is it bad that i'm starting to think you might as well spray the remaining black parts a slightly darker shade of pink for the 2-tones effect. please, someone, snap me out of this.....

indeed, enough to push it over if precocking is involved not sure it'd do enough on a standard setup.

i know the feeling. i just use belt rigs, i'm not worried about stopping actual bullets and i have enough frontal padding without adding several inches of carrier and mags on top

yeah, i'm running one of those 30k's on a 7.4v on 12:1 and it's not fast enough to give ab any issue stopping it (kinda the point of the stupid strength those motors have) do you have any kind of precocking enabled? could be the mild rps jump from the deans switch has pushed it just over the threshold

i'm assuming from the context you're making something with molle yourself, so the ability to move a pouch up/down is probably not relevant given you're gonna be putting the strips where you want them anyway.

ahh so the mosfet has been in there a while and working fine?

i presume having no spacing is simply to allow you to mount things up/down in finer increments depending on taste.

not so much a dreamer post, but a thing i noticed on an ad and it's not really worth making a new topic: why oh why g&g did you make the best airsoft mg42 on the market, a true work of art, then ruin it by stamping "made in taiwan" in massive fuckin letters on the side i'm not the worlds biggest markings freak but there are some lines that should not be crossed......

i wouldn't call that a service, that's most of the internals..... when you say black talon i presume you mean the spectre? i'd be tempted to say try her on the original trigger contacts (leave the rest of the build as-is) see if there's something in how the mosfet is operating causing the problem.

now i get to be reminded i still can't play

Funny i was thinking there about the irony that i dislike the l85 for being too damn heavy In my defence its only heavy after i plastered it in stuff that looks cool but had limited usage in outdoor daylight games..... and then the idea fairy struck and was like "you should definately mount that gen1 scope on it too just to really go over the top"

Can i just jump in to point out the irony of proper folding being a bad idea on ar's when putting buffer tubes on guns that can have proper folders apparently isnt

welcome to soviet firearms you think the siderail is bad try plastering an ak in zenitco...... and then mounting a pbs-4 on it......... and buying the steel lct version that's like 1.75lb.......... on the plus side i don't need to go to a gym to weightlift any more

not so much a fan of that front hood myself, but airsoft optics are about 90% personal taste (until you're wanting to put the money into something with decent parallax) the mini red dot (open rmr type thing) i think doesn't work so well on a siderail, just looks like a lot of mount with not a lot of optic. however they do work quite nicely on a gas tube mount. although again that's a personal taste thing.

on a siderail those super cheap 1x30 tube optics look kind of decent, poor man's pk-a: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Goetland-Reflex-Rifle-Scope-Mounts/dp/B074LHCRGJ/ref=sr_1_14?dchild=1&keywords=1x30mm+red+dot]&qid=1616704840&sr=8-14 ^note they can be found in that style cheaper, it's just the first hit on amazon. granted they're *ahem* "airsoft grade" when it comes to parralax at least going by the one i have which is presumably churned out from the same factory.

that's the system i preferr, seems more solid at retaining zero than the ones integrated into the top cover. gas block/sight block mount works too although not good for magnified. one thing i would suggest is going for something low-profile/without risers, by the time you get to the siderail there's already a fair chunk of bore offset on an ak, although granted it seems like the russians don't care going by the state of their optics.

while you wait? i'd just keep saving in the meantime and not get anything, bigger budget+ukara=shinier pew, you don't have too far to go before you can look at some of the cracker budget guna it's pretty much the same as any other forum find a gun you like, message the seller, strike a deal in conversation, pay by paypal and they'll post out. you do still need a defence to get a non 2-tone secondhand i'm afraid. in terms of scams, well there's nothing perfect, but generally i'll stick with the following: if it sounds too good to be true it probably is, you can occasionally get cracker bargains on here but if something seems off just walk away, patience is the key. keep all conversation on here, don't go using email/text message as if there's an issue it'll be harder for the admin to help out and ban the scammer. always pay with paypal goods and services, never with friends and family. if the seller asks to pay f&f pay goods and services but add the fees on top yourself (you can google the rates), friends and family has zero comeback if they pull a fast one what that won't necessarily protect you from however is the hidden demons, most commonly from bad tech-work but it's worth noting that this doesn't mean the seller is intentionally selling a gun with a problem, folk can sell stuff with no idea what's going on under the hood. even brand new guns aren't immune from this, but if you've bought brand new from a retailer (especially uk based) then at least you can send it back (they'll normally "repair" which can very depending on the skills of the shop tech), however with a second hand gun it's entirely caveat emptor. unfortunately the only sure-fire way to protect yourself from that issue is to be proficient enough at tech work yourself to be able to fix a gun that has problems like that, which is why it's generally not considered the wisest idea to jump straight into buying secondhand for your first gun. ^solid advice there, if you're gonna spend on anything spend on that.

as much as we all know the excitement of wanting to get yourself setup, why not wait a bit? keep saving, wait for sites to re-open, do your games to get ukara and have a bigger budget to have some fun with?

tbh, red dot. the main thing magnification is useful for in airsoft is shot-tracking, but if you've got the gun dialed in and are shooting at an honest target you can do anything at airsoft ranges with no magnification. how are you planning on mounting? siderail ris/top cover or gas block?

as @Shamal suggests it's probably gonna be a stretch to get something new and get attatchments. first things first- have you played to get ukara etc? because that's gonna affect your options (fewer 2-tones going through the classifieds) next is have you any equipment already? things like eye-pro, batteries, chargers etc or are you trying to get a full starter package for that budget? i'd suggest forgetting about attatchments initially, easy enough to pick up things like scopes/flashlights/grips etc cheap off the classifieds as and when they pop up.

suddenly i understand why the WE luger's hop unit is upside down......

yep. why make brand new custom moulds when you can take last years worn out moulds, mill it out a bit, call it a "reinforced" receiver and sell the same internals as a brand new gun. it's tricky because cheap m4's are what sell, and whilst it's understandable why it's so popular as a platform it does get a bit samey after the 1000th m4 on the field. it's one of the things i respect companies like WE for, as much as they get hate for their hit/miss quality they at least have the cajones to make stuff nobody else does (and have a decent enough supply of parts where you aren't afraid to skirmish their rarer pieces).

The out of stock thing i dont think is corona related, i think its mostly a combination of lazy updating of sites and the desire to make a small business look bigger by listing a wide array of stock. Its been that way since before the 'rona

hmm, so not the thrust bearings then. generally i like to run at least one on the guide but skip the one in the piston to save weight. in terms of ported/unported cylinders, aeg's have a bit of flexibility (hpa's for example tend to be much more sensitive to volume where it really does matter, but then you can also adjust it much easier). i have run unported cylinders on shorter barreled builds in the past and it's worked fine. better to be over than under, and ultimately if the gun shoots good it shoots good, doesn't matter how you acheive it. by all rights it *shouldnt* make a difference if the existing volume is correct, but evidently there's something weird going on here.
