    Are full length MagPul PTS Masadas discontinued now?

    same as any second hand gun, about 75% of what he paid for it.

    Liam Porter
    That's what I thought. He was hoping it'd be worth a bit more, with it being discontinued and in new condition :P .

    They're pretty common, like the vfc scars for example, they wont get any price increase from being discontinued.

    I know it's not airsoft related, but it'd really help me out if anyone who's at university and is 18+ could fill in this questionnaire for me! :) http://goo.gl/forms/3j8IKoMgvH

    Thank you :)

    They can put 0 in if it's paid by the government, a few people have done so, but I'll add that as a note under the question to clear up confusion.

    If I leave it optional, people will skip it for the sake of skipping it. I had a draft one with a lot more optional questions, and so many people just skipped them out of laziness.

    Okay, that's fine :) , I need to go through all of the answers to that question anyway and convert them to the same format and to GBP :P

    Just found out that I can "write" on my laptop screen and it will convert it to text for me! Quite liking this feature!!

    Anyone recommend any horror films, that don't focus on gore, and that aren't the same as every other horror film ever made?

    The thing, the original not the remake best horror film ever. Great story and acting definitely recommend.

    I don't suppose anyone is selling an internally broken/internal-less M16, that is compatible with G&P parts?

    L
    Anyone know if/how it's possible to get a G36 stock onto an M4/M16?

    Just a thought but what about dremmelling out a channel for the tube in the Stock and slipping it onto that?

    (May sound dumb but just an idea)

    Airsoft_Mr B
    Airsoft_Mr B
    I think the diameter of the tube would be wider than the stock, but I don't know. You wouldn't be able to fold it either if it was slipped over the buffer tube.

    L
    Liam Porter
    I'm not worried about it folding, just want it the look. Needs to be somewhat functional though, don't want it falling off or snapping whenever I shoulder the rifle.

    L
    Anyone know of any airsoft 80s or 90s sight, either red-dot or up to 4x zoom, to stick on top of an M4, either carry handle mounted, or mounted onto a rail on a carry handle?

    L
    Anyone know if a G&P M16A1 lower receiver will fit onto any G&P upper receivers other than the old-style M16 ones?

    M_P
    M_P
    I'd expect they should, I think that's what some people do for l119a1s as some had the old style colt markings on their lowers- better get conformation from elsewhere as well though

    L
    Liam Porter
    That's what I thought, want confirmation though as I've read somewhere that the older style receivers are thinner, so was thinking it either wouldn't fit or that the upper would wobble on the lower.

    L
    What are some CQB or Bullpup rifles that use standard M4/M16 magazines, but aren't just another M4?

    Well, I go out for a day and come back to 11 notifications...

    Evil, do they use standard STANAG mags in airsoft?

    L
    What are VFC guns like? Specifically their M4/M16 range, in comparison to G&P? I've read comparisons on American forums, all saying VFC are better, but then, they say G&P gears, pistons and motors need replacing, I've had mine for 2½ years without even opening the gearbox. (I may have asked this question before, can't remember.)

    In my experience? Excellent externals. Really well cast and machined aluminium used throughout on most of their stuff,steel in as much places as possible. But gearboxes have a lot to be desired. Gears not particularly strong,any ACM set will out perform them. Pistons are weak and horrible. Gearbox shells look nice but not too strong. In fact,any of the plastics used by VFC in internals seem to suck balls.

    I see them,along with G&P and a few other outfits as bodykits you dump up...

    Forgot to say, the hops have a habit of resetting themselves when you release the bolt cover too.

    L
    Liam Porter
    That's not too much of a worry, I have spare hop units too. I basically have a full spare set of M4 internals. Any idea if there are any cheaper HK416s with decent externals but crappy internals that I can just swap out?

    L
    Just realised I've had my M16 for almost 2 and a half years and I've never taken it apart further than splitting the receiver to clean the barrel or for transport. Trigger response has recently become noticeably sluggish, may be time to take the gearbox apart soon...

