    Something is not right. I have filed down the bridge, installed the hop rubber (with the provided metal ring), installed the hop arm and nub, reassembled everything back. Just went to test fire before going to work and: Hop isn't lifting anything, when I turn it on it just jams. Any ideas?
  2. Skara
    Now THAT is a nice gun. 5" handguard and 7" barrel?
  3. Skara

    Binary triggers are excellent meme dispensers xD

    Can't wait to test it on Sunday 

  4. Skara
    Hop up upgrades got delivered and installed on the barrel/chamber. Will test tomorrow morning before leaving for the office
  5. Skara
    Me crap has arrived. Rubber, nub and arm have already been installed and will be tested tomorrow. ETU upgrade kit will be installed tonight and tested next Sunday.

    Saw it, but it put me off as it doesn't have an airbrake Will buy his trigger if I don't get yours tho

    Softairgames, in San Marino (a tiny shit enclave in Italy) for €12 or 13. The arm is made by ES custom works, an Italian guy who makes Striker upgrades, there are 2 versions: One that accepts any nub (the one I got) and one with an integrated concave nub for the same price. Ask Asomodai as he ordered a few RIFs from said shop too. Link https://www.softairgames.net/en/hop-up-chambers/14501-flat-hop-up-arm-ares-striker-amoeba-tuning-kit-es-custom-works-escw-6.html

    Just ordered some upgrades. Perun ETU upgrade kit for my arp; ES custom works (Italian dude) Ares Striker hop arm; ML 50° Decepticon rubber; ML omega nub. Should be here tomorrow Now I just need a new tappet plate and to file down the bridge on my Striker barrel
  10. Skara

    Had a nice game, but the arp died :(

    tappet plate committed suicide, and I believe the piston rack followed the example..

    Star is the old name, they are the same company.
  12. Skara
    Good one ?
  13. Skara

    Shall I turn my arp into something like this?

     

    (Longer barrel, longer stock for a better length of pull)

      Each to their own!! 

      Personally I think it’s on par with turning an MP5 into a DMR, but if your toy and money at the end of the day :)

      Speaking of DMR'd mp5s, someone actually did it on this forum.

    4. Skara

      Ok.

       

      Here's a part list:

      9" M-Lok Ares handguard €33 (40% off at a local shop).

      12cm barrel extension (not sure about the actual length) €12.

      M4 buffer tube €10.

      Zci or Madbull black python v2 240mm €25.

       

      That's the externals.

       

      Internally I'm only fixing the air seal, swapping the hop chamber with a retro arms I have in a drawer and swapping the crap ETU mosfet with a Perun ETU upgrades kit. Maybe a new piston if the teeth are worn.

       

      The front end should be a copy of my honey badger, if not a bit shorter (can't remember if my HB has a 9 or 10 inch handguard), which is still workable in tight spaces.

       

      Would it work?

  14. Skara

    3 days into the new job.

    Someone broke into the office last night and stole.....

     

     

     

    A plant.

     

    A fucking plant.

     

    Nothing else is missing, just a plant.

      4th day.

      Someone stole our trash bin.

       

      This place is turning out to be worse than Mogadishu xD

    Festivities like Halloween.

     

    Those days in which people who have disappeared for months and avoided any kind of contact from you suddenly resurrect from the depths of oblivion they jumped in head first, only to drag your tired ass from a 12h nonstop work day into a town that's dead 360 days a year, surrounded by crowds of teenagers looking to get drunk and have sex with someone they won't even remember if it's a male or female, followed by people with no less than 50 years desperately trying to achieve the same.

     

    I fucking love festivities.

     

    Also these sons of bitches are fucking late as always and it's pouring like hell.

     

    Thank God I'm moving back to my parents tomorrow because I've finally found a decent paying job.

     

    So I can buy a house.

    On top of a mountain.

    And not having to deal with all this shit ever again.

     

     

     

     

     

    Or maybe I just need to see a psychologist.

    Anyone with experience on the plastic cobra buckle?

    1. Lozart

      Lozart

      I have a Helikon belt with one on and it's absolutely fine. It is more chunky than the metal ones out of necessity but it's still good.

    2. Skara

      Skara

      Cheers.

      OPS makes a belt with said plastic buckle for a tenner less than the metal d-ring one.

       

      Imma go for the plastic buckle then :)

       

      edit: of course it's out of stock -.-

    I caused a battery to burst into flames on purpose. Was an old battery and I shot it repeatedly with both an airsoft and a .177 air rifle while bodging a connection to a light bulb to discharge it but no, never had a Lipo catch fire or explode during normal use. Treat them well and they'll treat you well

    Emerson and TMC make replicas of the d3cr, along with one low quality Chinese brand I can't remember..

    Belt or gun first?

    1. Nick G

      Nick G

      Piece of string to keep your trousers up, and gun !

    2. Skara

      Skara

      ?

       

      Ordering the belt :P

  20. Skara
    Just a question, why are you carrying the dump in that position?
  21. Skara
    Make sure to replace the cylinder asap with a steel one, either one piece or with welded pins. Maybe a @Samurai fixed bolt handle too for faster reloads
  22. Skara

    Hsgi sure grip or frv tailoring?

      You can buy direct from UR OPS

    3. Skara

      Skara

      Customs and extra fees though. But well, if the quality is there it may be worth..

       

      Colour wise?

      Pouches and holster are going to be multicam, but I'd like the belt to be of a different colour/pattern.

       

      My TMR is in A-Tacs iX, my Mini Mav is multicam and my jpc (which will go soon) is multicam too.

       

      Would ranger green be a decent looking match?

       

       

      Btw, €80 shipped.

      I've bought direct from UR Tactical and from their ebay page https://www.ebay.com/str/multicamguy2/BELTS-SUSPENDERS/_i.html?_storecat=2666446015 and it's still been cheaper and quicker than getting a belt from FRV. Never been stung for extra customs duty either and I've bought a range of stuff from pouches to plate carriers from them!

  23. Skara
    Question: How much would you pay for a 2nd hand HSGI Sure Grip belt with its Cobra inner?
  24. Skara

    What a sad sack of shit I am.

     

    I also need a better belt, this one keeps sliding down (that's what you get for being a poor, cheap fuck)

  25. Skara

    Used TM hi capa 4.3 for €100, yay or nay?

    1. Adolf Hamster

      Adolf Hamster

      if it's in decent nick i'd say why not, mine's been stellar despite having basically no provenance.

    2. Skara

      I can try and lower the price to 80.

       

      Has a couple of scratches but nothing major, next week I'll check how it shoots and if the mag has any leak.
