Any photos? Swapped to https://trittech-us.com/en-gb/products/air-raiders few years ago now. Not had an issue since and I could FOG a DYE Mask.

The machinist that was OEM for Inokatsu M4 line decided for whatever reason to end ties with them in 2014 and started selling direct under the Vipertech Brand. Think that sadly sunk them. Not sure who made the pistols though.

Years ago a shop called Airsoft Dynamics did the same thing in this country. Had someone living in Akihabara Japan that would drop ship most of the stuff to them. If Boom Arms is anywhere near Kwong Wah Street in Hong Kong he will have about 30 places to source stock from most of whom do not have an English presence on the internet.

If you already have it, its easy to tell by the flat or slant back.

MILSPEC tube. Commercial are slightly wider. Buffer tubes are not expensive and it will come off the mount if you have compatibility issues.

For anyone so inclined you can get a product from Plastidip that you paint on the pick and pluck and sets it rock sold. Its like a layer of pleather that seals it all together. Never been a fan of shadow foam myself after trying it for tool storage if water gets into the membrane it seems to stay wet forever.

If I was you I would jump on Reddit or ARF and have a search on the cloner gun forums. Its a big thing in the US gun community building retro clones. Example https://www.reddit.com/r/MilitaryARClones/comments/1ai701w/arms_50_m_rail/ they buying and selling for 800-900 US.

Try https://parcelsapp.com/ pulls from just about everywhere and seems to show every time its digitally scanned into a system unlike Royal Mails. Hope its of some help.

The less propellant you have to use to send the BB down the barrel the more that can be utilised to push the action rearward.

Welcome. Get ready to be the "coolest parent" on the block :P.

24hrs unless "can this wait till payday" conversation happened. Fuck um, I would not give it another thought mate.

How are people experiences with AliExpress? After reading this thread I went back and I had 17 total orders over the £135 threshold in 2024 and never paid tax or duty on any of them. Maybe because they have so many going through that have paid tax at point of sale? or was I just extremely lucky?

On Chrome, Windows 10. No issues here. Have you tried turning it off then on again?

Large zip tie works fine until a replacement can be found.

Welcome to the forum and hobby. Another old git here (41) been playing since I was 19. Been to sights all over the world solo most of the time, you will make pals very quickly. Tell people you are new, ask about the kit they use and you will have new best friends in no time.

https://parcelsapp.com/ I find better to use in most cases. Shows detailed information not usually listed on the contracted carrier. Might be worth a look.

I love me a GBB. Pistol is still a GBB but after finding a good deal on here moved over to the DAS GDR15. Picked up two more since. Light magazines with up to 120 rounds all the fun of a GBB without the cool down or gas faff. Trigger took some time to get used to and mags are still a ball bag to fill but love it to death. Can get adapters that let you run off air tanks and whatever magazines you like (even shot shells) https://airtac.me/ my non gay life partner runs his this way and has loads of fun on walk on days. I think it takes all the fun manual of arms away but no denying it, mag dumping a 300 high cap gives one a semi. Tokyo Marui NGRS systems are really good. They have slight recoil and empty magazine detection so using them is fun. Really good hop and very reliable.

https://www.umarex.com/products/airguns/brands/heckler-koch.html "UMAREX is the world’s largest manufacturer of over-the-counter firearm replicas and the largest importer of air guns in Europe. Founded in 1972, the mid-sized company is now run by the second generation of the two founding families. It has approximately 1,000 employees worldwide. The key to the company’s success has been the acquisition of licenses to build replicas of well-known weapons, which then can be sold without restrictions. Umarex currently holds licenses for the brands Beretta, Browning, Colt, GLOCK, Heckler & Koch, Ruger, Smith & Wesson, IWI and Walther." Not sure where you are getting the parts difference from any info you could link to please?

Yup trade mark thing. Stuff marketed to the EU that does not want to pay dues to Umarex.

I could be wrong but the URGI rail is MLOK and not KEYMOD. Kyle, if you could let us know the make and modal of the gun or post a better image of the rail so we can identify it.

My takeaway from this is that I would have never thought a company as I presume as big as Wolverine would not have a range in the R&D department and instead just go out in the car park to test fire.

Have a good way to carry the hop allen key as the rubber beds in so you don't lose it. Something to load the mags that does not become a ball ache, I recommend the EMG electric speed loader. Grease is not a big issue, I paid huge amounts for aeroshell when honestly white lithium is fine. Use the heaviest BB's you can afford. When done for the day press the thing in the image it removes tension on a spring.

From my experience the only reason to changeout the Hop Unit is for ease of adjustment as the Maple Leaf has a wheel on the bottom rather than having to take the barrel out. Only real "upgrade" (if already using .4g BB) I feel is the steel trigger locater. Even when it comes to the Co2 nozzle it seems to be more fragile, gone through over 50 Co3 bulbs on the standard nozzle where as the Co2 nozzle loading arm broke off after about 5 mags.

The ones you have look to be a copy of the Mark 2.0 adapters https://www.tactical-kit.co.uk/unity-mark-20-modular-attach-rail-kit-35309-p.asp which are listed as both fitting the normal arc rails https://www.galvion.com/products/caiman-ballistic-helmet-system and the Viper arc rails https://www.galvion.com/products/viper-interlocking-long-rails . The one you have is a copy of the skeletonized rails that come with the Caiman are prone to being out of spec on the real one. Users of the real ones have the same issues you are having. So if they are to tight they file the adapters until fitting or if loose buy ARC rails.