    Liam Porter
    Yeah G&P, still shoots consistently, has lost no FPS at all, rate of fire is the same on the same battery which I got at same time as the gun. Only thing is the trigger response.

    Probably a build of carbon/arcing on the contacts and old grease getting gummed up.

    L
    Liam Porter
    Yeah should think so gun's had a lot of use, especially on semi-auto and short bursts. I think it's done pretty well for over 2 years with stock parts still.

    L
    Seeing pictures of people's AKs recently has made me kinda want one...

    You're not the only one Liam, I've completely gone off western weaponry recently, as far as I now find m4's physically sickening :s

    They're very cool and fun to use. My dad (Oh wait this is his account not mine :|) got a CYMA AK47 when it was 120 quid at Patrol Base (should've been 190+) IT'S A BEAST! The blowback is superb too, great piece of kit.

    L
    I think it's time to replace the M16 with something a little more CQB-friendly... So, G&P M4 Sentry, or G&P SR16 URX Short? Or someone throw other ideas for CQB weapons, that take M4/M16 mags at me please.

    Of those two I'd go sentry, however I quite like the look of the viper and autobot.

    L
    Liam Porter
    I quite like the Viper, but can't see why it's over £100 more expensive than the Sentry.

    What weapons other than M4s are good for CQB and use STANAG mags?

    SCAR L CQC, FN2000, SA80.. I think Redwolf or AisoftGI did a thing about this on Youtube.

    Looking for a rifle bag for next weekend, anyone got any recommendations? It needs to have enough room for a standard length M16, so about 1m, also, cheaper the better.

    L
    Made a topic last night, it's got 0 views still. Basically asking which parts would be better to put in a 500 FPS AEG, full set of Lonex internals or a full set of Guarder internals. So, a few quick responses to this status with which to choose and why would be nice :) .

    Liam Porter
    My local site at home (FFZ) allows 500 FPS DMRs, and so does Skirmish Airsoft Nottingham (which is near Uni). I'll keep the stock spring and get a 400 FPS spring, so I have it all covered. It's just deciding on which brand internals to get.

    Fair play, might I suggest, ( sorry if this breaks any forum rule) try the Longrange AEG's section on airsoft sniper forum. The guys on there seem to have some pretty sweet setups and have tried most of the combinations available. Also because they are very results driven they tend to base their recommendations on hard evidence and testing.

    L
    Liam Porter
    Pretty certain it doesn't break forum rules. I haven't made a topic on there myself, but I've read a lot on there, and there's already a topic asking the exact same question, which is where I got recommendations for Guarder parts from. I then took that recommendation to see what /r/airsoft on Reddit thought, and they mostly suggested Lonex instead of Guarder.

    L
    Bored of cheese toasties and jam toasties. In desperate need of ideas. So, AF-UK, toastie suggestions. Go!

    cheese and apple... I'm not joking.

    I will try that. I've done banana, custard and honey, which was nice, and I've done banana, apple and honey, which was also nice.

    L
    Liam Porter
    I'm going to try literally everything suggested, as long as I like the suggested items, e.g. I won't be trying ham or bacon with anything.

    L
    Still wanting to get myself a DMR, thinking about a G&P M14, VFC HK417, or VFC Scar H SSR. Any recommendations as to which to get, or which ones to avoid, and why?

    View previous comments…
    L
    Liam Porter
    Okay thanks, I'll have a look and price up upgrades for all three. Pretty certain the M14 will turn out cheapest though, it's about £200 cheaper to start with.

    and with a ver7 gearbox, it's likely to last longer than the others- assuming the Scar is also a version 2

    L
    Liam Porter
    Looked up the Scar, yeah it's a V2. Will get the M14, the VFC's propriety gearbox would annoy me too much trying to find parts, and the V2 gearboxes aren't really strong enough to withstand 500 FPS reliably.
