  1. Yeah looks like they packed up about a year ago according to a reddit post from that time... will take them off the list for the time being.
  2. @The_Lord_PonchoYeah looking through 18airsoft now, and they actually have some great prices and parts... 16 quid for an E&C QD v2 shell with spring guide, not bad at all! They have a full range of both brushless and non brushed Solink motors.. I've had their 39k brushless for about two weeks now testing in a boneyard m4 and it's absolutely awesome, makes a 7.4v 25c run like an 11.1v. Anyway, I had no idea they made so many different models. Will try 18A out!
  3. Yeah would appear to be Hong Kong based: https://www.18airsoft.com/pages/ordering-information Will add it on
  4. Sorry for the delay, I don't think I got the notification for this 😶 Both added to the UK retailer list 👍
  5. An old Finnish joke about the Winter War: A large group of Russian soldiers in the border area in 1939 are moving down a road, when they hear a voice call from behind a small hill: "One Finnish soldier is better than ten Russians". The Russian commander quickly orders 10 of his best men over the hill where a gun-battle breaks out and continues for a few minutes, then silence. The voice once again calls out: "One Finn is better than one hundred Russians." Furious, the Russian commander sends his next best 100 troops over the hill and instantly a huge gun fight commences. After 10 minutes of battle, again silence. The calm Finnish voice calls out again: "One Finn is better than one thousand Russians!" The enraged Russian commander musters 1000 fighters and sends them to the other side of the hill. Rifle fire, machine guns, grenades, rockets and cannon fire ring out as a terrible battle is fought... Then silence. Eventually one badly wounded Russian fighter crawls back over the hill and with his dying words tells his commander, "Don't send any more men... it's a trap. There are two of them!"
  6. Looks like you can checkout on either your own website or shooting supplies ltd, which webby would you like me to update the list with @FABDefense ?
  7. Oldie but a goodie: Supposed transcript of a radio conversation of a US naval ship with Canadian authorities off the coast of Newfoundland in October, 1995. Radio conversation released by the Chief of Naval Ops 10-10-95.
  8. Yep good practice this for sure.
  9. hmm, Is that updated policy since Brexit then? I used them once a number of years ago.. but that was then and now is now. I suppose it goes without saying it may be worth contacting any EU shops and clarifying their up to date shipping policies before placing orders.
  10. Yeah I'm looking forward to check out the 2003 CW too, I've never seen it and was always put off a little by the animation style - apparently it's not considered canon at the moment. Mandalorian season 2 was terrific, I enjoyed the first season too, but the second was just freakin on a next level - I had literally been waiting for episode 6 of the second season my entire life 😎
  11. Yeah, just been googling and YTing it, and while it looks pretty neat in GTs pics, somehow it doesn't look all that special out the box - honestly if you wanna go something in the same vein I'd just go MP5.
  12. Oh yeah, I was so focused on the up close details in the second pic I must have glossed over all that info.. I have to say I'm not typically interested in anything that is not specifically modeled off of something real-steel. However that looks very cool !
  13. What is the base gun here? Looks like an MP5/MPX/AR mashup?
  14. Yeah I can imagine it sounding pretty "clack clack".. when we really wanna "slap slap" 😎 Another solution would be that chunk of metal but then gluing a rubber O-ring onto the front of the cocking tube - that might be the best of both worlds solution tbh. Sorry this 'what am bestest gun' thread turned into a tech shenanigans trouble shoot real fast 😅
  15. Honestly, I think a solid flat metal surface would eventually cause the bolt tube to start disintegrating where it usually does at the front - what might work is a few coils of AEG spring in there at the end.
  16. Yes this is a fact I have actually remedied this on both the MP5A2 and MP5K, took the front sights off and stuffed a piece of high density EVA foam up the front of the tube protruding just up to the point that it cushions the impact when the bolt flies home. The result means it doesn't break, however the sound is not quite as good, as you don't get the impact of the metal doweling of the charging handle hitting the front of the tube walls full force. The action is still satisfying enough though.
  17. Hehe, me too, i use one of those little sample honey jars
  18. Ah, in all fairness I should have checked in with ak2m4 as I do like his shop and services, It's just that I have never seen an actual airsoft shop just sell the slim ones alone so did not dig very much, it's always the multi spec packs! Good on him though for actually selling something the community wants! - oh well in another 10 years I'll pick up a pack from him 😅
  19. Strangely enough all 3 MP5s I have owned ended up with broken charging handles, cant figure out why for the life of me 🧐
  20. To quote 'Burt Gummer' in Tremors 2: "I am completely out of ammo.... that's never happened to me before" Searching through my little tub of shims, I cannot find a single sliver (0.1mm).. and there has gotta be at least a hundred in there! I don't think I've had to stock up on these in a decade or so - checking the prices online and they have certainly gone up. I used to get them from ehobby for $2/3 a bag I think. The other annoying thing is they always sell them to you in all three thicknesses; I've got plenty of the thicker ones, just need the 0.1mm! Anyway searching on ebay, I found these: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/10-50X-M2-M40-Stainless-Steel-Ultra-Thin-Flat-Washer-Ultrathin-Shim-Plain-Gasket/114590536320?var=414806532531 With my callipers I measured both some shims and some gear posts from different brands. The posts are usually just sub 3mm and the overall width of the standard shims (not the wider spur gear ones) is about 6mm - so it's the M3x6x0.1 I ordered - pack of 50 for £2.27 from China - not bad tbh. Just thought if anyone else was facing the same issue.. stocking up on endless thick shims and out of slivers, this might be useful! Enjoy!
  21. I assume you don't snipe or do much DMR stuff - it would diminish the effectiveness and enjoyability of those roles considerably.
  22. Yeah the Mando is based 5 years after ROJ if i'm not mistaken. As @Druid799 says though it was defo a different Krayt dragon... the one Mando slayed was probably over 10 times the size of that one out in the sand dunes in new hope. Hah! whata ya know! I suppose ultimately we have one of our dinosaurs missing to thank for last night's episode then I remember channel flipping one weekend when I was a youngster back in the 90s, and coming across 'one of our dinosaurs is missing' - expecting something closer to Jurassic Park, I remember being pretty disappointed 😅
