  1. Excitement at getting a shipping notification and not remembering what it was you orderedย ๐Ÿ˜Ž

    1. Philby21

      Philby21

      I was wondering why I hadn't had shipping notifications for a couple of things I'd ordered on AliExpress - then thought, oh yeah - China's in the news a bit right now!ย ๐Ÿ˜‚

      ย 

      Have you remembered yet?

      To be fair, my AliExpress orders came through no problems. This notification is from Skirmshop ๐Ÿ˜ˆ

      Ooohhh!ย  Sounds like something interesting then!ย ๐Ÿ˜

  2. Great run out yesterday. Using an M150 spring and medium SBA airbrake head set up for hopping 0.43's was making about 480 on 0.2's through the chrono (yeah I know but site dictated you chrono'd on 0.2s). Have dropped an order into skirmshop for a Rapax 2J spring though to get an easier bolt pull and hopefully combining that with the faceless 6.04 & rhop I will be able to use the long airbrake and still make about 2.2J. Only a few things left I want to get now. VMP for 1 and I'm thinking of a 16" outer with muzzlebrake and dtss barrel stabiliser (cheaper than a 420mm barrel)
  3. Nice one dude. I'm going to wait my time out until 17/2 then it'll be 2 months from ordering.
  4. My credit card spending has made me very remorseful this afternoon ๐Ÿ˜ž

      same, go to order a plugboard and end up getting a MAXX hop unit as well.

      tbf i was gonna buy one eventually anyway, at least that's what i'm telling myself to let me sleep at night.

      I mostly find myself panicking when ordering as I try to bundle as much as I can to save on postage and end up massively overspending even though I would buy the stuff eventually. Worse still is most places have 1 thing not the other in stock and vice versa from another seller so at that point I've talked myself into buying so why stop now?

      Only a small shopping list left now though.

      always the way, probably not actually saving that much but it's one of those things that feels like it makes sense.

  5. @Hedzshot maybe have a couple of games with it. Mine was a bit stiff at the end but 2 days use and it is effortless.
  6. You literally only need an M150 and they're awesome. Hope 16th goes better for you.
  7. Getting there, forgot to make out you're the victim but that's being picky lol
  8. Anyne going Anzio tomorrow and has an EFCS programmer?

  9. You realise you're supposed to disagree with a huge childish outburst right? Not be all sensible and understanding and reasonable?
  10. 3rd hand for ยฃ220 or brand new for just ยฃ20 more.
  11. HPA pistol for someone who dislikes CQB. Tell me I'm an idiot.

      If you went the HPA M4 mag adapted pistol route, I'm afraid we would have to report you for crimes against airsoft.

      Yeah on reflection I was tired and extremely bored lol

      it seems so, we'll let this little transgression slide this time but any more heretical thoughts you'll have to report to the ministry for cleansing.

  12. OMG The amoeba lives! 1 year in pieces and it is now better in one piece than it was before it was taken apart as a donor.

      Congrats man it has to be the most satisfying thing in the world, doing something you never thought you would be able to do๐Ÿ˜

    I'm astounded by those SHS springs! They look so flim-flam when you look at them in the packaging but installed it and with a fairly standard Ares AM-008 (only upgraded with a ZCI plastic rotary hopup from yourself) it's hitting 340 so consistently. I'll be one very happy boy if it beds itself down around 330.

    AK2M4

    Another massive thumbs up for @ak2m4 Small parts order placed Saturday AM was received Monday AM! Only small parts but good choice and not a rip off on postage like most others.
  15. Tonight I rebuild the AM-008. It will either work or it will be in the garden in pieces.

  16. Mk23 Vs SSX23 ?? However I already have an STTi which is a pile of a$$ but I have hadron & CJ parts for it.

    1. SuckMySock

      Upgrade the STTi, end result will be the same as SSX23

      Why would you pay over โ‚ฌ100 for what's essentially a blingy pile of shit?

      I have one and got extremely lucky, mine only had a shit outer barrel that got promptly replaced by Nov's CS with a slightly less shit one (still not aligned, but it's workable now). Again I got lucky with CS, others got told to fuck off.

      Doesn't even come with a suppressor.

      ย 

      ย 

      Get a genuine TM or another STTI, since you already have the important upgrades.

      Trust me.

      ย 

      P.S. the main selling point of the SSX, the SUPADUPA Alu slide, is off spec by a fucking nautical mile.

      It seems that some of the shite performance of my STTi may be that I'm using a Fang rather than a H-plate. am going to try that before I start obsessing over a sticky trigger and crap feeding mags.

      Thanks for the opinions though guys. I just wanted to throw money at it for a complete solution but I think I "know" the answer is to pour more love into the STTi.

  17. @proffrink Sorry to tag you again, did you manage to send those patches at all? Been 6 weeks since ordering ๐Ÿ‘
  18. Dammit I don't check the forum for maybe 6 hours and miss the most exciting thing to happen this week ๐Ÿ˜ž
  19. Nobody warned me how bad propane smelled ๐Ÿ˜

      You never smelled petrol?

      @Stoker love petrol smell. Propane was like acrid ass.

    4. RobHedley

      RobHedley

      Petrol is the greatest smell in the world..... especially when it has fuel additive in it!! Then again I have been sniffing that stuff most of my adult life so it may have had an effect!

  20. It did cross my mind, as did putting a couple of ribs out of electrical tape but the heat shrink is incredibly supple stuff. It's almost like heatshrink velvet because it's so thin.
  21. OK so thin wall heatshrink v1 didn't work, it turns out that its not got glue internally like the thicker stuff has so after a few bolt pulls it started sliding up the spring guide. Installation v2 is going to involve the use of a pritt stick.
  22. If it's been done professionally then I'd be tempted to offer up the standard 60% retail, even then that's being very generous. If it's an OP who says they've done it then 2 categories: Good paint job:- 60% of the price of the paint, time doing it is value added for the buyer. Bad paint job:- Negative value as the new owner will need to put it right
  23. Is this the bit where I get offended because you won't treat me as special as I think I should be treated?
