  1. So, I sold the majority of my airsoft stuff and now it feels like there is a void, which I want to fill with more airsoft stuff. Damn it.

      You can definitely buy my G39C - I'd feel like I was doing you a favour and helping to fill that Airsoft shaped space in your life...

  2. So, I sell all my airsoft stuff to quit and then spend £1k on a RIF stuff 2 weeks later. Why am I like this? Will it ever end? 😂

      I have quite the list! 

      Would have to put it in the WHYJB thread as I am not sure how long comments can be here.

       

      I shall compose said list fairly soon

      I guessed it would be a decent list at 1K - good effort that man! 😄

       

  3. Is there an EOTech replica for sale anywhere? :)

      Alright will do. So the eBay ones and the WE versions for about £4 more are basically the same quality?

      Oh cool :) Would the flip up sight covers fit with a lense protector? Got the flip covers for £3 so I don't need to get the WE one

  4. Anyone know of a 8.4v NiMH battery that can fit a standard M4 buffer tube and is fairly inexpensive?

      8.4v nimah's go in AK dust cover or hammered in a mp5k, some are bloody tight fit in Galaxy mp5k.

      Forget hpa tank on ya back. Ibjust strap a car battery on my back instead and hose away until gun breaks (15 mins usually)

    4. MILITATED

      LOL well I just need to put it in a SOCOM stock for the M4 :) Gotta test the gun. Think the battery I saw was 10cm in length, 2cm wide and 1.3cm high, which will fit :)

  5. How on earth do you separate deans connectors?

      there is even a seperator thingy majig to assist in seperating them for slippery fingered limp wristed users I guess. Yes grip deans are best

      but pay the extra and grip ones are fine - especially out in cold with gloves on etc...

  6. About Hobbyking - I've heard a lot of cases where they don't add the UKARA number on the package but they've been delivered. How risky is it? Any misfortunes?

      MILITATED

      Yeah I've heard that RIFs coming into the country should have the number on just in case. I'd like to order from there but just not too sure how it'll go if they don't put it there

    3. Sacarathe

      Sacarathe

      Actually, rather than "just in case", its a requirement, at least, if that is your only way of proving a defence, but, it's supposedly only a 'requirement' insofar as maintaining expediency.

       

      Customs should, if seizing the package, contact you requesting the same information.

      I tried to buy of them recently, they wouldn't ship a black WE makarov to the UK, but would ship the silver one. Ridiculous

      Ive started started using the word c*nt more usually following the word cheating. Also started using the word REALLY as the person I just blatantly shot tries to run off without taking it. Also using the word bitch as in stop crying like a when the second shot hits them some where they cant ignore.

    4. Sitting Duck

      Sitting Duck

      I can completely relate to that.

      surely you gotta have felt one of them shots you cheating ---t.

      But stop calling me Shirley

      needle and thread and use the needle to wrap some thread through the hinge around the end of the pin for the hinge. This will add friction.

      Will try that, thanks :)

      Alright nice. What should I send a gas pistol + 1 gas mag by? I was gonna use IPostParcels but their services are down.

      I was going to send one by royal mail tracked, but no idea if that's the cheapest or best, just the easiest for me.

      ipostparcels "seems" ok to me atm saying they 12% off summer sale etc...

      I used to book it it all online, pay by paypal, then drop off at depot across from where I work that evening save money and 95% next day delivery - good value service I found in the past

      Duck! It has been a few years since we last spoke :lol: Hope all is well.

      I certainly did not expect to need as much stuff as I have for this hobby, bit it is all good fun and valuable in terms of experiences. There is certainly more to airsoft than initially thought! 

       

      I shall pick up some JB Weld eventually, I recall buying this 2 part epoxy for incredibly cheap about 2 years ago. It has been sitting in the "airsoft drawer" since about 3 days ago and I have just been repairing whatever I can find :lol:

      Nope - UPS with a business account, only ones who won't regularly seize and destroy.

  18. Can anyone tell me if this black bit can be removed from a gearbox without causing any problems, and what is it? The bit in the red circle. Only thing preventing the gearbox from going into my gun. http://imgur.com/R2MtZA6

      it's a part for the fake bolt hold open, it's connected to the bolt release on the receiver.

       

      What box are you fitting into what receiver?

    3. MILITATED

      MILITATED

      The idea was to fit a specna arms box into a King Arms BW15 receiver. Had to file those protruding bits that held the fake bolt thing for it to fit, but the specna shell doesn't have the protruding bit on the top for the charging handle to latch on to. Eventually ended up mixing the specna and king arms gearbox internals together inside the king arms shell. Turned out to be a pain but it is all in. Just wish I could test it, but I don't have a mini tamiya battery! (They're all...

      Alright cool. Weird because I've used it for ages without issues

  20. You can see some of the winding wheels of the hi cap mags in the movie 28 Weeks Later! Never noticed that before. How often is airsoft used in movies?

    1. Sitting Duck

      Sitting Duck

      probably quite a lot, easy to obtain for film makers or defense. Very cheap to buy lots of various models to use - but ffs use mid/low caps or you might as well show the motor height in grip as well

    2. MILITATED

      MILITATED

      Yeah can't possibly see a reason for using a hi cap, bit strange really

    3. Hibernator

      Hibernator

      All the time! They have to pay for an armorer to be onset if real guns (even blank firers) are used, so any scenes with no shooting tend to use airsoft. Or they will use airsoft and add the firing effect rather than using blanks. Most of John Wick's pistol scenes are airsoft GBB pistols for safety reasons. They digitally added the effects.

      Yep, had someone behind arguing with another worker, saying how "he'll show them crazy" & whatnot with the workers saying they'll call the police & everyone else with their phones out. Guy dealing with my parcel was just fixed on the arguing guy & tossed the parcel instead of getting out of his chair and moving it. Thankfully, a replacement is $20 shipped from SRU, so not the end of the world.

      Where did you get the PRS from? Genuine or clone?

      MILITATED

      Clone from SNITactical but had a couple issues with the order so far. Overcharged (~15% more than my order total 😒) and not sure if they are even sending the one I requested. Nearing 2 weeks since order was placed but no word on it being sent yet. May have to look elsewhere (typical as it is the last piece!).

      Pics will follow once it is all together 😁

      There are 3 generations of PRS if I remember correctly

  25. Other than worn out trigger contacts, what is likely to cause a gun to fire in full auto only? V2 gearbox

    1. Hudson

      Hudson

      Cut off lever worn or loose?

      Selector plate?

    2. MILITATED

      MILITATED

      It was a random gearbox a mate gave to me, so I haven't been able to test it (connected to deans, and I don't have a battery for it). I took a look inside, and all that seems fine. The only visual cause for concern would be that the casing on the red wire has been worn and opened a bit. I reconstructed it, so it could possibly have been a loose cut off lever, but I will have to wait to test it. Just trying to find any other possibilities

    3. MILITATED

      MILITATED

      He told me it only fired full auto, though. Safety works.
