Got me some stickers and some Plasti Dip for the tired pick and pluck foam in my gun case. Killed hotel boredom for a bit and gave it some life.

If you are plinking go with the GHK. Swap the valve out to a Co2 one, get yourself a Sodastream adapter and direct fill Co2 into the mag (AKA devil hunter mod). Replace the chamber base to steel and drop a M4 carbine buffer spring in. Best recoil I have felt without powder and will empty a mag in FA with snow on the ground like a sowing machine. GHK trigger break and reset is very good if a little light (around 3lb) can get after market springs but if only plinking bending the legs of the spring should suffice if you want to change the weight of the trigger. If you can build a real AR you can build a GHK https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QiDD-aCMH84&ab_channel=JeffieJeff'sAirsoft https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cHyIIuYWMlw&ab_channel=A'jvi https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=It0o9i7xGnY&ab_channel=TOTALRECOILAIRSOFT

Flip it the other way?

Go to the Gun Mall in Mong Kok, got like 10 shops that sell world wide JK, P-X, Bang Bang, Den ETC then another 5-10 Airsoft/Modal shops that do not have a web presence in English. Get yourself a KABO Burger as you walk round. If you go to one of the big shops just get them to ship the gun home for you if you find one you like. I am sure you will enjoy the 8hrs, I was born in Kowloon Bay when it was still a British colony and have been back many times and love it. Maps link

Taginn sold one very briefly but went off the website a while ago. Can only see it being practical at events but must admit the thought of calling in arty does wet the willy.

Do I really want another "M4"? Probably. Nice to see some of our lads getting a lighter weapon system with all the bells and whistles. Source

Hands down best one, used it for over 2 years almost every weekend still going strong. https://core-airsoft.com/product/co2-filler/ Edit: looks like he out of the adapters. Bet if you msg him he will make you one to order though. https://core-airsoft.com/product/sodaconversion/

Tried BZ Tactical Rebel BBs in .32 and .36. They have ran flawlessly in my two guns that are fussy. GHK & GBLS M4s. I am convert.

Its cheap entry level stuff but will hold up if just carrying a few AEG magazines. If going cheap might as well get a good deal. This one tax is paid at checkout and has free shipping, about £20 all in https://www.aliexpress.com/item/4000116890294.html?

As other have said I think your best best is mounting something to a helmet so it will keep it off your face. Something like a replica opscore helmet and mandible. Can get the drill out and poke it full of holes and stick a mesh cover on to help with the heat or even install some fans to keep cool air moving over your skin. Good luck mate really hope you solve the issue.

This guy uses visual aids and explains stuff very well

I carry a BFG IFAK with the supplied kit just in case someone starts bleeding I can use the bandages to clean up my sick while checking the area for potential dangers/hazards while bringing the accident to everyone's attention.

Or this

Do you not just unscrew the arc rails and suspension, add the cover and then re-assemble? Looks to me like the cover uses the screw holes as mounting points.

Lies!! M83/SAAV was the start of "tacticool" and will fight any child of 3-6 years of age that says otherwise!

Good stuff. You get the valve sorted?

Swap the release valve over to another mag and test. If all good swap the gas router (the rubber bit on top) and test again. It should be one of these parts giving you the issue. The router can be shimmed and a sticky valve can be cleaned. Let me know if you find the offending part.

Gas block will fit something like the SMR Rail but will need the sling loops removed from the gas block.

Wow that Flash Bang is awesome. Looks very real but am sure its just the vaper like with these things https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ac8MOmBb6mk&ab_channel=OSReviews

The inner diameter of the barrel has 0 effect on accuracy (unless you went smaller than 6 or maybe 7mm plus) as the BB rides along the air pocket and never touches it anyway. What it does do is use the air more efficiently. So a tighter barrel in most cases will increase FPS. The quality of the bore, how straight the barrel is and the patch window is what you want to look out for in my opinion. I like the rubbers you mention to, have had good results with the Maple Leaf stainless coated ones as the cut out for the patch fits perfect. That being said when I had a Tippman I was very happy with the lambda 01 stainless steel, Prometheus are good to go as well. Watch out for the lips on the rubber they might need a smidge off the feeding tube side if jamming/feeding issues. Other than that with the TDC think you will have a very fun gun to play with.

Would help if you could be a bit more specific on what unit, branch or at least country. You have to take into account what the upper was made for that later turned into the full rifle. "A short-stroke piston (HK416) design is more reliable and suffers less from excessive fouling when paired up with a short barrel." So most of the time its primary use is a short barrel paired with a suppresser. If you want to build a 14.5 clone look at the Norwegian army as its their service rifle. Attached is an image of the ones in use by CAG AKA Delta Force.

Take a closer look https://www.imfdb.org/wiki/Predator_(1987) not seen a barrel mounted GL with that trigger group, as the WIKI says I think it was a 39mm flare launcher. Also think its an A1/AR15. The first Airsoft gun I bought from long defunct Airsoft Dynamics was a TM M16A1 with a Tri Shot GL launcher. Was lovely even with the 3 part barrel. I say you should trust the beer and have at it.
