  • Is Maple Airsoft still alive?

    Been looking for some gen 2 SuperFeed springs but they seem to be out of stock pretty much everywhere bar Amped and a couple of canoodian shops.

    Out of stock in Belgium.

    I will order directly from them, it's 50 odd yuros for 4 packs and shipping.

    Yeah my bad, had 9 m4 mags to do...

    Skara
    Skara
    I have 6 M4 mags, 3 ARP9 mags and I'll keep a spare set for when I get more ARP midcaps.

    Checked my order's tracking.

    "failed delivery attempt"

    Haven't left the office (ground floor btw) since 8:30 AM and I'm literally next to the door.

    What the fuck..

    It seems 7:00PM is the delivery time for the postal service in this area, at least that's what the postman told me...

    Private couriers pass around 11ish AM instead

    Workmate was on the phone half the day yesterday with DPD trying to work out WTF they'd done with his Espresso machine, and why they'd tried to deliver it to the wrong place, on the wrong day, despite copious assurances to the contrary.

    All postal delivery systems are clearly not fit for purpose - it's a wonder that they actually manage to deliver anything at all.

    Fun (and sad) fact.

    Private couriers are cheaper than the Postal Service, yet they offer a much better service.

    I think what he's trying to point out is that the titan is a tool designed for a very specific task and it's reliant on the rest of the system performing to a certain standard.

    But if done right it does give you functionality that nothing else does, at least nothing without an air line going into it.

    KWA g19, worth keeping in 2020?

    Parts availability is what concerns me the most.

    I have shit luck when it comes to airsoft, I keep breaking stuff.

    The gun itself is really old an after searching the internet there are not many parts available.

    Skara
    Skara
    I think I'll keep it just for plinking.

    Mag literally vented all the gas after the first shot, but it vented from the base plate somehow. (it's been stored with GG in it and a drop of silicone oil)

    Hot water method may be useful, if not strip mag and lube O-ring anyway.

    Turns out the Ares M-Lok rail comes with 6 shit screws that are too short, they only engage the barrel nut threads by idk, not even a full rotation.

    Luckily I had some steel ones, same size, but a mm longer.

    FRV has just shipped my order.

    Which I made yesterday.

    What the fuck?

    "lead time is 5 - 15 days"

    I guess no LEO or serving Military ordered anything these days, afaik they get the priority over us bb slingers

    Guess not. Great times eh?

    maybe someone cancelled an order that happened to be the same as what you wanted?

    Which colour for a FRV belt?

    Just knocked out a tooth filling with a fucking Pringles chip.

    Fuck me.

    Fucking hell that sucks.have you tried the Walkers Max Strong jalapeno and cheese?

    Very nice I like to put some in a bacon sarnie...most excellent

    Stick to Quavers or monster munch, or just pasta in your case ?

    Steveocee

    Filling? Just get them to pull the tooth. No issues with fillings going forwards.

    I am getting more and more intrigued by this review, I think I have read it 6 or 7 times already.

    I think I can get it for relatively cheap, and for sure it'll make for a somewhat nice variation to the standard, boring m4.

    Adolf Hamster

    ahh yes, forgot you were in italy.

    that's the same style as my jg, very handy little gun.

    cyma's ak's are good, i certainly wouldnt call it a bad choice (they're the rental gun of choice round here and they seem to hold up to that abuse just fine). of course lct/e&l's exteriors are in a different league but they don't shoot much different.

    i'd say go for it, side rail mount with a simple tube optic and a bit of scrim net taped round the stock for padding it's just grand.

    As per my comment on the ATRG review, I had that exact model and it was a beast of a weapon. Needs a few internal bits to improve it but it's built like a tank and is well worth dropping the cash on if it's the kind of thing you're after.

    I only got rid of mine because I preferred my SCAR and M4's.

    Opinions on LBX?

    Quality for the price?

    Utter bollox?

    Ive had multiple pairs of Assaulter Trousers from them before. Peruvian I believe.

    Good quality - better than you'll need in airsoft.

    Stitching good, pattern correct, feel good to wear.

    They do come a bit small in length if its trousers you're going for.

    Skara
    Skara
    I was looking at their Assaulter Belt, I know the Armatus II is a great bit of kit but I can't find any info on the belt.

    Absolutely retarded idea, but.

    What if I mod a pair of jeans to accept Crye style knee pads?

    Skara
    Skara
    I'd like a bit of variety in my airsoft clothing choices.

    M81 is bae, A-Tacs FG works great in my area (along with RG) but a more "civilian" looking kit wouldn't be bad to have. Maybe with a ranger green shirt thrown in.

    Adolf Hamster

    Maybe just a pair of builders trousers? Civ look but eminently practical

    I wear my bike jeans (Rokker Revolutions), which have concealed D3O pads in the knees and hips and are also waterproof. Highly recommended, if a bit pricey.

    Ares airsoft.

    FUCK.

    YOU.

    You useless piece of trash company.

    Can't even make a proper fucking handguard.

