fair enough, sounds like it's an alu reciever version. it's a tricky one to price, a rare beast, iirc mine was £350 for the steel version with polymer furniture although current pricing is hard to gauge with the rarity of these things. the setup you have there i'd be tempted to say starting in the £280-300 range with the mags and scope, although as mentioned i don't have the most solid frame of reference for saying that.

on the subject of zenitco'd aksu's grabbed a combat union hop and flash hider for my latest acquisition.

always something i wondered about is getting pulled over on the way to an airsoft game and having to explain why i have enough gats in the boot to invade a small country

i heard road trip!

Now that is a 200iq strat if ever i heard it

'evening you planning to take the kids out for a game? it's quite fun when the target is allowed to shoot back

sewing a pocket and adding a builder-style foam pad is absolutely viable, if you have the requisite sewing skills. i do preferr trouser mounted as it's the least intrusive method. that said, currently i don't use knee pads, but my game style generally allows that if i need to kneel i'm not doing it in a hurry nor being particularly mobile in a kneeled position.

tbh i reckon the shop will take a quick glance, decide it's not that bad, and stick it right back on the shelf.

hmm, if it's doing it with no load on the motor (assuming the motor spins freely) then it's either busted wiring causing a short, or the mosfet is dead.

Make sure its not something like the piston jamming (either clamped in the case or smacking the spacer) and that everything is able to spin freely. Otherwise, if you dont have ab enabled, it could have overrun and applied some precocking which is too much startup load for the motor? Also this is a good lesson on why fuses or a mosfet with a cutoff are a good idea- better you find out this way than find out when something starts sizzling.

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.
