DOH

Really they opened the parcel!! What the hell is wrong with people, greed.  She no doubt thought "hey free shit" then realised you knew exactly where it was.  You should have reminded her it's illegal to open post that isn't addressed to you

@ak2m4 No Harm this time around. I try not to make enemies of neighbours and I doubt she'll try again. 

Probably thought WTF is this stuff and best to give it to you. If it had been something normal you likely never would have seen them. 

I bought a RIF once and the seller put the wrong house number on the package, luckily they were not in and it went to the collection office and I managed to get to it before they did. I can only imagine their faces if it had got to them and they opened it   They wouldnt have known who it was for either so I got very lucky. But I still laugh at some little old lady opening up an M4.

An E&L for 210? Please do share, I want an AK too.

@Asomodai 👋

I have to E&L AK’s 1st Gen, I believe, got them both 2nd hand!  
AKM

AKS-74U

This is what I bought and used for my AKM, check the pic, mine plays up from time to time, but still works and with other AK models! 👍

(Works in my DBoy AKMS/ CYMA RPK.... must try it in AKS-74U?)! 🤔

Also used a drum mag, but not so much! 🤔

Hope this helps? 😎👍

💷GAMBLE💷

Yeh but GBBR >>>>>>>>> AEG

So you FINALLY got to visit  

Yeah! I did enjoy myself

MPA at Hockley are having a boot fair, might be some bargains 🤷🏼‍♂️

Ta mate

 Bit of a nightmare getting there due to the train closures though! 😞

Ahh bugger yeah

I had something very similar recently with my G18C, needed just a touch of lube around the loading nozzle and return spring and a bit of "movement" to settle it in. Maybe worth a try. I hadn't lubed/maintained my G18 for a year prior to this.

Foam filled "suppressors" do reduce the sound. The air that comes out makes a noise and masking that helps a bit. If you fire your empty gun with and without holding your finger over the barrel, i'm sure you'll be able to tell.

oil filter is supposed to work on actual firearms

so on that basis if anything is REALLY going to work

it will be one of those bastards

(google oil filter suppressor)

most suppressors just change or slightly dampen the sound

they are like farts, some are more quiet than others

and love is like a fart...

if you try to force it too much - it will probably be shit

you could a piston brake or silicone pad over sorbo can lower the piston slap...

https://www.airsoftsniperforum.com/43-longrange-aegs/9062-guide-cylinder-head-damper-remold-bye-bye-sorbo.html

 often wondered about all those baffles/padding etc...

but it must work of a sort coz going the other way...

Don't buy a daft sound hog or FireHawk tip to become a loud annoying player on the field...

Just cover/tape up a M4/M16 flash hider to make a massive CRACK for no costs at all

So in theory going the other way some sort of "venting" or "slots" as well as the dampening material inside should perhaps dissipate the dulled sound ???

NB: this is just a theory based upon the M4 CRACK you get if you cover the flash hider

(try it - really makes a loud crack)

So if an enclosed hider amplifies then maybe - just maybe a vented sponge might just might be a little more effective too perhaps

Dunno - but I did wonder about all this crap coz most of it just changes the sound of the air, yet most of us still have grindy AEG's making the most sound

The padding deffo does "something" though

if you unscrew one them cw/ccw suppressors, pull out the spring/padding

it makes a friggin' amplified CRACK too...

just wondered if a cheapo slotted or swiss cheesed one would maybe be more effective ???

ignore almost all of this coz I'm just talking crap coz I'm bored atm

You want to dampen the sound?

Unless you have an airbrake I suggest to glue/pressure fit a rubber door stop onto the cylinder head, so that it dampens the impact of the piston head. An alternative would be to use a big fat o-ring in place of the door stop.

Did it on my Striker and it killed the sound so much I can easily run without a suppressor and still be quiet as hell.

On a suppressor there are a few things you can do.

Scotchbrite disks in place of foam and plastic/rubber baffles.

A fart flap helps a lot in lowering the sound but it needs to be done right otherwise it'll just throw your shots way off.

Also, something that most 'softers don't care about is a correct volume ratio for the bb weight.

@Druid799 usually plays portishead from memory or I'm making that up

I don't know about in a vsr, but I run one in my SRS and it's awesome 😄

They are great if your gun is overvolumed, otherwise I wouldn't bother.

I mean, the whole concept of the CJ revolves around using that extra air to create a cushion + stabilize the bb at the end.

Does fuck all if you don't have extra air to spare tho :P

@Skara Mine is slightly overvolumed at the moment. So it could be useful. 

My issue is that I cannot find another decent barrel which is close to 505mm long without cutting one down. I would rather not do that on a precision sniper barrel which relies on good workmanship to get the best out of it. 

There's another site in faversham?... i thought it was just Imperium and the orchard near Tynham?

@MandalShArK Apologies. I meant Fawkham! 

@DrAlexanderTobacco Ah, nice.  I forgot he had an online shop too.

i wouldn't worry too much about the purists, you get them in every area. just get a setup you like and enjoy the comfort russian equipment provides.

also if you get a smersh be prepared to have all your other rigs go obsolete

Adolf speaks the truth, I love my SMERSH and use it for everything.  I also really rate my  SSOJaeger chest rig.  

A gorka, with a SMERSH is pretty much all you need.

Great review as always 👍

I'm already at South Coast CQB! Would have come along if not as I haven't been there before!

You, superb guns, just a shame I can’t get on with them

Well, RDB, it's cos it's not a Glock 😂(yeah, yeah, FNX45. That's the just exception that proves the rule 😉 ) 

On the other hand, mine had an issue firing in the cold!! Great gun though.

Lies! I have 4 nippers and a 5th due at the end of Feb. Am already planning NvS in May!

Sorry to hear about your battlebuddy throwing in the towel though, I appreciate sometimes airsoft is also about the social aspect rather than the "shoot fools" aspect.

Have really enjoyed reading your site reviews.

@Steveocee Thanks for the kind words. 

It will be mine and missus first and I dont want to miss the first year at least. She has a dim view of Airsoft as it is! We had a long talk about it and this was the best compromise that we could come up with

For him its his Arthritis, its gotten so much worse in the past 6 months and has only played twice in that period. I have arthritis as well, but I am managing it better for the moment. 

Sorry to hear that @Asomodai...... the reviews winding up that is not the Child 🙁Congratulations on that one.

I always enjoyed reading your reviews as they were balanced and honest without being nasty. Top work so far and I look forwards to reading more when a) Your nipper is a year old and b) you have passed your driving test. 👍

@Asomodai I’ll be doing the same bud planning on getting to Watford for around 7:30

How was Mayhem?

@Zoli Please be mindful that Mayhem in Essex is a different site to Mayhem South East in Kent. 

Hmm. I may need to hold off then. I cant justify 230 quid right now on something that's not a bullpup 100 quid for the JG AMD-65 is really tempting mind! I believe that its mostly steel apart from the bits that matter! (The stock)

i'm looking at one of these atm: https://www.taiwangun.com/en/electric/ak-carbine-at-ak04-arcturus same factory as E&L. though, i'll be changing out the gearbox because their ones don't allow the fitment of a gate titan

Don't get a Trevor. Buy a PDR-C from me so I can buy @Davegolfs KWA vector 😎

im up for reforger on the first can grap you from the station also if needed

@poachers if the underground plays ball on the weekend then I would love to take you up on the offer. What is your play style? See if we go tag team on some players.

If/when I get down to Plantation in the New Year more than willing to come pick you up mate

Screw you guys! Weather looks marginally better 😉

Enjoy