    Skara

    Oh, don't worry. I won't. Lesson learned.

    have you tried barrel nut shims or thread lock?

    Skara
    Skara
    shims are useless (at least in my case). Thread lock would be an option but I haven't got any atm.

    I mean, those small pieces of plastic are fine, they do their job and they're free, but I know it's not a definitive solution.

    That feeling when the person you asked a small technical question to is deliberately ignoring you.

    Skara
    Skara
    Yeah.

    I just want to know the inner diameter of a M-Lok handguard. Takes literally 30 seconds to unpack one, measure it and put it back in the box.

    Yo @Steveocee, you just ended up on Instagram in a KM name and shame post.

    "I'm surprised at the response, feels very forceful when he could have ignored me."

    It's his new double-hard-bastard persona that he's trying to monetise.  I pity him, really, but the sooner he's banned from every site in the UK the better.

    Who uses Twitter over Instagram? People who read books with words not pictures ?.

    If you have a privileged place on a platform, inspire people and you'll equally lift yourself as you lift others. Troll followers will turn on troll leaders in time as a newer more toxic troll emerges. This clickbait will dry out as each video becomes more indistinguishable from the last.

    Is anyone in the Sniper Ops Facebook group?

    If so, is it me or the content posted in said group is getting lamer and lamer every day?

    Seems the same as usual to me.

    Only with a small uptick in pro kmcs posts.

    I don't have Facebook (trust me your life is better without it) but is every video titled "ghillie sniper destroys entire team gets banned and cheater punished" ?

    Skara
    Skara
    I only use it for those "XX owners" groups that are actually useful.

    It's more like the quality of posts and answers.

    And of course all the KM fanboys literally switching off their brains whenever the almighty God of being above the rules posts something.

    Former roommate (now renter) is literally digging her own grave right now.

    I've always been kind and understanding towards her, letting her pay the rent way later than the usual date (because her dad gets paid on the 15th), not letting her pay for some shit she broke (like 3 door locks, a couple of handles and a window frame) and doing everything I could to fix problems without spending money.

    She's exactly 1 month late now for the rent, she has to pay some bills (which I always fully pay beforehand by my own pocket), she says her dad isn't getting paid.

    But her mom bought a €100+ plane ticket last week to visit her.

    I have nothing against a mother visiting her daughter, for God's sake kick me in the balls if I do, but i'm quite pissed with the "haven't paid the rent yet but I spent unnecessary money" mentality.

    I am now legally entitled to kick her ass out of my house. Which I will do if she pulls out any stupid excuse.

    I have around 3 years worth of proof of her paying LATE despite his family not being "economically challenged", but purely because of her mother's laziness.

    I may sound like a dick, but I'm getting tired of this situation.

    Plus I have proof of her boyfriend (which is also a renter) actively trying to delay some procedures to try and fuck me.

    Thoughts?

    Shall I proceed with the eviction procedure?

    Skara
    Skara
    Idk if I should, tbf.

    I mean, I could link her "work" IG account.

    Steveocee
    Steveocee
    I don't think you should (remark was made jokingly). Keep the moral high ground and only post nudes if you have them.

    Skara
    Skara
    Wasn't going to anyway :P

    Although her "work" account is public and literally anyone can take a look at it.

    Asked for an update on the rent, her dad hasn't been paid yet.

    Black Friday with exactly €19 in the wallet and 0 in the bank account.

    You're not exactly missing out on much.  Retailers jacking up their prices so they can make "massive" reductions that are ultimately maybe a couple of pounds cheaper than normal or in some cases more expensive than other retailer's normal pricing.  No thanks. 

    Skara
    Skara
    at least you have something.

    I was going to write an awfully long post ranting about my former roommates not paying the rent on time, but I was getting too tilted (at one point I was about to cry) while typing.

    @djben9 I wasn't going to buy anything anyway, the things I need are not on discount or haven't been released yet :(

    What if I slightly file off some buckles to make them all cross compatible?

    I just need to remove a couple of extra parts and probably half a millimetre off a couple of female ones.

    Do I risk having to replace all the buckles?

    Steveocee
    Steveocee
    I was going to ask but you've already answered. Are we talking bearing the weight of kit or are we talking the weight of say a struggling adult that you've bound and are using buckles to secure?

    If option a, should be absolutely fine. If option b, structural integrity reigns supreme, you don't want to chance people getting loose and making authorities aware of your misdemeanours.

    I have industrial grade, 8mm thick zip ties and plenty of gorilla tape for that.

    Also can't break free if you're unconscio......what the fuck?

    ?

    Worst case I'll zip tie the shoulder straps to the rig with the ones mentioned above.

    Skara
    Skara
    Tried filing the buckles, didn't work.

    Ended up zip tying them :P

    Mhm...

    What do I take with me tomorrow?

    -chest rig + backpack + M4 (midcaps just in case)

    -backpack + arp

    -plate carrier + M4 (midcaps just in case)

    BDUs will be M81 pants and OD or black top
