Not so much an airsoft day but more of a nearly finished building our own private killhouse 🤪 Nearly a years hard graft has gone into building our own private killhouse between 5 of us with some help from others, rain, snow and the cold we put this up by ourselves Looking forward to running the beta test day next Sunday the 27th

Current collection

Do you ever look at your collections and think... damn i wish i had of picked a cheaper hobby... class A drugs, super yachts or manned space flight - something cheap, you know...

That 17 has a terrible overbite..

Well been into Airsoft since before UKRA was even a thing. Took a bit of a brake around 2015 and got back into Airsoft over 3 nearly 4 years ago. Quite a few good changes in RIF quality and choice 😁 spent the last few years working on loadouts and RIFs deciding what I like and don't like. Tried lots of different roles from Sniper, DMR, Gunner and Rifleman. Been working with HPA and AEG. I like both platforms. Sniper and DMR not really my thing. But Gunner and Rifleman are more my thing. Not much else to say other I try to get out for a game day at lest once a week.

Wrong stock, pistol grip and magnifier but it's a work in progress of the new Royal Marine MCX in 300 Blackout. Based on a VFC.

Second half of the gen5 disassembly video

As the suns out, I decided to get my HK’s out. All VFC GBB’s. I’m seriously toying with getting a G3 again to add to the collection.

Been wanting one for a while, it was on sale, so I had to!

"Bang off the limit"

Finally sorted and got round to painting the Tanaka I bought just before Christmas. Looking sharp now, if I do say so myself...

Red Alert last weekend, first run out with my Arktis split front chest rig. Worked pretty well, knock off SPUD pouches were...OK. Fine for M4 mags but a bit of a struggle with G3 ones.

Had a work trip to california so hit up Evike's warehouse, a 511 store and bass pro shops, taking advantage of the weak $ vs £ at the moment... - Crye Airlite SPC plate carrier - Beez cummerbund for above - Crye back panel for plate carrier - MP5 metal body - MP5 flashlight forgrip - Vortex crossfire RDS - Cabelas 1-6x LPVO & Mount - Magpul MBUS front and rear sights - Magpul sling - P90 bespoke sling - Prometheus tightbore for the MP5 - Prometheus barrel r-hop patches - 2x 4uad buckings to try out - 5.11 Taclite trousers - 5.11 belt - 5.11 double mag pouch - 5.11 rolling duffle - 5.11 shorts - 3-4x 5.11 shirts and t-shirts - Bunch of cowboy shirts - Bunch of patches I shall be in trouble when the wife see's the credit card bill!

I couldn't resist.

Not me, the wizard @Anonymoose again. He worked some of his spellcraft yesterday, started by trimming down the side locating tabs on 2 different AR AEG outer barrels that weren't quite compatible with the 2 upper receivers in question (noq sit in beautifully), then also fixed some of china's mistakes and drilled some new holes in a QD attachment lever for a PTS Unity Aimpoint micro mount. The big job was converting this real Geissele bolt catch to fit on to an AEG lower (and obviously not protrude inside so there's room for the gearbox). There were MANY steps to this, far more than I've shown, and he also made a custom little piece to sit inside and secure the lever, since a real one would have its' internal segment and a bolt carrier holding it in place.

"Made" a locking pin to lock my SCAR-H MK20 to semi-only for DMR use. Very basic; drilled and tapped the selector cam and used a machined bolt to hit that rear pin in semi so the selector can't turn any further. Gonna take it to RIFT tomorrow and hopefully get some kills in with it.

Pre “bubble bursting” pricing here Ive seen these change hands for circa £500 for a similar package Must be the “it’s just not selling” price to tell his other half he’s trying!

It’s a British G17:

I think what he means is to put your ukara number as part of the address, eg Joe Bloggs ukara no ABC1234, 69 High Street, Anytownville, Acounty. AB1 C23

It's a pogo bike. There's a spring in the red bit😁

A collectors edition of the old style Sig P226 from VFC /parabellum

LOL.....

Took me far too long to get round to putting the magpul furniture onto this

That's the real issue bro has: he's built his dream gun, which has value to him. He's likely reduced the value of the components.

Hello. Welcome to the forum.

https://www.airsoft-hub.com/item/38161-m4-ar Non-descript M4 listing without a brand & model. Seller wants £200 where the only photo is an M4 being used at Skirmish Wycombe but nothing to hint the listing itself is legitimate. Bank transfer only because he's allegedly been scammed. Really confidence-inspiring. 🙄 In the words of Whitney Houston, "crack is cheap".

