  1. Had a blast at killhouse last night - but OMG, my arse hurts from being hit with a trishot!

      I was at Eversley, pretty good day, but the weather killed me and am feeling my age, Tippmann got it's first outing.

      @Duff - that's a shame. How come you won't fly solo?
      There's always loads of people to team up with.....
      I'm a solo player, cos otherwise I'd never ever play!

      Because I'd rather go with a group or at least some people I know.

  3. Hopefully patrolbase are bringing one to the skirmish today for me 😄
  4. I've found something that might be better. It's certainly lighter than most of the freefloat rails I've seen. https://www.rifleworks.co.uk/products/fab-defense-m4-polymer-handguard-3-rail I presume in order to not have the front sight post, I'd need something else to stop it all from falling apart?
  5. Thankfully I've got the wrench! Everything in the box came in bits, so I'm not sure which bit you mean? The pic is everything I've got in the box. Thanks for the offer - if I haven't managed it by then, I'll take you up on it! Two questions - which bit in the pic is the aftermarket barrel nut? And could you direct me toward the right kind of adaptor please? As you know, I'm shit at this stuff - but I'm learning! 😁
  6. I got hold of a 7" bocca series 2.... No instructions 😞 And I'm flummoxed...... https://photos.app.goo.gl/mzBxpHSJIu7Ar5Gy2 How on Earth do you fit it? I had a look for videos and the only one I found was for an ares that looks/ works nothing like this one...
  7. The standard rails, gas tube and iron sight come to a total of 400g. Thank good that iron sight is off! Now I need to find a replacement rail that's a lot less than that! Or Is there any reason why I can't run it without a handguard?
  8. You can BUY IT NOW used, for just £200. Bargain of the decade!!!!! https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Rifle-scope/263707693905?hash=item3d66341351:g:fFYAAOSwWDBbBaeE OR, you could buy it new, for a fair bit less: http://www.patrolbase.co.uk/airsoft/vortex-crossfire-ii-3-9x40-riflescope-with-dead-hold-bdc-moa.htm You can actually find it even lower than that, but it's not in stock at the mo.....
  9. Any idea what the weight difference is, by any chance - might be a good way forwards! The ARP 2Kg, the MWS is 2.97Kg. I've not tried playing with the MWS - Just shouldered it. Part of the problem is most of the weight is at the front, where I need my left hand to be doing the load bearing. With the Arp, it's further back - possibly cos it's more compact anyway....
  10. I've just bought one in the hopes it will make a difference - I can't turn my hand to support the gun like I normally would - and I get fatigued too quickly for the MWS at the moment as well. I'm desperate to play with my MWS again, so I'm hoping a two point might make it possible. By nicest, I'm guessing most expensive? lol At the moment I'm just running a battle belt and have an arp9 on single sling.
  11. Sorry for being dim - what's the EBR? What sort of sling do you guys run with? I'm desperate to use mine, but at the mo only have a single point sling, and I can't take the weight. Any recommendations?
  12.  I need a better storage system.
    As opposed to thrown all over the bedroom floor, in the wardrobe, in the bookcase, on the bookcase, next to the bookcase, in the bureau, on the bureau, behind the bed, under the bed.
    Christ on a bike there's a lot of stuff.

      i like having guns strewn about the place, great way to discourage visitors

      The dogs see they never make it past the front door 😄 

  13. Dye i4 woody arrived today. It's comfy, but I'm not sure about the quality of the lens. Seems to be some kind of horizontal line across the middle. Not sure if it's reflections or what. Looking forward to trying it out though!
  14. I've used ultrair, nuprol green and red. No problems with any. Red is for when it's cold out!
  15. Out shot a sniper yesterday. With my MK23 - woooohooooo!
    I just wish skirmshop would get hold of some mk23 barrels! 
    I ended up running it as primary for a couple of games, cos my lipo ran out and I lost my spare.
    sooooooooo much fun!
    Hopefully I'll be CQBing on Wednesday - same gun + tracer 😄 

  16. They mentioned that - and the magwell, trigger and hammer. But it's already a thing of beauty - why on Earth would I want to sully it?? lol
  17. Perusing the classifieds earlier and ended up with @rocketdogbert's spectre and shottie. Followed this up with a trip to Urban to have my hpa tank filled. Came away with a full tank..... And a CZ sp01 shadow, two mags, a holster, co2 bulbs, a vertical ris grip, bottle of RZR tracers and bottle of blaster tracers. Now the question is, will I get to use the tank tomorrow.... I hope so!
  18. Good News: RIF arrived!
    Bad News: It doesn't work 😞

    Gutted.
    At least the scope arrived and is good.

      A&K S24 - I wanted to have a bash at sniping, but didn't fancy spending a million on it....

      Well at least you didn't waste even more money on a Novritsch branded one. 

       

      Interesting side note; Novritsch trieds to autocorrect to Novelty.

      Lol - It was an article on the S24 vs SSSG24 that made me think....
      There's about £500 in it difference!

  19. Delivery day!
    At some point. Fingers crossed.....

  20. £1126!!!!! Ex delivery & customs..... hmmm. Nope!
  21. 20% Off code for frv tailoring, with free delivery. Valid today only.
  22. Leave it stock. Already has a tight bore barrel and the hop unit is good for .28s which it can fire a decent range with good accuracy. Save your pennies up for your next RIF then keep this one as back up...
  23. Northern Shooting Show today - Just sold a load of stuff so I have pennies to spend! Hope there are some good deals to be had 😄

      Jealous... I haven't been to a shooting show in a while... May have to get to the next one in knebworth 

  24. Love this track. Although it saddens me too.
  25. Thanks for the advice chaps. All fixed and back in working order, looking pretty as ever. I can't wait til I'm strong enough to use it in anger again 😄 Edit: @Wo1f - I just found this if it's of any interest: https://www.ebay.co.uk/i/302500214811?chn=ps&adgroupid=59254217168&rlsatarget=pla-623069070912&abcId=1134056&adtype=pla&merchantid=119192612&poi=&googleloc=1006991&device=c&campaignid=1340838148&crdt=0
