The issue was fn had no real military interest in the scar and the only was acquired by SF units. Even then the us socom units soon removed it from their inventory as most soldiers didn't like it as much as had a more higher failure rate to the M4 platforms used. So fn discontinuing it i understand why. Luckily this won't effect Airsoft production as there will always be a need for it as a Airsoft gun.
That's why I love GBBR too. Plus the realism to their operation and strip down. Gives me some nostalgia to my time in the Forces, still remember the whole weapons drills for the l85 off by heart haha.
Was just about to say this.
I've used propane from day 1 of my first rif 15 years ago and never ever used silicone in the gas, not once had a issue with any guns. My we l85 has never had new seals in the nozzle or mags and it seals and runs beautifully. So I have always felt silicone in the gas is a myth that it's needed. But that's only my personal experience.
Any propane bottles with the map/colmens screw adapter. Don't use camping bottles as alot of these are different fittings.
I'm currently using these from tool station

Also don't fall for the you have to add silicone oil to your fill valves as this isn't needed and will only fill the whole system with unwanted oil.
Sweet nice one. Cheers bud. I'll definitely be there November. I'll be on the last game of the month. On the 30th. Will definitely pop in to say hi and try understand that Glaswegian twang. Haha.
Has anyone on here played a game at Gloucester prison? Is it a decent site?
I like the look of this place and thinking of booking on for a game end of November as I'm on holiday that way. (Some how cleared it with the missus and she's happy for me to go)
Cheers bud. That was my mind set too. I'm not shy of doing risk assessments (do them regularly at work the pain of working as an engineer) so that definitely will be getting done. Luckily I've spoken to people that live nearby the area and all are happy as long as I provide enough cover preventing bbs entering their property so that's a bonus there having the residents on side.
