  1. Orders 5000 geoffs .43's, gets 5000 .48's

     

    I feel really cheated here......

     

     

    :P

    1. Prisce

      Prisce

      So your the bastard who stole all the .48s... get him lads!

       

      Joking aside, you can probably sell them straight on for more if your that way inclined.

      Screw selling then on, these are my "so it's come to this" stash.

  3. well ir torch arrived, works a treat, now i just need an offset mount and perhaps a killflash

    1. Prisce

      Prisce

      Which IR torch did you get? Struggling to find a decent one for range... I bought a cheap one that doesn’t do naff all.

    2. Adolf Hamster

      Adolf Hamster

      uniquefire something or other, was cheap but i haven't had the chance to properly try it out yet.

  4. well, m4 didn't explode.

     

    but computer says no to not firing on auto....

      Lucky for some! My fuse blew first game with it! 

    2. Adolf Hamster

      it just goes full auto the moment you connect the battery, think the etu's fried.

       

      however it did get some glorious kills before that happened.

  5. oh god oh god oh god.

     

    the mg42 hpa conversion is nearly done.

     

    am i evil?

      As I could only see the "oh god oh god oh god" I thought you may have sharted

    2. Adolf Hamster

      Adolf Hamster

      i haven't, but i suspect any poor bugger on the recieving end of this gun might.....

  6. so as predicted the m4 gearbox was filled with what was at one point the spur gear.

     

    looks like it's going to be a new gearset time, shame i have no way to tone down the rof.

      what motor you running on 11.1v with etu

      sure it was something a bit too quick for 11.1v

       

      maybe zci 22 tpa...

  7. 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

  8. anyone know where one could find some nice wooden grips for a we makarov?

    1. Sniper780

      Sniper780

      I am afraid to say that there no mainstream airsoft manufacturers who currently make wood grips for the WE Makarov the close you could get is the brown Fakelite  these ones here   https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/WE-Brown-Grip-For-WE-Makarov-GBB-Series-WE0557-/281684074973 

       

      You could try to find surplus wood grips for the Makarov but I do not think there were many (if at all) that actually, real steel pistols manufactured that would have had the wood grips.

      The American gun/surplus stores might have some but most properly will not ship to the UK.

    2. Adolf Hamster

      Adolf Hamster

      hmm, food for thought. i have some contacts who might be able to source real steel ones which will possibly need modded to fit.

       

      will have to see. kick off it's lovely though

  9. so the mg might be getting a little "upgrade" to turn it into something as scary in airsoft as the real one is on the battlefield.....

    1. Jedi_Master

      Jedi_Master

      Better off with a Land Rover than a MG (especially the chinaman built ones)

      Adolf Hamster

      oh no that's the next project, get a turret ring mount and an old landy :D

  10. well, that's parts on order for the ak/m4, the sig still needs a new outer barrel but i've given it a bit of a cleanup, also fixed the hop on the makarov so now it should be able to hop which should turn it into a little demon of a pocket gun

    1. Duff

      Duff

      They recently renamed the Makarov in DayZ, I was devastated!

    2. Adolf Hamster

      Adolf Hamster

      Indeed, its a very under appreciated gun imo, sure the real one is underpowered but it's a masterclass in engineering simplicity.

       

      The we version is a cracking wee gun, great gas effeciency, kicks like a mule and apart from the lack of nub its got to be the best hop unit design i've seen in a pistol.

       

      Now i just need to get it a holster and some spare mags....

  11. Hmmm, do i risk running a 9v box mag on 11.1v again?

    1. Adolf Hamster

      Adolf Hamster

      Lol, probably a sensible decision, that motor doesnt look like she'd handle it all that well, and last time(s) i tried it fried the motor

       

      Tbh i'm thinking just leaving the auto cutoff to do its thing might be the best move, would save a wire coming from the gun.

  12. todays "i wants it"

     

    a gbb svu.....

    1. Asomodai

      Asomodai

      Pity they aren't very good :(

    2. Adolf Hamster

      Adolf Hamster

      havent heard much about them, tbh i figured it'd just be the WE base gun converted pretty much how the real svu was converted.

       

      i mean i can't afford it anyway but a man can dream......

  13. well, latest build finally got to take some names this evening.

     

    really pleased with how it's turned out, just wish i'd been a bit more conscientious about the ol' fitness over lockdown.

