  1. Anyone know of any Krytac Vectors GBBs in stock before I buy another TM mp5?

      Only people I know that did have them was surplus store, but they sold out very quickly as soon as people caught wind. If I don't like mine i'll give you a ring haha.

      If it's not trashed, have his bloody arm off!

      They don't really come up for sale here much, I guess if someone invests they tend to keep it, plus very few will pay that NIB price from a shop in the first place for said item to even make it to the 2nd hand market.  European store prices are inflated, but as long as you make sure it's real then it's worth considering.

  3. Anyone know where to get First Spear Tubes in the UK - Need male only

      Might be best to drop @TheFull9 a line. I don't think they're officially available outside of the US.

  4. Pinion gear for the TM MK46 box mag - well known shop £5 each, plus £3 postage.

     

    Or go on amazon and get generic chinese made ones, 20 for £5 and next day delivery.

     

    I know shops have overheads, but a 20x mark up?

  5. Found 5 boxes of those thunder snaps in a bag as part of a trade deal i made 2 years ago. Yeah, not surprised they were banned...

      Oh right.

      The ones I saw were blue. 

      Are yours for sale? Regards

      The product also poses a risk of damage of hearing as the product exceeds safe noise emission limit of 120dB

  6. Am I going senile, but do crye pants have a waterproof gator bit around the ankles?
    I think i remember my G2/AC pants having a waterproof ankle bit and a bungee thing to tighten, but after a year out, I can't remember if it was my good ones or cheap ones that did

    1. TheFull9

      Gen 1s had cordura around the ankles, which is waterproof generally.  Other than that one instance, nope, not at all.

      I must be imagining it then. I just remember last year putting on some pants, and noticing that a draw-sting was missing inside one ankle, and not the other. 

       

      edit: it was indeed my cheaper ones. Which is odd as you would expect the super army soldier version to have it

      Just to add to the pot of bubbling confusion I have a pair of OPS trousers from many moons ago and they have waterproof gators inside the ankles .

  7. When is this dude?

  8. Don’t suppose anyone knows of a good place in Manhattan to poke around for surplus gear?

  9. Must've got the most Friday of all Friday afternoon guns.

     

    Pistonhead screw threaded/stuck, couldn't get it off. Upon inspection, someone had put the base part on upside down, so the screwdriver slot was on the inside.

      Did anyone answer the phone?  Some places are pretty swamped at the moment, of course that's no excuse.

      Usual advice, just fire in with a chargeback through your payment processor.  "Item not received, retailer unreachable."  No elaboration.  The sooner you do it, the sooner you'll get it resolved, and if it does turn up (and only if it or a refund turns up) you can always close the case.

      I visited in store last friday (20th August) and they are open and operating, their website is just out of date. Give them a call!

  11. M249 locked up gearbox mystery solved. Wasn’t the ARL or battery, but…

      Nothing worse than having a bent shaft! 😉

      Now there's something you don't see every day.  Any idea what happened there? I can't imagine how you'd get that without something else locking up first.

    3. rj1986

      No clue, rest of the gears, gearbox piston all seem fine - no metal dust or anything at all in it

       

      Although I just found a bearing/bushing has failed on a different gear, so last minute panic shopping to find some in stock

  12. G&P M249 locking up. It’s full auto only so thinking it’s battery related.

    Jefftron V2 with active break and a decent shim job?

      Well you completely killed my idea of what the problem could be ! 🤦‍♂️
      Over the years I’ve seen plenty of guns locking up due to the connector and batt being the cause , as in low powered Batt and Neolithic tamiya connectors , say’lla’vie! 
      hope you solve it bud 👍

    3. Sneaky

      Could it be a wiring/battery issue?

      Does it lock up when you use a different battery?

      Keen to know as I used to have a M249 in the past. 

    4. rj1986

      Need to unlock it to test, but will service it, clean it and put in a jefftron whilst it’s open.

       

      watch this space for questions on where to buy tiny springs in the next few days 

  13. Fancy a long range pewpew.

     

    I have an option on a fully EdGI HTI (which means i will need to sell on an TM 416 to free up some money) or wait out for the Tac41 and then maybe upgrade later.... tough choice

    1. DestrO

      HTI is pointless, just an SRS that's too big

    2. Skara

      Tac41 hands down.

      From what I've seen it doesn't need much in terms of upgrades.

    3. rj1986

      I jumped on the tac41 hype train in the end. Now to go into the random boxes of stuff I have to find a scope

  14. Anybody using a crye CPC - do you use those little support tab things on the inner cummerbund?

  15. Can tell it's been a while since I've used my gear - just spent 30 minutes trying to remember how to use a lipo charger

    1. Shamal

      Shamal

      Whats a lipo charger?

      🤔
