    How do these things ever work?

    Trying to restore the air-seal on my MP5K, we're talking tiny fractions of a mm in barrel alignment between "won't feed" and ""dribbles out".

    Never, ever replace the stock parts in your gnu. Ever.

    Ironically from going too hot it's now weak tea. Those MP5K hop units are cray cray, they don't seem to want to match the profile of any hop rubber that I've tried, and I'm not even sure where the original has gone.

    Well, after hours of fiddling it's working fine in the garage now.  What could possibly go wrong on the way to chrono. ;)

    I feel your pain.  I lost the c-clip on my GHK AK last night and now the barrel won't go all the way in so the airseal is shite and BBs just dribble out.  New c-clip on the way.......

    I like playing in the cold.

    I do not like playing in the wet.  The key word in the Sunday image above is "torrential".

    @UKCYukarin both me and Roger primarily play indoors anyway so we have the luxury of being picky with the weather for outdoor ventures.

    I can relate, this winter we barely played due to the rain.

    Pisses me off as a lot of guys in my team have proper rain gear.

    Feels like people are made of tissue paper..

    Nuprol should bow to public opinion (and spelling) and rename themselves as Nurpol.

    Change my mind.

    My auto correct thinks they should be called nuptial.....

    Sonuva gorram beach.  My MP5K with a 249mm ZCI barrel - but this time with the PTFE tape removed and some actual hop applied - chronoed at 348, 346... 352.

    Back in the bag it went and out came the backup G36C.

    Only after getting home and jumping on AK2M4 did I have a "... wait a second..." moment and remembered that I'd already bought a 229mm ZCI, which is in the backup-backup M4 which was in the bag keeping the G36 company.  Could have had that swapped in in a few minutes.

    Sort yourself out, Rog.

    heh at least you have backups when it blows up in your face.

    Does it being longer no mess with  it worknig with a tracer?

    Tracer's on the pistol, this is just a suppressor.  It's got spring-and-foam internals, which were influencing the BB flight (as in, it was all over the place). Being an honest sort, I took the suppressor off and went and got it re-chroned, and it came out just barely over.  But over is over.  I mean, for that particular chrono, which is a rant for another thread.

    So how will a shorter barrel fix your issues or you going to have to do away with the suppressor and just chase the 345~ fps? 

     Think I'll be picking your team next time I see you

    Dem feels when just for once you're totally prepped and ready for a weekender event by Tuesday... then they postpone it for 6 weeks. ?

    Mmm, I do sympathise with the site owner, he's put loads of work in and arranged for extra facilities for the weekend, and a bunch of folk (I infer both players and marshals) have booked up front then told him with under a week to go that they won't be showing up, citing sickness (must be pretty bad if you know that far ahead that you won't make it) but also "holidays and weddings".  How could that have come as a surprise?

    Bad news for everyone, although the way it's being handled is pretty amateurish.  No automatic refunds, he's assuming that we'll either want to roll the booking forward or will attend a regular skirmish day on Saturday and get credited then.  Yeah... but no.  That's the thing about running a big weekend mislim, the extra numbers come from people who wouldn't normally have made the trip.

    It's only £10, but having to ask for it back in the first place should be unnecessary, and having done so, if it doesn't show up in the next day or so, then I'll just be opening a PayPal dispute and that's the last that site will ever see of me.  And I get the money back either way.

    Why is it so hard for people to just do the right thing, for the right reasons, and for their own benefit?

    Must have been quite a number of players who cancelled last minute in order for him to cancel the whole thing.  Unless he didn't get that many people in the first place and wasn't worth the time.  Either way just refund everyone as soon as you cancel the event, how hard is that.

    I'm dubious about the real story too.  I feel for the guy, he's really very decent and has been struggling to get numbers and income up after a rather rash decision to open a brand new site last Autumn just as the weather turned.

    But not enough to simply donate my hard-earned.

    Rogerborg
    Urgh, sites run solely from a Facebook page that don't tell you exactly where they are, how to get there, the availability of parking, game days, hours, prices, site rules, or pretty much anything that you'd want to know before deciding to make the journey there.

    I know, "Just message us, mate", but why not document it once rather than dozens of times?
