Nope, no luck at all Funnily enough, I'm on the eagle6 site at the mo. I was using this pipe cutter - https://www.screwfix.com/p/3-28mm-manual-multi-material-pipe-cutter/49428 I'm in between Selby and Doncaster. It's driving me mental - Cos I know that when it works, the gun is awesome!

Trying to do the green gas mod, and after shagging two mags, I give up. First mag, took the valve/pipe out. Bought a pipe cutter - which dented the pipe, but wouldn't cut through. Bought another pipe cutter - which dented the pipe, but wouldn't cut through. Used a hacksaw - which went through the pipe. and the outlet valve underneath. Whilst I was doing this, my darling son had pinched the spring. And twisted it. A lot. Mag one down. So with this new found knowledge, moved on to Mag no 2. Got it all sorted, cut in the right place, rebuilt the mag. And now it won't hold gas. This gun, although I love it, is starting to annoy me. It's like having a gorgeous wife that won't shag you.......

How did it go?

I am very sad. Today, I went pewpew. But My MWS neither pewed, nor pewed. Started off with red gas, each mag managed about 12 shots before dying. Then ran out of red gas, so switched to ultra-air. And I was averaging 4-6 shots per mag. It made things....... interesting...... to say the least. I was gutted. And yet my MK23 worked just fine on the Ultra-air. It's a beautiful gun, but I am quickly falling out of love with it. I am very glad that a marshal lent me his rifle for the last couple of games, because as good as the MK23 is, having the extra capacity of the rifle was a Godsend! So - help! Wtf do I do, as i'm in danger of getting another gun and putting this one away til Summer (well, late Spring)... Not that I can afford another gun.

What's the tan thing on your mag?

It's excellent! Thank you for finding it! Bit tricky with mesh goggles though.

A few things - A nifty short silencer from @Samurai for my MK23 A few new mags for the the MWS and MK23 (although one's valve is buggered and vents) A TM XL speedloader An angrygun sling plate, which I've now fitted because the castle nut wrench finally arrived The case A Walther 4x scope I think that'll do for now...... Oh - and a dump pouch and a woodland camo waterproof....

I broke mine already Have added a new sling plate, but now can't get upper and lower receiver to join again - any help would be much appreciated! Pics click HERE fixed it - hurrah! Needed to unscrew the buffer tube one rotation

That would be beyond awesome if you could!

In terms of maintenance, what should I be doing to mine? Because I have no idea where to start! TIA.

@Wo1f - Can you use just the nub on its own? If so, what weight BBs can you use before you need to start altering other things? Which speedfills do you use? I'm still using the tube that came with it - and it's painfully slow!

And on a side note, I love how in the Badabing video he shows you how to dismantle the mag - but doesn't mention (or show) what an utter b**tard it is to get the flipping spring back in! When I was doing one, there should have been the Benny Hill theme tune going on in the background.

Cracking stuff - I'll be watching this closely! And probably maxing out my CC

As my little foray into magazine holding stocks failed miserably, I changed the problem I was trying to solve - easy access to ammo. Have just received a nice Condor recon rig, with a VT holster and hydration pack that clips into the chest rig. The chest rig holds 6 M4 mags and 6 pistol mags, so that should be plenty. And the hydration pack will fit a can of gas, spare BBs, speed-loader etc. Have had a play with the holster and it'll fit both my 18c and mk23, which is cool. It won't take the mk23 with its suppressor though - however, I'll only be using it outdoors, so can't see that being too much of a problem. Have also received my angry gun sling plate. However, annoyingly, the castle nut wrench has not arrived, so I can't put it on for tomorrow. The only sling mount point I have is on the end of the stock, so I'll have to be careful! *Edit* - and the Condor stuff is all going back. Well made and sturdy, but feels very unbalanced and hurts my back a great deal fully loaded. Back to the drawing board.

What do you think of it (I know you haven't had it long!) - I'm guessing you've had a play? I'm toying with getting one....

How do I find info about red dots combined with flip out magnifiers? Or is it the other way round? TIA

I'd be interested to hear what difference this makes to your G5 - have you done anything else to it?

Now that's what I don't understand. If my stock gun shoots at 320fps and the DMR ups it to 400fps, then I would have thought the whole point of an NPAS was that you would be able to get anywhere from 400fps downwards? Otherwise why would anyone bother? Are there other NPAS units available that would actually work in the range between what the DMR is capable of and lower? Any ideas much appreciated

I'm looking at adding NPAS to my G5 - but the wording on this confuses me. Specifically: "Please note that this nozzle will only allow adjustability below what can be expected from a standard factory version." But if you have a DMR or Carbine kit, the FPS goes up - So I would have thought you could use the nozzle to vary anywhere between factory standard and upper limit of the conversion? So - what does it actually mean? TIA
