  1. Does anyone know any decent Aimpoint CompM4 repros?

  2. I wish Crazy Jets were made of steel rather than brass. Also if you want to stay in a budget, the AA steel barrels are great. The one I have in my striker is really good and it was just €25!
  3. I have it. Works flawlessly, although it's super heavy when fully loaded (mind you, I have the manual winding only one because it's less shit that can go wrong in tournaments, the electric winding ones are even heavier because of the battery + electronics inside). Works best with short guns like your HB I do sometimes use it when I want to run light loadouts without chest rigs.
  4. https://www.onmymk.com/ tis the Holy Bible of the MK23 Offensive Handgun system. As a general rule of thumb, TDC plate, Maple Leaf rubber, that's it. Hadron Designs is where you buy the TDC parts For carbine kits there are a few available options, most of them are 3d printed kits (most notably the Foundry Airsoft one). A longer barrel will just ramp up the energy output, the gun is already a sniper rifle as it is @1J with retarded range on heavy BBs.
  5. Reloading is so overrated, I just bought a G&G 1500bb drum mag for MP5s. Now I can magdump cheaters with my KA PDW
  6. Neither, get the H-Arm from Hadrons which replaces the standard arm and removes the need of an additional plate/key piece. The double screw works like the stock SRS hop, it's better for extremely fine tuning of the hop, the triple screw top just merges the two together. Good luck with the build
  7. Yup, alpha wire is great, I need to stock some more from Pete before brexit fucks me up with import fees
  8. Small update, for some reason the motor vibrates less than before reshimming and is a hair quieter overall. Plus the new wiring (alpha wire) seems to have slightly increased the trigger response and cycle rate over the shit job I did with the stock silver plated wire it comes with. Quite satisfied with the results.
  9. Mmmkay. Nothing to worry about then (bar the motor vibrating like a fancy dildo) Alright, thanks
  10. Just a quick one this time. I am working on my ak, I needed to redo the wiring because at the time I did a crap job, I also wanted to solve the motor whining so I reshimmed the box (bevel was a hair too tight and the spur was a bit loose) and in the process came across this: This is how the cage sits when closed, I don't think it's right, as the two locking lugs near the pinion should (imo) sit flush with each other. Is it a factory fuckup that requires a new cage? Or am I a retard? This allows the motor to slightly spin on its axis when operating and it causes vibrations. Any thoughts?
  11. Writing a review....

    More like writing a rant about a company lol.

      Think everything has its flaws...

       

      I'm riddled with them 🤪🤪🤪

  12. it's the Magic Box Miracle Barrel, it has two grooves on the bottom at the hop end to align the bb with the rubber. Given that I haven't heard nor read anything since its release back in 2016, it's safe to assume it was a flop.
  13. There we go, more money down the drain as I NEED to make one of these :D

      oh well that is worth a go at that price

       

      yes they are the cheapo guns that goes a bit tits up

      & if you can find one that needs a bit of TLC

      well then go for it - why not

       

      brand new they was like about £60 a couple of years back

      but lately seem rather thin on the ground new

       

      guess with the £63 really cheap CM.5XX Cyma's M4's AK's

      & say £75 - MP5's, the old cheap Galaxy's have lost ground in the brand new gun section/selection

       

      so 30 notes - is worth a bash

      just thought of spending say £75+ at a UK retailer

      (I know you're in Italy)

      the thought of people rushing out to spend £75+ new

      for a MP5k based on this fortunate install - is a bit risky

       

      30 notes - yeah fuck it, what ya got to lose

       

      just remember to order some LUCK

      and when people like Luke are so good

      they make it LOOK easy

       

      yonks ago somebody said to another person their job is easy

      & their reply was fucking awesome I kept it to hand...

       

      No boss - I'm so fucking good at what I do...

      I simply MAKE IT LOOK SO EASY

       

      (fucking love that response)

      Another option:

      My team tech has an old battered TM mp5k thrown in the bin. Externally it only needs a new mag release paddle.