I too was at Worthing yesterday, although whilst @Impulse was in the safe zone, I was off buggering around with his .308 Wolverine MTW to see if that took my fancy. It was bang on the money on .43's and using the C02 wraith stock, so no tank/line. Despite the length and the suppressor, it was actually reasonably light (apart from the scope, I feel NASA may want that back at some point). Weather was unexpectedly cold and drizzling first thing, but this wore off by game on and developed into actual sunshine in the afternoon. Fairly standard attack/defence games, but they work well enough. I found the MTW to be quiet and easy to send rounds at people but... not sure, a little soulless perhaps. On a general note I am not convinced that hordes of 450fps silent ghillie DMR users make for great gameplay (not that that was necessarily the case today) and I wonder at what point Rules might be required to address this. It's a personal bugbear, so unlikely to be resolved any time soon. I did find it a little too easy to send rounds repeatedly down range and suspect I would need a bigger budget for ammo if I played that more regularly (having done about half a bag of .43's by lunchtime). Still, it was nice to get the chance to find that out without having to drop a grand on kit. Lunchtime I swapped over to the NGRS MP5, which was good as ever. As mentioned the airstrike game went well, but I ran out of steam after that and headed back earlier for fear of getting irrationally grumpy (hard to believe I know). Thankfully a bank holiday Monday to finish putting kit away. I'm also a little behind in write ups having played both UCAP Vanquish (again) and Greenops over the last couple of weeks. Vanquish has had improvements despite the short amount of time it's been open, with external barriers having been set up and new tin added to the fencing so shooting/looking through is no longer possible. This time round I spent most of the day outside with only a few excursions through the building. Noteable highlights were standing behind the Polaris ATV whilst an increasingly irate opponent shot at me, convinced I was not taking my hints. Helpfully for him, the marshall pointed out that it has a windscreen, which I was behind as rounds slammed into that instead of me. Well, also partially into the occupants of the ATV, but it's not my fault they parked it there... The site was as always well run and tidy. Cafe was busy again, but at least I preordered. Considering another visit in the not too distant future. GreenOps was standard GreenOps, although a little quieter than usual but actually made for a decent day. Pretty standard, dust got in everything and I accidentally bought a shotgun whilst queueing for lunch. It happens.

Hey Josh, time for a claim I think, but the tech/shop ?, need to initiate it as it appears to have happened on the return journey to you ?.

Crack, he's smoking crack...... but it does seem to be the pure stuff

Genuine military issue.... L119a2.... So much wrong with this.... It's a 416 stock with bits missing lol

So I've finally made time to learn some basic video editing (Davinci Resolve fellow nerds) & after being blown away with what you can actually do these days from the comfort of your living room I've started to unleash some unasked for & unwanted in game footage. You won't find hit markers, "elite sniper" setup shots or "cheaters exposed" here, just real, in game footage from longer more cerebral games. Sorry speedsofters, or Kicking Mustang fans this probably this isn't for you. Its more the sort of thing I'd like to see, but isn't really out there.

I really don't want to come across harshly (I genuinely don't). The used market for two-tone is quite unpredictable because of the smaller buyer base. It's just gone Easter so it's more of a buyer's market than a seller's market until the middle of next month going through summer when things might be more favourable for sellers. There are more airsoft boot sales being hosted these days. Depending on where in the UK you are and the cost of your travel and pitch to sell from, that might be an option for you.

It's a smart move to make them from 18650s, they're ubiquitous in pretty much everything from electric shavers to electric cars - if you pop open a car battery, thousands of them will spill out. However, it also leaves you vulnerable to bad batches or bait-and-switch by suppliers, or ham handed construction. I note Titans claim to be "made in the USA", which isn't the flex they imagine.

Had a morning / afternoon of cleaning and plinking!

testing the abba stand to the max!!! New rubber fitted by the nice man in the van that comes round and takes away the 15 year old rubber from your wheels! All Mot'd and back on the road. now to sort out the other miriad of things wrong with it.

Bit cringe, mate, you should pretend to be a real soldier, not a pretend one.

I've sent them a message too - I've not really found the hop in my GDR lacking in any way but I'll be interested to try it if there's a noticeable gain.

I'm going to defend the lad here, that looks very much like a genuine aimpoint. It's not an M2 obviously but it's genuine, new price of one of those is about 800 at the low end and about 450 used. Painting it is a shame and the price is still too high, but it's not quite as ridiculous as first impression might suggest

It could be just the sound but that gearbox does not sound right at all ! Back the motor off a little and retry

Just finished putting back together my Classic Army/ASG M4 that exploded on the big PB Delta Day, turns out the stock CYMA gears and the extremely cheap DE piston I threw in there that was part of my parts box didn't like a Solink 28k brushless! Caused some extremely nasty PME and exploded both the spur and the piston - threw in some SHS 13:1s and a random CYMA piston I had laying around and it was shooting at 0.127J, only to realise I didn't hook the fucking tappet-spring back on! Sorted now, and it's shooting lovely at 1.107J on a 0.28g. Bosh

Excellent! Well done! I tend to disable the ambidextrous mag catches as they are a pain and I am not bothered by them. I sometimes do the same with the ambidextrous selectors as well.

Happy Easter all. Apologies for the necro, but there is no better thread for me to run in a panic to when I inevitably balls this up. My beloved completely stock M906C gave up the ghost earlier this year, and after cracking it open I (rightly or wrongly) determined that the Falcon ETU was just broken, refusing to turn the motor (and only beeping after a lot of coaxing from me. Its been a while and I foolishly didn't write down what exactly it was doing). All other parts appeared to be in good working order, nothing stuck or caught. So I'm sticking a Perun from @ak2m4into it, new bearings (cos why not), new XT 6.02mm stainless barrel (cos I like the colour and I had a new G&G hop up unit that I wanted to pair with it) and a new m105 spring. Motor I'll sort out later. Please pray for me.

The new agency arms slides just landed on my doorstep today 👍🏽 pretty happy with the first one! shamless plug, but I’ve started recording some of the tech work I do, and as a result, I’m in the process of publishing a few tech videos on the gen5 MOS. Have a look and let me know if you lot think it’s helpful?
