Thanks for the welcome. I can see it's going to be an addictive and expensive hobby... I've a ton of questions, but I'll look thru the old posts before I post much as they've probably already been asked already a million times. The bio ammo, are they any good? I've ordered some as I have access to some land for my airguns but it's shared with livestock and I don't want to cause them any harm. Rick

Welcome

You've made a grand total of 5 posts in 6 years which (apart from this childish rant) are all asking about a very specific gun which not many people own or have any experience with, so it's not really surprising nobody replied. I'm sure you'd be whining just as much if you were given info that was wrong. Try interacting with the forum a bit more rather than making posts like this which, tbh, just make you look like an entitled little shit. As for the bit about needing to be a higher rank to post, there's nowhere here where a minimum post count is needed to access so that's bullshit. If you really think this forum is so bad then just leave. Nobody is forcing you to use it and you're not a train so there's no need to announce your departure. Not that you'll be missed.

Sorry you feel that way but as Austeyr said, you need to engage yourself beyond throwing a hissy fit because you didn't get a reply. I like to think I'm quite well versed on the P90 AEG platform and am happy to offer advice or talk about my own experience with rebuilding gearboxes, choosing replacement parts or upgrades, fitting mosfets, etc. I'm getting more clued up on the MWS platform and am happy to share knowledge and experience, even with those way more knowledgeable than me. Unfortunately, with the SVD platform, I'm neither qualified nor competent to offer any advice on it, let alone on aftermarket parts, so I stay out of that lane. Replying with "sorry, I don't know" helps nobody. I'd imagine that reason was prevalent among others who say your other posts this year and didn't reply. Just because people don't reply to a topic, it doesn't mean there's a cult, nor does it mean the OP is unwelcome. It's great when people here do happen to know about certain niches and they share that knowledge. However, when you conjure up an expectation in your head that strangers will have such knowledge on niche topics, that's on you. If you do reach out to the HRC Discord server, it's probably best not to throw any tantrums there either if you don't get your way.

Welcome to the ranks 😁👍 It's going to be a tough choice what to spend money on 🤣

Hi, just discovered Airsoft. We fired a few at Operation Market Harborough tank show and decided to visit our nearest venue which was outpost Chester. Had a great time, and ended up coming home with the Poseidon thesus M4. Will definitely be going back soon, and will likely a be adding a few more to our collection. Already own a fair few airguns and paintball co2 markers. (25ish) But don't tell the wife.... Looking forward to learning from you lot on here. Thanks. Rick 50, Andy 14.

Does anyone here know what steps are required to run a private game on private land? I know the basics like making sure I have liability insurance that covers Airsoft. Restricting public access to the land and providing adequate protection around the site to prevent stray bbs. I am also a fully trained first aider so this is covered. Risk assessment will be carried out before hand and so on. I ask as me and a few friends want to organise a one of land on some private land. I have a farmer friend who has kindly offered us to use his unused barn area. It's fully private land with full land owners permission and from my air rifle days I know this is considered ok but not sure for Airsoft and I want to organise it properly as some of my friends might invite their friends so I want to be covered legally incase of any complaints or issues.

If you aren't running as a commercial venture and are on private land and not charging money you don't actually "need" any of that. However informing your local police station may be a good idea in case people report the arrival of camo wearing guys in the area

Bio bbs did have a reputation for being a bit crap but this is a legacy from years ago and they're alot better now with more sites are insisting only bio bbs are used. Whether or not they're really that biodegradable is another question for another time. Stick to reputable brands and you should be fine.

