  2. you are the exception that proves the rule. in this case someone who's happy with neither form nor function in fairness i suppose someone has to do it.....

    evening all here we have a very battle weary jg aksu, originally a recoil model although the recoil has long been removed. internally she's running a warfet and ASG basic motor (stock evo motor), and a randomized mix of internals (bits box special). despite this she's always been surprisingly good as a bb lobber with good food, certainly punches above her weight. externally, well she's been through the wars, patched up and sent right back to the front. i've applied many fixes to minimize wobble (such as the brass ring to hold the lower handguard, some rubber in the stock bracket etc) but she's never going to be a looker. handguards are wood although sorely in need of a date with some dye and a bottle of french polish. comes with 10 mags, the 6 orange mags are standard cyma mids, they've been well used though so a couple of them the springs are getting a bit weak. the 4 brown mags are also cymas but they were harvested for their springs, so while the body's are in great shape the springs are stock e&l and aren't the greatest. also comes with the pictured generic siderail and amazon special red dot, works as well as an amazon special red dot would be expected to. decent for a backup/project/loaner gun which is what i've always used her for. price includes postage, proof of defence (Ukara etc) required.

  4. as above i'd say 7.4v would be the safer bet here. in terms of mah as long as the battery physically fits in the gun there's no downside to having as much as possible.
  5. if you're meaning the bizon then that looks like an amazon special red dot on your generic ak siderail. something like this: https://www.amazon.co.uk/JASHKE-1x30mm-Holographic-Picatinny-Hunting/dp/B081CS6SDC/ref=sr_1_7?dchild=1&keywords=1x30+red+dot&qid=1628037398&sr=8-7
  6. over ten years and i haven't either. but then as a serial tinkerer i don't think i've ever fired the same gun twice.
  7. being in category 3 doesn't necessarily mean elitist. i pretty much fit that category these days but i will openly admit that a lot of what's gone into a super shiny pew doesn't necessarily result in better performance and definitely doesn't stop you getting winged from the bushes by some kid with a battered rental g36. indeed it could arguably be worse, picking an e&l over a cyma to deck out doesn't result in better bb lobbing performance but it does mean a much heavier gun. of course that adds to feel, which kinda loops round to form rather than function. ultimately we all strike a balance between form and function, otherwise we'd all be running those hpa'd m4 pistol abominations with a barrel length described as "yes".
  8. damn as a note for any new players- we get that 2-tone is a necessary evil and most of the time nobody is gonna judge you for it. unless you do it to something nice then all bets are off.
  9. yeah, personally i'd rather: but that does require further dissassembly. would be good if more guns had a system similar to the RS svd which afaik has a little lever hidden in the magwell that actuates the arl.
  10. The bolt externals are pretty nice, shame the internals didnt work out for you. personally out of e&l and lct i'll take e&l any day of the week, neither brand are totally immune to canting (although not had it from either) but the e&l externals personally i think are nicer (the bluing, lack of airsoft markings etc) and the internals are much better (read: actually good). Basically my rule of thumb is if e&l make it choose them, if only lct makes it then fair enough.
  11. does the trigger feel like it's locked? if the col is at just the wrong position it can block the trigger, how the gun is setup for cycling will influence how easily/often it can happen but spamming the trigger can be a cause. if it is that then the solution is (well, for most guns) simple- flip to auto and a burst will clear it. for a semi only gun it's a bit trickier, possibly the quickest way (read: least dissassembly) i can think of would be to use a hex driver through the nozzle to manually push the piston back to reset the cycle, you want to use something with a flat end though to not mess up the piston, needless to say disconnect the battery when doing that and keep a firm grip because once you push the piston all the way back the full force of the spring will be trying to catapult the piston forwards. maybe the dmr guys have a better solution, i mostly work with select fire so don't have to clear that problem manually.
  12. is that the one where the bulb vents when you drop the mag? i mean that's one way of having drop free mags yeah, met one at a site once, seemed as good a kick as i've seen from any airsoft gun.
  13. funny i was meaning the other way round, i swear i've seen tippmans with recoil.
  14. pretty much as bigstew says. the magazine is generally the best, if not only, location to put a reservoir that's large enough to handle a few dozen shots (ymmv depending on how well setup the gun is) and as a side benefit the reservoir will be refreshed with every reload. generally for airsofters running a gas blowback is more for fun than practicality and we accept slower reloads as the trade off for that. it's worth remembering airsoft's idea of a perfect cqb weapon is a pistol with an m4 magazine hanging off the bottom (which in airsoft means capacity in the 100-500 round region depending on the type of magazine used) so you just never reload. there are systems that try to strike a balance, for example daytonagun kits (using an external tank with a line), tippmann's m4 (again with external line), or systems like the tm recoil or higher end DAS, which depending on your budget might do what you want.
