Mamma Mia ... you should have told him to spend a grand on one if he wanted a real one... then it won't be shit...

a truly international problem, i recall a very similar event on here regarding the ssp1.....

on a serious note i wouldn't mind a nice ACOG for airsoft, although granted the ones i've looked through so far have had a very strange definition of the phrase "forgiving eyebox"

of course i'd still end up stacking a red dot on top and using it almost exclusively same as i do with the short dot.

Yep, told him that the only one worth buying was the real deal, but you know, cheapskates pretending RS quality out of €30 replicas

Some East-block loadouts look pretty awesome..  might have a little browse of their shop

your wallet regretting buying an ak yet?

Yes.

I have a SSO Smersh on my way, a Partizan in SS will most likely follow next week.

Looking at Evolution flash mags and probably a chicom (or some AK pouches to put on my Mini Mav)

my WE 226 mags are the same out of the 5 I have 4 are still gassed and 1 has failed at the release valve

Oh totally, I've got my share of repro kit - just had a repro X300 show up from aliexpress

The multicam sea part is too true, I like having some different stuff. It never really pleased my eye and there's sooooo much of it, whatever floats boats though I guess.

it's one of the things i love about this hobby really, the freedom to choose whatever style you want and go as far as you want.

Found dis.

In an e&l? Im surprised as ive run the 7.62 and 5.45 variants in a couple of e&l's

Yup, they don't engage at the front. 

no biggie, a couple of beers and a file should fix the issue

Btw, the ROF and response is stupid on a 7.4, cycles faster than my old amoeba with a 11.1

Also, know of any decent brand for flash mags? I don't like the metal 7.62 Lonex ones, although I wonder if I can shove the internals into a 74 shell.

The base e&l rof is pretty high, they seem to be built for reasonable speed at a very high fps.

I know a mate of mine had his piston go from pme almost immediately as it was just too fast on a 1j spring and 11.1v.

Cant advise on flashmags, i use midcaps exclusively.

Notifications on the website, I have e-mails enabled for PMs only.

Ok, now that is strange. Thanks for letting me know

"I don't know why people are still buying VFC Guns"

That is literally the only thing VFC got right.

And it looks like they copied KSC for that pistol (or they got KSC to produce for them).

I saw this yesterday and forwarded it to a mate who has one of these. By a strange coincidence I did some work on it recently after he had some issues with it. Wiring in the gearbox was mangled , didn't look like it had been properly pushed down into the guides. He said it had always  kept feeling like it was stuttering, I put a replacement Tomtac box in it for him in the end using the original spring. It's now running at 1.1 joules . Also swapped the pistol grip to a 'Storm' grip as the original wasn't comfortable. Glad I never tried to refit the motor with the old grip now ! Externals are awesome though !

Yeah.

I mean they obviously want to keep the hot seat as the absolute worst service ever.

Imma give it a shot tomorrow morning even if the paper says from the 20th,

So, turns out this shitshow is actually the new procedure.

Postman comes and gives you the ticket (fuck social distancing measures).

You then go to the post office (fuck social distancing measures x2) where all the elders wait for their pensions, so if you happen to be infected without symptoms you basically commit a mass murder, with your ticket and retrieve the parcel.

Then you have to go back home/to the office, by doing so you're at risk of infecting/being infected even with PPE on.

All this to make it "safe" for the postman who has to make contact with you anyway to hand the ticket. At that point he could just hand the parcel and be done with it.

Fucking 200iq move right there.

all i can say is i'm impressed, the italian postal service doesn't own hermes by any chance?

It's gonna be a 74u

my 7.4 is 10x2x1cm and the 11.1s are 10x2x1.7ish.

I'm pretty sure the 7.4 will fit, not sure about the others.

Okay, cheers guys, you've been really helpful

last question, I found some flash mags from Evolution Airsoft (Italian company that apparently makes some neat M4s), would they fit? (Remember, I know fuck all about AKs)

272 including 5 midcaps, shipping and paypal fees.

Not bad.

And my wallet hates you now

And thanks @Asomodai for the discount code, saved me some beer tokens

your wallet will forgive us when it arrives

something like this?? many scopes and peq boxes 😂

Nah, has to be practical as it's going to be my tournament gun.

In that case my original suggestion, replace the rpk mag with a quad-stack 5.56 and put an rds on the scope so its usable.

