  1. 30k in the akm, was worried might be too fast but seems to be about right.

      @Asomodai it's 12:1 and all :P

       

      as for the style, i'm still not sure, i kind of want to find a barrel clamp to run the 2dp as i'd rather run the normal forend than the current rail+afg combo that's on there atm.

       

      fortunately i'm hopefully redeeming myself with the optics- got a 1p67 on order should keep both camps happy......

  2. 5k geoff's .4's and 10k geoff's .32's.

     

    At what point do i admit to having a problem?

      Ummm, i might do prisce, theyre for the polarstar

    3. Prisce

      Prisce

      Well, that sir, is when you officially have a problem. 

    4. Adolf Hamster

      Adolf Hamster

      but muh accuracy?

       

      tbf this is an experiment, i know the .4's will be good but i've mostly been running the laser dot .3's and in the quest for a gun that shoots in a straight line the only variable left that i haven't fully explored is ammo, hence the big pile of geoff's to see how those work out.

  3. Ahh tolerances.

     

    Also the we ct25 trigger pack is now my most hated thing to work on.....

    1. ak2m4

      ak2m4

      Ahh tolerances indeed, bane of my life, I get asked on a daily basis "does this, fit with this", one thing I wanted to do was setup a airsoft wiki for compatibility but never enough time in the day

    2. Adolf Hamster

      Adolf Hamster

      A compatibility wiki would be nice but i suspect an impossible task.

       

      Currently its the sear is very wobbly on its pin, like 0.5mm oversize.

       

      And it aint worn out this gun hasnt fired more than 100 rounds

  4. Anyone got a spare pair of knees/ankles?

     

    I really need to get in shape......

      StayOnTarget

      AH lets just say the cartel does you a favour and maybe someday you do the cartel a favour....Hows your rectal passage for space?

      Oh I forgot to say assembly will be your responsibility and as per the law that only applies to airsoft your order will take much longer than anticipated and will meet with countless delays only to be the wrong size/make or just plain shite when you finally receive it (unfortunately this part isnt the joke)

      Cheers Amigo!!!

  5. Buys gun, gun comes with tube loader

     

    Turns out mags are a pain, you gotta use the tube

     

    Mods tube to fit standard speedloader

     

    This does not work

     

    So now i have to load rounds singly.

     

    This is the definition of hubris

      @Rogerborg yep that pretty much sums it up perfectly.

       

      i suppose at least my total ammo capacity of 160 rounds isn't that bad to fill up one by one.....

  6. Damnit, opportinity to test the m4 hop at a mates (with an adequately sized field) and of course the air tank has leaked dry.

     

    Guess im gonna have to actually take the reg off after games.

      No, it was still set at it's operating pressure, just the qd valve holding it. ahh well guess tis a learning experience.

       

      The reg is still showing pressure but the bottle has dropped.

      well, if i'm going tomorrow i have a recently dsg'd ak to take, but been absolutely lashing down today so might be a bit damp even for me so might give it a miss.

  7. dear airsoft manufacturers

     

    please stop using press-fit pins that require removal for regular maintenance purposes.

     

     

  8. Everythings different yet the same.

     

    Its weird.....

  9. Finds aftermarket bbu seal in box o' bits

     

    Doesnt fit makarov due to length so fits to sig

     

    Actual gas efficiency.

     

    Goddamnit now i need one that fits the makarov :(

  10. First crack at rit dye, managed to acheive 66% green.

     

    I mean it wasnt a total failure.....

    1. RobHedley

      What is the other 36%??😲

      sling wouldn't take the dye

  11. Fresh carbon free float tube on the m4, and a pair of other guns ressurrected for a freind.

     

    It's been a productive day, so tomorrow i've got destructive to spare :P

    1. Aengus

      Aengus

      Carbon tubes on m4s always look so good. Where'd you get it from?

    2. Adolf Hamster

      Adolf Hamster

      Old test peice out of work, happened to be the right size to bolt onto a barrel nut.

       

      Bit incongruous as it blocks putting the gas tube in, but seems nice and solid, will be interesting to see how durable it is

  12. Fuckin spiders man.

     

    If you dont hear from me after a few days i've either died from sleep deprevation, accidental incineration or radiation poisoning.

     

    This is no guarantee of my success so i reccommend relocation to an extrasolar location just to be sure.

      it was a pair of them jumped me while i was in bed last night, one regular sized and one wannabe tarantula.

       

      i know they ain't deadly here but millions of years of evolution is a hard thing to fight.....

      If you were/are running a PDI I honestly wouldn't be considering a CJ. I would say at best it would be a sidegrade and an FPS drop.

      They are popular(ish) with the Mk23 owners (they're cheap and available) and some VSR users swear by them. The marginally wider bore helps with over volumed RIFs so helps balance things up a bit.

      They are sold on a lot of bluster about the end providing a vortex or whatever it is, there is rarely a mention that they are a brass barrel and nothing about the internal finish.

    4. Adolf Hamster

      Adolf Hamster

      fair enough, i'm not so worried about voluming/fps issues as it's hpa so i can set to whatever's necessary.

       

      might stick to what i know then and get another pdi.

