Must be fun working for sig Thats some premium psychoactive substances theyre giving their design team.....

that's because all you people running tilting barrel pistols and not embracing the straight blowback master race

"Field expedient" Yeah, although weird as some of it is, it also seems to work quite well.

afaik that isn't so much a bodge as they use the same mount? but yeah the NIT-A is the most extreme of the examples, but even the 1P63 is pretty damn high and i can confirm a riser of some form is basically a requirement.

i was wearing lowa's i just have soft feet thanks to too much time sedentary over lockdown.

ladies and gentlemen let me present the NIT-A: https://russianoptics.net/NIT-A.html because even a beard weld isn't enough bore offset.....

thank you, they don't even have any pt5's to tempt me either

wasn't there a shell ejecting ppk as well? i vaguely remember that being a thing. they've never really gained much popularity because the performance tends to be lacking and the shells are a pain to collect and too expensive to just leave lying.

the grub screws should be in the reciever end of the barrel? if memory serves they're under the handguard but can be accessed via pre-drilled holes. where you've got them pictured there shouldn't be anything clamping the barrel in up there.

i know i'm like 3 pages back here, but the CU hop unit is my go-to hop unit for ak's and fits e&l/lct just fine. runs macarons and pdi just fine, and can be a bit of wrestling to get it into the gun but you get it setup right it's solid as anything. reminds me i need another for my latest acquisition...... edit: anyone know any uk shops do them? if i go to GS imma bankrupt myself..... kinda missed it myself, feel like it went very out of proportion from my original intent, still gives me some light evenings reading to actually go through it properly rather than skim it in 5 minutes this morning.

just back from an 8 mile walk, small beans to some i'm sure but not for my fat ass post lockdown. weirdly me legs are fine it's just me feet, need to walk more regular methinks.

it's probably a range, 455ish being optimal and decreasing to 509ish before it really becomes noticable. of course having said all that, for the 20 seconds when my mg42 was still an aeg it had no problems with accuracy whatsoever on a 650mm barrel......

i've not had any issues with disintegrating spring guides on the e&l's, but it's good to know the ZCI is a drop-in replacement if i ever do.

well that escalated quickly my original point, to be clear, is that because barrel length alone is a very minor factor for the performance of a pew, so if you want to run a short gun outdoors then you absolutely can and there's no need to feel like you're at a performance disadvantage for doing so. the other factors such as energy output, fps consistency, ammo quality/weight, hop setup etc all matter so much more for the task of actually slinging a bb downrange. hell the most accurate, well performing long range gun i ever built was on a 247mm barrel. likewise if you want to run a longer barreled gun, either for having the length to poke through hedges or just because you like longer guns, that's also perfectly fine. remember because you want to is as valid a reason as any in this hobby. i believe the argument there is that's 455 is the longest inner barrel that can be correctly volumed by a standard full stroke aeg cylinder, hence why some platforms (such as SR25's and SVD's) can come with extended cylinders/pistons to get a bit more volume. of course it's a moot point when talking about bolties, gbbr's or hpa's given those operate differently.

We'll just say nuprol is the dreamer for selling cqb floor sweepings as new bb's

Must just be iphone? Not seeing it on android?

Never used g&g but geoffs have served me well in all the guns i've used em in.

Yeah it looks like it's gotten wobbly on its axis pin and ended up jammed at a weird angle, given the op claimed to have forced it with a screwdriver in the last thread she might be in bad shape. New trigger pack is probably the only option at this point.

Ooh, looking at them pics looks like the hammer has caught on the inside of the trigger pack? Edit: also i'm not an expert on glocks, but arent there meant to be 2 roller bearings on the hammer? Looks like its only got one?

I suppose technically they should work, but there's the paper specs and there's reality as you've found out. Even more, for the countries where fps limits are whatever the gun can do without exploding

why not? barrel length has very little impact on performance (when all the other factors for performance are taken into account) only thing a longer barrel is good for it the ability to poke it through hedges for better concealment.

yeah, i was agreeing with you but i opened in a way that sounded like i wasn't lol. can i ask why you were putting nuprol bb's in an mws? surely you'd want a top end gat to be fed the finest food?

in fairness same factory just means same building, the cheaper brands can still use different tooling with an argument being that the cheaper brands use the tools that have worn out to where they're unacceptable for the premium brands. alternately steps with minor benefits can be skipped (eg polishing stages) or perhaps rounds off the line that fail to meet the tolerance spec for brand A get given to brand B who have wider tolerances. and ofc raw material can come in 2 entirely different grades from entirely different suppliers. the tl:dr being even if nuprol bb's are made in the same factory as geoffs, doesn't make them not shit

that's some memory..... after looking at the old thread, does the hammer now hold in the cocked position at all? the forcing it up with a screwdriver thing makes me think option number 1 of a broken sear is a possibility. the screw that was removed looks like it's the main retention for the whole trigger pack, did you remove the trigger pack at all? because if so then candidate number 2 (which may have been your original problem) would be a mis-aligned/jammed/unsprung transfer bar.

does the gun dry fire with the magazine removed and the slide racked? as in the hammer drops properly?
