    Off to drop the the cxp Ape in for some much needed tlc. at Combay Action Games shop. New motor and lord knows what else is needed to get her back to her best.

    Any suggestions for a decent all year round pistol. Finding my green gas pistols just can’t cut it this time of year so thinking maybe c02. Budget about £150 including extra mag

    Keep your pistol mags in a lined pouch with a pocket hand-warmer if it's very cold.

    @ghostwalker fixing a MK23 feeding issue is a piece of cake.

    All you need to do is a light file job to the feed lips. Plenty of guides on the internet, even Noviboii made a video on it (on Vimeo, not YT, for some obscure reason). less than 30 seconds for 2 mags.

    STOCK TM GBBs should be the way to go, plastic slides means more gas efficiency and less propellant used to cycle the whole thing, which results in less cooldown (given you aren't speedsofting your way through the day, in that case nothing beats a HPA tap). Placing your magazines closer to your body (in pockets for example) could also work.

    @Skara @sonofsammo Think after much tinkering today i might finally have the asg mk23 working half way decently. Tried the filing down thing from Novs video but it didn't appear to be the fix. Then saw in another video that the little plastic rod that 'picks the bb up from the mag and into the hop' sometimes catches on the rubber valve infront of the feed lips. Filed it back a bit and hey presto.  It actually managed 10 rounds in a row!

    Looks like my much loved ics cxp ape is in need of some time with the tech. Full auto not engaging properly and sticking in semi. Lots of copper flecks on the outside of the motor and inside of the grip. :(

    Time for some upgrades whilst you are at it! 

    The stock motor is pretty anaemic to be honest.

    If I do much it would only be the repairs and maybe a better motor. I can’t really fault mine other than that.

    new site and new adventures tomorrow. Going to try out scorpion airsoft at the old hospital west raynham. Cqb chaos.

    What was it like?, about an hours drive for me but missing CQB

    G
    ghostwalker
    Mixed feelings. Will write a site review up later for it. For a once or twice a year site great. But for a regular cqb fix I would use battlestations at snetterton.

    @djben9 posted up my thoughts etc in the airsoft sites section. If you want to know more give me a shout

    G
    6 weeks with no airsoft. Tomorrow that’s all over. Heading down to blow off some steam and clear the cobwebs at Combat Action Games 

    G
    That feeling when your body starts to remind you that it’s getting old and had years of abuse. Might be time to start thinking about role change as my left knee is shot to hell.

    any of you fine folks played at Scorpion Airsoft at the old hospital west raynham?

    I’m heading there on November 17th for their Sunday game day. Looks a decent site just wondered if anyone had played it.

    I had no idea it existed, now I really want to go, but a bit too far for me unless I do an overnighter! Can you put a review up afterwards please??

    G
    ghostwalker
    will try to remember to. I think airsoftcamman on YouTube may have some gameplay from there on one of his videos. Not 100% sure 

    G
    oh no. That feeling when your amazon delivery is out and you get a notification it’s being delivered by my herpes.

    Aaaaahh yes my herpes that shining light of courier services ! 

    Had a parcel being delivered by them a few wks ago as I was away over night I logged in and stipulated ‘leave with neighbor’ (I have wonderful retired neighbors , there both deaf as a post and blind as a bat so perfect Airsoft neighbors !) any hoo get a txt saying “left in designated safe place , the porch” only problem there I don’t have a porch , I do have an angled section of roofing that sticks out about 3ft above the front door but no walls to it so definitely NOT a porch , so in the picture he so kindly sent me you can see said parcel leaning up against my front door in plain view for all to see! ??‍♂️?

    Last delivery by Hermes, person turned up in a knackered old fiesta..didn't bother with ringing the bell..found my package thrown over side door to the garden by my garage.  All recorded on cctv.  Complaint sent..not heard a thing back.  (3 months and waiting...guess an apology got lost in the mail..)  :)

    I didn’t bother trying to complain to herpes I just put a poor review on millets website when it asked me to review my buying experience AND was contacted by there customer care team very next morning ! After back and fouring with some Doris on there team I got a £10 voucher as an apology for poor customer service .?

