      @ak2m4AAP uses standard GBB cut and the stock is 129mm long with a o-ring channeled in about 5mm from the end.
      The only aftermarket brand who have copied this design I've seen so far is PDI

      They're relatively cheap pistols. They will always be available and as time goes on more and more will enter the market.
      On some sales groups they're as cheap as £65 brand new.

  4. How long should I leave it before I accept that my last Airsoft game, was probably my last Airsoft game? 🤔

      When I burn out, I go somewhere new on my own for a session. I'll either have a great time and it will re-ignite me or I'll see that what I already have nearby isn't actually as bad so will re-ignite to go back.

      I used to very much identify as an "airsoft sniper" covid did me a solid and I got into Hi Capa builds and it's been an ongoing "ism" since.

       

      Sadly I too like you am one of the single figure % who play airsoft and aren't autistic though so game days with other airsofters are still challenging, that's why I pick who I go with carefully so I have a relaxed time - not neccessarily then "day to end all days" every time.

  5. Anyone else buy that 3d printed pistol stand from the midlands airsoft fair?  being told it is made to fit any double stack pistol, it was 3mm too wide for a M9, P226, Grach, 5-7, G19 and desert eagle...  it was cheap, and after a time with a dremmel it works great. but amazed at how off the fitment was

      Much like "Universal" car parts. Fits nothing unless you spend hours making it fit.

  6. What if I turn a ML MR-Hop into a R-Hop?

  7. Tracer unit suggestions anyone?

    Need one for an upcoming tournament :)

      @Skara The brighter C is a very cost effective unit if you plan on "only" throwing greens. It's more or less the smallest on the market, is one of the brightest ones and has a nice auto off feature.

       

      I'm a little biased as mine has been amazing for the last year.

  8. Hi all.

    A friend of mine acquired a TM 1911 government in the olive green box a while back and it’s full metal. Never seen a TM pistol full metal before. Is this a thing? Or a one off? It’s got all colt trades and TM markings. 

    if anyone knows more about it that would be great 👍 

  9. RIF from HK stuck at customs 😭 HMRC say I need a RIF declaration form that doesn't appear to be readily available on the internet. Hopefully Parcelforce come good tomorrow when I ring.

      Tell me about it. I'm trying to install a HPA adaptor to one and about to launch it across the room.

  11. So ZCI hop up and new barrel upped the fps of my m16 to 356 on 0.2, 312 on 0.25 and 296 on 0.28....   How can i drop it down by 10fps?  only thing i can think of is sawing off 1cm of barrel?

  12. Silverback - most annoying manufacturer?
    If you were going to give any youtube channel an exclusive - why give it to a channel with under 1000 subs???

      @Musica have a look at https://hicapahub.co.uk/

      He generally carries all the really nice AM stuff, CowCow and AIP as well as 9Ball and PDI barrels.

      He's just announced as well he's going to start stocking LA Capa Customs stuff which is blingy.

      The correct answer is Hi Capa.

      Mk23's are silent but slow and heavy trigger pull rule it out from anything more than a sidearm or carbine body DMR.

      Glocks have shit triggers.

      AAP's are cheap but always end up breaking at some point (also see point on glocks).

      TM Hi Capa can be bought cheaply and ran on HPA from the off and you'll slowly find yourself go down the rabbit hole. 

       

      I am biased, I have multiple capas. In 2 years I went from 1 capa to 2, to 3 to 5. In that time I also tried my hand with a 2 AAP's and 2 Mk23's which didn't cut the mustard or perform I felt "as well" as my Capas.

       

      A word of caution though, it can get expensive very fast in Hi Capa land. There are always new parts coming as well which is detrimental to your credit balance.

      First time there, didn't really know what to expect to be honest. Was ok once I moved onto M4 but day was a little marred by the gamesmanship.

    st browsing as my son wants a sniper for his birthday but I've been told to buy second hand incase he doesn't like it and prefers his aeg

    1. Steveocee

      He likely wants to get into sniping because he's seen any of the number of high profile YouTubers doing it. Sadly the reality is far from that, they cut together days of footage to give an 8 minute video that looks more action packed than the most recent F&F movie.

       

      Sniping is a long game, it's slower paced and it's tough going if you don't have a competitive rifle from the off. Amazing fun if that's your thing though.

  17. Sods fucking law! Dusting off the DMR that I've setup to use 0.36's and of course I can only find 0.20's, 0.23's, 0.25's, 0.28's, 0.30's, 0.32's, 0.40's & 0.43's 🫤

      36's are AR food. DMR's need at least 4's.

  18. Amazing day yesterday at Midlands Airsoft Fair. Didn't spend the earth but got some bits I wanted.

    1. Steveocee

      Steveocee

      A couple of the stalls said that they would check UKARA before selling a RIF.

       

      Some of the bigger ones didn't, I think it's an almost fair assumption that to go to an airsoft fair, pay £5 for entry to wander round and purchase then you are "most likely" an airsofter.

       

      The one which made me smile was one of the players stalls (selling second hand stuff) stating it would check UKARA as I didn't even think that was possible any more.

       

      I can say though that I went knowing my UKARA had expired but still came away with a new RIF.

  19. I think I may be all BB gunned out. After spending a King's ransom on my latest Glock build, I've been staring at it thinking "Yeah it looks great but what does it do that my other dozen pistols don't?"

     

    ....oh and it's not like I even plink with those on a regular basis!

    1. Steveocee

      Steveocee

      Just stop with the lies. You already know you're lining up your next "want" which after a month or 2 will turn into a need which will then turn into a purchase on your CC.

    edit - I'm too fat and old for that slidey, divey stuff 😂

      Steveocee

      I regularly play CQB with players from 2 local Speedsoft teams. I like it, they provide a high standard of both team and opponent and they're extremely honest.

       

      You also don't need ot be running and sliding, you can post up at the back and provide cover. 

       

      May throw a spin on airsoft that you never knew you'd enjoy.

  24. If selling a gun, make an advert in the Classifieds. And re-read the rules.

      F that - sounds far too much like common sense.
