    You can use mini blowers for a 3D printer, hook up to a 9v battery, and if you want to be fancy, use a PWM to control the speed. However, you're not going to get a lot of spare real estate inside the lid to circulate air

    I take offence at being called an SAS wannabe. I'd go for the Air Force and have a nice comfy officer's mess if anything

    I'm a semi-regular at RIFT so you'll be in for a treat at their sites. You've already got the main thing which is a decent set of boots with ankle support. Apart from that, maybe some gloves, plenty of liquid and a good sense of humour and willingness.

    I think it would be because its cheap as chips, easy to get hold of and available in pretty much every size under the sun.

    Just got the waldo custom hush o rings - might be a bit OTT to call them game changers, but every TM gun is getting them from now on. Yes, including springers

    It's the little things that count - Waldo Custom Hush valves o-rings for my mws and glock mags. Goodbye to gas jizzing everywhere

    I just got a reply this morning - may be he does them in batches?

    Doing the man maths on it - £130 for a TM G17, £220-250 for a steel slide and internals, so you're up to £350 ish for that off the bat, but pre built with a new system. But can see it being £400 in UK shops.

    I've got the tool so will attempt it when i get the nub and hop rubber. Saw a post from Sam at KOA, and he said use a lot of heat, and hold the rail & body while torquing so that you dont snap the gun (worse nightmare)

    I put it down to Youtubers who spunk £1000's into a silverback or VSR, and then edit gameplay to make it look like they shoot lasers, rather than the truth of sitting in a bush, firing 10 rounds to hit the target, then spend the afternoon in the safe zone wondering why it's not working. People watch it, buy a novitwat or cyma/well/jg and a scope and wonder why they're not doing it, and sell it after 2 games.

      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.

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

      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.

      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

    So joining the MWS fold this saturday after seeing a pretty cracking deal. Game booked for sunday - anywhere i can pick up the brass nub between now and then?
  20. rj1986
    These are the same people who play rugby just so they can make big hits and/or fight people. Or play Sunday league to two foot players. Anyway, my airsoft day… didn’t. DMR is still in a queue to get fixed after eating the mosfet, so I got my M249 out the cupboard. That then locked up during my test fire meaning I need to take it down to unlock it. I took that as a sign and moved it to next week. The most annoying bit is this would be the game to get my UKARA reactivated and I have a TAC41 waiting for me at Firesupport.

    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 ?

      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

    There was a 2-tone GHK and MWS on here recently.
  24. rj1986
    I often see and also myself, leave things against trees or behind cover. Sucks that someone would do that.

    Some zci barrels and hop rubber set ups from our good friend @ak2m4??
