    Staccato Slide latch broke in transport?

    Yeah this happened to mine as well, on the second removal to get to the hop it just went and split in two just like that.

    Compatible SR25 VFC (GBB) pistol grips

    Any real steel grip you buy will have a hole for the selector spring, VFC grips don't have the hole. You'll need to either plug the hole in the grip or use a real steel spring/detent. You can also use wolverine MTW detent kit as they're properly sized up, though if you are buying from brownells...

    VFC URGI what upgrades?

    Yeah this is the GBB URGI, not the AEG. First things first give the barrel/hop a clean and check if the nozzle has a restrictor disk, they are awful and can cause horrible consistency issues. If you do have the restrictor then you'll probably be wanting to pick up a standard VFC nozzle with...

    GBBR thoughts...

    I've been using one of the GHK speedloader adapters glued on to a generic loader for my VFC mags, works a treat. I'll need to swap it around to a new one soon though as the loader is on its last legs after years of use ?

    Green gas

    Like the other folks have said you're better off with a 'dry' gas, the silicone is being sprayed through your hop rubber and barrel which messes with your accuracy and means you have to clean a lot more often. As for seals, I think you're better off doing them manually with a decent grease...

    VFC MP7 Gbb

    You'll be fine with ultrair, I run it year round in my TM G17. Only time to really avoid standard propane/green gas with most TMs in the UK is when the temperature gets higher. Over 25C and you'll be best off stepping down to a lower power gas

    Taiwangun alternatives for 8fields gear?

    Yeah I call bullshit on that. I bought a PP2000 a few months back from Gunfire and it got through customs fine, was just a bit slow through the UPS warehouse.

    UKARA

    What Terry said. UKARA just makes it easier for a retailer to confirm you are actually an active airsofter rather than having to contact a site directly. Also UKARA is a non profit organisation, as far as I'm aware the only "money making scheme" is local sites charging for a sign up.

    One thing you wish you knew coming into airsoft?

    HPA is not magic pixie dust. It does not immediately make your gun the bestestest around. GBB is fun and not as much of a pain in the arse as people make it out to be (if you do your research and buy the right thing - which hopefully you'd be doing anyways!) And as a "wish other people...

    CYMA AKS74U

    Well, it would only fit if you had a TM based CYMA, so if you had a CM.045 you'd be out of luck. Even then you'd still need to attach the buffer tube somehow and that receiver is for full stocks. Get a buffer tube adapter like has been posted above.

    Vector Red Dot sights - any good?

    I've got a V3 Maverick (essentially a T1/2 style dot) that I've been using for about a year and a half now. Very good dot for the price, no issues with parallax and the dot is clear, battery lasts a fair while as well. Also got a 3x magnifier from them and that's got nice clear glass also. They...

    AAP-01, not a happy pistol....

    Did you adjust the hop up at all before firing those shots? If not, do so. The AAP needs a touch of hop to do anything, as when it's off, it's very much off. It's either that or the arm has come loose during shipping, of which I've heard of a few instances happening. Mag doing leaky things is...

    Mag identification

    Will lose a bit of efficiency as the gas router for WEs are flat rather than curved like the TM. You can pick up a replacement rubber for a few quid and swap that out pretty easy.

    Mag identification

    Looks like a standard WE Glock 17/18 magazine to me!

    Krytac Hype

    330-350 on .30? That'll up you to DMR level energy at ~1.5 - 1.7J , which means you'll most likely have to lock it to semi. Why are you ordering from Evike? Needless extra cost (import fees, handling charges, etc) and lengthy shipping times when you can get stuff like that from within the UK...
