    Just a heads up... JDAirsoft has just received some Tokyo Mauri stuff, it's up on their website! Would've bought one there and then..but just paid for a Vortex Strike Eagle 1-6x24 Scope and a G&G TR4-16 two weeks ago. (Scope going on my ICS, which I'm going to convert to DMR)

    Went to JD today to put one of my guns in for warranty repair and to buy some bits & bobs...Walked out with another new gun.  Dammit all to hell!!!!   😮

      Just a G&G TR4-18 in Tan...wanted something for CQB, so new Tan holosight to go with it also...already have a Tan AN/PEQ15.  Pimping...and pretty cheap as they had a 10% off everything that day.

      Sweeeeeet !

      dont knock it bud , a fair few ‘seasoned’ S’ofters look down on combat machines but if your after a gun for a specific job then it’s the perfect choice for the job . 👍

      @Druid799 the TR4-18 is a Top Tech, not a Wombat Machine. Good guns, nice choice!

    I have another tool which allows me to remove the muzzle break & tighten the castle nut on the Buffer tube...I noticed it also as doubles as a tool to remove the nut under the delta ring. (Noticed it only after I was looking in my tool box for other options to remove the nut after I bent the 'cheese' tool) The nut came off pretty easy with my other tool, require a bit of force...but was fine! That shitty tool I bought, no word of a lie..I can bend it with my fingers when holding it in one hand!!!

    Bought a "DELTA Ring tool"...........didn't last long! & A replacement barrel for my ICS CXP CQB HOG (As I stripped the muzzle threads) Well..decided to take off the Delta Ring from my M4 today, so broke out the tool I bought from Fire-support. (Am thinking of putting a Mk18 rail system on it, but want to take apart the front end of the M4A1 today to see how it came apart) Long story short, the "Airsoft Pro M4 Delta Ring Tool (Steel)" is really made of 'cheese'...It bent without hardly any pressure. After looking at it and holding it, I can bend it with one hand!!! The "Steel" is of very low quality and made of soft steel. If buy tools, don't buy this product... My fault, I should've spent more money on a decent one, but thought for airsoft, it would be ok...but no! Have contacted Fire-Support telling them that product is crap!

    New tactical light turned up today... My Tokyo Mauri HK45 Tactical is now complete...
  6. Monkman

    I'm in the market for a new CQB gun and I'm thinking of two options, either a Mk18 M4 or a HK 416.  Below are two examples that intrigue me. (Tokyo Marui's are just a little expensive atm...)

     

    Anyone have any experience with either of the below options?

     

    1)E&L  Mk18 MOD1 M4

    2)G&G GT Advanced TR4-18 (HK 416 clone)

      In your shoes if I can I always try to scrape the beer tokens together to buy another gatt that’s basically already to go if I can . I find if I’m after a very specific gun I’m never truly happy with my own build but if I can get one ready built from a retailer ? 

      The specna

      £183 from Gun-fire.

      Or how about this one from TG ? Wrong stock but you can pick up crane stocks for peanuts ?

    I've been tinkering and pulling it apart constantly, learning how the thing goes together...I have a potential trigger contact issue, so when I get a free day..i'm going to delve into the mech box. Also i've not been the kindest to it out on the field..it's had two dunking's in water and caked in mud several times. The forward RIS is starting to wobble a bit, so need to find out a way of making it tighter than a Yorkshire man! My ICS on the other had is treated like a goddess....anyone who looks at it the wrong way, gets their throats ripped out. (Ok made that bit up..but i'm a lot more careful with that one as it cost me £390)
  8. Monkman
    Yes I do.. But it's getting a little tired. I've moved onto a sexier, younger model now...tight and sleek..and oriental.

    Was at RIAT today to watch da planes...found a RAF Regiment stand and got to play with some guns...OMG! I cannot believe how good the Elcan Spectre x4 optic is on the L85A2...me wanty one!!! (I have  clone Elcan and love it...but the real thing..shit hot!)  I just need around £2k I suppose to buy one..lol

      Lucky! I’ve never seen through an Elcan.

    Bugger...just got my rota for my new job and i'm working both Sunday's at two of my fav sites..Grrr! At least my 3rd fav is available on a day off!  Time to break out the lights & lasers and hit some dark dark tunnels!!

    Is .30g BB in a 350fps ICS MARS with Prommy purple & flathop to much to ask...or stick with .28's?  I seek wisdom from the Elders... :)

    1. MisterG

      MisterG

      It was too much for the APE, .25s and .28s seem to be the sweet spot for it.  Is the MARS similar enough to the APE?

    2. L3wisD

      L3wisD

      .30s with a prommy and Prowin (standard nub) in mine no problems.

      Mine chronos at 330. 

       

      I found the purple better with the standard nub than being modified into a flat version

      try it, if it can lift it then it'll be good, although the problem with heavier ammo is the bb travel time, but it's the choice we all have to make.

    Nothing sexy this week..but seeing as it was "hotter than hell" last weekend, I ended up ditching the chest rig...but had issues with where to carry my mags. Had a couple on my belt..but wanted to carry more, so just ordered this US Govt issued M16 x6 mag bandoleer, to carry a few extra mags when I wanna run light during the summer days.
  13. Monkman

    Tried the CXP M.A.R.S out yesterday and wasn't to impressed with the flathop and .25's..after lunch I decided to dump all my mags and refill with .28's..WOW!! What a difference it made...going to try even heavier ones as well next time.  :)

      i tend to find flat hops to be a bit finnicky, sure they're perfect when they're set right, but a gnat's fart is the difference between too much and not enough.

      run mine with a prometheus purple bucking and nub on .28 bb's and find it shoots brilliantly

  14. Monkman
    We're taking a few guns to use tomorrow... A&K Mk46 ICS CXP CQB Nuprol Delta with M320 nade launcher ICS CXP MARS TM HK45 Tactical TM Mk23 😁😁😁
  15. Monkman
    ICS CXP M.A.R.S. carbine.... shoots 345fps out the box and flathopped it today. Looking forward to rocking this badboy tomorrow. 😁
  16. Monkman

    Trying to decide if I should buy a ICS CXP MARS Carbine tomorrow as a treat...

    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.

    1. Adolf Hamster

      Adolf Hamster

      my madbull shell says 36mm od when installed

    2. Monkman

      Monkman

      Righto...will go lookong tomorrow for o-rings up town.  Cheers bud..  🙂

      First paycheck always has to go on a good meal.

    Thunderstorms on way for Sunday...should make game day interesting.

  20. Monkman

    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.

    1. AndyDynamic

      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 😅

    2. Monkman

      Monkman

      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! 😨

  21. Monkman

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

      Not gonna lie, that's is pretty fucking weird.

       

      For a normal person.

       

      Carry on.

      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.
