Also factor in a new trigger box which you will need after a few months using it. WE GBBRs trigger sear is made of shit metal so wears quite quickly. See if you can find a RA-Tech trigger box as its worth getting and drops straight in. (Or get the components separately and fit to existing box)

As you may imagine, this has been asked a few times already. Do a few searches and read everything that comes up. You'll need to spends a bit more than £100 for a decent pew but between £120-150 should be do-able. (Remember to budget an extra £60 at least for eye pro, better batteries and charger, spare mags, BBs etc.) Nothing wrong with stating as a sniper and the WELL shooters are quite good generally. The problem is peoples expectations of how accurate and deadly they are. (hint: You need to tweak a LOT which often involves quite a bit of money to get decent range and accuracy) The JG T3's have a good reputation but haven't tried one myself. Looks like a good option for DMR role. (Again tho: Don't expect it to have much more range out of the box than a standard AEG)

Put "UKARA: (number)" in the address section just in case they don't have the option later or forget to put it on.

Yeah, most likely bits settling. I've heard that after a few hundred rounds the hop rubber gets properly worn-in and smooths out consistency.

From those choices I'd go with the CYMA. Good robust internals and should work well out of the box. Specna are good but the CORE is polymer body. Don't know about King Arms but their L1A1 is highly regarded. (Its out of stock anyway)

Tell her they're good for soil drainage ? For garden plinking you can use any eye protection. Even the work glasses from a pound shop will be OK. Anything else? : You might want to get an extra magazine or two? Note there are mid capacity (about 120BBs) that must be loaded with a special loader (cheap to buy) and High capacity which hold up to 400BBs loosely and must be wound after a few shots.

BSOD is a sign of hardware problem as that's a base architecture level failure. If you can play ARMA on a laptop then you'll love the performance of Reforger. (Keep in mind there isn't much content yet)

ARMA is based on a very old engine which has been updated over the years but was never designed to handle such large scenarios. Its very dependant on CPU for the AI so a well made mission that spawns entities only around you will give good fps. Reforger is the next step to ARMA4 and its looking good.

Yes, its early access so has bugs and incomplete features but bloody hell it looks good and plays above 15fps ? Its going to be awesome... (PM me if you want to meet up for a game)

Yeah, the years take a toll even if you try to look after yourself. My lower back is a problem but I haven't been able to get it checked yet. As Tackle said, you can still enjoy a game of airsoft at a slower pace from further back and wearing good eyepro will protect the peepers no problem.

Adding my 2p I don't think you need to spend much more than £100 for a basic rifle to do target practice in the garden. Any of these will be OK for plinking: Two Tone Airsoft Assault Rifles | Buy Now Pay Later | Patrol Base (Don't know about Lancer but CYMA and Specna are decent) Low stock is a problem everywhere ? Be aware though, airsoft weapons are nowhere near as accurate as air rifles. Especially above 30m. Get some 0.28g BBs to help with accuracy and you should have some eye protection just in case. Check the one you want comes with a battery and charger although a better battery (LiPo) and intelligent charger will be good investments later if you wish to continue with airsoft.

I don't think its worth restoring. Keep the gearbox for spares and any other bits which aren't broken. Then just get a new CYMA or JG.

Unfortunately those versions never last long. Look for a "CYMA AEP" ("CM.126" if you want an M92). Its more expensive but will last longer and shoot better too. (Make sure to order a 'Two Tone' coloured one)

Glad to hear. We can't offer much help because none of us have one of those. Quite unique ?

@Baiok has one though not sure of year.

For a young guy this could be is most prized possession ?

Don't beat yourself up too much. Many people have been in a similar situation at some point...

It very much depends on how you play and how often in a month. As a rough guide for a day: Firing single shot only you could use around 1000. If you always use full auto at anything that moves and into bushes to clear them, probably 10,000+ BB weight is quite important to help accuracy and consistency. 0.25g to 0.28g is good for AEGs 0.3g+ is better for DMR/Sniper

As above really... * Good makes for batteries: KongPower, Turnigy Charger: SkyRC (Stay away from NUPROL) * Deans (T-connectors) are much better than mini-tamiya in every way. XT are good too but more expensive and bigger so I still prefer Deans. * I don't have bags for batteries but I do charge on a baking tray. * Yep, 7.4v is best for standard AEG. 11.1v can work but puts a LOT of strain on the gearbox so expect shorter life and more catastrophic failures. Yes, get highest C and mAh you can fit in the space. Roughly explained: C Rating is how much power can be delivered in an instant. mAh is total power storage capacity. 1300mAh can last a day with moderate use, so two of them would be a good choice for a game day.

Because international postage is complicated, expensive and untrusted ?

? Let the spending begin ?

Welcome CLE ? Check here for sites near you: UK Airsoft Map — PlayAirsoft Look up reviews of the sites to see which is worth going to. (Someone in the forum may advise too) I don't think the CM123 alone will be enough to play with. Best to rent so you get a feel for other toys and after 3 games you'll be able to buy a realistic looking one. You can still use your CM123 as a secondary for certain situations. CYMA do some of the best entry AK's Their CM.04xx range are very nice and good performers. Do lots of reading and your knowledge will go up quickly.

Welcome Kevin, Yep, we sometimes talk about airsoft here ? Sorry to say but I don't think you'll have much luck buying from the forum tho ? Enjoy your time here anyway ?

I do have to tighten the valves sometimes too so its worth getting a valve key. Very cheap and useful.

If you're sure its from the base rather than the fill valve then you'll have to open the base and use Silicone oil on the rubber seal. Maybe even soak it for an hour or so. Worst case, you might need a new one but they're cheap. To open the base is either a couple of pins through the sides or a screw at the bottom.
