  1. 🎄 Merry Christmas to Me!!! Patch order made.
  2. I'm a pain for wanting stuff to "just fit" and I'm trying to find ways around modifying things. Am wondering how well a PDI 6.05 would fair up with a PDI W hold 70 shore rubber.
  3. Is that using the VSR fitment bucking and barrel?
  4. They are quieter and even more so if you match BB weight to barrel to piston volume. The DTSS silencer really kills the noise. If you want it totally silent then you can get the WASP or variable mass piston. In my irrational mind though, the piston is a meh point as generally out of MED you wouldn't hear it anyway. I've managed to find a company in Japan doing PDI barrels for about half the UK RRP of them so once I've done homework to make sure they are R-Hopable or at least compatible with good rubbers I'll be ordering one. A sniper is about precision, why not make sure there is a "good" barrel in even though a lot I read says the stock barrel is fine.
  5. It likely won't shoot much different to the VSR. It'll be more manoeuvreable and a lot quieter. Just buy it.
  6. There are a few coming out soon but my worry is they won't be "universal" and will some how force you to use that companies buckings and nubs etc. Other than a slightly tighter fit around their own buckings, I can't see how the designs or performance would be much if any improved on the factory design (or FAST hop).
  7. 🤷‍♂️ Accidentally bought a load of digital woodland kit. Started looking at flecktarn and got carried away.

  8. Just bought an ofcom license for our teams radios. Can't wait to look down my nose at the pmr446 peasants 😂
  9. Bought a fresh roll of PTFE today just in case. Faceless store is shut until after Xmas but FOW is on my list as well as a pdi barrel and rhop patch.
  10. 2hrs on my Mk23 last night. I have a brass screw in each mag and a non sticky trigger to show for it.

      What did you do?

       

      Haven't had that issue yet on my novyboiiii23, but I haven't actually used it that much.

      The follower is really difficult to hold back so filed down the moulded plastic and then popped a small brass screw in each. Also took a bit more off the feed lips as the trigger was a bit sticky. 

      If I hold the mag whilst shooting it jams a bit now but otherwise it's fine.

  11. Amazing day of pew-pew at NPF today, haven't enjoyed airsoft like that for a long time!

      I wish I could say the same.

      My ARP kept misfeeding like crazy and on one occasion I snapped and magdumped a new guy who thought it was cool to not call his hits.

      I did get some ridiculous long range kills with the mk23 though.

    2. Steveocee

      Mk23 is the perfect all rounder!

      Non-hit takers just need a couple more rounds than normal, nothing wrong with making sure with half a mag lol

    3. Skara

      Skara

      He wasn't happy because half a drum mag is still 800 bbs :P

       

      also yeah, mk23 is love.

      I'm thinking of getting a second one and build a carbine out of it!

  12. Bag packed for NPF tomorrow! Lets go!!!!!

  13. Mk23 fettling today. Try to get the mags sorted so it can be fielded tomorrow.

  14. Any chance you'd do the holster for £25 all in fees and delivered?
  15. Mine arrived a couple of days ago but the Mrs is playing hardball and won't let me have it until Christmas day. Gone for a 20" in OD with some extra's: .338 DTSS Suppressor FAST hop 3 extra mags Couple of Silverback pouches to hold mags M150 spring First thing I do when I get it will be install FAST hop with new rubber and nub and PTFE it on to make double sure I get a good seal and clean the inner barrel out. Then field it from there and see what bits I want to swap or improve. Have a half a bag of 0.48 Geoffs although I have just bought a bag of my preferred 0.43's and have a Swiss Arms 3-9x50 scope to add on. On my "maybe soon" list I've got a prowler or FOW nub (not sure if I should upgrade bucking as well?) and the airbrake piston head with M160 spring.
  16. P&P really makes me cry 😥. I am so used to free postage or Prime delivery that I find myself not ordering at times due to postage prices on small parts.

      High shipped prices... I'm hardly surprised.  So much fraud has been going on fueled by the rise of eBay that stores are unwilling to use cheaper / untracked services.  

    3. Steveocee

      Steveocee

      @ak2m4 To be fair you're probably one of the exceptions. Your postage prices are fair and advertised upfront. 😎

      That is exactly why I went for the SSX23 instead of building one myself :(

       

      Sourcing all the different parts is a bitch when postage alone is more expensive than the part -.-

  17. Worth trying to shim under the hop arm? I'm not 100% on the shape of them but can you cut anything to go under it to put more force onto the BB? If that doesn't work then it's almost certainly the arm is stressed and needing replacement.
  18. What gas are you using? It's been pretty cold lately, if using 144a or old/rubbish green then it may not be generating enough power to take advantage of the hop.
  19. Who's good for combats for short people? I need 30" inside leg but all the "good" stuff comes in 32".

      It's a flesh..... no. Gone for an SRS as I'm bored of the VSR platform.

    3. Skara

      Should have gone for a fleshlight then.

      Steveocee

      The one I have is only a year old with minimal use lol

  21. 500FPS(w/0.2's), 60° Autobot & Geoffs 0.48's are my new cocktail for mega range!

      What's the rif?

    3. Steveocee

      Steveocee

      Nothing exciting I'm afraid. VSR10

    4. sonofsammo

      sonofsammo

      Any sniper rifle that shoots like that is exciting 😉 
       

  22. Trying a new site today. Wish me luck.

  23. Had similar myself, turned out my email went into their spam. Once they realised totally apologetic and nailed my query. Tried logging in to your account and raising a ticket?
  24. Hi Capa 4.3 mags in a 5.1 are the best thing I've ever seen!

    1. Steveocee

      Steveocee

      Looks a much better fit.

  25. I was going to retire the GM after this weekend but managed to lose a mag so have ordered 2 more, guess she's got a few more games to make use of the mags.
