From memory, i ended up using an old barrel from a JG G36C, together with a Chinese clone of a MR Hop rubber and omega nub. The positioning of the cut/window in the barrel (probably the forwards/backwards location) seems to be crucial for good operation of the bullgear hop unit. Bullgear...

Good luck, mines been a nightmare. So much promise though. From the off: add an extra two screws between the grip and gearbox, swap to a bullgear hop unit - and be prepared to play around with rubbers and inner barrel combos; and run the box mag off a rechargeable 9v lithium battery.

I have achieved some of more memorable game play with a pistol. I have been known to use a Kar98 or Lee Enfield with no MED, but - given the limitations of a bolt action when things get frantic, I carry a pistol too. Quite frequently the rifle will be left propped up against a tree and a lone...

I had no idea that you starred in Lock Stock and Two Smoking Barrels. Kept that one a bit quiet didn’t you!

Taking this Saturday as an example, the 06:11 train from Shepperton, via Clapham Junction will get you into Three Bridges station by 07:44. From there, its a 5 minute or so taxi journey to Driver Wood, so you will have plenty of time to get through the Chrono before the game brief starts at...

I just give my mates hicaps and a bag of BBs when they are trying airsoft out for the first time. By far the simplest solution, and whilst lower in capacity, I've not had any dramas with MP5 hicaps.

Damn, I’m away camping that weekend, otherwise I'd be there. I'm trying to get along to Battle Lakes every month when I can, although realistically the September dates are when I'm next looking likely I can make it over there.

A good morning yesterday at Driver Wood. Huge numbers of players (I suspect most people had to same idea as me to wait it out to the first cooler day since the heat wave), but strangely the high numbers didn't seem to affect game play negatively this time around- at least I didn’t find that to...

Sounds a little like the Novritsch SSQ4 HPA system. Uses some form of HPA adapter (male) that sits hidden within the magwell, and the proprietary (female) mid caps fit between the inner magwell and the adapter. I've no idea whether its interchangeable with other GBBRs, i somewhat doubt it, but...

Wouldn't other aftermarket hop units fit the LEVAR? I think its a standard m4 fitment isn't it? If so, the rather cheap but generally good Specna Magnus TDC hop unit should fit ok without needing any cutting....

Not really - you can buy one and get the slide painted by a retailer 'two tone' right now, before you gain an airsoft 'defence' - UKARA will take three games over a minimum of two months to gain, and is the most commonly used defence in airsoft, but there are other options - plenty of info on...

As a wild card that I don't think anyone has mentioned yet - the Specna AKs are worth a look. Mostly steel bodied, and depending what build you go for, you can get some very nice internals with ECUs, rotary hop units with flat hop from the box, stainless tightbore barrels , quick change springs...

That's rather lush isn't it. Looks like those steel kits are close to £2k per kit though...! I bet if you were in the right (or lets face it, the wrong if we are talking the US) part of the world, you could pick up a genuine wartime pistol for less!

If the interest in getting an AR style is largely down to interchangeability of the mags with your usual RIF, then might the use of a Hi-CAP mag for the occasional/emergency/hot weather use you envisage open up the option of other forms of RIF to you? I have a plastic bodied CYMA AK (CM028) and...