  15. she's one of the Real sword ones, so the reticle dials do indeed adjust, although the range of motion isn't massive. afaik they're basically chinese pso's with the markings replaced for russian, certainly it's a very solid unit.
  16. evening all. figured i'd throw a quick appraisals thread out see if i'm in the right ballpark: first up we have ourselves a WE GBB SVD. she's had the maple leaf barrel/hop treatment in the name of lobbing .48's and an npas, otherwise pretty much stock with a couple of tweaks mostly in the name of improving bolt lockback reliability and mag wobble. been fielded a few times but not a particularly high round count, reckon maybe sub 2k rounds total including testing. comes with 8 mags none of which appear to be leaking, spare "low flow" nozzle, spare feedlips/gas routers, and a pair of the WE "Strong" tube-style loaders that are definitely required (feed lips are comically large on this gun) included (but possibly splitting) is an RS PSO-1 scope, comes with carry bag, spare eyecup, lens cover, spare illuminator bulbs and cleaning brush. the illuminator sometimes needs the bulb twiddled in the mount to get a good electrical connection but other than that she works perfectly. thinking somewhere in the region of £600 for the full package, or split the scope for £150 (i can't even find them for sale new to reference but i have £300 rattling around in my head) next is an ATN MK350 Gen1(+?) night vision scope, all 3 tonnes of it. comes with mounts for ak/svd siderails and picatinny, uniquefire IR torch on offset picatinny mount (with end-cap or pressure pad switches), carry bag and a few miscellaneous bits. don't know what the total hours for her are, but she works just fine (well, by the standards of a gen 1 unit). hasn't seen much field use in my hands simply due to a lack of night games. something like £150 for the whole package? now we have a WE CT25 been fielded a few times, mostly for when i'm in the mood for shaming people outdoors. impressively hilarious range for a 0.5j meme gun although gas efficiency on this one is a whole mag if you're lucky. mag holds green gas (nuprol 2.0 level) just fine but doesn't like anything heavier(red/black), has a spare mag which is pretty much boneyard (tried to fix the leaky baseplate seal and failed) comes in original box: something like £50-60? and finally we have a very battle weary jg aksu, originally a recoil model although the recoil has long been removed. internally she's running a warfet and ASG basic motor (stock evo motor), and a randomised mix of internals. at the time of writing she's a bit poorly, think it's just the precocking set a bit high but will sort that out before listing the ad, certainly accuracy wise she's always punched above her weight. externally, well she's been through the wars, patched up and sent right back to the front. i've appliied many fixes to minimise wobble (such as the brass ring to hold the lower handguard, some rubber in the stock bracket etc) but she's never going to be a looker. comes with 10 mags, the 6 orange mags are standard cyma mids, they've been well used though so a couple of them the springs might be a bit on the worn side. the 4 brown mags are also cymas but they were harvested for their springs, so while the body's are in great shape the springs are stock e&l and aren't the greatest. also comes with the pictured generic siderail and amazon special red dot, works as well as an amazon special red dot would be expected to. something like £75 for the lot?
  17. I'm a sucker for blued steel, and i like the feel of a gun with a bit of heft to it. That's pretty much it, i think alloy on an ak is too reminiscent of the old jg/cyma rentals which whilst i wont deny are good shooters for the cash they dont age all that well.
  18. Its a tricky one, the we (and now tm) ones seem better designs out of the box (granted the we is spoiled by poor materials) with the full stroke dead mans click. But then folks buying a high end ak are kinda gonna want steel. I suppose if it gets the popularity the mws did then aftermarket recievers are a possibility. Certainly its a deal breaker for me, even on a 74
  19. This is a fair point, i'm assuming if its not rs fitment it wont be long before aftermarket wood is available. Hence asking about the reciever, the one part thats gonna be hardest to change.
  20. pretty much any aeg is possible to hpa, the question is how difficult it'll be to acheive. a standard cylinder drop-in like the f2 would be the obvious choice, it'll come with either a v2 or v3 triggerboard but if the gun is doing something weird you can use a plugboard and wire in to the original trigger contacts. the only other area will be nozzle length. you can either find one for a gun with a similar length, get a longer nozzle and machine it down yourself, or send the measurements to polarstar who can make custom nozzles to order. there may be some fettling required- filing off stuff on the inside if it's catching on the gearbox, drilling holes for airline/cable routing etc. i still hold the f2 is the best all-rounder engine on the market currently in terms of offering the level of tunability you'd want from the likes of a fusion engine, with the flexibility to be dropped into a much wider array of guns.
  21. guess the all important question is what's the reciever made of? i for one would find anything less than blued steel on such a gun a bit of a deal breaker
  22. you mean the early lee rifles? iirc werent they 2 magazines- one chained to the gun and 1 spare. idea being you single loaded it unless you needed the magazine for a cavalry charge or such.
  23. even better if you stick them in the branches of trees so they wave around a bit. the streams of tracers and the cries of constarnation are very enjoyable.
