Its certainly a lot prettier than some of the combinations people put on their hicapas.

This thread is certainly an unusual setup, but its purpose is to highlight to prospective buyers what acceptable pricing for secondhand gear should be so they dont unwittingly get ripped off. It also shows sellers the issues that might lead to them not getting much demand for the items they're selling be it price, poor description, bad images etc. Sometimes folk just dont realise how an ad appears to a prospective buyer. It works both ways though, if someone drops an ad in here that's actually fair then that point will be raised too. For example the debate about avenger's fal has multiple perspectives going on. Of course it is steeped in banter, but nothing worse than you're going to encounter at your local site. But if someone is willing to take on criticism then it's a helpful environment, if they arent then it's open season for a bit of entertainment.

mate i wouldn't go admitting that in public

Dick move for sure, but only bought on methinks by the somewhat unlikely circumstance of messaging the wrong guy.

ahh yes, ducking with a modern twist, i like it.

eh, gun teching is always a rocky road. you'll get there might just take a while.

I'm down for a good ol' witch burning. How we doing the trial? Ducking stool or red hot rocks?

I'm not sure i'm down for mixing ebay and the classifieds. If i want to use ebay then i'll just go look there. But i preferr the forum environment as the community side of things generally yeilds much better security for both buying and selling.

Now now play nice

At its simplest more volts=more speed At least so long as the battery can supply the current. Multiply the c rating of the battery, by the capacity of the battery in amp-hours (mah is milli amp hours so divide by 1000) to give you the rated current. Eg for a 25c lipo: An 800mah can put out 20a A 1200mah can put out 30a Change it to 30c and the current output goes to 24 and 36 amps respectively. If the current draw of the motor is more than the battery then it'll limit the speed it can reach whilst simaltaneously doing bad things to the battery. Of course generally batteries can supply a much higher burst current safely but i wouldnt personally rely on that. I remember once running an asg 40k motor on an 800mah 25c and fortunately as it was just a range shakedown i stopped before the battery was really damaged, but in-game could easily have cooked it. That same motor on a 1500mah 25c didnt cook the battery although it did cook my hands, the gears, the wiring and several pistons..... As a general rule theres no downside to having a higher c rating or capacity as long as the battery is good quality and physically fits the gun. As skara says often i find stock boxes on a decent 11.1 can put out respectable rof that generally isnt an issue mechanically unless the gun has a super weak spring (pretty common with shoddy fps downgrades) certainly it's what i'd be running. only reason my main ak runs 7.4 is because you try stuffing an 11.1 down the hole in a railed gas tube

Or looking vaguely like someone else.

As 2-tones go thats not bad, certainly woild easily pass as an aesthetic choice rather than legal requirement.

Possible yes, but the kind of expertise and equipment required aint gonna come cheap if you're just paying someone to make it for you. A lot of these kinds of projects are labours of love from folks who enjoy the challenge of building it as much as the final result.

If i'm recalling correctly the hicapa spring is pretty easy accessed

A man of taste and refinement. I respect that

hmmmm, that's a spicy gat that's for sure. is that what i think it is velcro'd onto the stock 😛

That second picture with the folding stock.....

Dont get too hung up on barrel length, means very little compared to the other important factors (read: pretty much everything else)

Its not an RIF, its an ROF- Really Offensive Firearm I suppose credit where its due, it doesnt have a stupid double blade trigger and at least the design choices seem to be driven with good function over form. I dont like it, but i can see why a speedsofter would.

depends on what you mean by issues. getting it to fit, function, and send bb's out of the barrel no i shouldn't imagine any problems at all. tuning it to perfection, well that's an exponential challenge.

you got thrust bearings on both the spring guide and piston? if so i'd pull the one from the piston, will give a little fps drop (and lessen pme). could be a shell thing, i know asg m95's are normally pretty damn close to 1j with a single thrust bearing in quite a lot of guns, but perhaps the bren has a little more preload than normal.

i think from the context i'd use "creep" as has been mentioned the 1911 style mag release is default resting position of a slight amount of tension with the catch being pushed out of the way during insertion and popping back. there might be slightly more tension with mag in compared to mag out but it's not enough to really cause worry (at least in the kind of timespans shorter than something else failing due to age)

^and all is right with the world

Those zci barrels are fantastic for the price, i second the reccommendation.

If you have one lying around its worth a try. Worst case is the feedlips are an issue.
