Welcome to the club. If it was me I would buy good Eyepro first, nothing spoils a day of fun playing Cowboys and Indians when every 30 seconds you cant see due to fogging and the obvious hazards that come with having your vison impaired. In my experience people that share the same hobby love talking about it. Use the time before you buy to ask people about any kit you like the look of, 9 times out of 10 I bet they will let you have a go to.

Never say never right? But personally have never had an issue even ordering slide and frame sets and is 100% legal.

?

You want to check Non-standard baggage T&Cs and find the helpline. In my experience they will just treat any gun shaped objects like a real firearm and you will just have to go to the red point telephone before/after/during your departure and arrival. "Two Tone" is not a thing, they can argue its not "over 51%" (technically just changing the slide colour will not make the rep an "IF") and the last thing you want is to end up having to go off for examination. I would pick one of the acceptable colours and cover as much of the replica as possible. Thinking about it also take the valves out the mags as they can get iffy about pressurized containers they do not have the specs for on hand. "Weapons designed or adapted to discharge other missiles including airsoft darts are not considered to be airsoft weapons. They are considered to be firearms." This should only really count for things that utilise moscarts but its worth adding a declaration to the paperwork making them aware it does not fall into this category. Would be interested to see what Airline you go with and how you get on.

Cant say they will not be a wait time but https://www.facebook.com/lcsengineeringoutpost is the way to go. Also worth checking you local gun smith.

Definition of a "firearm" pertaining to Airsoft https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/1968/27/section/57A . Its all hearsay to me but from what I have read KM has shot someone multiple times with the definition of firearm according to the above legislation. I don't think we can legally play "hardball" as I said "I don't think you can consent to being shot with a firearm".

The last time I was talking about this Hazel Blears was trying to steal my toys so I might be a little fuzzy but I don't think you can give consent to be shot with a firearm.

No 100% no. Even the better replica stuff will have no issues and will hold zero.

#blackadder, thanks for posting this everyone I have shown this to has reacted the same way with a massive belly laugh. Gives the "Kicking" in his name a new meaning

Like these? https://www.componentshop.co.uk/battery-testers.html

Tokyo Marui M16A2 with a Tri Shot M203 on the bottom, bought extended warranty and the shop closed down (Airsoft Dynamics) 10 months later. I was gutted at the time but it pushed me to get the hammer out and try fixing and "upgrading" stuff myself so turned out OK in the end. The only part I still have is the A2 stock and the two part plastic hop up as I shoved it in the stock when I took it off :).

Forgive my ignorance but did they actually heat and extrude the ally or just said print instead of machine? Thanks.

Almost criminal your not making an AK74 mate. Looking forward to seeing the progress, thanks for posting.

Just gave mine its once a year deep clean.

Found one at last, just got it so no idea about the longevity but it bangs them out nice and loud https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005002002987670.html? just cut the lawn on the rider mower, made a phone call and jammed out to some tunes all while wearing the headset. Epic!

In the middle of adding a load of blower fans to my helmet when I came across this little gem https://cults3d.com/en/3d-model/tool/amp-arc-rail-comtac-iii-adapter now us Peltor using hobbits can still have the sexy OPS core AMP mounts with out paying out £80 for the AXL adapters or £1500 for replacement AMPs although still jelly of the 3d amplified hearing on the AMPs its almost like video game hacks. Loving this thread BTW.

Been after a KDU for years, really over the moon. Only downside is its not compatible with previous gens of PRC 152, although the new 152 builds from TRI seem to be awesome. 12 watt, they are working with real PTTs, no issues with headsets like COMTACs that have dynamic mics.

Mind posting a pic please? I assume you just chopped both mag internals in half and then glued the top das mag to the mid-cap/hi-cap lower?

Just got the wiring loom built by Cage/Perun. Micro switches look to have some sort of coating over the switch (the bit that the are pushes down on) so hoping it will live up to the hype of those water submersion videos that Cage posted. It use's an electronic "fuse" so finally that shitty blade fuse in the stock is gone along with basic tone info beeps, low battery and tripped fuse. first impressions seem to be good. Anyone want an photos of any of the insides while I install it? Hight of the pinon against the bevel se t from factory ETC? On the subject of BBs, I have only ever run geoff's bbs, 0.32g Tracer and 0.36g SP. Touch wood never had a miss feed or crushed BB so wary of trying any thing else. This look interesting, a adapter that uses KWA 120 round EPM mags and still has bolt lock https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VEeIW41gvg4 Good resource for maintenance and disassembly https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCctYtgnvuGhNogS7wxTE1-A/videos

Enid so happy you posted this mate, been looking for a joke birthday present for a mate of mine and he looks about your build, what size did you get by chance?

I took a glue gun and covered all the exposed solder on the micro switches and board. I have had issues that arise when using in the wet that thankfully solve themselves when its had time to dry out. Cage Airsoft brought out a new circuit that looks do have done the same, only used it a few times since but so far so good.

Mine just hit the 15k rounds mark with 0 issues and was bought off here second hand. I use it when I don't fancy lugging GBBR mags and accoutrements around all day. As far as recoil go's its a bit weird as its more on the forward stroke than into the shoulder but am probably spoilt with the feel of a GHK running direct fill Co2. Talk of GBLS bringing out a Pistol as well as a new rev to the mechbox so if it was me looking to buy one and I could hold off I would wait till this time next year for the new build. No issues with grip changes and the coof got the better of me so had it in bits to do a bit of waterproofing on the electronics and is no harder disassembly wise than its TM counter parts. Thanks for the write up and review mightyjebus was a good read. Obligatory bad photo

My GHK & DAS. Not messed with them for a few weeks so I think I can temp fate and say they are done.

Got a Reptilia RMR mount for the bendy boi but not really liking it. Will prob end up with one of them Arisaka 45" T1/T2 mounts. Really loving the performance since swapping to Co2 although the guy down at the pub supply thinks I am doing something nefarious with all the Co2 am buying

Thanks for the reply. Aye just trying to utilise the sound amplification so in theory even if playing the music you can still hear what's going on. Think I might have to get a duel PTT or something rigged up.
