I'd probably go with the grub screw having said that could you put a bit of PTFE tape on the thread of the one you have now so its harder to turn?

@clumpyedge Yeah I will try some PFTE first, though I will probably go with an M4 Grub screw as I carry an Allen key with me at all times whilst skirmishing anyway (If my DMR locks up on semi I have a hole in the side of the receiver so I can poke something in and catch the cut off lever.)

In fairness once set you shouldn't need too much messing about in the field 

Amazing ! Me thinks there’s a very good chance the possibility of being named and shamed on a forum for the quite exclusive market they work in has had a positive effect for you ? 

@Druid799 I actually believe its a coincidence. I sent them an email asking for an update before I posted the rant. I think the Email itself gave the impetuous to complete the work rather then the off chance of them seeing that post. 

Having said that, this particular retailer had me waiting less then others and responded to email enquiries fairly promptly. 

And having read elsewhere I now know who it was ! 😉

have to say of recent I have heard a few negatives about there services being not as good as it used to be , shame really as they used to have such a good rep and if I did need to buy in the U.K. they were always my first port of call .

I might be if invited. I could use a break from sorting this site out

Got a site in mind?

At the moment I am looking at Airsoft Billericay as I can get to it fairly easy on Public Transport and they have spaces. 

Nice long distance site with lots of cover. 

I have been looking at other sites that still have spaces which I can get to the closest main railway station, but would need to rely on Uber (If one is around early Sunday) Or a lift. 

Dogtag near Gatwick, Dragons Lair near Ongar, Incursion Dorking (Has very limited spaces left), Gunman Eversley is available both Saturday and Sunday. AWA Herts and Doomsday in Swanley are also open. 

Whichever we choose we need to jump on it!

no room for a bit of fettling to get it to fit? in the truest of ak fashions

It wouldn't fit well enough to satisfy me. 

The Stock tube on the Cyma/LCT one is 20mm where as the E&L stocks are 26mm. So it would have to be shimmed to a ridiculous amount, The holes would have to be drilled out to accommodate Real Steel pins. 

I'd rather sell and get an E&L one ordered. I am in no hurry. 

fair enough, i'm just suffering from a lack of any repros of the pt5 so i'm stuck either going RS or getting a whole other gun.....

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. 

I’d get on to the makers and play bollox with them ! ask for either a replacement gun or the new part at the least .

Get the newer part. That cheap plastic isn't made to put up with the abuse these guns give.

Any L/XL real helmet should do the job.  If you're after a chinese knock off you're pretty much out of luck. 

See if you can find any one with one of the airframe knock offs you could try on ,my boy has a ridiculously huge melon and it fits him ok .👍

I got the L/XL "Ops Core Tan Sand DE SWAT Tactical Maritime ABS Helmet" from HWAirsoft and it fits me fine, has more padding to stick in it if you need a tighter fit too as well as the dial to tighten it up. I've got all the padding in and near enough tightest setting and I'd have said my head is pretty big so I reckon that'll sort you out!

That is one thorough review, it's not a gun i'd ever be interested in, all those bespoke parts - ew! but I'd definitely watch further reviews.

IS THAT JAMES MAY???

@AK47frizzle  I get that all the time. I am from Bristol as well 😕

Well bollox ! 😢 I’ve had a couple of European mail orders go a bit pear shaped past couple of mths BUT all my HK orders have absolutely rocked through , much quicker than normal ! 😳 what the fornication is going on ?!?!?! 
AND first one who says “oh it’s because of Covid !” I will find out where you live and I will end your life via the application of blunt force trauma with a frozen cucumber 🥒 (so I can eat the murder weapon, gets rid of the evidence😉) savvy ?

Did their delivery time out? I know they send dispatch info before they've actually dispatched it.

Just ordered a few bits from them myself, here's hoping their shipping isnt too bad

Think its because of Covid like @Druid799said.😶

PM your address and I’ll post it . If its of use to you just mail back the M4 one

Much appreciated mate! I have pmed you. 

And please pray tell whom is th UK distributor  ?

as I haven’t the foggiest!

IWholesale @Druid799

My 2020 'soft season ended in September unfortunately

Worst year ever

@Skara Honestly I am surprised at how many skirmishes I managed to go to despite lockdown.

So you FINALLY got to visit  

Yeah! I did enjoy myself

Where was this?

@Dino All revealed in my review

@Druid799 Any private games on Saturday the 30th around Bristol? Maybe Friday the 29th in the evening?

Sorry bud not that I’ve heard off 😢 

Would probably be better than the posts saying "I've just bought X costing X, is it any good?"

No need , just buy it and if it’s crap keep your regrets to your self say how utterly awesome it is ! AND then try and dump it on an unsuspecting noob for three times what you paid for it ! 😈

😂😂😂😂😂😂

sure you're not going to regret selling any?

@strykerles

Quite possibly. But they are just bits of metal after all. 

I have turned over a new more fiscal leaf and value paying off my credit card more then the rifles. Hence the competitive prices! 

I do like my AK's these days and having so many rifles and not enough time to use any of them is just... depressing. 

Great news!

Good stuff, at least you now know whats happening!!

Try ringing Endicotts. They have always been good to me

Sainsbury's 😎

Camo shorts & Tan t-shirt.

Sorted!

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

@MandalShArK Apologies. I meant Fawkham! 

fuck a sig552 looks decent

I was looking at dropping on of these into my srs. How are you finding the motor? You got it from Ak2M4? 

The motors seems solid enough. Be wary though, the screws that keep the armature in the can had a very long head and I had to dremel into my CYMA P90 gearbox to get the motor to sit low enough. 

Its not easy to replace the screws either because its partially threaded and longer then most I have seen. 

This is a torque motor, so great trigger response, but slow rate of fire.

And yes I got it from there.

@skintrade Thanks for that. 

I tried the DTD adapter with some known high speed mags and still only getting 5 shot. DTD are sorting me out with a polished Mag Adapter for me to try! Kudos to them!

maybe a wide bore barrel?

I may need to go that route. I could cut down my current 400mm barrel, but I had matched it with a 4/5 Cylinder. We'll see how the spring change will do. 

I would prefer something more efficient then anything and wide bores go against all of that IMO

I'm goin! i'll be rockin' my AFUK patch say hi

@CiderPunk awesome! On the underground heading there now. Rocking the tricked out FAMAS.
