Thanks
 
Well that's pretty much all of my collection. Even the M4 looks like something completely different. 
 
This is the eventual outcome. 
 
 

I do like it when someone bucks the fashion and get somthing a bit different from all the clone M4/AK/evo that everyone has .👍

Finally got the longer outer barrel through from Hong Kong for the ARX160. Didn't realise the old short one was plastic and the new long one is proper heavy metal. Took the opportunity to install a new ZCI 400mm 6.02 inner barrel and Prommy purple bucking. The hop unit is very basic and doesn't use a traditional nub, but much like the G36 SRC unit it uses plastic/metal as a nub.
 
Cant wait to try it out! 
 

 

Silverback SRS 16” gen 3

EhobbyAsia sent me an email saying they couldnt provide the stock of some items. (5 G36 midcaps, 1 MP5 RDS, 1 AUG Highcap, 1 Guarder barrel)
 
So ordered
 
ZCI 407mm 6.02 barrel to go in my ARX160
Acetech Mosfet to go in the ARX160. 
 
Also ordered
 
Pistol retention strap
Guarder G36 Cylinder/piston set.
 
Just have to get the mags some other time and I can live without the RDS. 

I'd like to know how you get on with this as well. I am looking to do the same with my JG. 

This is long awaited for me. EBay have a 15% off voucher til midnight tonight so finally picked up this badboy.
 
 
 
Real Steel FAMAS full length scope Mount. It will need some dremelling to fit, I have never seen this particular rail mentioned in any English speaking Airsoft forums. A cool 140 quid direct from France. 

I just came.

Real sword svd is huge. Next to Mws mk12 (ish) for comparison 
 

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. 

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. 

Verrrrry interesting. If I can never get around to affording an SRS silverback then i'll have to consider this!

Quick update, stronger spring fitted and another 300ish shots yesterday and cylinder is still fine 

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.
 

reminds me of something ?😜
 
 

This is the only sniper rifle I have ever wanted. Damn would I be save up the moolah for one though. 😕

Hello all! 
 
I have a JG MP5SD6. Love the platform. The hop unit is something to be a bit miffed about! 
 
It's the MP5 type which is adjusted by a small lever at the top of the receiver. I love the idea behind it, however it seems fairly loose and whenever I fire, the recoil from the gearbox alone lowers the hop. 
 
Anybody else experience this? I am thinking maybe a washer or two on the mechanism to prevent it from moving, just wondering if there was a better or easier way? My mates JG MP5 does not have this problem despite being the same age (1 week old!) Unfortunately the MP5 seems to be one of the harder guns to take apart in my experience. Even getting to the hop unit and barrel means taking apart the receiver and removing the gearbox (Unless I am doing something wrong!)
 
Its a shame there is no true aftermarket replacement for this particular type of MP5 hop unit. 

Thanks for your help gents! 
 
I have found an official product that may fix the issue. Its called a Strike Chamber and it will tighten the arm up using a rubber O-Ring and plastic attachment. In addition it includes a modified hop arm that apparently gives better shot consistency. Hell even if it doesn't work I have to open up the gun anyway to put these parts in regardless. If I need to add an additional washer then so be it!

Unfortunately the shop was having a sale on other MP5 parts... Time to pimp this sucker out! More ramen to eat this month...

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.

I bought 9! (Between two people )

Clearly in order of usefulness there!

You're a hero, i bought a G&G TGM MP5 on black friday and was looking for mags! saved me a bomb!@Asmodias

Hey gents. 

I hate M4's but I jumped on this one last year as it was going cheap brand new at a local shop. (ICS CXP-15 Proline metal). It was a pistol style only M4 with no stock. I bought it to be upgraded straight away.
 
Prommy Tightbore barrel
Maple leaf flat hop. 
ICS Metal Hop unit. 
Short stroked piston. 
New spring. 
New ICS pistol grip (Old one broke during the upgrade process, the new style grip needed a lot of fettling and swearing from my tech to go on)
Mosfet. 
ICS QRS Stock
SRU foregrip
Holo sight. 
Canted Ironsights (Because they look kickass.)
 
Managed to blow the fuse first game as it was the one for 7.4 lipos, need to get the 30A. Also the ICS high caps weren't feeding fast enough in full auto so had to use my Nuprol midcaps. 
 
I also have the Mag short midcaps, which looks better do you think? If I am to use the Mag short midcaps i'll need to get a stronger spring for them to feed well. 
 
For an M4 it looks alright... I guess...
