    Noob question.. 40mm Moscart 120rnd nade, is the o-ring which keeps the BB's from falling out actually 40mm? Or slightly smaller for a tighter fit.

    Well just ordered a Firefly Flathop nub & Prommy Purple and will attempt my very fist 'flathop' in a few days.  The whole 'wiring to deans' went ok, so this is the next step.

      I'm also trying this over the weekend for the first time too - I'm using a madbull hop unit and I 60 degree Shark hop bucking. I'm going to do the DIY approach of using a rubber eraser as a hop nub and see how I get on. We should compare notes ?

      Yeh, I was thinking about just cutting up a rubber as well..but for me very first one I wanted to use official parts..lol  :)

    3. AndyDynamic

      AndyDynamic

      Not a bad idea at all - I'll be the one playing with a scalpel blade cutting up a small bit of rubber - first aid kit on standby! ?

    Is this strange behaviour?  I am sitting at my computer, watching youtube vids, whilst cradling my rifle.

      I just went 12 weeks withtout a skirmish mate and it will probably be at least 2 weeks before I can afford to go again.

      It was dropped off down the local post office...so hopped, skipped & jumped my way there. (Went in car actually)  5.11 Multicam Combat top..  :) :) :)

    Another good day yesterday @ Kidderminster Airsoft (Paintball Park) their 3rd event and great to see them trying out new & different scenarios.  My new barrel/Bucking/Nub/Spring in the ICS seemed to be ok, but wasn't greatly impressed, but I guess it just needs a little tweaking...might try some .28's next time up from .25's.  Was hot & sunny, sweating like a mofo..but felt awesome!

  13. Monkman

    Was in JDAirsoft yesterday and played around with a ICS L85A2..my god it's a heavy beastie.

      lol...well my little ICS CQB is a heavy little sod, got lots of comments about it today...Why does it weigh so much? Where's the weight at?  I think ICS probably used IRON instead of Aluminium in there earlier guns..lol

    I don't have many patches...but this one about sums me up...lol
  15. Monkman

    Well that was fun..changing the springs on both my Nuprol & ICS.  ICS Was simple, but small springs were a bitch.  Nuprol has the quick change out of the back of the mechbox..but my god I had to take the gun apart practically.  After many mistakes, managed to put everything back to working order..just need to get  a new spring tomorrow to go in the ICS to bring the FPS down, now i've extended the barrel.   I had fun!!!

      and now you know why i hate the v2 box.....

       

      and front wiring, because that just makes a pita job even harder for no good reason.

    Time for some 'Pew Pew Pew' tomorrow... :)

    1. Adolf Hamster

      Adolf Hamster

      I think i shall be mostly "pew pew pew, pew pew" for the attacking games and "pewpewpewpewpewpewpewpewpewpewpewpewpewpewpewpewpewpew" for the defending games.

       

      Well, thats assuming the f2000 is working otherwise it'll just be the latter interspersed with terminator quotes

    Sunday I am going to tryout PaintballPark in Kidderminster for a Airsoft OpenDay...Irony is 20+ years ago I used to be a paintball marshal there. :)

    Today I am going to march up and around the Malvern Hills...Because it's sunny and I'm feeling good.

    Decided that I could do with some real good eyepro, instead of the cheap ones from Amazon!!! ? 'Used' pair of Revision Sawfly's...and they are great! Not a scratch on any of the three lenses..well impressed and only £25.75 inc P&P. (Also bought a bag of 20x Revision lens wipes a while ago..and they work great for fogging)
  20. Monkman
    It's finally arrived and after some trial and error..finally managed to get one of my four problem batteries 'balanced' correctly. Challenge is going to be the one lipo which has one cell @ 1.8v!! But will try the NiMh trick and see if I can get that charge up. (4 good batteries f*cked up by crappy Nuprol charger)
  21. Monkman
    Thought it got lost on the way from China, but the little helmet rail mounted tac light has turned up. Though it's not the brightest, it has Red light and IR light function too. Might try newer batteries in it.
  22. Monkman
    Decided that I'd rather have a 2nd tracer unit to accompany my Acetech Predator...so got a package from Asiaairsoft.com today with a knock off of a knock off of the Knights Industries surpressor. It's quite a bit smaller and no markings what so ever, but build quality seems to be ok so far and will test it out soon. But on a sour note, I also was expecting a helmet mounted flexible light...but I guess they forgot to put it in the package, the invoice shows two items, but only one came. So hopefully the boys in China will sort things out for me as they have been quite helpful in the past. The tracer unit is a Army Force Knights full auto tracer for £30. (So will see how long the little fella lasts)
  23. Monkman
    Thanks...I bought an Acetech Predator tracer/suppressor unit a while ago and used it @ The Outpost the other week. The Quick detach function is very handy as my ICS was too hot to play, so just plonked it onto my Nuprol and commenced with the light show in pitch black tunnels.

    Been after a chronograph for quite some time. Decided to buy an Acetech AC6000 one. It allows you to programme in different BB weights etc..and measure joules as well. It's a very nice piece of kit, also quite a bit larger than normal chronographs. (Nuprol etc..) Time to sling some plastic and see whats what..
  25. Monkman
    I got my Spectre replica from Amazon.... I specifically wanted the 1-4x zoom version with red dot on the top. Quality is good and it does weigh quite a bit as it's all metal. The sight is adjustable for zeroing, but the red dot is not very adjustable. Illumination of the sight is just a red/green dot on the centre of the crosshairs of varying levels. There is even a flashider which acts as a handy shield against BB's. I saw unbranded versions of the Spectre in JDAirsoft with a fixed x4 zoom for £199... Mine was £150. https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00ULRCVRC/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o08_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 **As Wo1f just said...they don't hold zero when you flip the zoom....but I have found that while I have zero'd it for x4...playing with it @ x1 zoom for shorter ranges, you only need to make a slight adjustment to where your shooting....
