It is confirmed that Italy is a 5th world country.
Postman came with the optic and the customs bill (€30 for keeping the parcel for a whole fucking month, basically a scam).
Handed the money, was about to open the package when the postman came back, gave me the money and told me he couldn't hand the package.
The reason is that the post office employees don't accept cash because they are afraid of catching the virus.
So now I have to wait 2 days and literally hand the cash directly to the office employees (the ones who can't take cash).
What the fuck.
What a fucking shit 15th world country.

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.

A fully upgraded SRS will equal a fully upgraded VSR in terms of performance, there is just so much one can upgrade and the hard cap still remains the ammunition used. The SRS has more air volume (joule creep) but has an awkward bolt pull and magazines are shit (huge, wonky to insert/remove, meh capacity for the size), very compact size and looks great, it's very popular now thanks to KM&friends. Offers outstanding quality right from the box, although it suffers from TM recoil syndrome. People just chuck out the good parts and replace them with same quality parts (butitsupgreededreeeeeee). A VSR, depending on what base you get, can be a bit flimsy and most clones have a smaller cylinder volume than the original (TM). Not by much but still, and it's addressed easily by just replacing the cylinder. The true master race of sniper rifles. Building one from scratch will teach you a thing or two about what makes a good sniper rifle, plus there are a lot of diy mods you can do for pennies. I would avoid pReUpGrEiDuD ones, I'd go for a 2nd hand, you can save some money and get yourself a great "base". Just be aware of those "X is broken but it's a quick fix, I just need money for my krytac" ads.

Just before you go full ham on springs, check the joules with the weight you're going to use.

Man I knew I should have picked this bargain instead of buying one NEW for €220.....

Everyone assumes that throwing a fuckton of money at a gun it's gonna make it better.. truth is, most of the times the improvement is barely noticeable, but the hole in your wallet definitely is. Also don't trust YT builds, most of them are faff and eye candy. Like, most DSG "builds" just show a lower receiver with a battery in. Have yet to see someone showcase consistency and range tests with a DSG.

Guess what, they're still meh

So, you sold a VFC because it's meh, and now you want another VFC?

Yeah, as the piston is €31,90 from any regular retailer i wonder if anyone's stupid enough to click "buy now"

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)

Eyelids are more than enough protection, you pussy.

Nice, although you could have gone for a 2 belt system, one inner lined with male velcro and one outer (2 layers) with female. Just like the FRV one. This way you can still use the outer belt as a standalone (female velcro is the loop one, so it doesn't shred your clothing) and there will be zero rotation as the whole system grips on your trousers belt loops

Guys.
If you were to make the ugliest M4 you've ever seen, so ugly not even throwing it in a roaring fire would fix it, how would do that?
I need suggestions!

Ares Amoeba Striker AS-01/AS-02 Owners Thread
Skara replied to Solly4568's topic in Single Action Guns
Why not? -
I believe it comes down to the muzzle end of the barrel with its porting. In theory it creates a cushion of air to reduce external influence when the BB leaves the barrel, but it requires an overvolumed gun to do its thing (it's the main reason it's so popular with GBBs as they're overvolumed by default). I'd say it's a more affordable option than EdGi and PDI. I also heard some QC issues about the latter with their latest batches... or was it Prometheus? 😕

Ares Amoeba Striker AS-01/AS-02 Owners Thread
Skara replied to Solly4568's topic in Single Action Guns

Double Eagle M904g – Aka the Original Q Honey Badger
Skara replied to mightyjebus's topic in AEG/GBBR Reviews
Same. I just hope it's not like the Ares EFCS (read proprietary piece of shit that can't be swapped with anything else without having to buy and dremel a whole new box shell). -
As with all things, fuck ups happen because users tend to rush things.

Put an advert for my am009 on the team's WhatsApp chat with a stupid high price for it (€150).
One guy now wants it.
Am I elegible for Macks?

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)

Went for XT-60s in the end. If they turn out to be crap I'll switch to Deans (and use them connectors for something else) Thanks @Lozart and @EDcase for your insight

A tdc imo is mandatory on bolt actions and should be the standard. Bolt actions need all the consistency they can get and as of now there is nothing that gives the same consistent pressure as a tdc. If you think about it, most chambers have some kind leverage and particularly on VSRs the arm tends to apply uneven pressure (often to the right side, resulting in the famous VSR hooks). With a tdc this doesn't happen as it's literally a screw that applies pressure directly where the tensioner (and hop rubber patch) is. Adjusting the hop on the fly can be useful in some situations (e.g. A particularly long shot) but the external lever can be knocked off unintentionally (I had it happen quite a few times when I had the vsr). Get a 60° rubber tops, you'll never wear it out as much as with an AEG and certainly helps during the colder months. Plus a softer rubber will require less pressure which in turn results in less stress to the hop components.
