    If you get to a point when you think your collection is complete, do you find yourself planning on tinkering and upgrading?

    on that note, AK hop ups.... is the nub the same as normal M4 style ones or do i need to look for different things?

    My collection IS complete.

    Four AEGs, one bolt action, one NBB pistol, three GBBs.

    All tweaked and tinkered with multiple times. Don't think I'll buy anything else in the near future.

    Right now I'm throwing myself into the endless money pit because I want to turn my 933 (that is not a 933 anymore) into the lightest gun I can build for my 24+ hour games :)

    Personally I rip apart all my aegs if there's something that I don't like after first use

    applies for my VSS, SGR12 (cyma), SVD and my Bren

    got them to where i like them, only take them apart for servicing now

    My RPK is looking at me funny though, might need to sort it out ?

    anyone know how to take the foregrip off a specna arms H04?  mine has a slight wobble.  cant work out how to tighten let alone remove to shim

    i believe the bolts are threadlocked, joys

    Are Geoff's bio BB bags also bio? Because the bags are falling apart in storage.  The bbs within are still good though.

    So ZCI hop up and new barrel upped the fps of my m16 to 356 on 0.2, 312 on 0.25 and 296 on 0.28....   How can i drop it down by 10fps?  only thing i can think of is sawing off 1cm of barrel?

    no no, The stock g&p 509mm innerbarrel has the same fps on 0.2 as the 340mm zci inner barrel i have for an m4.  the 356fps is from the 509mm zci inner barrel i was wanting to swap the stock one for

    2 different guns yeah?  they will have different cylinder types, ported and non-ported

    nooo, i slipped it into the m16 out of curiousity as the m4 is current waiting for a new body.  all of these readings are from the g&p m16

    Yesterday was a reminder of why i have sank so much money into this game.  Was an awesome day, pulled off some sneaky plays and came away buzzing, still was this morning.

    Leaking 40 Mike fill valve.  cleaning: no fix, soaking in silicone oil: no fix...  its leaking on the low pressure maintinence gas too... any advice?

    K
    kasaran
    it appears to be coming out the centre of the valve and not round the outside where the O-ring is

    Isn't this a bit like asking how to stop involuntary guests escaping from your sex-dungeon?

    advice for bleeding gas mags of maintenance gas ready for game days?  I assume firing the gas out would coat the barrel with oil and pressing the button on the mag may damage the seal?

    FORUM MODERATORS: Can sale items marked as completed have the 'message seller' button removed, or after a while be deleted.  I have had repeated emails asking if a shotgun I sold 2 years ago is still available.  2 in the last couple of months...

    Speedbird_666
    Agreed - I sold some Peltors ages ago and still get messages about them. I try now to edit the listing with SOLD in font size 72 before marking it as complete - at least when I remember to do so.

    There is a forum feedback section - might be worth posting in there.

    hi, thats something for @proffrinkto look into

    Has aliexpress just recently just removed 90% of their airsoft products? seems they dont have anywhere near as much now as they did 6 months ago

    I noticed it with handguards.

    A while ago there was plenty of choice for decent repro handguards, now there's like 2 or 3 and they're crap as well.

    Gears, motors, pistons and compression parts are still widely available though.

    K
    kasaran
    Funnily enough it was handguards I was looking at.  Then backed up by my wishlist on there now being 95% unavailable. 

    It is a shame though, I'd say it will help my bank, but the alternatives are all more expensive

    I consider myself lucky that I bought them while they were still available, saved me some pretty penny because looking at them prices right now, on EU retailers, I would have spent at least 2.5 times what I actually spent. Fucking DD MFR XS repros being sold for €150 while I paid 50 posted + €2 in customs fees for mine.

    K
    something tells me, the handguard mount of a CM16 isnt a standard diameter?

    Skara

    Which model?

    Just a polymer combat machine

    You mean the barrel nut thread? That's AEG spec, just like every other AEG.

    You mean the actual nut diametre? That varies depending on the handguard

    You mean what?

    removing the fuse from a combat machine.... a good idea?

    View previous comments…
    Rogerborg

    I bin them off, but that's because I've popped a fuse on a locked up box with a stalled motor by doing the default reflex "Oh, I'll just hold the trigger and see what happens".

    So once you've done that, you'll know not to do it again.

    If the fuse pops because the motor has properly stalled under compression, you'll need to unlock the gearbox anyway.  All the fuse is doing is telling you that.  So now you need to unlock it and replace the fuse.

    If it pops because of an electrical short, that's a different consideration and not one to completely discount with lithium in the mix.

    It depends on your tolerance for risk.

    Tis annoying as I got a nice slim stock and the fuse case is prohibitively large for my smallest lipo.  I guess safest this post removal would be to MOSFET it, but I'm trying to do this on the cheap.  If it does pop though, I have plenty of spare pews, not that I want to set it up to fail

    20+ yrs playing binned the fuses out of pretty much every gun I’ve ever had(primarily for the exact same reason you want too) never had a problem with any of them . I’m a great believer in the train of thought that 95% of all faults that occur with airsoft kit wether AEG’s gas pistols or what ever is always down to user error and NOT the kit failing in its purpose . There not as strong as real guns so if you abuse them in any way shape or form it’s gonna end in tears . Savy ? ?

    anyone ordered from FatBobs before? do they downgrade their AEG's automatically? rather not have to fix a hot gun

    I bought my G&G L85 from there.  Dead on 330fps.  Not sure if G&G ship hot rifs to the UK though.   All my new ones have been within limits.

    Welp, that's the TM Scar H recoil ordered.  Leaving it stock.  What batteries are people using?

    Don't need to be concerned with lipos in a TM?  Guessing 7.4 will be fine?  I was expecting it to be NiMH like the mk18

    7.4 are fine, do not use 11.1 under any circumstances or you will kill it

    Cant tell if its all computer games or my general bias towards the larger calibre Rifs, but why am I now looking at Scar H's?

    I've found computer games does influence a lot of what you think is cool. If it performs well in a game, you end up associating that gun image with "good", and that seems to translate in real life.

    Video games definitely influence me on what I want to purchase. I went out and got a ASG B&T USW A1 since it was used in the latest Resident Evil game. I'm also do the same with Scar's at the moment thanks to good old Escape from Tarkov.

    K
    kasaran
    Its Insurgency Sandstorm and Ghost Recon Wildlands doing for me on the Scar.  And after getting a MK18 NGRS, should a really get another NGRS...  If TG were delivering I'd likely get the DoubleBell off them (and a skorpion).  Need to get round to getting Tarkov one of these days.  Shame its not on steam

    damn the cold weather killed my batteries today, so many lock ups on semi. pretty good day all the same

    Odds are it could well be a Cyma kit as Matrix are their own ‘in-house’ brand , all the stuff is bought in then re-branded as Matrix . Totally agree with Lozart about Evike they are very shall we say slap dash with international customers . As they’ve pretty much got the west coast market in their pocket their attitude if there’s a problem is “and what ya gonna do about it from the other side of the world ?” 
    Just so fecking annoying the way they’ve got so many thing you just can’t find anywhere else ! ?

    i doubt that would work, the Cyma is an aeg and the motor is in the grip, front grip need to clam-shell too for the battery.  i mean.... it would work with a lot of fettling, but i lack the skill or gear to do that. (if i had the ability, id have made a wooden stock for my m14 by now)
