  1. Hey all. 

     

    How much would you appraise these two?

     

    The Xcortech is in good working order with some minor rubbing and scratches on the casing. 

     

    The ICS is an ex Transparant M4 with metal gearbox that people used to use for sleeper builds. It's been painted and appears to be bone stock otherwise. FPS is around the 310/315 mark. 

     

    Cheers!

    The RPD isnt broken, it probably just needs a new hop rubber. The AIMS is a standard AK one just with a folding stock and East German furniture, £150 is roughly what I was thinking

     

    It's broken to the potential buyer if it doesn't work properly. 

     

    Also, is the AIMS a Gen 2? If an essential or Gen 1 then that will also lower the value.

    I know they probably used stock photos but that's a v2 box. 🤣🤔.  

    Is yours a TM or cybergnu?

     

    Mines a TM. 

    Also there is a design flaw with the AEG Famas with the hop unit. It has a characteristic with bb's heavier then .25/.28 (Dependent on individual example) Where the BB will not travel in a straight line, but rather has a "Lobbing" characteristic. There is no known fix for this. The hop design was literally the first mass produced popular hop unit equipped Airsoft Rifle, so it does have intricacies! 

  4. Or you can just stop your worrying and buy a Prometheus for Fa-mas nozzle at Fire Support. Mine has one and works like a... nozzle!

    "do you know what nemesis means?"

     

    Yup. 

     

    So I bought an old TM famas off a chap on here as I love the famas and it's Lego esque looks. 

    I've worked on all my pews, v2, v3, v6 & v7 gearboxes and now I'm onto a v1.

    Now the guy I bought it from didn't touch it from the day he bought it 2nd hand, but someone has been in there as there was a few things different from the Oem TM spec.

    Got it all swinging pistons but the balls just fall about 8 feet away.

    New maple leaf+nub in the hop, barrel spotless but the nozzle is perplexing me. 

    The v1 TM box is an oddball with not many parts out there in internetland. 

    The nozzle is a 20.7 BUT has a 9mm base onto the tappet plate (which is huge! I'm going to measure it and see if I can 3d print a spare as this could be a show stopper if it breaks!😱).

    Now I'm sure there's some guys on here that have played with them before but am I screaming into a bucket here with this one?

    (No, I'm not going to hpa it 🤣🤣)

    Taaa.

     

    Pic, cos you know, lego. 😁

  5. It's well worth fixing the LCT RPD considering how much they cost new. Even if you get a professional to do it. Otherwise it will be boneyard price vs premium rare second hand price. 

     

    E&L Aims in abused condition, Maybe £140? Need pics. Also depends if its the short barrel no stock version, the short barrel stock version or the long barrel stock version.

    Which model, the Lynx? Do you use the gasket with it as well? Not the biggest fan of regular ballistic eye glasses. Had a close call a while back, not a pleasant experience. 

     

    I currently use the Bolle X1000 ballistic goggles with Revision wipes. I still get a load of condensation when camping, etc. When I'm on the move they are fine though. Someone suggested the Dye i5 to me but I'm not the biggest fan of paintball styled masks either. However, if it allows me to see!😂

     

    The reason why the Dyes might be better than the Bolle is the Dual Pane lens. Which goes some way to negate fog. Truth is if you are a sweaty bastard naturally there is very little you can do unless you keep moving, use anti fog or get some decent fan based goggles that are powerful enough.

    So, I went on my first skirmish last night, in almost 6 years! Also, first time at Z-Mart. Had a really good time, a bit sore but glad I made the last minute decision to go.

     

    As I hadn't used my gear in a long time, things have broken and need replacing now. Just wanting some advice on replacement parts and things I would like to add to my load out. 

     

    1. My Marui XL BB Loader broke, should I replace it with the same part or is there a better one available?

     

    2. My Marui Tracer Unit seems a bit dull compared to others that were being used on the night. Not sure if mine is on its way out or there are newer, better models available?

     

    3. Need a new sight, my 552 replica has died, thinking of going for a Reflex sight. What are the current good, durable brands? Is Aim a good one?

     

    4. Also, my soldering iron has died. It's an old Maplin one, any advice on a really good replacement that won't break the bank?

     

    5. Dye i5 masks, are there any issues with fogging up?

     

    6. Are there any tracer units available for my Marui PX4 pistol?

     

    My guns are: Marui HK416 rifle and Marui PX4 pistol.