Also novritsch stickers are a good shout lol

I do feel guilty a bit. Especially as he didn't say anything about the price 😕 Guns are generally more expensive (as in almost double of the average internet price) at our local retailer, so I guess he's used to it.

He wants my old radio too ('twas 60 new + 50 for the mic, giving it to him for 30)

I sold 4 m4 midcaps to my brother for £10 EACH 😀 realised it was too much and took a tenner for them all.

If we wasn't related though it would have been fair game.

Sold it for €160 (gun + 2 mags + radio + 3 different headsets).

Feel a hair less bad

No sendes Backes?

It's a €11 barrel, a return would actually cost me more than keeping it

So no takes bakes lol

Airbrake? Won't get piston slap if the piston doesn't reach the end at full speed 🙂

No aribraked piston available, no updates on the Wasp and the SAP is apparently shit (the non nemo version for the standard cylinders).

The platform has potential, but everyone turned their attention to the SRS.

Sad, really.

HPA? You're limited to 1J aren't you so you'd get a day out of a 12G CO2 cartridge lol.

The SRS platform is well worth the input though 😉 (I'm not biased at all).

brilliant! ha

It sounds like a toddler getting a face tattoo...    🤣

Brilliant, that made me laugh

Sounds like my wife....

@PT247 it's on the italian forums, guy was asking what was a good GBBP, told him TM or gtfo (with a very detailed explanation too), he chose gtfo.

Can't wait for him to come back and cry because his gbb can't dump a mag

I know it does, but apart from one thing everything else has vanished.

Meanwhile my colleague is getting all his stuff delivered less than a week after the order 😕

In a similar vein, ordered x5 products from overseas (HK / RU & Germany), all have RM tracking - All left their country of origin around 3 weeks ago (pre lockdown) but zero updates apart all from all showing in transit on RM Tracking & eBay

1 delivered, 4 more to go.

No news from customs though.

I have spent many a day sitting in front of AutoCAD.

Maybe they just have a backlog

Hope so.

I don't want to end up paying a Visionking scope more than a Vortex one tbf.

That cunt eBay seller declared a €1 value on the package.

That's why it's stuck in customs.

Waiting for a letter so I can send my Paypal receipt...

I was lucky that mine was booked in a few weeks ago, just prior to social distancing and school closures. There was lots of hand sanitiaser available to use every time you got a coffee from the machine or picked up packet of biscuits.

Was talking about the mechanics wearing surgical masks, gloves and being dressed in white painter suits rather than the usual mechanic fatigues xD

The garage itself was empty so I got in and out in just 20 minutes

Now I need to service my LPG tank, and it's gonna be a pain in the ass as the revision centre is closed...

Heh. it sucks, but I guess I have some time to fix stuff and start crafting my ghillies :)

Remove the temptation, send it to me!

They're all gone in taxes already -.-

"Seemed to remember it being a woman and in a video clip."

Full disclosure, I know full well which one you mean, but I loves me a good debunking.

This 'un is real:

This is how deep down the drain we have gone as a civilization.

i dont think some of us can see the light anymore! 

What specifically was wrong with it?

Was he running it on nimh or lipo?

Overall performance wasn't impressive.

Range was the main issue, I know it's an AEP and that the box has some quirks because of that. But having to overhop rather heavily to reach 30 metres seems a little excessive to me. I know it's meant to be a fancy electric pistol, but come on.

Also because of the tiny cylinder 0.20s were as slow as the 0.4s I load in my Striker (1J build, you get the idea)

I think he was using a LiPo because the trigger was rather snappy for an aep box and the rof was actually decent, not sure though, I'll ask.

I love the looks, but it doesn't justify the €300ish price tag.

the box has some evident limitations, so why an AEP instead of a GBB?

You get a much snappier trigger, you can actually use a decent bb weight and you have the fun factor of the recoil impulse. Plus the huge magazines help a lot with gas efficiency...

I have also just watched a p*'d skorpion m video. That's what the stock one should perform like.

Thanks.  And I agree that it's a CQB gun: using it at range is a bit Quixotic.

A g19 would've been better (more compact) but hey.

I'll try to fix the mag tonight and see what happens.

Made a thread about it, so I can figure out what needs to be done

I can do whatever I want with the gun even if I haven't bought it yet!
