    Having trouble with UPS fucking around and refusing to give any tracking or delivery info on a 18airsoft order that I've already provided the missing info + paid the fees on. Anybody got any ideas on how to get them to budge that doesn't including sitting on the phone talking to people who have no idea what's going on for hours or am I going to have to waste a painful few to get it released? Storage charges start on the 6th so I'm not too confident on waiting for them to reply to the two emails I've sent so far.

    If its a consolation, Royal Mail also sat on an 18Airsoft order of mine for almost a month after i had paid the customs fees. It eventually arrived, but I spent hours on the phone - and with RM it was taking an average of an hour in the queue before some clueless fool even answered it.

    Just finished putting back together my Classic Army/ASG M4 that exploded on the big PB Delta Day, turns out the stock CYMA gears and the extremely cheap DE piston I threw in there that was part of my parts box didn't like a Solink 28k brushless! Caused some extremely nasty PME and exploded both the spur and the piston - threw in some SHS 13:1s and a random CYMA piston I had laying around and it was shooting at 0.127J, only to realise I didn't hook the fucking tappet-spring back on! Sorted now, and it's shooting lovely at 1.107J on a 0.28g. Bosh

    Yep, cheap sintered gears do not like brushless motors.  At least, that is what my ISSC Mk22 told me.

    Just had an 18airsoft order priced up from the 18th  to purchase after Christmas go from £7 delivery to £69 - any idea what the fuck is going on? Lmao

    I suspect £7 was a system mistake, that's way too cheap for UPS.  Stick with e-express.  Send Fiona over at 18airsoft a message, she might be able to give you a small discount.  She speaks great english and is always super helpful.

    Sent a message through to their support, so fingers crossed - one of the items have went out of stock since, which is a pain in the arse but hopefully they get back to me. Massive thanks again to Pete @ak2m4for being an absolute gem as usual.

    I'm going to have to sell my left bollock for a non L6 WE Desert Eagle, aren't I?

    How does this site work? Do they take used pews and repair and resell them or something? What's the catch?

    (I was dead-set on a chrome non L6, but the black gives me MGS4 vibes so it might end up being the one)

    Yeah, they're Red Alert's on site shop that deals mostly with 2nd hand stuff. I have been there and seems decent. I think the owner is on here as well.

    Anybody know what lower'll fit a VFC YHM M16A2 (AEG) upper? Have had one laying around for ages and want to build it into something but the YHM lowers are absolute unobtanium

    pyromancer6
    anybody know a good place to pick up some M81 woodland? kinda miss the DPM NBC suit I used to wear when I first started but I'm over getting covered in shit because of the charcoal lining lol and a normal DPM set is a little beige for me

    pyromancer6

    If it looks cool I don't really mind tbh, kinda wanted a hooded smock and some decent pants without spending a million quid really

    Military 1st had trousers on sale a few weeks back, and I think that's where I got my shirt from as well.

    Is it a ship of theseus situaton buying a new lower reciever set for my JG G36 to match the new nylon-like M4 magwell I've got to eliminate creaking?

    Rogerborg
    Rogerborg
    Indeed, I'd get concerned if it stops creaking.

    pyromancer6
    What's the go-to STANAG styled midcap? CYMA? I'm new to all this M4 convenience and actually having choices is a little overwhelming ?

    Yes, the Nuprols seem to work well in most M4 style rifles.

    Cool - looks like I'll be trying to find a few then. I originally wanted grey mags but I guess I could always just coat the nuprol ones. Cheers!

    Got them today - they feel very solid and feed perfectly in both my old as balls CA/ASG w/ zci rotary hop unit & my JG G36 w/ a M4 adapter. Suprised at the height difference compared to the specna mags on the left [the big one is also a nuprol flash mag I got alongside the three on the right] but they look loads better in the G36 because of it. Will get around to eventually making them grey because I just think it looks neat but the tape'll do for now. Cheers lads!

    Looking for a replacement pistol grip for a CYMA AK to spice things up a little instead of the bog-standard polymer AK-74 one that's on there. Any recommendations?

    I got a rk-3 replica from sixmm and can confirm it will fit that style ak. I have the dytac version of the same ak and it fits fine.

    Think I remember seeing these lovely pews a little minute ago - I take it that it's the Asura Dynamics RK-3 on there? It's a massive shame that they're not on WGCShop as I'm trying to get one big order in rather than ordering abroad from a bunch of different places for cost reasons. I might also look into the palm US grip too honestly as I think that's on there too, so thanks for the suggestion @Skara ?

    Plugging a battery into my completely standard never missing a beat CYMA Highspeed MP5 to find out it's somehow exploded or stripped one of the gears was not on my bingo card for this lovely wednesday evening. Losing the fucking will to live honestly lmao

    Does it bind if the motor is screwed in? sounded like there was no resistance when the motor turned.

    pyromancer6
    pyromancer6
    Binds either way - I was adjusting motor height because it slipped a little during play and it was sounding a little screechy - went too far in so backed up a bunch and boom - sudden lockup into screaming. Changing the height now doesn't do anything - it just screams. Broken spur gear? I took the motor out of the grip and it seems to be working fine and I don't see any damage to the pinion or shaft or anything

    pyromancer6
    I just fell for the classic ‘ooh I’ll try fettling with some airsoft bollocks to unwind a bit before bed’ which predictably led to me losing a grip screw and lots of swearing. Anyway, 30 minutes of rolling around later I’m headed to bed full of dust, screw still MIA and more wound up then when I started ?

