  1. Apparently there are 2 versions of the AA chamber, one that only fits the AS01 (long barrel) which is the older one, and the newer one that fits the AS02 and the shorter AS01 barrels. No idea how to tell them apart though.
  2. Alright.

    Time to spend some more beer tokens on airsoft.

     

    Problem is, what do I want/need? 🤔

  3. Iirc the short aftermarket barrels require some filing to accept the AA hop chamber.
  4. Striker as02, stock 6.03x300 barrel, bioval .3s. I am getting a crazy jet next week.
  5. quick dumb question: why is my bolt action louder when there is a bb in the chamber? It's really quiet and muffled when dry firing, but when a bb is chambered it suddenly becomes loud AF (to me, maybe it's still quiet towards the target, haven't tested yet).
  6. Would door stops make a good dampening pad for a cylinder?

      If you’re dead set on trying hard rubber like door stop - go to screwfix and get 1/2” flat tap washers  . 

  7. Hot glueing netting.

     

     

     

    Please kill me.

      Yes, your assumption is correct.

      I could have used shoe glue, but I didn't have any around.

      I found hot glue to be quite fast too compared to my old method of attaching netting (tons and tons of zip ties).

       

      For my next project I'll make sure to have some shoe glue around, so I can experiment with that as well :)

      I love the stuff, I also use it as a crude waterproofing material for certain projects along seems that need extra strength! Dude you need amazon prime ;)

      Heh. I had a prime subscription, then cancelled it because of two reasons:

      Don't like how Amazon treats workers (especially here in Italy, there have been reports of almost slavery conditions) and I don't use it enough to justify the fee, even if it's small, I order maybe once or twice a year from there. 2019 has been an exception as some of the products I got from Amazon I couldn't find elsewhere..

  8. I wonder if GBB makers have ever thought of an expansion chamber somewhere to reduce cool down, especially on pistols..

      tbh i'm not sure it'd help all that much, at some point you're going to be relying on the liquid boiling to replenish itself, although granted i have shot one of those maruzen m11's and it was pretty impressive (at least compared to asg's more conventionally designed m11)

       

      for winter co2 is the better option, although granted co2 mags come with their own set of problems.

       

      i tend to just avoid spamming when running a pistol, that's what rifles are for, never really use more than a couple of shots per engagement, for range work you're better taking time to get a good aim anyway.

      I don't think mags get a decent seal on the gun in order to have such a chamber (thinking of how Co2 Caplets work with airgun valves - it would have to be built into the mag I suppose so a space issue... just my 50p's worth of grey matter)

  9. Yes, but be aware that the stock bushings are terrible, you may want to replace them asap just in case.. Mine were completely gone in less than 5000 bbs fired.. By the way, I just picked up a barrel extension, a rmr riser, a couple of sling mounts and a sling plate. Next week it'll be time for a new outer barrel and a bit of a lathe work on a suppressor..
  10. You're gonna have fun with it at least I have a lot of fun with mine
  11. Should've gone for the prommy. At least I've had bad experiences with G&G greens, they don't fit every hop chamber/barrel..
  12. to lower the sound signature, on mine it's a really strong twang even if I only run a guarder SP100 (gives me 0.99J with .2s to stay within the limit). Will also do the heat shrink and beer can mods to reduce the spring vibration.
  13. + shipping to Italy and 10 days delivery hoping the package doesn't get lost. Also they are out of stock was looking for a more homemade solution, I guess for now neoprene will have to do.
  14. Anyone using any dampening material on piston/cylinder head? Would neoprene be a valid alternative to the extremely expensive sorbothane? Need to reduce the noise AND reduce the cylinder volume (mainly to reduce the noise).
  15. Good day of airsoft, although I'm not really happy with a plastic holster on my hip.

    Need to craft an armpit holster or move my dtd on a chest rig somehow.

      Left shoulder is pretty handy if you can fit it there

      I'm gonna try to place the holster at my 4/5 o'clock on the belt for now and see what happens, should be out of the way if I need to rest on one side to take a shot, meanwhile I'll be looking for an alternative, more definitive solution

  17. Picture of the assembled thing? Just so we can see what kind of weight it had to bear.
  18. Took midcaps out for a spin, holy cow they're fun to use :) almost forgot what "fun" means in airsoft :)

     

    Also took the ssx out and it performed nicely, somewhat quiet even without the suppressor 😕

    Did have one double feed, but that's because I cocked the gun and de-cocked it again to holster it.
    range is stupid Btw, outranged everything. By a far margin. With stupid good accuracy.

      Midcaps is bestest caps. Only guns that should have clockwork in the magazine are support guns.

      ARP was made for the drum mag AND visa versa ! 👍

  19. Sometimes I hop onto the old italian forum to see if anyone's still posting.

     

    Every time I get surprised by the human stupidity.

      Not a lot of activity on them , and what there is comes from the shallow end of the gene pool ?

      What forum is that?

      Only a handful of users left and they are definitely not smart ones.

       

      Mods think they have the supreme knowledge of airsoft and they shit quite hard on new users who try to gather information on the game.

       

      Forum layout doesn't help either as it's really chaotic

       

      Btw it's SAM (soft air mania).

  20. Airsoftfacepro, you should find him on facebook
  21. speedsoft doesn't exist here, we're all a bunch of super tacticool, SF wannabes. Running around in lycra will surely piss a lot of people off p.s. agree, i'd rather be in jeans, but the meme potential is sooooooo tempting
  22. Same, I'd like a speedsoft loadout for the memes
  23. Nice! I have a Ticket To The Moon hammock that I use for my bushcraft adventures I just need a nice DD 3x3 tarp to complement it Meanwhile I just picked up a Tasmanian Tiger laser cut belt in Coyote Brown for my new sniper loadout https://www.tasmaniantiger.info/en/product/tt-hyp-belt-30mm/
  24. Just placed an order for the SSX 23, extra mag, DTD holster and paddle mount. Should be here by Monday/Tuesday now I just need a suppressor
  25. So, my birthday is coming on Monday and I'm thinking about a new purchase.

    So far the choices are:

    -Mancraft kit for the striker

    -HPA kit for my main m4 (Ares am 009)

     

    I was also considering a sidearm.

     

    Any suggestions?

      Why go with a sidearm when you can go for a primary side arm? KSC Auto 9.
