I've always done the same, but there is a certain attractiveness to paying a few quid and knowing it will come back back working as expected rather than having to strip it down to a gearbox AGAIN because you fitted the wrong length nozzle. ** I am not saying I've done that this week but I did order a couple of new nozzles from AK2M4 today...

Not looking for recommendations but I am interested in experiences. I've done plenty of work on my own guns and there isn't a single thing that I haven't changed or had apart in an AEG and they (mostly) work afterwards, but lately I am finding that it is more frustrating than rewarding doing the work myself. so the question I guess is what sort of money is it to get work done, lets say gearbox shimming or changing a piston or even just a general service what sort of cost is it? Simon

Thanks for the replies - I guess we will run it with the BBs we have and see how it plays.

perhaps I should mention we mostly play CQB with occasional outdoor (very occasional)

My son is about to get his first HPA rifle this weekend, he is being told that it is pointless using BB weight under 32's as we usually run with 25s in the AEG's this could be an a PITA. I can't see how it would make much difference - am i wrong? Simon

Charger is an Imax B6 which I think can do a conditioning charge as well if memory serves. I'll give the batteries a charge up and chrono the guns, hopefully they will all work as they should - I can't recall what mix of springs and hop rubbers I have in everything so hopefully nothing is too hot. Just need to see if I can get some fitness back before I run around like a loon all day

so the last time I went to an airsoft event was in 2019 (I think, could have been 2018) and every gun I had with me played up to such an extent it ruined the day. I got home in a mood chucked the kit in the attic and told myself I was done with airsoft. I then decided I was going to sell all my kit but needed to get it all working, so bought mosfets, new gears and all sorts of bits and went through every one of my guns and made them all work again as they should do. Then I thought why sell everything I'll just do a few events, by this time it is march 2020 and we all know what happened next... so with one thing and another since lockdown ended I've been Ill, my partner had a significant spinal operation and I needed to manage her recovery from that and I never got around to going to any events or selling the kit until today. So I've booked for the 5th of December with bloodbath events at Clipstone headstocks now at this point my lipos are probably 6 years old, all 1450mAh 7.4v 25C 10Wh things, they seem in good shape not bloating or anything (they were put away with a maintenance charge) and seem to be charging fine, will these still be good, are there any better options out there these days? Similarly the BB's I have will be at least two years old, they should still be fine - i guess I'll find out when I do some test firing this week, other than that what is new in the world of airsoft?

Possibly more useful outdoors/Non CQB but certainly not essential.

This surprises me, I haven't had issues with any other generic m4 mags at all

it is only the mag that came with it I had any issues with, non of my other mags were a problem.

Yep some more of those, I really like the way they are made and each one comes in a lovely little presentation box that is totally unnecessary but makes you feel like you have bought a quality product. I am also interested in the magnets, will be giving those a go when they come back in stock

got some new fets arriving today, got an m6 and my ICS CXP-APE to do - hopefully get these both right first time

I suspect you are correct but it is at least an easy thing to try

Some mid cap tracer mags http://www.redwolfairsoft.com/redwolf/airsoft/Magazines_G_P_AEG_Std_G_P_130rds_Illuminated_Magazine_for_Marui_M16_Series.htm Tracers are awsome fun to use
