your word processing software to check for basic spelling and grammar errors, we aren't looking for the best English, but it is a lot easier to read a checked post, than another like, "hi, wel i av a prob wiv me gun u c nd i dnt no wot 2 do". Adding punctuation, full stops and commas make it easier to read. • Use Personal Mail (PM) Instead of posting in a Sales / Swaps topic which will cause it to 'bump' that topic just use your PM to communicate asking and answering questions. Sellers should be aware that any post, for whatever reason (especially answering questions or making a comment), that are before the 7 days is considered a bump. If you cannot receive PM then try deleting some old ones to free up space. • Caps lock Do not post in all Caps lock as it looks like you are shouting at somebody and is also very annoying to read. Topic and advert titles are to be in normal sentence case, not in all CAPITALS. • Don't post duplicate topics Multiple topics started about the same thing may be deleted, merged or moved at the moderators' or my discretion. If you intend on using the Classifieds forum you must read and follow the rules • Use "Smileys" effectively "Smileys" can be used in your forum posts. If you are joking about something, use them to help indicate that your statement was made humorously. They can be used to indicate your mood and show that something was not meant to be taken seriously. If you don't use them, people will assume you are being serious. Arguments have broken out before because of a misunderstood joke. • No Arguing Don't argue, if you feel offended by the comments of another user or believe a post is offensive, report it to the moderators, and they or I will be deal with it. Starting a fight may result in sanctions for all those involved. Our first decision is our final one! • Be nice to other forum users Treat others as you would like to be treated to yourself. There is absolutely no need to be abusive on these forums. If you are then your posts / topics will be edited or deleted, you may be given a warning, you may get your account suspended, and persistent offenders will be banned. • Post Spam Don't post just to raise your post count, there is no bonus in it, and moderators will become frustrated with the spam. Continued post spamming will result in a suitable sanction. • Be Constructive If you don't have something constructive to add to a thread then don't post at all. This applies especially in the "Classifieds" section, if you have something to say, PM it to the seller. Comments like "good luck with the sale" or "nice gun" are also not appreciated. Repeatedly ignoring these guidelines when you post, may lead to your posts or account being moderated/edited. If you intend on using the Classifieds forum you must read and follow the rules Forum Rules The following are rules that must be adhered to. Failure to follow these rules will attract the attention of the forum moderators. All moderators are friendly people and follow the rules laid out to them, they are there to enforce the forums rules, if you have a problem with a particular moderator please PM me "proffrink" personally. • Thread bashing/trolling There will be some posts or threads in the forum that you may not like. If you dislike somebody's thread or some of the people participating in the discussion simply don't bother reading or replying to it. Posting/trolling in it with the sole purpose of having it closed (bashing) will not be tolerated. • Off topic Try to stay close to the original topic of a certain thread as much as you can. If you wish to talk about something else make a new topic, do not use an existing one. Remember to use the search function as there may already be a topic for what you wish to talk about. • Spam Adding posts that contribute nothing to the conversation (spam) will be deleted or merged with a previous post. Do not "bump" your threads by posting irrelevant information or just "bump". It is spam and will be deleted. Continuous spamming will result in warning points being added to your account, a suspension, or a ban from the forums. • Advertising No one is to use their account to place advertisements in their signature, avatar or any posts. Anyone caught will have their account, including all posts and topics deleted. They may also be banned by IP depending on the seriousness of the offence. Retailers / shops are not to place any adverts in the Classifieds. A shop can create one topic in the Places to Buy section, using the shop name as a title, with a link to your website. • Duplicate Accounts Each user is only allowed one account. Duplicate accounts take up valuable system resources and annoy other forum users. It is very easy to spot duplicate accounts created or used by the same person, and any duplicate accounts found will be removed. Breaking the following rules will result in an immediate IP ban, deletion of account and removal of all posts and topics. • Absolutely NO References glorifying or inciting drug-misuse References glorifying or inciting criminal behaviour or violence Images or videos of graphic violence Images or videos of an adult or graphically sexual nature Images or videos that show drug misuse • Racial, Sexual and Religious Equality This site makes no discrimination between people of different race, sex, or religion. Airsoft is a sport for all, and these forums reflect that. We welcome everyone except those who demonstrate intolerance toward others. • Illegal/Banned Subjects You cannot discuss anything that will help someone break the law in his or her locale. This means talking about: How to evade paying tax on imported goods How to make a semi-automatic replica shoot fully-automatic in a country that does not allow this feature How to make your own or modify pyrotechnics How to get restricted items past customs How to get restricted items if you are under-age Any other illegal activities If you intend on using the Classifieds forum you must read the and follow the rules The link is very accessible from within the Classifieds forum if you wish to read the rules at a later date.

Update! …. Can’t be fixed refund issued ?

Man, it's such a niche rifle that there's no adjustable valve options. It doesn't even have an inbuilt flute valve.
