I prefer the thought of dropping a Dynatex TIMED grenade through a window with the certainty that it'll go off 😉

Its only fair that you give them the chance to rectify it and its a good sign if they'll do it with no extra fees. But definitely test it before you leave 😉

If you go back they'll have to refund a certain amount for your time and trouble but I can't believe you didn't test it there when you picked it up.

I hope its not you in your profile pic... That's the worst case of 'chicken wing' I've ever seen 😄

Aim at a point and see where the BB goes. Adjust the windage setting (Left-Right adjuster) in one direction then take a few more shots and see if the BB is going closer to the aim point. If it is then keep adjusting until its good. If it gets worse then adjust the other way. You can use anything that will fit in the barrel without scraping on the inside. It should have a way to attach a bit of cloth to the end. You do NOT want to push the cloth all the way through. If you can attach a bit of cloth to the end ideally with a bit of Isopropyl alcohol on it then twist as you push it through the barrel. STOP as soon as you feel resistance when it gets to the hop area. Then keep turning in the same direction as you extract it.

Sounds like the sights might need adjusting rather than anything wrong. Would be good to get a cleaning rod (or making one) because its always worth cleaning the barrel.

Re-living the good days 😉 What do you like the look of in the sub gun genre?

Welcome 🖐 Do you mean to actually play indoor CQB games? That's jumping into the fast action 😄 I'd recommend a good'ol MP5 (JG or CYMA depending if you want metal body) Or MP5K for extra CQB points 😆 I think many player prefer a good pistol for pure CQB?

Didn't do enough reading eh? 🤣 Just kidding. Its impossible to only buy once. You have to try things out yourself to make a decision and tastes change too.

Welcome Dave Yeah the fight to resist buying stuff is already lost 😆 Take your time and read lots so hopefully you don't regret any purchases.

So your parents aren't involved? The easiest would be for a parent to play three games to get UKARA registered. Yes, anyone with UKARA can gift you a RIF.

Oh, that's disappointing then

Both should be good but personally I'd go for the Specna with electronic trigger (it'll be a basic mosfet but still good) and quick change spring (check reviews of how easy it actually is) Plus it comes will all the rails in case you need em. The Specna is also a tad heavier so will feel a bit more beefy Whichever you go for, first clean the barrel with the cleaning rod (that should be included) then give it a good test to make sure it all works as it should.

Aye, welcome back then. So what's wrong with the gearbox? Stock of airsoft toys is quite low but there are a few good budget manufacturers now including DoubleEagle, JG and SpecnaArms.

Try ARMA3

I still find it very strange that no other companies have made a HP-MK3 considering how ubiquitous it was. But there are endless variations of less iconic pistols.

Sure they're not great but I've got a few WE pistols and the Hi-Power is the only one with this problem. They used a stiff spring as the striker with the theory that it can flex up when the mag is inserted. The problem is the attachment point of the spring is too weak. Yeah, if it was made of steel it would probably work.

Ah interesting. I can see on my other pistols that the striker is hinged so that it can move up when a mag is inserted and valve pushes up on it.

I assume the older version (P35) had the same system. Maybe it was made of better material but its a poor design for sure.

Welcome 🖐 Duno the area but have a look HERE for sites nearby. Someone may give more specifics. Do lots of reading on the forum because there are answers to all your questions buried deep in the threads 😏

I'd be interested to know if they have improved the mechanism (I doubt it) Could you compare the new and old one?

I broke the striker after only a few days. Then I looked online and found many people had the same problem. https://youtu.be/6nDSDEScEDQ I had to order a couple of replacement parts from KYAirsoft which took a long time to arrive.

Haven't got both to test but as Nick said, 99% sure they are the same. (Remember to insert the mag only AFTER racking it)

I had a good experience with 'Entrepot' too. Fast delivery and no extra charges (may vary)

I've bought a couple of RIFs from them (a few years ago). They arrived after a couple of weeks with nothing extra to pay. Keep in mind that things can still go wrong with postage and I may have been lucky with import inspections but I think they are a reliable and trustworthy company. Definitely ask about availability first to be safe.
