    Cyma cm.040 AKS-74 stock latch replacment?

    Afternoon all So, I have a TWI Raptor SAG folding M4 buffer tube on my CYMA cm.040. It's a nice feeling sturdy alloy piece, but it only just engages with the standard latch on the back of the CYMA receiver. When it is engaged its fine, but it means that if anything so much as brushes the...

    Re-spraying two-tone with vinyl dye rather than plain old spray paint

    Another successfull spray job. Forend, carry handle and stock were all the same blue polymer as the UMP. Once again, the black was built up with several light coats, with about 20 minutes drying time between. Once the coverage looked right I left it for 24 hours and then gave it a couple of...

    Useful things to know about the Umarex Sportline G36c

    Ha! To be honest, I don't mind if you call them silencers or suppressors. I'm not *that* much of a pedant. I seem to have fixed my particular issue. I applied gentle corrective pressure in an upward direction, just to see if anything happened.  there was a *pop* and the barrel was aligned with...

    Useful things to know about the Umarex Sportline G36c

    https://www.silencershop.com/blog/post/silencer-suppressor  ?  Hmmm. That sounds like a bit of a bollock.  That said, the long barrel versions look fine, so It must be possible. I wonder if that's why all the Sportline models seem to be G36C's. Maybe its expensive to make a long straight G36...

    Useful things to know about the Umarex Sportline G36c

    Not fully finished by any means, but the stock adaptor turned up on tuesday, so I borrowed my sons suppressor and tried out a couple of M4 stocks I had laying around. Its currently front wired, the hand guard is pretty easy to remove, and has space for a two or three cell Lipo brick. Do I leave...

    New to airsoft - looking for advice/recommendations

    EDcase makes a fair point. My last comment is probably coloured by the fact that myself, and most of my friends that airsoft, can't resist taking things apart. Knocking cans off the wall at 10 - 20 meters should be comfortably within the capabilities of a £150  gun from the manufactures already...

    New to airsoft - looking for advice/recommendations

    Not a problem Kirsty. I don't know how you feel about such things, but if he's a sensible 14 year old and wants to shoot at targets then have you considered getting him an proper airgun and a half-way decent pellet catching target? Obviously, that would completely rule out shooting at 'live...

    New to airsoft - looking for advice/recommendations

    Hi Kirsty  I'm sure people here can help you out. If anything, you run the risk of getting too much information. If you can provide a bit more info about your requirements then anyone answering can better tailor their advice. How old is your son? Is he hoping to play regular games at a proper...

    Useful things to know about the Umarex Sportline G36c

    I think the 9 rps is more a function of the non specific Nimh pack it came with. I was using that just to check it worked and see what sort of FPS I was dealing with. On the Skirmish day it lasted about a game and a half (50 minutes?) so I reckon its a duffer. I've got a GATE nanoASR to go in...

    Cheers for the comment Jam. I do like a nice AUG. Do us a build thread if you start tinkering. I'm keeping my eyes open for a suitable M14 Socom. It would suit my play style and my regular site (quite woody, no really long sight lines) perfectly.

    Useful things to know about the Umarex Sportline G36c

    After having taken it apart completely (aside from the gearbox) I can find nothing to complain about on the Sportline model. If you paid more I'm sure you might get one that looked more real, but as toy guns go its fine. I chrono'd it before I started playing around and it was doing a solid 326...

    Re-spraying two-tone with vinyl dye rather than plain old spray paint

    Here is a shot of it now that I've finished the respray. When I got it the upper body was made of that two tone blue plastic, rather than being a black one with a retailer spray job. Mag and lower reciever are the original black finish from the factory. I'm very happy with the match. I also...
