Do you mean the tip rather than the main body?
The main body, it doesn't slide into the magazine as it should it gets jammed.

Weird question but has anyone found a brand of CO2 cartridges that are slim? I'm aware they're supposed to be standard but I'm having trouble finding ones that don't get stuck in my WE magazines.

Yeah, I've ordered a few times from KY including parts and RiFs and got them without issue. (Of course its always possible for things to go wrong)
You do have to be prepared to wait as it can take up to a month to get to your door.
I suppose one thing that would particularly scare me is if it arrived shooting too hot. Do you know if KY are bad for that?

There is physical stock that may not be listed online. Someone may have a lead on what you want here in the UK already.
I'm after a WE R5C GBBR; their little PDW stocked honey badger-ish thing. The 5.56 one not their new PCC thing.

I appreciate the advice of just doing it, I agree it'll probably be fine; I'm still not comfortable doing it. I might try Zero One but knowing their prices I wouldn't be surprised if they wanted to double the price.

I want to pick up a GBBR that I can't get in the UK from KYAirsoft. I really hate the laws around importing and the horror stories of dealing with clueless customs even with UKARA. I figure retailers have to deal with this all the time so I wonder if I could just link them and ask them to pick it up so I can buy it off them for a mark-up or something like that. Anyone ever tried anything like that and cares to share a retailer that's amenable to it?

My CYMA M9 works fine! Granted it only puts out 230fps but it sprays pretty hard on lipos so people notice eventually!
This answers my question though so I will save myself a buck and stick to electric when it gets cold.

I won't lie I suck at irons and my pistol aim really is that bad the RMR has been a life saver 💩 Maybe I'll just accept that as soon as it gets to around 10C it's time to get out my AEP.

So my WE G18C is great but it's not cycling brilliantly even in moderately low temps (~10C) and using black gas only really helps down to about 5-7C. I'm frequently assured TMs are magic and work in low temps but I'm skeptical. I love the G18C and want to continue using one as my side arm; will going TM really help me keep cycling as temperatures drop?
Bonus question, I'm sure at least some of the low temp cycling is down to that plastic slide. I use an RMR on my G18C; if I add that to the slide is the extra weight going to kill the cycle?

Just as a counter point I've been using Geoffs natural (and super) BBs in my midcaps and gas guns since I started playing. I've never had one shatter or jam inside either. This isn't to discount your testing, I could believe they're more fragile than other brands, but perhaps not enough to cause actual issues.

Couple coats of clear coat paint is probably your cheapest option.
Any brand in particular for this? I've used this before, think it'd do?
-
Anyone who's had a black WE knows the paint job can rub off with photon pressure alone in direct sunlight. I've never seen such weak finishes. If you've got a new WE, is there a cheap and easy way to keep the paint on?
-
Just curious; I've been trying to get into the habit of posting a wanted ad when I think I'm going to be getting something to try and save a bit of cash. I've never gotten a response on them though, possibly because I'm cheap. Do you use the wanted section and have you been successful getting what you want from it?

Ares CCP for £125; I've got the CCC, great little pistol M4s. I particularly like the CCP for looking like a Warhammer 40k bolt pistol,

Yes, yes I know, bBgUnz4leZ but I've never actually had a problem with them and 20 cans of Nuprol 2.0 green gas for £100 is a good deal,
https://bbguns4less.co.uk/products/nuprol-2-0-airsoft-green-gas-300g-x-20-large-cans.html
I got it down to £95 because I was logged in and had it in my basket but didn't buy. The next day I got sent a 5% discount code.

Found a winner, thought I'd come back to share it. 20 cans of Nuprol 2.0 for £100. £95 if you login, put it in your basket, and don't return to their website for 24 hours; you'll get emailed a discount code. Free delivery,

Wonder if anyone's spotted any deals? I've experimented with straight up welder propane and MAPP and have decided I'm willing to pay for the privilege of not playing in a perpetual stink cloud of farts and dead fish.

Thought I'd come back and say what I went for; I couldn't find anything affordable that's purpose made but I found something to fit the space I've got well,
https://www.manomano.co.uk/p/filing-cabinet-with-4-shelves-black-7312915
The plan is to buy some grid mesh and use the slots for the adjustable shelves to mount them on the sides and back,
https://www.diy.com/departments/blooma-metal-wire-mesh-fencing-l-0-9m-w-0-6m/257072_BQ.prd
Then I'm hoping I can find various hooks and bits for hanging and separating I can mount onto the grid mesh. Later if I decide I need it I'll drill the doors and mount pegboard to it directly.

I was happy to wait for a bargain as I wasn't in a hurry. I could have had a 10 gun for £150 but decided I didn't need that much space.
Like you I found the cost of storage cabinets to be surprisingly high. If my collection grows a lot more I might look at something like this in the future:-
This sent me down an interesting rabbit hole; I checked FB and came across a guy selling a "saddle locker". Saddle/tack lockers are looking pretty damn close to what I'm after,
Definitely tall enough but possibly not enough volume to avoid just jumbling stuff together. The various mounting points look like you could do something clever with them though.

I shopped around for lockable cabinet on FB marketplace for a while and ended up with a 7 gun 'real gun' cabinet for £100. A bit over the top for what's needed really but it's big enough for me and a reasonable price for the size. Seriously heavy though.
I had contemplated actual gun safes, still an option but by and large they're small, expensive and, yes, heavy! £100 is a bargain for a 7 capacity one though!

What did you get? A lot of IKEA cupboards are unsuitable because of the paper thin backs.

It's going in the garage so steel is fine, I'll do DIY if I *have* to but I'm not handy and would rather get something fit for purpose. I could just about picture myself not screwing up bolting a pre-drilled board into the back of a cupboard though, will have a look for something suitable. Still interested in hearing about better prebuilt options!
-
So my collection has gotten big enough I'd like a decent sized, strong cabinet to store it all in. Preferably with lockable doors with additional storage in the doors. Not interested in wall hangings because I don't want to display everything for a visitor/neighbour to accidentally spot and get spooked by. A perforated tool cabinet looked like an interesting bet but veeerry expensive.
Anyone got any good ideas for strong, space efficient, discreet storage?