It looks like a generic paintball mask so it'll do the job. I'd be very surprised if bbs could fit through those slits. The only issue I can see with it is getting a decent cheek weld on your gun to be able to use your sights

Welcome Rick & Andy

As one of the users who replied to your original topic, I have to agree with Austeyr. The A&K SVD isn't widely used or known at the best of times. Followed up by adding in the CO2 System which as I previously stated, will push it well over any skirmishable limits only makes it even less popular for UK players. If you've used or had questions on almost any other platform in that time then I'm sure you would have been able to find help and knowledge, but being limited to one aging and uncommon platform over multiple years is just like playing on hard mode, unfortunately! For such a niche topic, and as much of a cesspool as it is; Reddit might be a better place to find knowledge on something like the CO2 SVD System. *Edit Looking back, I saw you mentioned buying the mancraft PDIK kit. Did you not ever install that or get it running? It could have been worthwhile to update people on your work if so; I'm sure the PDIK would have produced better results than the CO2 kit, and you could share your results with others here.

🙊............

Welcome 👍

Thank you very much for your information, it is very much appreciated. I have a question regarding the LCT internals: how is it compatibility-wise? Parts such as hop up have an aftermarket counterpart or am I limited to the factory one?

Unfortunately condition on a mid range rif doesn't really add to the value, advertise it at the price you're happy with taking into account postage (approx £15) & pp fees, if it doesn't sell first time keep trying and consider reducing the price each time. Most rif's will find a buyer eventually, price is usually the reason it will or won't sell first time round. And read the rules for sellers.

If you have a site local to you it could be worth offering them the BB's at a good price for rentals? Get some money back and also saves you having to work out a way to get rid of them haha

"It's basically brand new mate, yeah I want £1000 for it, yeah don't worry about the scratches it's still a insert brand here so it's gotta be worth the £1000 as it's basically brand new and still in the box see!" Meanwhile it looks like this:

Should I get rid of the candles and hooded robes...? Your initial post was five years ago, on a niche aftermarket kit for a niche platform. After almost three years you came back again asking for help with the niche aftermarket kit for the niche replica (Even more niche in 2025 due to much better SVD options readily available) and then your final post (Before this one) was again asking for advice on a pretty specific setup which I assume not many people have done - Especially as you was asking for the longest inner barrel when most would look for shorter in something like a GBB SVD. You haven't done anything to contribute to the "community" or be engaging here other than seeking help and then throwing a fit because nobody answered 🤷‍♂️ As our glorious cult leader Tackle said, anything Air Gun related isn't permitted (Even in the Off-Topic section, it's an AIRSOFT forum) which most of the community is aware of - however upon checking the rules @Tackle I didn't see anything specifically mentioning no air gun talks, could be worth adding? This is probably the best community platform for Airsoft to be honest, it's upkept and maintained and has staff that actually do look after the site. The members are great here too. I'm sorry you had a negative experience and nobody helped you with your SVD questions. For the WE I would highly recommend the Heavy Recoil Club discord server as there's a wealth of information for them there 🙂

Your post wasn't deleted, it was hidden & locked, there's a difference. While I appreciate you were trying to give people a heads up, anything to do with airguns, sales or discussions, isn't permitted here. There must be better suited forums for airgun discussion, Facebook pages, or even YouTube reviews you could post. Just not here. & no, its not a cult, just an airsoft community, many projects are discussed here, loads of advice given, but there are some specific rules, which clearly you're not following. Its not rocket science🤔 PS your other posts, the ones you claim to be ignored on, are all pertaining to the same cheap rifle/upgrade you were having issues with. Could it be that no one here has tried to do the same "upgrade" with the same kit, & therefore didnt feel qualified to confidently advise you on the best course of action ?. Four posts on one subject (IN 6 YEARS😏) isn't a great example of you trying to "engage" with the forum, in fact it just shows that you expect the hive mind to be here for you, as & when you need them, & clearly not the other way round. Maybe you're right to give up, although I don't know how we'll manage without your input 🤣

Toxicant have come out with a new pistol slide for the gen5 mos.

The gen5 seems more forgiving. other than a mafioso slide, the other gen5 slides I’ve fitted haven’t required any effort to get working well. you can get the guarder or detonator aluminium slides to within a few grams of the stock slide if you install the lightweight BBU and it runs very well.
