Ah - where do I even start. The Tokyo Marui AKX is where it all started for me, my first ever airsoft gun. Some say I jumped straight into the deep end with it but if you ask me, it’s the only way to do it. A gun I’ll never sell, I’ve even started stocking up on spares to further future proof it. I’ve had it close to 2 years now and I now own 5 guns including an M4 MWS, I can comfortably say the AKX is still my favourite of the bunch, never skipped a beat on me. the only ever time it failed on was in the middle of winter at around 2 degrees Celsius on an outdoor field on full auto, the nozzle wasn’t sealing as it had completely frozen up. I warmed up the bolt and mag with my hands and it was back to normality - this issue is totally normal for gas guns in cold temperatures. I must say, the gun shoots exceptionally well out of the box - my first 3 skirmishes I had ran it completely stock internally and it done just fun (as expected from a Tokyo Marui) however it did lack a little punch, so I updated the following: (I went balls deep in on the upgrades) - tight bore inner 6.01mm barrel 250mm length, which yes - does slightly stick out of the front when the muzzle is off. Some people did say it was too tight for an auto capable gun, to which I would ever so slightly agree I think the 6.03mm barrels would do just fine. But the 6.01 never let me down and enables absolute laser beams. - QU4D hop rubber, at first i put in as experimental because they were new on the market - it’s safe to say I haven’t looked back and now have one in my MWS. - 70degree hop nub, you can comfortably hop .30g BBs stock, I just went the extra mile. - ibex NPAS, great little unit would recommend holds its adjustment without fail. - Bavtac 115% recoil spring, you’ll realise quickly the stock spring feels very sluggish and lifeless. Again, would recommend if you’re after that snappy realistic bolt kick. - heavy recoil bolt weight, in all honesty probably not needed. I’ve also bought a Airtac HPA adaptor, lines and tank for it too but nowadays I’m after realism, I’m currently running 6 gas mags. (The reloads are just too satisfying). I won’t bother going into the furniture but one thing I would say is to change out the stock, it’s in my opinion the worst thing about the gun. all in all, I’m about £1,500.00 into and yes it’s a lot of money for what is in reality a toy. Would I do it again if I didn’t have the AKX, yes I fucking would. Honestly for anyone thinking of getting an AKX or even the AKM - what a platform it is. (I can assure you that the grip is now on the gun the correct way round ?)

A gnatty little RS Arisaka hand stop for my OSW

Any opportunity to put my hands in my pockets.

Worth noting for those AKX owners: - Hephaestus do a very good NPAS valve. - dragonworkshop do a complete after market nozzle replacement. - FEDA do a nozzle shell replacement that promises a slight boost in FPS.

You have the message receipts of the deal so if he does dispute it, that should be enough evidence to side with you... However the "experts" at PayPal may read your message as "Pay me 210 for everything and I'll give you one extra magazine" which this highly intelligent individual also seemed to think you meant. Re-reading the conversation I can kind of see where he got the miscommunication from. Offer for him to return the replica to you in the same condition it was received and tell him you'll issue a refund excluding fees and postage if he's dissatisfied, 9 times out of 10 that's enough to dissuade them from seeking action AND if he refuses then you have further evidence to prove you did try to handle the situation and he, the buyer, refused your help if he does open a dispute

It is fairly small and is mainly an outdoor CQB site with some rather nice woodland parts. it is well run and has a very good safe zone. Lunch can be ordered from the hotel when you sign in to the site. Make sure that all guns are in a bag or case when moving them between your car and the safe zone. Follow the rules or Ray will throw you out, which is a good thing. It is solo friendly.

Went a bit mad this week. Started with a used from the classifieds here WE Apache MP5 with the fixed/sliding stock and the A2/flash light hand guard and 3x 45 rd mags. When I picked it up I was offered a WE Sig 226 for a great price so picked that up as well. Later in the week I passed Patrol Base to pick up a battery and BB’s and while wondering around the shop decided the MP5 needed a suppressor, modern hand guard, foregrip and another suppressor. Looking forward to using it on Sunday, just need to have a play around and set it up. Very happy I now have the MP5 look from Die Hard and all the other 80’s action films but I’m not looking at the classifieds for a couple of months.!!!!!

Trying to make my Hi-Capa to look a little like a 1911! I just need to get the safeties to be black to match the two tone aesthetic. Also added Tritium sights to be able to aim better in low light conditions

The last version of my akx. I replaced the laylax stock for the JMAC SS8-RP + JMAC folding system and added handcrafted wood parts: rizer, pistol grip and front grip (copy of the zenitco rk-6l).

At least try to be realistic. ?

Dunk it in a bucket of water or hose it off , leave it to dry .

Sad news today chaps and chapettes. It is with great sadness and a heavy heart, I must report the end of my beloved MS2 sling clone. This is the very sling that started this whole thread. I never imagined it would grow to be so popular over the years. 31 pages, and 280k views! Thank you for 12 years of service. RIP Sling ??
