I am afraid to say that there no mainstream airsoft manufacturers who currently make wood grips for the WE Makarov the close you could get is the brown Fakelite  these ones here   https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/WE-Brown-Grip-For-WE-Makarov-GBB-Series-WE0557-/281684074973 

You could try to find surplus wood grips for the Makarov but I do not think there were many (if at all) that actually, real steel pistols manufactured that would have had the wood grips.

The American gun/surplus stores might have some but most properly will not ship to the UK.

hmm, food for thought. i have some contacts who might be able to source real steel ones which will possibly need modded to fit.

will have to see. kick off it's lovely though

See that blue dude? He got nothin on me son, nothin...

see that yellow dude? that's me right now.....

Fried like an egg! ?

escarmouche, tis in ni, i'll maybe write a review depending on how it goes. it's a shame because it's got so much potential if they put a bit of effort into properly marshalling the place, they've got a good thing going but the last 4 sessions it's been the same story of people not taking hits descending into anarchy, and a session shouldn't be something to dread.

still, hope springs eternal, i'm not the only one who feels this way and we're going to let them know it's one last chance to see some pro-active game control.

Seems the same as X-site, same old same old. Unfortunate. Hope all goes well

yeah, i mean the guy that runs it is nice enough, and he's putting the effort into tweaking the game design and trying out new things, as well as physically improving the site.

but sadly that doesn't mean much if it's infested with cheaters and they aren't doing anything about it.

Well this is going to be more my "so you wont take your hits eh?" Gun for when the m4, f2000, m203 and mg42 have failed to provide sufficient persuasion.

Also because its tiny and light.

Tis a jg recoil one, but the recoil will be the first thing coming out of it, needs a delayer chip but otherwise it's already a decent wee hose.

Although considering the potential to half stroke it and trade a little accuracy for a swarm of angry bees

Didn't even know JG did recoil stuff, is it a TM clone or something?

dunno, it's a different system to the pneumatic ones g&g use, regardless it's getting removed for the sake of reliability.

Is there just a pit of broken airsoft guns laying in a field somewhere? 

nah it's a mate's tanaka, needed some corrective surgery for it's previous "creative" gunsmithing repairs.

did not feed, i think the p90 tappet plate is the issue, it's not drawing far enough back, so i guess i'm stuck having to find an actual f2000 one now.....

buggery. and f2000 parts aren't exactly plentiful here either. might be worth checking places like evike or ebay US and see if theres some cheap shipping

yeah, it's a pita, maybe at some point i should just polarstar it.

my side option would be an extention plate on the sector gear with a longer stroke.

How in the fuck did you manage that?

dropped it sideways onto the mag, thought the mag was the only bit got bent, but looks like the reciever is aluminium and easy bent.

fortunately there's plenty of room inside so i think i'm going to get some steel bar and bolt it on the sides to reinforce it.

possibly, i can't decide between old school akm, ak74u with folding stock and big can, or going dmr with a gbb dragonuv.

either way the most modern thing i'd put on an ak is a red dot, and that's only because red dots rule

You could get a PK-AS sight for it

possibly, i'll likely run with irons for a while then make my mind up.

although i tend to find any gun running irons i tend to revert to just watching bb impacts, whereas a well zeroed red dot has me actually aiming with it.

I would imagine version 6 gearboxes are shimmed like tight version 3's. Where you shim the box like normal making a note of the shim count either side of every gear. Then just take the tappet and sector with the other side of the gearbox and work out how many shims need to move to that side for the tappet to run free. Then make that adjustment to the other gears and check it's all running nice. It does mean you get some funky pinion engagement at times but it's normally decent enough that it's not going to cause problems.

 

Its not the gears are my problem, its the tappet itself, the original tappet broke and the guarder tappet thats in there now is a smidge on the tight side at the front of the box between the nozzle and the case.

Even at it's infamous 1500rpm that's still £10 per minute! I imagine yours could shoot a lot faster too.

thought the original was 1200rpm?

that's what mine's shooting at anyway.

had an engagement with a chap using a glock carbine and somehow i ran out of ammo first  that's what i get for understanding the principle of suppresive fire.

Theres a bit of debate on that. 1200 rpm was the average - depending on the bolt installed it was anywhere between 900-1500 rpm

it is, but not as bad as you'd think when you consider you don't need any spare mags/speedloaders/other random paraphernalia just the gun and a bag o bb's

I need to convince my lazy mate who owns a M249 to sell it to me...He hasn't played since October.  Just the gun and nothing else does sound very appealing. 

definately a good idea man, support guns offer a completely different kind of fun when you can do actual suppressive fire and hold an entire team at bay.

most fun i've ever had airsofting was when i borrowed a mate's m60, only time i've seen people blatantly not taking hits and not got annoyed about it because i'd killed them about 20 times per person and i sympathised with the hopelessness of their plight.

admittedly you can get the same effect with an arp9 and a drum mag for the same weight as just the stock on the mg, but there's something so satisfying about having a freaking massive gun.
