      pretty damn sure somebody had that Raider up for sale with a custom made mofo outer barrel they made at work...

      The Raider has outer in 3 bits so they made a mofo tube to go on as the last piece I think. but damn sure it was on here

      Years ago the pc funny was:

      turn on pc with no keyboard attached and it halts saying:

      KEYBOARD ERROR

      press F1 to resume

      WTF - how the f*ck do I press an imaginary F1 key ffs

      Ah, PCs and laptops have never been straight forward for me :) Always a problem... Just really hope this PS/2 adapter works. Wish there was another way to access the bios! Or change the boot order via command prompt...

      I looked at the 416 receiver issue and realised some some other 416 front ends don't always align perfectly with others, then some have had receiver thread problems too. So even with my bits n bobs I said wtf and bought a £140 bi-8001 to tweak

    3. MILITATED

      MILITATED

      Yeah Lozart, that is exactly what I meant by all parts :) Thanks for helping, it was actually the sort of price range I was expecting (the bloke that sells all the M4 parts estimated between £50 - £70 depending on condition). Ah yes, this is definitely an expensive mofo to me! Great bit of kit though. I basically bought it because of the handguard! I then found a similar one on eBay (it is pretty much the same thing but lower quality). It is pretty much complete aside from t...

      MILITATED

      ...aside from the handguard which I am using for my new build, and maybe the grip, but I can just leave that on the BW15 and buy a similar one. Absolutely love the gun to bits, but I am trying to build a 'suited up' looking gun.

      (To be honest, I'm terrified of armed police coming round - I'm worried they're get their facts wrong, try some forced entry, then shoot our dogs, let our brain damaged rescue cat out (who'll never find her way back even after 5 years here) and damage our antique piano during a search. Repairing a small scratch on that can cost in excess of £700.)

      Apparently they like to arrive a week or so later to check up on you and the package. If it does happen then it's just likely to be two officers, according to those who have had the experience

      The gun just will not cycle with any of the mags, very odd.

      He said he will accept a return but I will have to wait until the 21st so I may as well see if I can fix it.

      He will also send the parts he forgot to include in the meantime, just in case I do fix it but damn...

      Might be able to get the other mags. Someone offered on my TM G18C but I have to wait until the morning to talk to him about it. If it sells, then I will have the Vector and a few mags! Also a LaRue 12" M4 rail maybe

      If I didn't get a Vector, I'd definitely have went for the MP7. I just like SMGs that look completely different with an extended mag (such as the Vector/MP7)

      I only ever put 7-8 mags through it max, then never used after that so it sat for a long time before I sold it so can't really comment on that side of things I'm afraid

      Not particularly a fan of it and I believe it is AEG  (I only use GBB). ACR stock is my favourite and the PTS rail reminds me of a 416 in terms of the shape. Got the MSK today, just waiting on the CQB barrel and rail now :) Very happy so far

      BBrotherwood

      For the same reason lots of people sell M4s. Lots of people buy an L85 and suffer from ooh shiney syndrome and go for something else later on. Its a popular replica so your naturally going to see it for sell more.

    4. Avionyx

      Avionyx

      I think it's something that suits a particular style of play/player.

       

      The weight and firing position of the gun don't suit everyone and I think people don't always take that into consideration before buying.

       

      I personally find M4's very uncomfortable to use yet my G&G L85 just seems to fit well.

       

      I suspect for those people that are used to using an M4 or similar type of stance they may find the L85 strange and as such it could negatively af...

      It was a 34" Bush one so not too big of a loss, but still a pain in the ass. Happy I didn't shoot the 50" one in the living room though! That would have put me in a very bad situation. Tell you what though, those TM glocks sure do make a dramatic impact!

       

      Ah yes, that is the video that popped into my mind instantly and I must say, I felt like a right bellend. On the bright side, it was time for a new TV sometime soon for my room anyway! On the not so bright...

      if you get half of it back and bin it - it is still better than having to post it back for full refund.

      Ah the adapter came from 'Matrix CNC' from the UK on eBay - just a heads up in case you ever come across them. As I said, got the Hephaestus one on which allowed me to put my ridiculously long suppressor on there :D funnily enough, it is marked .45 ACP (written CAP on the suppressor...) which matches the Vector :) just need some reliable iron sights or/and an optic for it now

      Shrug I've had stuff ie Co2 from retailers through them and I've also sent Co2 capsules through them myself.

      It even says in the compressed gasses and liquids part 'These must be sent by 48 hiur service.)

       

      Had this argument with another forum member who refused to accept that part was even in there.

      I'd say no in parts - ie gearbox out of receiver....

      Possible questions if complete fitted with pistol grip. Some HK will sell ya guns shipped in two pieces a week apart but dunno the success rate of getting through ok without raising suspicion or duty

    3. Lozart

      Lozart

      You only need UKARA if you're importing a whole RIF. Granted people at customs might get a bit shirty of you get two packages from the same place with half a gun in each but if it's just the body kit then you should be fine.

    4. MILITATED

      MILITATED

      Yeah he just wants the body of it. It does have the pistol grip and gearbox inside though. All it needs to be full are barrels, handguard, stock and a battery to be honest

      I would recommend getting some flanged dome head screws. They will hold the grip better.

    3. Sitting Duck

      Sitting Duck

      There are "roofing" types of bolts m3 about 6mm or 8mm that will suffice as well, large flanged heads but flat head screwdriver. You need bolts not self tapping screws. M3 bolts

    4. Qlimax

      Qlimax

      I use those screws myself they are perfect and hold nicely. A lot of the bolts are Allen key heads from what I found and it's much easier having a Phillips head to screw in than messing with an Allen key.
