    I can bodge it if I accidently break the feed tube. I got a supplier for a spare hop unit if needs be as well!

    The ARX160 has arrived. Seriously has the worst feeling ABS plastic (Similar to my TM Famas). Feels flimsy. But the plus side is that it is incredibly lightweight for the size which is more important to me. Everything else seems fairly solid. Decent high torque motor, good sounding gearbox, Hop unit seems flimsy but have worked out how to release the barrel and hop unit with just one external switch. 5 minute hop bucking change is pretty easy with this! Haven't fired it beyond dry firing but seems fine otherwise! Worth the 105 quid considering how unique it is. I just wish they did the Elite version in Tan! If you want the best rifle for your money and don't care about being unique, go for a JG G36. @Skara Edit: The Hi cap mag it came with broke within 2 shots. My ICS Hi cap then broke straight after, which was random, fixed it and all works fine now. It wont fit PTS style midcaps. Chronos at 318 with the hop on with a 6 +/- Variance and 328 with hop Off with 6+/- Variance.

    I couldn't be bothered to return it if it arrived faulty. It'll get gutted and upgraded before I play with it anyway . I should receive it on Thursday! Did the cylinder get knackered?

    Verrrrry interesting. If I can never get around to affording an SRS silverback then i'll have to consider this!
  5. Asomodai
    No reason to be metal as its a NBB.

    They are different parts of the law I believe. To buy a RIF you need to acquire a defense. To prove you are an Airsofter you can get a UKARA number which you get playing Airsoft over a certain period of time. Another defense is for use in Cosplay and you can get Cosplay insurance (Though this is far less used by shops). In short, rightly or wrongly Real guns and Airsoft guns are treated very differently. You cannot use your firearms license.

    I will take note of that! Its a somewhat awkward gun because of the proprietary hop unit, the extra long air nozzle and that the mags fall out when you adjust the hop unit! Should receive it after the new year. I picked it up for 105 euros at SoftAir Games.

    Had been looking at finishing up my fishy trio. Managed to pick up an Italian classic. The ARX 160. Really wanted it in Tan so had to plump for the cheaper sports line model. So that's the F2000 boat, XM8 Tactical Tuna and the ARX side of Salmon. Snagged it for only 120 quid including shipping from Italy. Thinking of ordering the long barrel for it.
  10. Asomodai

    Soooo. S&T ARX160, Anyone got one? Opinions? Upgrade path? Thinking of getting the sportsline as I dont want the EBB and would be gutting it anyway. Want to complete the unholy triumvirate of Fish guns.

      It's just a standard m4 with a fancy shell

    Love the look of these. Airsoftcam man did a days skirmish with one on his latest video, however the cylinder (Not sure if its the right terminology, know nothing about bolt action) was made of cheese and had to replace it as it became very loose and hard to pull the bolt. Have you experienced this?
  12. Asomodai
    Scant days later I just splurged again, but not on an inner barrel, tappet plate or mosfet. Decided to go the whole hog and double down on my temperamental SL8 DMR. Gonna take it to a tech who has a long range to test things out. For JG SL8 DMR SHS Bore Up one piece Cylinder/head SHS Piston Head (6 Vent Alu) SHS Spring guide V3 ZCI Advanced 13:1 gear set. And for my JG MP5 SHS Spring guide V2 ZCI Gear delayer (Probably wont need it, but thought it useful for my parts drawer.) For my ICS L85 SLD Neo High Torque motor (Already have one ready to go in the SL8)

    AK2M4

    Asomodai replied to Philby21's topic in Places to Buy

    Picked up some more bits and pieces. AK2M4 gave some great advice before purchase as well.

    Ebay currently has 10% off deal for the day and it applies to the real steel FAMAS top rail. It's still £145 that I don't have, but I have been eyeing it for almost a year now. It will need some fettling to get it on either of my FAMAS but I have the kit needed to do it. Got til midnight to decide! https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Rail-p-g-m-famas-professionnel-militaire-armée/141934353042?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&_trksid=p2060353.m1438.l2649

    I am after a reliable tech in or around East London/Essex who can work on a couple of G36 based RIFs and has access to a long distance range to test them.

    As I am restricted to public transport they would need to be fairly close to a train station or well served bus!

    Stock its actually a fantastic gun bar the loose hop unit arm, I needed to buy the P90 mags and the Hop strike chamber so might as well add some more bits to make it worthwhile importing ?
  17. Asomodai
    Coming from Hong Kong mate and I have a p90 to gut and upgrade before then!

    Terrible forum suggestion no 1:  Create a stickied thread for people to post regarding "I could buy this airsoft related product, but I dont know if I should. Convince me" 

    Eyeing up the WE CT25 mini pistol...

      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 ! ?

    Bought a bunch of parts for my MP5 from EHobbyAsia First Factory Strike Chamber for Marui MP5 Series Guarder Cylinder Enhancement Set for TM MP5 (Piston, Cylinder, Piston Head and Cylinder Head) UFC CNC Aluminium Air Nozzle for MP5 AND a Guarder Air Nozzle for MP5 (See which one has the better seal) G&P Polyamid Low Resistance Selector Plate for MP5 First Factory Quick Release Mag Catch for MP5 Tokyo Marui Low profile Mount Base (scope) for MP5 And lastly, 4X170 Round MAG P90 Midcaps. I am bloody insane and very poor. I should probably buy an inner barrel, better tappet plate and a mosfet whilst I am at it

    Had an excellent game of airsoft today at a new site. Can't wait to write the review!  Definitely in the top 3 for me!

      Gutted I missed it. I was booked in with another 2 guys but we had to bail as my mates sister was taken into hospital seriously ill. Glad it was good and looking forward to the review

  22. Asomodai
    Clearly in order of usefulness there!
  23. Asomodai
    With all the MP5 love the forum has been exuding I think this is an excellent purchase. 200 Round GSG (Cyma High Cap) MP5 mags. £5 each brand new from action hobbies. They fit perfectly in my new JG MP5. Appears to feed well. http://www.actionhobbies.co.uk/GSG-Magazine-For-MP5-200rd_A22K3O.aspx?nh=281823#.W_1MohP7TBI I bought 9! (Between two people )

    *Looks like my post got dragged in with the discussion thread. Will repost in the actual thread!

     Just changed my first motor, So easy! Switched my JG MP5's stock motor out with a TM EG1000. Huge difference in magnetism between the two. Results in a much better trigger response with the TM though slightly slower ROF. Much quieter as well as it doesn't have to struggle. Think I am really in love with this cheap as chips gun! 

    Later on tonight i'll change the barrel to a stock ICS one, install Deans so I can use Lipos to claw back some ROF.

      I love my JG MP5 bought it second hand off a friend who is a very good AEG tech, it runs 345 ish fps and is stupidly accurate. Cheapest gun I own and the one I use the most

      They certainly aren't bad! Why we started stocking the higher end JG stuff, have been running a JG ak and havent had a change to stress test an MP5 apart from running stupid amount of BB's through one, hows it going on game days?

    3. Nick G

      Bloody great ! I get an occasional feed issue with the standard hicaps but I usually run with one of those 'double' mags which looks cool and never has any feed issues. That and a bag of BB's sees me through most games.  Its stupidly accurate and matches any other AEG on our woodland site for range. I seriously can't fault it and am tempted to pick up the non suppressed version just for the 'standard' look. Here is mine
