Surprised no one has brought up 'Silo Entertainment', Dutch fella who makes videos kind of in the same vein as Novritsch, mostly sniping but he does some rifleman stuff too. He sometimes talks through his tactics, in the moment thinking and and positioning. He did interesting one a little while back where he tested out a low profile exo suit which allowed him to run faster and save energy lol Someone else who comes to mind for actual tactics and methods, is 'Levelcap' (better known for FPS military shooters) - he has not made an airsoft video in many years, but go through his airsoft playlist, If I remember correctly he was quite good at breaking down what and why he was doing what he was doing in his clips and it was pretty entertaining. It's quite funny, one of the reasons he quit airsoft was that whenever he would go, all the kids would start following him 😂

Ah, did not realise they are NA based, so double the price after shipping 😅

@Dodgyback https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:5640506 🤓🤓🤓 He he he

Yeah 👍, will have to chuck it on the list of projects - will defo see if I can find someone to 3d Print something along these lines first. Mmm I wondered if it might be an Israeli one too, the red dot itself looks a little bit trijicon-esque. Edit*** Yeah here we go: https://www.trijicon.com/discontinued-products/details/rx01-10

Ah I see, so same as what I have... that's a lot of material you took off 😮 ...the Z carry handle is quite heavy, and your rendition looks nice and light: 3D print might be a good shout though 🤔 Mine as is: Just checking again and it looks like what Garand Thumb had is actually a self contained red dot with the carry handle attachment built in: i wonder what it is, need to dig a bit

Some beautiful pieces in that collection mate, love all the 60s to 90s / cold war era stuff! Question regarding the quoted colt 9mm carbine kit: what is that forward carry handle mount you've put your C-more on? I think I saw it on the Garand thumb m16a2 video and have actually been looking for that mount ever since but with no luck. I want to mount my own C-more that way too. Any links or pointers as to where I could find it would be great!

Ah I see, because most AEG AKs only allow a couple of inches of movement on the charging handle - the old slide allowed adjustment to be accessible from the front of the chamber, the dial does not. Interesting. If that is the case, we're talking, Pros: finer adjustments and holds position while firing. Cons: might need a flat head screwdriver (or dust cover off) to adjust.

Good to know! I mean I find that issue quite common when using tall nubs like an omega or similar paired with Macarons and other off the shelf flat hop type buckings. sometimes you have to sand a mil or so off the lever arm to ensure less protrusion at the lowest setting.

Oh nice - do Specnas come with those as stock then? I wonder what the point of that flat top cover piece over the barrel entrance is, looks optional either way

Yeah I have some unopened 4uantums lying about too so depending on how it goes for you I might just do exactly the same 😁 Yeah I was wondering the same thing. I saw the rotary unit in Negative's recent LCT shaming video and thought damn that's what I want (as he rants about how crap their internals are 😂)

Alternatively you could use a crane stock like the one @Lozart linked which should take a 2000-2600mah nun-chuck style battery that'll last all day (depending on how trigger happy your boy is I suppose 😅) You can get something like this in a 7.4 or 11.1 config - the stock tube itself usually fits a cell if you use 11.1s https://www.componentshop.co.uk/7-4v-2600mah-25c-continuous-discharge-cranestock-lipo-battery.html You can also get 9.6v NIMH bats in the same config if you run those.

Evening Don't suppose anyone has slapped one of these into your generally available brand AKs (CYMA, G&G, TM, E&L etc) Thinking about replacing the default cast G&G hop in my GKM. Worst case will just buy one and see for myself, but thought there might be some xp floating about - I can't be the only one fed up with the crappy little slide. https://www.patrolbase.co.uk/lct-rotary-hop-unit-for-ak-aeg?srsltid=AfmBOormEOVAtsd9Ni3W6kY6g8j776qtSpe6crPiKamhbHW4BqHma4wm

Yeah this is a known issue with Ali express, plenty of info out there on it - I only use the website, but occasionally I get "does not ship to your location errors." Usually signing in and out or logging in with a incog tab corrects this for me. Clearing your browser cache and cookies might also have the same effect.

Do you mean my UKARA info? or just the nature of the shipment? I have not re-upped UKARA for a while.. wasn't really planning on doing so any time soon either 🤔

Evening all, Was about to checkout some parts with an HK based retailer, but paused when I saw that the entirety of the basket could be construed as the majority of the externals for a RIF M4 Receiver M4 pistol grip M4 outer barrel & extensions M4 M-lok Hand guard (some other bits and bobs too: MP5 mags, battery highcap spinner, MP5 hand guard I'm not even buying all these components for a new build - I just have too many ARs that are due some new bits 😅 (i.e not deliberately trying to circumvent RIF import rules - but may be doing so inadvertantly) This particular shop tends to use HK Post which then goes onto RM or PF (So not UPS) I'm just wondering if that combo could actually get assessed as a RIF import and whether it would be more prudent to break the shipment into two lots (will cost me 15-20 quid more but that would be nothing compared to the stress of having to deal with BF etc - so that's probably my answer right there). I use Asian retailers all the time, but this might be the first time I've ended up with this much of a RIF in one go - hence the caution. Any recommendations or relevant experiences? that UPS thread is making me paranoid. (Sorry not mentioning the retailer name until I checkout as the schizo part of me is certain you people will steal the stuff right out of my basket!!!!! 🤣🤪 - some seriously insane prices there!)