    Fresh CYMA 'ZEUS' v2 mosfet to fix up a friend's CM.009 M733, had it apart and had a nightmare shimming it, ten hours later and it's working - only for the solder on the positive wire to detach the moment I disconnected the battery ?, can't beat it.

    Halfords for the motor connectors. Come with heat shrink. ?

    pyromancer6
    pyromancer6
    Having two things disconnect within the day of having the CYMA mosfet just means I got unlucky and got a lemon as I haven't had such murder with anything else I've used ?, and it's just female spade connector's I'm looking for right @Shamal?

    Shamal
    Shamal
    Yep the female side ?

    pyromancer6
    Took down my first V2 today, swapped over the knackered compression parts from my UTR's jam and even tried my hand at reshimming - and it works! Made up, honestly - thought it'd be a disaster but I'm absolutely buzzing - chronoing tomorrow to see how much it's jumped up!

    Quick change spring as standard on these little DEs, fortunately! Turns out I accidently threw in a massive spring instead of the one that orginally came out of it - it's still a little spicy but with the hop set it settles right down. Compression parts are awesome - gonna order another set for a friend's CYMA CAR-15 I've suddenly got the confidence to ''fix'' or fuck around with inside lol (do need a new cyma mosfet board though, trigger is knackered)

    ak2m4
    ak2m4
    thanks, yeah the compression set is great at bringing aeg's back to life.  Springs are a little more tricky to get right for sure.

    pyromancer6
    Currently bollocks deep on trying to get a mate's LCT RPK he purchased second hand with lots of work done to, way above my paygrade but we hope for the best lol

    Turns out it's a Negative Airsoft build from about two years ago, detailed in this video so I'm going to gingerly toptoe around all the work and hope pressing the jefftron's reset button brings it back to life ?

    Not too sure what's up with it, but it's not looking too good. When a battery's plugged in it's still completely unresponsive, not even a sensor check (the motor's also in), only thing that would point to according to jefftron's manual is that the fuse is gone, but from the looks of it...

     

    IMG_5286.jpg


    ...Fuse looks alright to me. Has the leviathan pulled a leviathan and died of death?

    Would be probably be worth it trying another fuse. Also might be worth investigating the connection to the battery.

    Against my better judgement I've prepped the gas Golden Eagle 870 for sunday. God help me.

    Honestly, even though it was doing looney tunes outlines around people it was a blast honestly, we've only just had work done on our CQB part of our site recently and they're getting a bunch of cheap springer shotguns in to do shotgun/pistol only games in there so I thought I'd give it a go early, apart from the stock trying it's hardest to leak (long flathead 'm4 buffer tube screwdriver mate' to the rescue) things went perfectly fine, which was a suprise

    I'd love to do one up eventually though, get the longer barrels, the high output valves, the posh modify gas tanks, shim the hop so it can hop 0.28s etc but seeing as HPA's disallowed at our site there's no point really going crazy with it because the gas shotties are just limited without an air line meaning it just works 40% of the time rather than 100% lol

    Good to hear! I probably should give mine a second chance then. As ,much as I love the idea of making it work, it just doesn't seem to be able to apply any appreciable hop to even .2s, and the spread is wild. I've cleaned the barrels and fixed hops gently with alcohol soaked patches in case they were covered in grease/oil, but no difference....

    Yes, mine was wildly leaking from new - I had to remove the buffer tube (mine has the M4 type stock), then re-lube the o rings and re-tighten. I'm not shy about taking things apart (albeit the M14 was admittedly a stretch), but I'm told that shotguns are a bit of a nightmare to strip down!

    pyromancer6
    pyromancer6
    Yeah, the M870s are pretty notorious for being swiss watches with a thousand hair thick springs that love just pinging across the room never to be seen again - I got PTSD from the last time I took mine apart because my cylinder was a little loose and I just couldn't get the thing back together for the longest time and ended up getting a mate to pop it back together because I was losing my head after it just wouldn't play nice lmao

    At least with the GEs you always have the option of just buying another one if you royally cock it up, and even then you're still under the price of a new TM one lol

    pyromancer6
    It's honestly incredible how every single teching session steadily goes from theraputic to requiring therapy yourself in the span of around 30 minutes, you'll have 90% of whatever you wanted to do done, get stuck with one tiny thing, get frustrated/order what you needed, and when you're closing your gun back up until said part comes or you can have the patience again something'll go wrong or a spring'll be a cunt and before you know it you're a shivering, sobbing mess losing your mind praying you'll never pick up a hexhead screwdriver ever again

    pyromancer6
    Special ordering some VFC parts to fix my fucked USP and turns out the crystal clear P8A1 .pdf diagram and the extremely low resolution USP image of it's diagram don't have the same part numbers in the grip assembly, which means after three weeks of waiting for them to arive I've ended up telling them to order the wrong parts. Oopsie doodles, time to wait a little longer :(

    pyromancer6
    Just had my Holy Warrior S1 randomly turn up today despite claiming that it was going to be delivered on the 29th of April at the earliest

    Love me some Aliexpress, shame they can't show parts in the searches anymore tho

    I think Ali just does this every time (or at least the couple of times I've used them), they deliberately massively over-estimate shipping duration to cover their butts.
