    Finished Rebuilding the MP5 with a QD shell - will finally be testing and rating the huge box of spare springs this weekend.

      I mean it's a necessary "investment" right 😜

    The company I've been interviewing with for the past month or so offered me the job today - I replied with a counter offer and they accepted.
    Possibly my second thought on the matter was.. 'I may well now be able to afford an LCT G3A3'...  at least without wincing that is.

      Hey congrats! Not enough people negotiate wages and such these days, but sounds like you nailed every part of the application process. Buy that G3 with your hard earned victory money! :P

    Anyone else finding google searches incredibly slow today: 10-20 second response times? almost feels like one of those slow down attacks.

      Oh.. plugging my wifi dongle into a different USB port seems to have solved that 😅🤣

    Would it be at all possible to get a mod to change my display name? Not sure why I have this one.. haven't really used it since I was about 14 years old and i'm not even that into Jango Fett anymore!!! 😏

      I have a certain fondness for the prequel trilogy as they were the ones from my formative years (still think people shit on Phantom Menace way too much). However a lot of the dialogue is pretty lame. Alec Guinness said in an interview that Lucas gave him a percentage of the gross profits to go back and help him improve the script of A New Hope. Shame he didn't do the same for these films!

      Yeah I certainly, even today think the prequels are just fine.. i'm mean flawed fine... but still fine, and significantly enhanced by the clone wars content imo.

       

      Jedi and Empire are still my favs though. The new trilogy.. atrocious, heinous crime against star wars.

       

      Yes, I was discussing that with my brother the other day; we were wondering if Alec Guinness' family were still getting star wars royalties off his deal.

    Just finished servicing and upgrading my ancient CA M16A2.. mosfet, flat-hopped, shim job, air seals all done - popped an SHS m110 in and its firing 444 fps consistent - that has gotta be a mislabeled spring 😂 !!!!

      Just tested the 320 fps VN spring in the A2 - putting out 425... boss mode air seal confirmed 😅 gonna cut about 6 coils off the m110 and see what happens - should really do it a couple coils at a time but really i'm losing my patience, really wish that this GB had QD spring - alas its an old CA 7mm m15 GB shell.

      I would be looking at the Air Seal on your VN if I were you! ha :)

       

      An M90 spring only costs a fiver. Would be much better then a spring cut down by that amount.

      Mmm that 320 is more or less as it should be as far as i'm aware, the VN was a home build including the GB and I always try and do at least a half decent job on the air seals.

       

      Anyway, So I took 6 coils off and crimped the end of the spring under a flame - got it down to around 365. Opened it up again swapped the bearing spring guide out for a very bog standard solid metal ACM one - and now it sits pretty much smack on 350 - DONE! 😪    It feels like a very short spring now though, it pretty much just sits in the gearbox flush without having to be pushed into the shell; made reassembly easier than usual!