  14. Goes to play ac:unity

     

    Remembers why he never finished ac:unity

     

    Seriously how did they make a game where you can run around revolutionary paris wailing on people with a poleaxe boring?

    1. Jedi_Master

      Jedi_Master

      I played it last year when Ubisoft gave everyone a free copy following the Notre Dame fire.  I enjoyed AC: Black Flag much more.

       

    2. Adolf Hamster

      Adolf Hamster

      I cant put my finger on why i dont like it, it just doesnt get me.

       

      Black flag was awesome, didnt even need the assasin stuff to be good when you can just be a pirate.

       

      That said i'm maybe just odd, i enjoyed the hell out of ac3 and a lot of folk hated that for some reason.

    3. Cr0-Magnon

      Cr0-Magnon

      I've played both Unity and Black Flag extensively and yeah the latter is definitely my favourite between them. Although I tend to get bored of a game when you have to do the same type of mission time after time. Obviously a different series but I think Far Cry 4 may be my favourite game of all time.

  15. Good days shooting today, e&l worked just fine and the jack is doing stirling work in the m4.

     

    Boots were great, shame my legs arent

  16. great day's airsofting, couple of spoilsports but mostly grand. f2000 still isnt feeding though.

     

    however, new belt rig worked out pretty well, nice lightweight alternative.

  17. Hmm, 2.5 mags of .2's from the makarov.

     

    Definately a lot better than it used to be.

  18. Hmm, starting to think perhaps the sig might be nearing retirement, great gun but its really starting to show its age.

     

    Wonder what i should replace it with

      possibly, i can't decide between old school akm, ak74u with folding stock and big can, or going dmr with a gbb dragonuv.

       

      either way the most modern thing i'd put on an ak is a red dot, and that's only because red dots rule

    3. AshOnSnow

      AshOnSnow

      You could get a PK-AS sight for it

    4. Adolf Hamster

      Adolf Hamster

      possibly, i'll likely run with irons for a while then make my mind up.

       

      although i tend to find any gun running irons i tend to revert to just watching bb impacts, whereas a well zeroed red dot has me actually aiming with it.

  19. hmmm, so where does one go from a PDI if one wants moar accuracy?

     

    currently debating between giving a crazy jet a go or maybe EDGI

      @lozart i tried, but the perfectionist in me is too strong, it's all about the accuracy.....

    4. proffrink

      proffrink

      You don't - buy heavier and better ammo, improve your hop unit.

       

      If you really want look at hunterseekerarmouries and buy a lapping kit to get a ridiculously smooth finish on your barrel.

  20. hmmm, think i'm changing my opinion on lct....

      their reputation was certainly good.

       

      i mean maybe i've got a friday afternooner on the gearbox but the rest of the elements are still not ideal.

       

      maybe nuprol's ownership and getting them to make guns for them has had an impact.

    3. Shaydee

      Shaydee

      I've heard enough about lemons from both sides to be fair, only ever purchased/used LCTs but had a go with E&Ls and they've both been great. I think the best bet is to lean to whatevers cheapest and that tends to be E&L now that Nuprol have price hiked the LCTs, fire support is no longer my go to for 'premium' AK shopping like it has been 😐

       

      Can't you just unscrew the hop and push it forward? I'm pretty sure I can do that with my 74u to get at the gearbox without removing the outer barrel, etc.

      i've done a bit of a review which includes photos of the hop unit issue. at least once i get the photos to load.

  21. I HAVE A NEW F2000 HOP UNIT

     

    that is all.....

  22. I now have that rarest of things.....

     

     

     

    A g&g f2000 that actually fires semi auto.....

    1. Asomodai

      Asomodai

      @Adolf Hamster For how long?

      My Cymas Semi Auto Failed recently as the second trigger got worn down. As it's in an AUG base and you cant really get second triggers for Augs (With the hole at the back) My tech had to gut a standard second trigger All is well now. :)

    2. Adolf Hamster

      Adolf Hamster

      about half an hour at this point :P

       

      since discovering on the aksu that an ab mosfet screws up the semi i've been figuring maybe the same was happening on the f2000.

       

      so dropped a warfet in her today and with precocking on it's now cycling very nicely on semi.

       

      of course the trigger pull is still crap but that's just an f2000 thing, and the COL is almost certainly going to wear out very quickly.

  23. i should write a book "when springs go sproing: a tale of one man and his mission to avoid having to crawl around under tables"

     

    i think i could rival the brothers karamazov for page count.

  24. let's put the magpul stock back on the m4 i thought, lets put a bolt-in mosfet kit in i thought...

     

    4 hours later it's still not working. now i remember why i had an m16 stock on there in the first place

      lol, i've just had to completely re-do the wiring and it's still not working, so maybe i shouldn't mess with these things :P

      Echoing my own thoughts.

    4. Adolf Hamster

      indeed, always the way- gun doesnt work, you fix it, gun does work you try to improve it and end up breaking it.

       

      and the cycle continues....

  25. Mg42 is back, forgot how massive that thing is, some final test fitting just to check everything lines up and some wiring and it'll be back in action!

     

    Its now super heavy though, the reciever is almost entirely filled with steel
