So got a JG MP5k with the upper receiver that's cracked do decided to convert it to an A2. And bought a ICS receiver not realising the MP5K had V3 gearBox not a v2. So anyway can't find an ics v2 shell for love nor money so I want to know is there any issues with using some other manufactures v2 shell?

do you know how to strip it? if so check to see if there is any silicon oil on it. i recently bought a TM USP which was sticking i found out it was bone dry and issues were sorted when i lubed the piston and the hammer mech.

Total an accident unless the shooter was using the weapon in a way that would obscure their peripheral vision.

Yep it would be nice. except my case I know it was said in the brief they just didn't listen.

They have exactly the same trigger mechanisms as the m1911A1 and the series 70s and warriors. The physical triggers vary in depth which could make the trigger feel more sensitive but they still have the same amount of travel. Or could be just a case of different levels of wear on the mech.

Most likely answer they would get vandalised with a couple of days being put up at any wood land site. Any on line booking system should have terms and conditions which include site rules but let's be honest about that no one reads them. Only way to get rules to be inforced is to have a Marshall team that knows the rules and are out in game enforcing them. If you are ever at section 8 you will occasionally hear my sweet voice bellowing the rules to everyone in game if I find some one breaking them.

the double stack mag is the only major difference between Hi Capa and 1911 mechanically and what makes all the difference performance wise.

The updated 1911 is the M45A1 and v10 ultra compact. As said every other 1911 are internally the same. Also all the 1911s are good skirmish guns they are just not winter guns.

Prices for airsoft can vary so much from one shop to another. So most of the time when they say what they paid for it i believe them. I do shake my head, say poor sod got ripped they should of done their research and they'll never get their asking price.

Site I play at blind firing is classed as not having a clear line of sight . So no shooting round corner, through/over obstacles and the gun can not obscure your view I.e having the receiver level with your head so that you can't see to the left/right. Or bassicll you want to shoot at something you should present a traget to be shot at.

if you are not in the UK already and have some proof you play airsoft such as UKARA you can't. unless you are willing to paint them 51% blue to make them Imation Firearms.

Poor design, poor qc. Personal experience with the Korth. It barely cycled and hand no range.

Right as a middle aged person can I just clarify. Some one shouting out take your hit is as bad as no hit takers yes? I would say it's worse as its much more common than non hit taking and can ruin a game atmosphere as the belief that the other team are not taking their hits can spread quickly.

If you want to go over the top there Is the swordfish kit https://www.amazon.co.uk/Airsoft-Parts-Swordfish-Conversion-Strike/dp/B08737Z3YP

Unless you are including the original parts total cost of parts isn't really good starting point. Also cost of labour doesn't mean anything. Sounds like whole package was about £900/£1000 in total? Unless you really need the money keep it. Upgraded guns don't hold their value as well as so you'd probably get maybe £5/600 for it possibly less. If you looking in the sales section there are a few TM recoils not shifting.

What else has been done to it? As 345 is well over what a stock TM can do. I would add put the stock rail back and sell the Dytac RAHG rail separately.

Still restricted air flow. i have observed many people play in gas masks in varying levels of function and they have always ditched them in quick order. same with cosplayers actually gas masks aren't really meant to be worn for long periods of time.

you could replace the lenses with thick polycarbonate sheet. would require a bit of testing and you would never be sure you could trust them. Also trying to do any sort of activity in a gas mask gets deeply unpleasant quickly. Many have tried most have realised it was a bad idea.

2 second google https://www.fire-support.co.uk/product/ics-hi-capa-challenger-gbb-pistol-black unless you are wanting a second hand one? then you are in the wrong section there is a wanted section in the sales section of the forum. Also £215 they better be the best pistol on the market rather than the garbage ICSs other pistols general are.

Personal I would say unless a wooden part is factory fitted assume it will not be a straight fit and be prepared to do some sanding.

Its not really easy. Gearboxes are either front or rear wired. Yours should be rear wired if it's a solid stock gun but you may luck out and it's front wired for some reason. To do it properly you need to open the gearbox and redirect the wiring into the front of the gearbox. If you can solder you could make a extension to run to the front if the gun but you maybe struggling for room.

Best bet will be ebay USA for a second hand one. Due to capacity limits in the UK doubt any UK firearms shop would ever of have them in stock.

It is all over the place. There are at least 4 or 5 wholesalers in the UK and a some of those will be buying from a eroupean wholesaler, who buy from an Asian wholesaler, who buy from the manufacture. So you can so I can easily see why price differs so much between shops. There is most certainly some piss taking with prices but most shops need a 30 to 40% mark up from wholesale to make it worth their while selling products. I'll bet some of these prices are maybe 5% to 10% mark up just to get them out the door.

It maybe gouging or just economies of scale bought at the right time or bought enough from the importer to hit the price point.

most likely yes its poor QC but could be excessive wear. if it works just except what it is a don't buy a WE Hi capa next time. the only way to fix it is to spend more on replacement parts than just buying a new one.