     

    TIA

     

    2. Tracer Unit's are much brighter these days. Go with a new one. 

    5. Anything will fog up with someone determined enough, but it's probably a good choice. 

    6. The issue is finding a threaded barrel. Detonator made one but they are long discontinued and very expensive. Due to the rotating nature of the barrel it's not the greatest platform to run a silencer either. Use a different pistol. 

  8. Picked up a brand new Viper Plate Carrier Gen 2 Buckle up thing. To buckle up my Haley Copy chest rig in DNC. Chest rigs look tiny on me so felt this would be the best option and to keep it DNC and in budget. Managed to get the Plate Carrier for £50 brand new as well as some cheap Viper Soft plates for a new Tan Chest rig I got that came without as well as some neck warmers.

    And, possibly, if I would get a transit bus from France to kaliningrad( Russia) will there be any problems at the border? German and Poland?

    Germany certainly. They are very stringent. 

     

    Honestly it's not worth the hassle, you should sell them before leaving the country. You need to satisfy the laws of any country you travel to. 

  10. Hey all. 

     

    Trying to slim the collection down a bit more. 

     

    I have this Tokyo Marui Strike Warrior pistol. It is in used condition as you can see by the photos. The three mags are the TM M45A1 type with the better gas capacity then the stock MEU style ones. 

     

    Upgrades include:

     

    Laylax Nineball 74mm Inner Barrel.

    Maple Leaf Decepticon 50 Degree Bucking

    Maple Leaf I-Key Tensioner

    Guarder Steel Grip Safety. 

    All three mags have Laylax Inlet valves. 

     

    The Holster is a Fobus Belt style Light Bearing holster. 

     

    No idea how much it is worth, but it does work very well.

    Hi all,

     

    wondering if anyone can help in deciding which gun to buy- I am from the uk and want a pistol but unsure what to get.

     

    I had a PT Gamo 85 for a few days but it kept getting clogged, I went to a shop to get some advise and got told the Glock 7 gen 5 Pellet however some reviews were great.

     

    I'm looking for a gun which has the highest FPS allowed in the uk with the best possible accuracy- not sure what else I should be looking for. I'd appreciate if you guys with experience could advise, also could I possibly buy one from the US which falls in line with UK regulation and not pay much VAT?

     

    Thank you in advance!!

     

    You're asking about Air Pistol. This is an Airsoft forum. I would suggest going on an Airgun forum. 

  12. They won't be collectors items, they are a common model, still being made by Classic Army. The age might actually be considered a detriment due to plastic getting weaker over time. 

     

    The M4 will get minimal money, say £100? The Mp5 is about 230 new, so I would expect £120-130. There are simply better options out there now for not a lot of money with more modern features.

    I've stopped playing when I joined the French Foreign Legion in 2002.

    I'm still in the process of completing my loadout (which is 80% near completion) and although I do own a pimped up WE L85A2 GBBR, I'm getting rid of it at the minute and looking at getting another GBBR.

     


    NorthEast Airsoft are releasing a FAMAS soon. You need to get your F2 CCE and Brelage back out!

    Are these the same people that ran Sentinel?  Will definitely give the place a try, their Facebook page isn't exactly loaded with information though - like an address LOL.

     

    Shame they were being vandalised when trying to build the site.


    I believe it's the old Tech Brigade crew. I'll be visiting once I can badger a lift from someone.

    Couple of questions if you dont mind, as it's my first GBBR...

     

    • How do you adjust the hop on this....I'm guessing clockwise (as you look down the barrel) increases?
    • Given a reasonably full gas bottle, how long does it take to charge the 30 round mags?
    • Do they do slightly higher capacity mags?  Say 150 bbs rather than 30.
    • How compatible are WE spares - I've read about the pot metal used in these things 🤪.
    • How strong is the folding stock?  Would I be nuts to use it for a sling?

     

     

    As always,  tah in advance.

     

     

     

    Yup

    15 seconds? if it's a silent fill valve, you wont lose much gas if you overgas it anyway. 

    Nope

    Yes, practically the same rifle. 

    Eh, I never use that position on any G36 rifles. 

     

  16. Honestly, it's just not that desirable because of the name, proprietary parts like the Ares Mosfet (The mosfet itself is notoriously bad) and it's nothing special to look at.
