      @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. anyone any experience with raptor as a pistol brand? they make a shiny thing that i want.......

      @Adolf Hamster I have heard of many reports of some of internals being made of cheese from the Russian FB groups. Finish is poor, O Rings on the Mag are too thick which meant it was hard to fill with gas.  Doesn't work in anything below 10 degrees. The parts that you think should be steel are not. This is the opinion of more then just one person as well! Multiple people!

      yeah, looked up a review from arnies and seems to be there are some issues, but probably not insurmountable. the o-ring on the bbu was too tight but that's good in terms of being a fixable issue.

       

      i'm not a very heavy pistol user anyway so if if i can stuff a ml autobot in there and get a mags worth of .32's downrange i'm happy enough.

      Knocker valve for their blowback makarov.

       

      Was trying to figure out why mine kept leaking and realised it had somehow caved in at the front.

       

      Figured if imma try and sell it better to have it as working (well, "worked last time i tried to fire it")

       

      Only place ive found even has it listed is begadi and its out of stock :(

    3. strykerles

      strykerles

      would a WE makarov part fit? granted I know feck all about makarovs but might be something to consider if possible

    4. Adolf Hamster

      Adolf Hamster

      Nah, totally different mechs.

       

      The kwc is basically a 4.5mm co2 airgun conversion which normally comes stupid hot out of the box (mine was downgraded by the forum member i bought it off). Its not even the same as other kwc valves (particularly the 1911 which is the only kwc valve you can find easily)

       

      Only bought it as a winter gun to stand in for the WE.

  5. Happy Hogswatch guys :)

  6. Anyone have issues with noveske style amps with 24mm thread? Bought one recently didnt come with a 14mm adapter and it aint fitting the jg/cyma/lct ones i've tried.

      this one came from davescustom airsoft, it wouldn't even start on the lct adapter and barely went half a turn on the jg/cyma ones.

       

      imma try me local brick and mortar see if i can find a random adapter, if not looks like i'll have to run the pbs4 this weekend (me left arm is gonna hate me :P )

  8. after several years, finally had to replace a part on the odin

      Zarrin

      Yeah you're probably right, it is quite a 'load bearing' part, especially at the point at which the clutch essentially disengages when the magazine is full. Having said that, in this design you probably want these replaceable weak points to be able to break, so that you can easily and functionally replace them when need be.

      Been thinking about purchasing a 3d printer actually, not really looked into it in much detail or know where to start and at what kinda price point. 

    3. Adolf Hamster

      Adolf Hamster

      tbf that is what the slipper clutch is for, reckon i had mine just set too tight.

       

      tbh my experience with the home 3d printers is especially the pla stuff isn't the greatest, but then i'm looking at it compared to the proper industrial grade stuff.

       

    4. Zarrin

      Zarrin

      Right, so my brother works at a place which used to be the UKs biggest rapid prototyping / industrial scale 3d printing labs...  technically not anymore as they have been taken over by Siemens, so I guess their German now 😅.
      They can print with powders of pretty much any material you want, both metals and polymers. Big massive rapid prototypers half the size of rooms. So yeah anything I suggest to him, he throws some elitist shade at :lol:

  9. ahh ups, that firearms declaration for an odin m12 rebuild kit.....

  10. so, ummm

     

    this is a thing:

      the ak isn't as unweildy as you'd think as long as you're not filling the whole front end with aluminium rails.....

    3. Skara

      Skara

      I know that they aren't unweildy ;) My 74u is actually pretty balanced despite being made of granite or something.

      It's just that adding 800 grams right on the tip would make it really unbalanced.

    4. Adolf Hamster

      Adolf Hamster

      it's not so bad, had a pretty heavy can on my e&l 74u.

       

      this is going to be a situational thing though, for night games etc.

       

      although granted it does make a stronger argument for getting a 105 over a 74m :P

  11. why did i decide to try refinishing the makarov with aluminium black, soooooo much sanding......

  12. Y'know with all the forum updates recently i'd have thought we'd be able to entice a better quality spambot :P

  13. Everythings different yet the same.

     

    Its weird.....

  14. 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.

    4. Adolf Hamster

      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.

  15. dear airsoft manufacturers

     

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

     

     

  16. 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.....

  17. the f2000 saga continues.

     

    new hop unit- check

    fresh ml macaron with omega nub- check

    feeds every round- check

    actually reliable on semi-check

    fps at least approaching 1j- whoops, we're getting 40.....

      I am getting such bad luck with the ML omega nub combination with lots of rifles recently in terms of feeding, huge FPS drops when hop applied and general inconsistency.

       

       I changed the ML on my T97, L85 and XM8 DMR to a Prommy Purple, Guarder clear and G&G green respectively. Much better dealing and less FPS drops. 

       

      It might not help in your situation. 

       

      My F2000 had a ML nub combo, but it's an AUG style hop unit in the Cyma/JG and hasnt given me any problems.

    3. Adolf Hamster

      Adolf Hamster

      i don't think it's the hop rubber, this is the exact same issue she had with the PDI W-hop that was in previously.

       

      normally the feeding issue is the feedlips are too long but she's sitting just perfect atm.

       

      i'll have another crack at it today, if not i suspect she might be features on negative airsoft's next haunted guns show....

    4. Adolf Hamster

      Adolf Hamster

      ok, now i'm very suspicious

       

      turns out the piston air seal wasn't quite as good as i thought (seemed to intermittently just not seal) so a new o-ring and now we're firing proper numbers.

       

      makes me worried, something is about to break, i know it.....

  18. hmmm, already contemplating a new barrel.....

  19. why do i do this to myself?

     

    always gotta make a new challenge, now it's trying to extract consistent fps from a gbb.....

      starting to think that.

       

      trying to set the npas on this dragonuv and it's not fun, might be easy stripped but you gotta to that every goddamn time to adjust it....

  20. ahh uk customs, apparently a we 226 hop/barrel set requires a firearms declaration.....

      Sounds like you've had a similar experience like mine!

       

      The cherry on the cake though, was when it finally cleared customs and went 'out for delivery' they shipped it to the wrong warehouse! So I had to wait another day for it to arrive...

      i'm not in a massive rush, it's more the pain in the ass for something so small.

      look, it's easier to have them sitting around in case i get something new, or i'm working on a mates gun and i've got something good to throw in there.....

      got plenty of official Maple Leaf ones and the clone hard and soft packs...when I spoke to AST though they said they were having a hard time getting them produced at the moment

  22. Just got me combat union hop unit and all i can say is it says volumes about russian fps limits....

      well, thanks to the relaxation managed to give this thing a few rounds and can confirm whilst it's not as pretty as the MAXX hop unit it is just as good at ensuring bb's go in the correct direction.

    3. DerDer

      DerDer

      That's good to hear. Nice to have a high quality AK hop unit available. On the subject of MAXX see that they planned at one stage or another to release a G36 unit, no mention of AKs though. 

       

      Might have to give the combat union a go in the future. 

    4. Adolf Hamster

      Adolf Hamster

      Yeah, means i have a second gun that can lob .48's should the need arise.

       

      The only real downside is it's a bastard to adjust, you either gotta have tiny fingers or open the top cover, so not as amenable to "on the fly" adjustment as a standard hop

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

     

    Definately a lot better than it used to be.
