  1. it's always the part that's a bitch to find is the one you lose....

      sadly not in this case, the selector lever bolt for an e&l....

       

      one of those things i dont wanna bodge another brand on either.

      Literally me yesterday while fiddling with my AAPs, one hammer lock thingy springs went flying.

      Now there's a selector plate/cutoff spring in there :D

      such a shame as the build is otherwise finished (internally) now i've got the titan to stop whinging.

  2. once again we find ourselves with a titan whining about not being able to see the sector gear....

     

    remind me why i decided to double down on this insanity?

      tis the advanced edition, didn't see anything the one above had apart from rankings?

      From what I can see in the GCS you can set the cycle detection to manual for both semi and auto.

      But I don't think it's worth the extra penny they ask for the expert.

      yeah, of course i don't wanna override the cycle detection cos otherwise what's the point of having a titan in there in the first place :P

       

      i'll strip the box later just check everything's running ok.

       

      in other news the warhead motor is an interesting beast, doesn't "feel" like it should be as torquey as it is but goddamn if it doesn't have insane pickup speed.

       

      this thing has the semi response of a 40rps gun in one that's only actually doing 18, which tbf was sort of what i was aiming for.

  3. wow, indeed a handy feature. you planning on doing anything to her?
  4. that's surprising, i mean it's exactly how e&l barrels are attached i'm just surprised an RS works the same way. i kinda presumed given their whole "these are made in an actual ak factory" deal that it would have been fixed, although i'm happy to be wrong on that one.
  5. ooh she's a beauty. curious how the outer barrel is mounted- is it removable or is it a case of you'd have to dissassemble the hop then pull the inner out the front?
  6. so 0.78j, fair bit of headroom. worth seeing what the shot to shot fps variation is, it's the litmus test for your air seal (the ± fps number you want as low as possible) no point putting a bigger spring in there till sure that extra energy is going out the barrel.
  7. for a cyma i'd be saying more likely air seal giving low/inconsistent fps. the stock hop unit/barrel are ok, maybe switch to the usual ml macaron+omega and stuff some heavier ammo. last cyma i worked on hadn't much trouble lifting .3's at 1j after some air seal work and fixing a shoddy downgrade (where they take a biro pen clicker spring instead of an actual aeg spring) you wanna go baller then combat union.
  8. Hmm ive seen that before, 1911's that happens when the sear has worn. Shouldnt be any issue rounding off that edge although it might be of limited help
  9. Welp, knew it would be bad, went anyway, expectations exceeded

      the usual stuff that puts you off airsoft combined with a big dose of "urgh not this again"

      Oh, I see.

  10. in fairness, depending on your personal standard of acceptable performance, all but the most premium brands (and i'm talkin systema not tm) might need tweaking out of the box. it can be as much about stock availability as anything else, some stuff you just can't get over here, or if you can it's so overpriced you might as well buy from overseas. in @Asomodai's example, even if he got stung with 50% of the value of 20 pps shells as charges he's still saving £44 buying abroad, if you ain't in a rush then it's worth it. meanwhile, i'm curious to see if DHL will stick to their claim of delivering yesterdays GS order next tuesday, if they do that'll say a hell of a lot about UPS given moscow is a tad further away than krakow and definately not in the eu......
  11. i must admit the ability of this forum to maintain civilized discussion/debate (even on potentially contentious issues) is a welcome break from the usual mess that makes up the internet.
  12. yeah i did take a look at the various suits, but gs was already bad enough at sucking my wallet dry for me to get a set just for the jacket.
  13. yeah, suppose running sleeveless any hope of camo has already gone out the window. not that i'm all that good at the hiding anyway, i'm more the be where ye aint looking type
  14. i can't wear a Hawaiian shirt, i wouldn't hear the end of the big luao/boogaloo/big igloo jokes...... looks like sticking to the plain grey t shirt it is
  15. do they do digiflora or spectre? problem is i don't do plate carriers (mans has enough padding without adding more) so ubacs style stuff doesn't work.
  16. on the subject of trousers..... a non-waterproof set in digi flora now i just need to find me an appropriate summer shirt.....
  17. welp, finally being let out to play again this weekend and just not feeling excited.

     

    guess i'm worried that the flood-gates opening will leave some poor sportsmanship for a month or so before it all settles down.

      Partly why I haven't booked a game until mid-May!

      guess i'll keep going through the motions and just go, suppose if i'm expecting it to be bad then hopefully it'll soften the blow.

       

      at least it's good enough weather now to get the dragonuv running

      My game at greenops last Saturday was a real joy. No moaning or griping all day.

      The sun was out and I think everyone was just pleased to be out and playing.👍

      Regards 

  18. Oh i was just taking the mickey at folk saying they were posting in the thread to boost their post count Not that post count alone means much to me anyway, i tend to remember usernames (which is why i'm glad folk on here dont change them too often otherwise i'd be confused as shit).
  19. Guys, your doing it wrong. If you want to bump your post count don't agree with people- start a massive argument
  20. can't say i've noticed anything odder than usual
  21. i did wonder, didn't someone mention one of the fb groups getting nuked a while back? maybe folk are drifting in from there after finding this place on google?
  22. you get used to it. although i suspect post lockdown i'll be sticking with the jg for a while got some CZ stuff off a mate is pretty good stuff, although it's pretty much a case of pick your favourite of the myriad gun oils/preservatives. just a spray on and a good wiping with a rag tends to bring it up a treat unless it's really been let go.
  23. good to be pleasantly surprised then. kinda funny how i was kinda obsessive about getting my m4 super lightweight (within the limits of believability at least), but i like my ak's with a bit of heft to them. dunno if you've already heard about it, but be prepared to be fighting the ol' rust, they do need to be kept clean and oiled (unless rusty is what you're going for)
  24. yeah e&l's are not exactly subtle when it comes to the weight department.