    Question to the admins on here. I am taking part in a charity event for the Royal British Legion Industries. Would it be ok to post about it with a fundraising link in the general section?

    I think the last time someone did something similar they posted a Link and a thread about why and what it was in the Off topic section. 

    Jedi_Master
    Jedi_Master
    Yes, I think that would be acceptable.  Create a new topic in the "Off Topic" section, give details of the event and who the charity is for, etc.  Adding a link to the rbli website would be useful for background context.

    Good news this morning. 

    Filed a PayPal case against Ruoskygear on aliexpress for failing to send the fma helmet and got an email today to say a full PayPal refund is being issued! Offsets the £40 I paid for one off patrolbase in the end 

    Rogerborg
    Rogerborg
    Nice one.  I love PayPal for this, and just fire up a dispute 5 minutes after the promised delivery date now.

    G
    Don’t use ruoskygear store on aliexpress. Ordered a fma exfil lite foliage green helmet last Monday. 4 days ago (2 before the cancellation deadline) they asked if I would accept dark earth instead which was ok. Yesterday morning it was marked as despatched. A few hours before automatic cancellation. Today they message to say they don’t have DE would black be ok. Well clearly it hasn’t been despatched and they are lying.

    Can’t cancel the order as they have declared it as shipped. Also can’t open a disputed until 10 days after it’s marked as shipped.

    Gutted for you mate. That's the one time that AliExpress is an issue, when it goes wrong!

    Just FYI, the FMA Unity Tactical style helmet adaptors won't work on an Exfil helmet. I had to blag the adaptor from Unity Tactical themselves which cost an arm and a leg for two little bits of metal!

    G
    ghostwalker
    They the adapters for things like sordins and contacts headsets? If so I’m ok as I run a throat mic with security style ear piece. 

    G
    so i got a multicam plate carrier and battlebelt with a helmet on the way. Question is what camo to get. Multicam, mc tropic, mc black, atacs or something else. Cant decide.

    should go well with the Multicam plate carrier and battle belt, along with the helmet with multicam cover (if aliexpress ever sip it). Oooooh and got me a nice Dynatex timed bfg for some woodland chaos too

    G
    Uh oh. Might be joining the multiglam brigade. Warrior cpc,pathfinder chest rig, solo international belt with assorted extra pouches and warrior universal pistol holster. All for £160. I think I might have to bite. 

    G
    That moment when you get some unexpected money and you have to decide. New warrior recon/pathfinder with all the bells and whistles and a bfg. Or a new rif.

    NEED ? What is this word ? 

    G
    ghostwalker
    Looks like new kit, bfg and mags for my erg are in the cards. Finally trade up from the 30/60’s to 30/120 mags. Just need a decent woodland grenade now. 

    G
    Thought of the day. 

    For the occasional (fortnightly) average joe skirmisher. Is the extra money for something like warrior gear really worth it over your 8fields, tmc etc. 

    Looking at a new loadout for myself and considering a od warrior pathfinder/plate carrier combo.

    heroshark
    depends what your bothered by eg colours of camo if you are getting a camo one . Also if you are gonna stick with it . I found the cheap stuff perfectly serviceable. 

    G
    ghostwalker
    I tend to switch between loadouts. Been running about in my tears of the sun impression for best part of a year. Mix in my more pmc black/tan loadout when playing non woodland or cqb 

    H
    heroshark
    well I'd go cheap then if You are not gonna stick with it

    G
    What’s people’s the best helmet with bang for your buck. Thinking bump style helmet.

    What’s your concerns with the thickness ?

    Just feels super cheap, you can bend the helmet easy.

    Ok fair enough , I can vouch they are strong enough to protect from an impact though after having half a brick knocked out of 1st floor window (a derelict farm house at the old pathfinder site Swansea valley) bounce of one I was wearing , freely admit I did see stars AND had a killer headache for a good few hrs afterward but I was ok and the helmet wasn’t even cracked , you could see white staring in the plastic from the impact but no cracking .?
