  1. Hi,

     

    New to airsoft, looking to buy my first gun. probably 2nd hand.

  2. Great day at ucap green ops.

    Marshalls and staff were on top form.

    I, especially,had a good day because I have adopted a dmr role and the gun that I used,purchased from this very forum,(thanks @cyanide14k),performed faultlessly. I was surprised at how much more range I could get with .30. The scope made so much difference to target finding. Total of ten good hits although I have to admit to two home kills🥴

     

    Not a large turnout,about 45,but good, honest play all round with no player fallouts and lots of complimentary calls.

     

    I think I have found a style of play that suits me now that I am getting older.More relaxed and laying in wait from good cover.

     

    I will still switch to assault play on good days when the bones aren't shouting STOP! You maniac lol.

     

    Tired but happy🙂🙂

     

    Regards 

  3. Right. Keep the noise down you orrible bunch. I'm off to bed. Early start tomorrow. Game on at ucap green ops.🙂🙂

  4. Are Geoff's bio BB bags also bio? Because the bags are falling apart in storage.  The bbs within are still good though.

  5. What you have for sale me friend?

  6. Tournament tomorrow, a bit nervous because I am the team leader.

    Also we are forced to use brown BBs which means nobody will either hit shit or call hits.

     

    Recipe for disaster tbf

  7. So someone asks a question about a gun I have for sale and immediately leaves the convo...........

  8. Might take a pass at trying to persuade the staff at my local site to allow DMRs to have a 20m MED instead of 30m (1.64J is the power limit). Wish me luck :P

  9. What's the etiquette around necroing threads here usually?

    For example if I wanted to share my experience shopping at a particular physical store and there's an old thread someone else posted about it, should I reply there or start a new one, y'all think?

  11. I kinda feel bad for replacing my Perun Optical with a Hybrid. I may build a gun/gearbox just to use it again!

     

    I don't regret replacing the Titan though.

  13. Leaking 40 Mike fill valve.  cleaning: no fix, soaking in silicone oil: no fix...  its leaking on the low pressure maintinence gas too... any advice?

  14. nyone know who took over Sentinel Airsoft in Dunstable?

  15. Hello guys,this guy is a scammer…I lost 350£,I paid him for a gun with bank transfer(lesson learned) and he never delivered…Anyway I went today to Metropolitan Police in Euston and gave all details that I have and screenshots with the conversation also (dm me for case reference if anyone else was scammed by him).Never trust ppl here and also don’t do business without PayPal

      I'm even more sorry to say that it's almost certain that nothing will happen to the crook.  There's a bloke in Ireland, Steven/Stephen Glennie who's essentially a professional scammer, with a criminal record, and even he gets away with it over and over and over again.

      I'm very sorry to hear that. The problem isn't just "here", this is rife on all sales sites, and airsoft in particular.  Please don't feel too bad, the successful scammers are really good at this.

  17. I'm starting out and enjoying airsoft with me son...Any advice would be great

  18. First time taking a gearbox apart and I swear to god this M95 spring is way to strong to get into the casing without exploding the internals everywhere. Am I missing something?

     

    No quick change spring :(

      I'd expect that that suggested range is more down to the other variables (airseal, cylinder-to-barrel volume, magic dust) than an admission that the spring itself isn't consistent.

       

      Not that I'm claiming that airsoft parts are consistent, I hasten to add!

      Ah, sounds like air seal.  Tappet plate + nozzle + hop + bucking = seal.  Change any of those and you can get misfeeds or a big power loss from a fraction of a mm of difference either way. Change more than 1 at a time and you don't know what caused it.


      I'm trying to picture how the hop can screw to the gearbox and the upper/barrel.  Normally you'd have a spring pushing it back against the gearbox.

       

      First thing I'd do is put the CYMA hop back in and see what it's chronoing at, with some hop applied.

       

      Maple Leaf buckings have longish lips and tend to give good air seal (sometimes at the cost of misfeeding, but that can be sorted by trimming a tiny sliver off the bottom of the feed lip).

       

      If you do end up going back into the gearbox, you'll definitely want to check the airseal there.

       

      With the cylinder out of the gearbox, put the cylinder head in, the nozzle on the head, and the tappet plate on the nozzle (to help hold everything square).  Pop the piston in, put a thumb over the nozzle, and push the piston sharply forwards (or rest the rear of the piston on a table push the cylinder assembly down on the piston). It should be stopped by the airseal, or be very hard to push.  If you can creep the piston in, that's not such a big deal, it only really matters what happens when you do it quickly.

       

      If you've got poor airseal in the cylinder, you can replace the piston and cylinder head rings, or stretch them: remove from the piston and head, stretch over the cylinder and leave them for a bit, and/or apply heat.  Reassemble with silicone grease (or red rubber grease, but nothing petroleum based).

       

      It's quite remarkable how big a difference airseal makes: I saw 1.3J out of an M100 spring using a completely stock (but stretched and greased) CYMA gearbox, a ZCI hop unit, maple leaf and 229mm ZCI barrel.  Ooops!

  22. updat to the kwa erg saga. It's finally back with me. However after nearly 10 months away with a 'tech'. The packaging hadnt even been opened....

  23. Silverback - most annoying manufacturer?
    If you were going to give any youtube channel an exclusive - why give it to a channel with under 1000 subs???

     

  24. Is anyone a member of UK Airsoft Players Union?
