yeah e&l's are not exactly subtle when it comes to the weight department.

and now i'm conflicted between both imagination and memory battling to decide which of those gets to give me ptsd.....

this is why there's 2fa- just in case your finger slips 10 times for each key of your password

indeed, anyone investing in a gbb akm is gonna want a proper steel reciever, afaik even WE got the memo on that one...... the m4 i suppose they can get away with because it's a popular platform and meant to be made of aluminium anyway.

ain't that just the question...... you can get the geoffs in bags of 3000, although you'll be wincing every shot: https://www.outdoorandtactical.co.uk/product/geoffs-precision-bbs-0-40g-3000-white

5fps doesn't sound too bad, not perfect but good enough. could be the preload difference compared to whatever you had it in previously, say a shorter box with thrust bearings on spring guide and piston compared to only one here. i'm guessing by the targets you're going for this is going to be a dmr platform, and the titan suggests precocking, in which case having thrust bearings on both ends isn't the worst option (i tend to avoid running piston bearings on auto guns to save piston weight/avoid pme but that's not relevent in a semi-only pew)

sounds like you've tested all the normal ports of call with air seal- cool idea trying it with the barrel mounted on the gearbox imma pinch that one. whats the fps consistency like? if you've got good static seal (which it sounds like you do) and there's not much variation in the fps on the chrono then i'd be inclined in this case to be thinking that the spring maybe isn't as strong as it claims to be. edit: also worth chrono'ing with the hop on a tad (for whatever weight you normally run or therebouts), if it's completely off can give bad readings.

it's custom work he does, the pics are customer's guns he's done. don't know what his rates are but presumably quite pricey, although the pics speak for why.... one of these days i'll have enough spare cash to comission the svd for such treatment.......

at least it's an accurate description of what you're looking for......

are you saying you don't want a gbbr that lets you hk-slap every 30 rounds.......

ooh a tm gbb mp5, or, well, tm gbb hk anything is gonna do some dethroning.....

isn't that just gonna be won by the 1" at 50m nuprol guy?

for the sake of clarity, is this "6mm ammo" you're talking about or somewhere different?

*triggered*....... granted it doesn't do so well in the cold, but the WE makarov is a damn fine gat otherwise. although the options are decidedly thin for anything adopted post 1950...... i mean is it too much to ask for a gsh-18?

i'm the same, i'm kinda just spitballing ideas based on the photo's of how it's setup. also kind of curious how the hop is setup (read is maple leaf an option?) as that's pretty much all i'd tend to be looking for in terms of mods.

a possibility then, although without seeing one in the flesh not sure how feasable taking a drill to it would be.

yeah that was the arnies link i was on about. out of interest, when you have yours apart to change the o-ring might be interesting to see if the piston head has any vents? if not, a possible modification there to get a good seal without a super tight o-ring, i have something similar going on in the makarov and it works surprisingly well (as in it'll cycle on noticably low amounts of gas) damnit, this is making me want to get one again.....

huh, the report button is right before share for me. browser issue? although it works on my main rig which has opera and every adblocking cookie killing script denying add-on under the sun.

it's the 3 little dots at the top right give you a drop-down menu

Maybe a seperate grach thread? I know @kasaran has been having some trouble with his, seems more mags though.

Tbh, its not something i've ever worried about, if i'm dropping a few hundred on a pew then dont see the point sweating over a few £ either way. But then i dont tend to haggle either- if i dont like the price i just dont buy it or wait for the seller to drop it to a level i'm ok with paying. Someone else jumps in and buys it in the meantime so be it.

Its not an argument i really understand. Just work out the fee's and postage before you list it and add it onto the total price. I mean your almost always tanking a massive depreciation loss when selling secondhand gear anyway.

iirc isn't the uk definition based on a design that came out before 1875? theirs might be something similar. tbh i can still see it killing canadian airsoft, reckon a lot of them would rather have nerferised pews than lever guns.

Also, those key holder reels are great- hook one onto the pin and if you set it up right you can pull the pin by extending your arm so you can throw it one handed.

i kinda wanna put 2 co-witness red dots on a pew now. come to think of it, manufacturers missing a trick- make a red dot that looks like a magnifier and a bb shield that looks like a red dot.
