    ICS M4 hop up unit replacement options

    Thank you - really appreciate the lightning responses on the forum! I will have a think, but the ZCI one you stock looks like it would not be too hard to file down.    thanks again Brilliant- thank you. I’ll get in touch with them. Are there any hop rubbers I should steer clear of with that...

    ICS M4 hop up unit replacement options

    As the title! The plastic hop up unit on my ICS M4 has broken. It seems that this is pretty common but they seem to be unavailable in the UK either in plastic or metal. Does anyone know if this is temporary? If it is I’ll wait, but if it’s not am I best: dremmelling the magwell so a non ICS...

    The 'What have you just bought' Thread

    I’m sure the boots, DMS were more than adequate so the young you made the sensible choice. Can’t scrimp on hydration.

    The 'What have you just bought' Thread

    Finally got a pair of Lundhags - been wanting a pair since the late 80s and the SASS catalogue. They don’t feel as heavy as they look, I can run and the membrane will never fail! Really wish I’d got them a long time ago.

    Hardshells anyone? (Includes PCU ramblings and thoughts)

    Will you actually be able to dry out with a hard shell over wet stuff? It’s going to have to be pretty mad breathable to get rid of all that moisture. My Montane running waterproof claims to 20000/20000 but can’t deal with my sweating so I’m not sure any ‘breathable’ jacket would let you dry out...

    Knee Replacement ?

    I had mosaicplasty in February 2021. I eased back into running in May. Ran up a Munro in September. Played first (ever) game of airsoft November 2021. Woodland site - quite scary but I wore hard knee pads and didn’t take any chances. I can now run about the woods. The op has been an absolute...