      I could buy a brand new V3 box (8mm with QC spring), get that TM body for free and then build onto that.

       

      How about this?

      Free is even better

       

      Only thing to watch is the bespoke bits on MP5k's...

       

      Like don't break the selector plate...

       

      You can get a MP5 v2 selector, but for a v3 they are not so common

       

      Stuff like that be careful if tearing things apart

       

      You could also drill the back of a gearbox with say 15mm hole to make your DIY QC box

      (For poops n giggles)

       

      Coz guns with foldable/removable stock end, with exposed box showing...

      Are screaming for a QC box in them

  14. It's common practice here, whereas short stroking isn't really used unless the customer asks for it. Not that I care much about these kind of things as I do 99% of my own repairs (bar a couple of things I just don't have the tools nor the money/space to buy and use these tools). Moreover, 99% of the people who send their guns to techs are the kind of people who know fuck all about internals and are usually cheapskates who want a job done quick and cheap. The ports I drilled were placed exactly where a 3/4 cylinder hole would be, so no hard slapping or anything. On the other hand I've seen some pretty awful ports that were drilled literally a cm away from the cylinder head, now THAT is an easy way to destroy a piston/cylinder head.
  15. Heh, that is a shit job. The one I did on both my amoebas was fine though. Still drilled, but I did it very carefully and removed all the burrs on the inside. Also I used a 3mm bit so the hole is tiny.
  16. It's a quick and cheap way to reduce the energy. don't see anything wrong with it (if done properly)
  17. A pair of Revision Sawfly glasses from eBay (brand new apparently). A kind of emergency purchase as I just found out that my Vega glasses are cracked (at least 4 years of service in protecting my mk1 eyeball sighting system).
  18. Don't tell Duck you had problems with it but yeah, ZCI inner is the way to go. If you crack open the box, post pictures so we can help!
  19. Nop, the PDI W-thingy is not a standard rubber in my book. I'd like to try it though... Next order I guess Also, it's the Internet Man's law, just like AOE and many other shit people do. Someone did it once, so now the whole Internet think it's the best thing ever.
  20. Perun installed, something must have gone terribly wrong though, as after the calibration process now whenever I plug the battery in the gun fires on its own. EDIT: What went wrong was me messing up the calibration. Took it apart, tricked the unit into calibration mode and made the trigger pull a bit more substantial than the touch screen I had set seems to be working fine now, although it's rather late now and can't test properly. also reshimmed the box, it runs somewhat smooth now (spur gear was too tight from factory, while the sector and bevel were really loose) with only just a tiny bit of play on the sector, so tiny that if I put a 0.1mm spacer it becomes too tight. Now we (I) wait for a zci 22tpa and 13:1s so that I can meme around with binary spam EDIT 2: Out of curiosity I installed one of my SHS high torque motors and ho-lee shit it's fast! Double taps like a motherfucker without AB. So yeah, I'll keep the stock gears and order yet another SHS HT.
  21. I think it's the best among the endless sea of standard rubbers. It was my go to rubber before discovering MR-Hops and it's still my go to when ML rubbers cause issues (or when I only sling 0.25s like in my King Arms)
  22. You can take a look at my "Wat am bset XXXXX" threads to see how I went with picking new guns
  23. Shit arrived. Unpleasantly surprised to find only ONE set of gearbox stickers in the box. It's nothing wrong from Perun, but eh, I wish they came with 2 sets of black stickers (in case one wants to move the unit over to another gearbox or swap in case of breakage)
  24. Depends on what's your goal. If you want a particular look, then I'd get the base that has the most parts already fitted. If you want performance, more or less the same although if the plan is to completely rebuild the box with your own shit, you may just want a gun with the "best" box possible. By best I mean whatever is confirmed to take all the parts you want to use. Building a gun from the ground up takes an incredible amount of research to see what parts go well with X box or receiver, unfortunately in airsoft standards aren't real standards, so a V2 G&G box is not guaranteed to fit a V2 VFC receiver or a V2/V3 set of gears may not like to be inside a particular V2 box. And it ends up being super expensive as well