    1. Druid799

      Druid799

      What ya build ? an address book ?😳

    2. Adolf Hamster

      Adolf Hamster

      Indeedy, was exhausting running around to all my mates houses and adding their addresses.

  14. Well, the f2000 is sort of feeding now, tappet plate was just a little tight so sanded it a tad, hopefully should wear in a bit easier with use.

     

    Debating selling the luger for a mauser because shoulder stock

     

    And finally the "whats on your mind" box seems to still be playing sillybuggers.

     

    Oh, and i bought an mr2

     

    Long status update lol

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

    Like really long

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

    Ok now i'm just taking the mick

    1. Iceni

      Iceni

      I would imagine version 6 gearboxes are shimmed like tight version 3's. Where you shim the box like normal making a note of the shim count either side of every gear. Then just take the tappet and sector with the other side of the gearbox and work out how many shims need to move to that side for the tappet to run free. Then make that adjustment to the other gears and check it's all running nice. It does mean you get some funky pinion engagement at times but it's normally decent enough that it's not going to cause problems.

       

    2. Adolf Hamster

      Adolf Hamster

      Its not the gears are my problem, its the tappet itself, the original tappet broke and the guarder tappet thats in there now is a smidge on the tight side at the front of the box between the nozzle and the case.

  15. 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

  16. When your wondering how best to prepare your workmate for dealing with your squad's "humour".....

      yeah pretty much how i approached it, he seemed to enjoy himself which given the amount of drama normally goes on at that site is a good sign.

  17. like a bat out of hell he was gone when the morning came :(

    1. Druid799

      Druid799

      Yup looks like that meatloaf reached and passed its best before date ? RIP big man .

    2. Monkman

      Monkman

      Another great lost...not sure if what's being said in the press he was anti-vax is true...bit of a shit way to be proved wrong.  RIP

  18. Ahh a good solid days pewing, cant beat it.

    1. AK47frizzle

      AK47frizzle

      Had a group of chav kiddy rentals that never took their hits 😕

    2. Adolf Hamster

      Adolf Hamster

      We had a few rentals with accompanying shenanigans, but mostly they were all right.

  19. Well, will have to see how the new sling mount on the m4 holds, but at least i found a use for the hicapa rail.....

    1. Rogerborg

      Rogerborg

      Did you run out of cable ties and keyrings?

       

      Never run out of cable ties and keyrings.

    2. Adolf Hamster

      Adolf Hamster

      it's more that carbon is not a good material for bolting things onto, i'm kinda worried the wrong shock load is going to just rip the bolts out.

       

      problem is there's nowhere else decent to mount the front of a 2 point on an m4.

  20. welp, mg42's reciever is bent. dis gon'b fun to fix....

    1. Duff

      Duff

      How in the fuck did you manage that?

    2. Adolf Hamster

      Adolf Hamster

      dropped it sideways onto the mag, thought the mag was the only bit got bent, but looks like the reciever is aluminium and easy bent.

       

      fortunately there's plenty of room inside so i think i'm going to get some steel bar and bolt it on the sides to reinforce it.

  21. why do i do this to myself?

     

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

    1. EDcase

      EDcase

      Get into sorcery instead...

      Its easier 😆 

    2. Adolf Hamster

      Adolf Hamster

      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....

  22. don't you just love ordering springs that aren't what they say they are, indeed not even close....

    1. Rogerborg

      Rogerborg

      Can you show us on the fps/Joules chart where the bad vendor touched you?

    2. Adolf Hamster

      Adolf Hamster

      They were meant to be m100's so give or take a bit 1j, they were closer to m130/m140's.

       

      Shame as the whole point of buying them was to have some springs i knew were in the right ballpark rather than my current batch which are all in the 0.5j range.

       

      All i can say is i'm glad i chrono'd it before giving it back to me mate, not sure he'd be best pleased at being told he cant play.

  23. Man is lockdown getting dull at this point....

    1. Zarrin

      Zarrin

      I'm feeling it too...  and I don't even have any of my guns with me to work on or tinker with. Apparently the new Thor movie 'Extraction' on Netflix is quite good, might give that a watch.

    2. Skara

      Skara

      We (Italy) may play again, or rather practice team sports (airsoft falls under this category here), from the 18th of May.

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

     

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

    1. RobHedley

      RobHedley

      What is the other 36%??😲

    2. Adolf Hamster

      Adolf Hamster

      sling wouldn't take the dye
