Never played at a site where ricochet count, but i am pretty damn sure i have taken hits from drops of rain before, cause you are never quiet sure.

Thank you didn't know about this function. Hail Satan?

KWA doesn't have the functionality of TM and Bolt have serious build quality/reliability issues.

I bought a 3D printable file for a mini 14 receiver the plan is to cast it and make a semi auto HPA with a CO2 internal tank.

I have had several when i was younger i got bored quickly with airsoft guns ( who am i kidding still do) and sold them. Kicker was bought them for practically nothing and sold them just as cheap. It hurts seeing what they go for now.

WE GBBR Pulse Rifle HFC GBB VP70 KTW Ithaca there is a theme here

Octagon are legit just slow.

Cost. TM did produce SPAS 12 with stock in limited numbers many years ago. when they come up for sale it's a high price ever so often. there is an after market stock but last time i saw one it was £150 before shipping.

Most certainly do able, but you will need to fabricate upper receiver, gas port, you could just create a shroud and use a cut down mid cap (so no new feeding system) you will most likely need to hack up a wood M14 stock(real steel surplus is relatively cheap), you might be able to keep/modify the trigger guard. So you can keep gearbox, outer/ inner barrel, hop unit and lower assembly. All the shapes look relatively simple and you could cold hammer them out of aluminium or cad design and 3d print the upper receiver. This a lot for a novice. But you got to start somewhere.

There is a set of files for sale on Etsy for the SMG that are based around a V3 gearbox. It even includes files for top feeding mags.

Complete right but we need a organisation with teeth capable of achieving protection for airsoft. We are still at a point that everything could be taken away by a Home Sectary we need written law for Airsoft.

You have much more effectively said what should be happening than my "step up". They have utterly failed to justify their existence and i agree that no money should be sitting in a PayPal account. I did not bring up the white paper i was just responding to that and yes they don't fight cases (again don't seem to do anything) but a functioning players association should be doing that and to do that or even operating/maintain a members date/base web sit could eat significant funds. I will stand by my assertion that cash reserves of 20k is nothing and not disingenuous, yes I am dealing in what ifs as if they were actually functioning that money could be spent very quickly on legitimate expanses.

£200ish maybe, despite whats been done to it and by whom it's still a plastic JG. Who worked on it and how much they charged is irrelevant.

UKAPU does need to step up to justify it's existence, but to all those people complaining that they have all that money in savings, for a nation wide representative body 20k is nothing. To actually be effective they should have reserve fund multiple times that. If they were to actually have to fight a legal case or fund a white paper that money could be spent in a matter weeks, hell cost of lawyers could burn through that in days.

Wonderland models? Got my first Springer.

That is a crime against humanity doubly so with the M1. Problem is that's actually a good price. some how WA2000s are grand new these days.

Always try to get my head around we airsofters balk at green fees yet spend thousands on gun/gear I can't think of many all day activities that cost less than airsoft green fees (£36 would last you maybe two rounds for four people in the pub these days.

Less money about but also other priorities come a long, which has been the case as long a I can remember. I have been going to my current local site going on 14 years there are maybe 2 or 3 other people been going longer than me and doesn't include the current owner( slightly worried i have no life).

Take this with a pinch of salt but I think the KJWs USP is a Tanaka clone it might be worth searching for Tanaka dissambly guides.

Would be interested in a heat shield to fit in my pulse rifle.

Not as good as the TM ones and they are not as well built. it's not worth getting WE mags for the sake of a few quid difference.

The High Capa is vastly superior to the Tac Master M9. The Tac Master M9 is the version 1 design which maybe late 90s design ( all TM designated M92F as well). If you want a TM M9 you need to get a M9A1 or M9 they are much more modern design (newer than the HI Capa) with a better blow back system and hop unit. The Hi Capa has a much more after market support as is far more customisable with more parts availability compared to the M9/M9A1. Performance wise they are as good as each other ( i couldn't really tell the difference). the base Hi Capas are cheaper than the M9/M9A1. Never had a Hi Capa break on me the M9 right hand side decocker stopped working after a while the left hand side still worked and the right still acted as a safety. The more practical choice is the Hi Capa but i prefer the M9 and yes all TM M9/M92F mags are cross compatible..

Girth is always more important!
