Yes I am wrong on it not coming new. The rest of my statement is true, beauty in the eye of the beholder and all that 😂
-
I doubt they ever came with a skin on like that. Most likely someones attempt to cover up a 2 tone in the first place. It's not something which adds value to be fair, it just reduces the amount of people who'd buy it as it's a bit garish to 50% of the population. Stuff like paint job etc really aren't anything that add value, just a bonus if the buyer can look at it without vomiting.

Hello, I appreciate you may have some stock flow issues ATM but do you know when you'll be getting some more suppressors in? Really trying to get my hands on something 200mm long with a diameter 30-34mm?

Lol realised what that could imply 😐 neither you guys @Rogerborg or @Sitting Duck able to help out then? 😉

Past 3 AliExpress orders are unmoved for 3 weeks 😞 not looking good chaps.

Ordered a couple of bits from two different AliExpress sellers on the 28th of January, one dispatched pretty quickly and arrived on the 18th of February. Notification that the other has been dispatched received two days ago. Seems like some stuff is moving but it's very hit and miss.
Personally speaking, as long as it's not a return of bubonic plague (death toll 70-200 million) or Spanish flu (death toll 40-50 million) then I'm not too concerned. The "regular" flu virus kills 300,000-500,000 people a year (source), current global death toll appears to be around 2,800 out of 82,000 reported cases (source), a mortality rate of 3.4%, this obviously does not take into account unreported cases of those people who felt a bit unwell for a couple of weeks, didn't bother seeing a doctor and recovered without an issue, resulting in figures giving more weight to the death toll.
Context is a wonderful thing but doesn't sell newspapers. Either that or I've just become overly cynical following year after year after year of the latest "panic".

Deans connectors ordered. How badly can I screw this up?

Great advice from @Rogerborg I learnt this the hard way
-
And queue a fantastic video pop up in my YT subscription feed from @Armourpiercing. Impeccable timing dude.
-
yeah I saw that with connector set & vice etc...
saw that this morning - nice dsg vid too
I was thinking of buying a Titan on my wish list with Seigetek etc...
After watching the vid I am even more determined to
NOT buy a Titan
Good vid, amazing build - heck 7.4v would have done
but as Luke said he did it to prove a point
not he can't build it, but chooses NOT to build wanker guns
-
Quick share, GSPEC mode activated. Using a new FAST hop with SBA 60 flat hop and a ZCI 380mm stainless @ak2m4 barrel, it does protrude into the suppressor a bit but wow does it feel more agile.
-
I'll hold my hand up and say that firstly it was me who flagged up the ad, no salt is given, it's not us who won't sell a £130 pistol for £700. "Not jumping to conclusions without knowing anything", it's your sales ad, maybe you could have put more information in so personal conclusions weren't needed? I have never heard about tuning for accuracy on a gun, what is there you can actually affect other than the hop up? I appreciate you have gone to extensive lengths on the Capa but really do think you're going to struggle selling as a complete piece for the money you are doing. May have a lot more luck taking your time and splitting it down and the parts off and then the pistol in it's stock format. Yes you're leaving the sport and undoubtedly want a quick and easy out but I'm 99% certain you won't get that with what you're doing.
-
Also has an advert for a VFC Avalon that has barely been used but hasn't missed a beat. Wouldn't expect it to if it hasn't been used that much.....
-
OK so I'm not saying this is a "super-mega-ripoff-OMG" but surely something which is as custom as this is done to an individual taste so finding someone to buy it in the first place would be like a needle in a haystack but then for this amount of money? I appreciate the parts list is extensive but it still is marked as needing "accuracy tuning" 😐 If you were at the level where you'd be spending that much on a Hi-Capa wouldn't you likely want to be building your own anyway?
-
Another order dropped in to AK2M4. Continual great service and honest pricing comes far above most other things. Had an awesome day with the "backup" yesterday so decided to treat it to a couple of small upgrades.
-
Thought I'd sorted this but struck down at the start of the day, been chrono'ing fine, getting 2.2J but then when I tried to hop BB's (don't have a field to set up before hand). Either they were falling desperately short or jamming completely. Combination was the SBA 60 rubber along with the Tigra nub. So..... Will strip it and wait for RHop stuff to arrive and use the FOW nub and..... Ordered a G-Spec kit and extra FAST unit to use with a spare barrel I have to build up as a "hot swap" using the included SBA bucking and nub. Will likely order a PDI 6.05 in time for it but meh, that'll be once the credit card is cleared (again).
-
Identical experiences then. Does imply nub problem. I'm looking forward to the FOW arriving then.
-
Same, I went for a 60. I thought about buying a 70 but instead I've ordered an SBA 60 & 70 for spares as I'm having a tantrum at faceless lol Just head a brainfart moment. What nub did you use? The FOW wasn't in stock when I ordered so I went with a Stalker Tigra. I'm wondering if the pressure point was to long down the barrel as the FOW is more of a "thin" line across rather then a "pad" of pressure. I'm wondering if the Tigra applied pressure to close to the edges causing the rip. **May have just ordered a 60, 70 and FOW as well**
-
Not impressed with the R-Hop patch 😡 It seems to have torn after 2 mags through it! Has been removed and a SBA rubber put in with the Faceless barrel to see if that fairs up any better. Can't say I felt any sharp edges on the window.
-
R-Hop porn anyone?

Just caved and bought a VMP for the SRS. Strangely going for a tighter barrel yielded an FPS loss. That or the hop is set to far on. Either way, shiny stuff yeah? -
Quick! Someone go make an airsoft site out of it https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-8011865/Ghost-ship-washed-Irish-coast-Storm-Dennis-drifting-thousands-miles.html

Points for namesake though. Must be a massive pair to price that ambitiously lol.

Do you have the original TM parts? Are they included? -
Results of said Rapax spring testing! So firstly let me pre-requisite, yes I know my J are a little warm for the UK, this will be resolved once the new barrel goes in along with a longer airbrake to bring them back under control. The gun is stored without a spring so no it's not a firearm sitting there. My testing 0.2's are a mixed bag, it does look like there was an inconsistency. All shots fired on a 20" Sport with FAST hop set for 0.43s on it's last outing with SBA 60° bucking and a SBA airbrake piston head with medium brake inserted. Silverback M150 using 0.2 in fps 470 475.9 476.1 437.5 475 Silverback M150 using 0.43 in fps 348.4 347.9 347.5 346 345.6 Rapax 2J using 0.2 in fps 479.9 476.9 477.2 441.7 476.5 Rapax 2J using 0.43 in fps 345.7 345.4 347.8 348.3 350.1 Other points to mention So in a one after the other test I was wrong with my previous statement, the Rapax does feel a bit easier to pull than the SBA M150. The Silverback spring has had 2 game days (read 1000) bolt pulls so is likely better bedded in than the brand new Rapax. There was no spring twang!
-
So far the Rapax 2J spring feels just as difficult if not slightly more to pull than the SBA M150. Maybe because it's new? Haven't chrono'd it yet but will do to see a comparison on J. The way it "feels" I'm expecting it to be warmer than the SBA M150.
-
Second play with camo pens. Quite happy with the result.

@L3wisD It does, even if you prep really well (lots-o-sanding) the final outcome is very textured as you're applying relatively thick amounts with a sponge. On RIFs I see it as a good thing as it's quite grippy and matt. I guess you could sand it back and lacquer if you wanted smooth but then it'd be glossy?

@Cromulon1994 is it the v2 hater? May I ask where you bought it from as I've been trying to avoid finding them in stock for a while due to temptation lol.
