Yeah, Deans (also called T-Connectors) are the best for efficiency. You should get a 7.4v Li-Po (or two) 1000mAh or higher. (Not Nuprol) ...and a decent charger like a SkyRC s60 or similar. (Not Nuprol)

I've got the SA-E03 Edge (v1) and very happy with it out of the box. Not needed any mods to improve things. Mine only has the basic X-ASR MosFet which doesn't have any programable functions. Read lots of good thing about the Double Eagle M906 on this forum so have good look into that one too. (I also thing G&G are expensive for what you get) Don't bother thinking about converting anything to DMR as there's more to it than just a stronger spring. You'll be wanting a new pew soon enough so better to get something more suited to the role. Its always good to have a backup on a gameday anyway...

I believe you need a certain number of posts before you can access the classifieds.

I think this issue was related to the Mac11 (Duno which make but likely ASG) Apparently it does say in the instructions that the bolt should be retracted before inserting a full mag otherwise the feed bar can be broken. As above, I've not heard of this being a problem with pistols but I would be wary of overfilling the mag with BBs and always test how much pressure there is on the top BB.

As you know, UK stock of PKM's is non-existent. A&K parts a hard to get hold of at the best of times. (I've got their M60) I don't know if they're still making PKM's but the current Covid situation in China means they're working at low production level, if at all. Even if the company survives and continues production in the future it'll take quite a while for items to appear in UK retailers.

Welcome Ian ? Unfortunately its going to be very difficult to find spares for any A&K products. You'll have to keep an eye on forums for second hand and possibly boneyard items.

Welcome ?

Thanks for the info ? Will PM if I decide to order

Yeah, price for any M712 or C96 thanks

Yeah should be fine

It varies by a few grams each time. I pull to a marked line then press the 'Hold' button to save the reading so I don't have to look at it while pulling.

Yeah, same principle I guess. It does work quite well and testing a few springs you can make a chart of Kg vs resulting fps for a particular rifle. With enough samples from various rifles it should be possible to predict rough fps in general.

What did he do?

As Roger said, the fps for a particular spring depends a lot on the gas flow efficiency so you can never say exactly what fps you'll get with a certain spring. I've made a simple contraption to measure spring power in Kg which will help get an idea of the fps you'll get from your particular rifle. PM me if you want to buy one (£10)

Before I started playing and being UKARA registered I did actually buy a RIF (MAC10) using the film defence but I had to show proof that I worked in an actual production company. So saying that you want to make your own film will not work...

Erm, good luck with that...

Welcome ?

The piston O-ring is meant to be loose. As it travels forward the air is forced in the holes and expands the O-ring to make tit seal. There shouldn't be any holes in the piston itself though.

Probably got a bit bent with the initial impact. Worst case you'll need a replacement outer barrel

Welcome Lee Adding to what our Shamal said, check out www.playairsoft.uk a website made by our @shadowfacex ...and a few of us are older than 46 ?

Yeah, worth keeping a couple of favourites in case... Sorry to hear but something else may come up to take all your time and money (not including a wife) There's always collecting and plinking in the garden ?

I used to live in Israel and saw them being carried by civil defence quite a lot. I'll probably get one but I don't like the coating. I prefer unadulterated metal finish. I foresee a bit of right arm exercise in my future...

I've got two hi-caps by different makes and neither work properly. At some point the spring just unwinds completely with a whizing sound. There has to be a lot of tension on the spring to feed all the BBs and the mechanism design just isn't strong enough to hold it. As you know, its not possible to wind as you play. I have more success with the STANAG adaptor but I use short (20rnd) Vietnam hi cap mag which is much more compact. Using the wheel on that as I play works fine. You do have to roll the gun left and right a bit to get the BBs to feed into the side mag.

You can get various connector cables separately.

Can't find the B6 in UK anymore. (the genuine ones supposedly have a hologram sticker on the bottom but I wouldn't count on it) This is the newer version (and good price) SkyRC S65 AC Charger 65W SK-100152-04 (modelsport.co.uk)
