A helpful hint for those looking to order that I've just figured out. If it says "1 in stock" or however many they have under the picture on the product page, it means they've actually got it ready to ship. If it doesn't have anything under the photo it means they're selling them on backorder which I think is the practice that really causes the vast majority of issues people have with this retailer. I think they really shoot themselves in the foot selling stock they haven't received yet without telling you as much because it makes them seem untrustworthy. I think they'd find if they just said "available on backorder" people would still order for the good prices but have far greater patience when it takes an unspecified time to arrive. Airsoft World also sell on backorder with flexible estimates but by and large they have relatively good reviews because you are made fully aware of the conditions of sale.

I've missed something, what's the FOW?

I realise this was posted a while ago but I'll respond anyway. I sent mine back immediately on arrival. It was visibly not square, didn't fill the hop window, and was covered in flash. Very poorly produced 3D print with no QC. I got mine on the day of release though so maybe they've gotten better.

I'm new to GBBRs, with AEGs I normally just go softer because I've not had wear issues and you get more lift with less pressure. However my guess would be that softer rubbers are more affected by the temperature drop from the gas. Would I be right in guessing I should go as hard as possible for consistent hop?

For base plate leaking you want to check the o-ring on the long screw, and the large one than seals the bottom of the magazine. Lubricating them should fix your problem as others had said, but if they're damaged or brittle you will need to replace them. For that I suggest a set of thin o-rings, you can buy them cheaply from plenty of places. They don't have to be an exact match but don't go thinner, as long as you can close it up and it holds gas.

I've been using Geoffs Bio BBs more or less since I started airsoft which has included long breaks and using BBs that were several months old and I've never had this problem. In fact I've never had a jam on Geoffs, period.

TaiwanGun's got it but delivery fees are killers and they're not as cheap as, say, Bullseye Country Sport who stock it but are out. https://www.taiwangun.com/mosfet-wires/mosfet-perun-v2-optical-back-wired-perun?q=Perun+op&campaign-id=14 You could also give contacting Perun directly a punt, they responded in a day last time I emailed them.

I've got a repro B11 on my CM.045. I had to shim the block that goes into the receiver as well as that retention plate thing that presses against the front of the lower handguard. Most notably though I had to Dremel the tops of the bits that slot into the front handguard retention thing. Not plug and play but about half an hour's work all in and there's no wobble at all. You might not be super happy with the results though because I found I had to decide between an unusually large gap between upper and lower handguard or the bottom of the lower handguard not lining up with the bottom of the receiver. I think the end result looks good but if you stare at it you'll notice the gap. I can't tell you if it's because I got a repro.

For nice trigger response but sensible ROF I would suggest standard 18:1 gearing, 11.1V lipo, optical MOSFET with precocking. I like the Perun one in my AK74SU. Does about 22 RPS but retains a snappy semi aided by a short light trigger pull.

Still can't seem to find anything indicating it's illegal to refill. The only thing I found is that it's illegal to refill a rented gas bottle from an LPG pump on a garage forecourt. This is very specific, quite irrelevant and also something that Google loves to serve up so much that all potentially useful results are buried in it. I guess my Google-fu is weak. Something that occurred to me as I was searching around is if I DID manage to turn up something that said it's illegal for unqualified unlicensed uninformed types to refill one propane container from another, wouldn't that render refilling airsoft magazines illegal? Not a can of worms I'm sure anyone is keen to open but as I say, I can't find any sources to suggest this is anything worse than just ill-advised and, depending on what forum post you land on, anything from completely fine to utterly life-threatening. Another thing I thought was interesting is that green gas has been proven to just be propane with silicone added, so why don't our airsoft bottles come with the welding gas safety features (thicker metal, pressure release valve)?

Decent looking Nuprol Delta: Nomad Alpha for £120 on there. Seems a decent price for aluminium receiver, QC spring, microswitch and functional bolt release. Also an S&T TAR21 for £190.

Huh! I got suckered then thought I was paying for pure propane, I'll make sure to check the data sheet next time and avoid refilling this one. Thanks!

Pretty sure those ones are pure propane because they do a cheaper bottle for butane mix, should be fine.

Do you know if it has to be Coleman? I have these for my travel BBQ, https://www.toolstation.com/propane-gas-cylinder/p13125 They've got the pressure release valve which I think is the only thing you really need for safety on the bottle, right?

Really good idea with the in ear moulds, I have some of the heat mouldable plastic lying around from a previous project. What did you do to get a hole running through? Drill it or put something in it to keep it open? Also did you find the Racals could self tap their thread or did you need to mould them in too?

I hear that it's cheaper to use camping propane bottles (e.g. Colemans) than green gas. At the moment that's not true because of bulk buy deals Patrol Base regularly do. However this assumes you're buying them from somewhere like GO Outdoors when I think what is actually happening is that people are filling them from larger bottles. What I can't seem to work out is if this is actually safe and legal to do, any tips?

My regular site is doing a deal every day during lockdown, could be worth keeping eyes on. I wouldn't buy Raven for any amount of money but there's a limit to how wrong you can go with a G18C for £68 (today's deal), https://www.battleairsoft.co.uk/deal-of-the-day

10% off at BZTactical for orders over £100 with code HALLOWEEN until the end of the weekend. https://www.bztactical.co.uk/ Personally used it to get their ASG MP9 A1 which I reckon is a good deal because it's a low power version. Normally you need to shell out another £50 for a CQB bolt to make these skirmishable.

It's just that they're not a good fit. In particular they leave a worrying gap around the nose. I do like the style in general so I'm fishing for some alternatives to try. I'd thought of it but I think in a sunglasses style it'd really eat into your peripheral vision. On the Pyramex the spacer for the panes is in the frame and I don't know if you could retrofit that. I will keep it in mind though thanks.

Are there any sunglass style full seal goggles on the market that have dual pane lenses other than the Pyramex i-Forces? I've only been able to find single panes, seems like the i-Forces are just a unicorn.

You're right, it doesn't. In future, if any business tries this with you point out that the delivery contract is between the seller and the courier; it's their responsibility to ensure it arrives not yours.

It is; incidentally I found that the thing that quietened my A2 down the most was the Rapax spring. Don't particularly understand why, it just did. Note it wasn't loud to begin with but now it's just a tiny pop.
