  1. Anyone with experience on Airsoft Direct preorders?

  2. Ignoring the boot drama in GenHelp.  Good day at the MAW, shottie ran well and the ZCI barrel I put in the M16 is for the trash.  Put a maple leaf in it and the difference is night and day

      Well nice to meet you! I was one of the snipers on the blue side. First time visiting the MAW

      Found some shocking QC with them recently, why I stopped selling them:
       

       

  3. Whats the opinions on VFC GBBr's?  eyeing the M16a1/XM177e2 at the moment.  its a brand i have not had any dealings with so far

      I'd love an MWS for it.  but paying £800 for the a1 receiver, £120 for the stock and £300 for the m16 front end aaaand the £400 base gun a bit steep.  If TM did an M16 gbb then i wouldnt hesitate to get it

      bloody hell that's pricey i can see why you wanna go vfc now

      As GiantKiwi suggested, use a WE as a base. I've built 4 L119's based on WE M4's and they are great. Performance is excellent, parts are cheap if required and easy to get and real steel stock tubes , stocks, grips etc fit.

  4. sooo, somehow bent in one of the prongs of my tm recoil mk18.... considering how thick it is, i am amazed, anyone done this and successfully bent it back? its too narrow now for bbs.  It makes a good tuning fork as it is now

     

    1. Pseudotectonic

      Pseudotectonic

      the flash hider? i suppose you can unscrew it, clamp the base with a vice (wrap it with something soft), and try to bend the prong back out

       

      just don't try to bend it back while it's on the gun to avoid collateral damage

  5. run down to todays game.  M16 zci inner barrel clean did not fix the woeful scatter gun accuracy.  it was fine the first 3 outings.  might try and get a new hop rubber. unless this is the cautionary tail for zci QC.

     

    Also, one of my tm 5-7 mags seems to have had the seal blow at the top. it was stored containing ASG matinence gas. so thats another thing to fix...

  6. Anyone else buy that 3d printed pistol stand from the midlands airsoft fair?  being told it is made to fit any double stack pistol, it was 3mm too wide for a M9, P226, Grach, 5-7, G19 and desert eagle...  it was cheap, and after a time with a dremmel it works great. but amazed at how off the fitment was

    1. Adolf Hamster

      "any double stack"

       

      Doesnt even fit a glock.....

       

      That's some top tier sizing right there

      Much like "Universal" car parts. Fits nothing unless you spend hours making it fit.

  7. the annoyance of finding out that nuprol vn short midcap mags dont fit or feed into a G&P M16a1

      I might be interested in buying a few of these off you if you want to cut your losses!

      To be fair, 99% of the VN mags are shite anyway 😂

    4. kasaran

      kasaran

      well, compared to the G&P vn mags, the plastic top was double the thickness on the Nuprols.  a file down later as @Rogerborg said and its a tight fit, but they go in with a love tap and feed now. 

  8. Anyone regularly use FBS Ball Grenades?  i brought 3 from jdairsoft, and on two of them the fuse blew when i pulled the ring and didnt dentonate beyond.  only 1 out of 3 worked... bit of an unreasonable failure rate

      Pretty small sample size though

    2. kasaran

      kasaran

      True, but as a consumer im not going to continue purchasing them when I have had a failure rate of 66.66%.  £11 wasted...

       

      I'm hoping others who have used them more may corroborate my experiance or make out that I have just been unlucky so far...

      Never had an issue with FBS ball grenades not going off.  I believe the ring pull pyro need to be pulled in a specific direction/way to ignite properly which is why I stick with the striker top version. I made velcro patches of striker paper I put on my gear so even if I lose the striker top of the grenade, I can still light it.

  9. Great game at Finmere C&C today, pitty I had to go a little early.  RPK was doing some work.  And the biggest thank you goes to the 'press' guy for the best revive of the day, you know who you are!

  10. funny how in my early airsoft 'career' i amassed a plethora of nimh batteries of all different sizes.  now i just put the same 7.4 lipo in basically everything but the couple of pews that wont fit them

    1. strykerles

      strykerles

      I donated all my nimh batteries to my local site to use in their rentals. I only use an AK so i use the same slim stick lipo for them all

  11. Nice to see royal mail working well.  Two orders were due today.  The parcel from AK2M4 arrived fine.  The tracked 24hr package from bullseye was due today.  But the last update was 'arrived at your local depot' at 9am this morning.... all I wanted to fit my new barrels tonight so i can test my pews while home alone

      Mine have been fine so far, though only fitted two so far. What were the complaints?  If it's diameter discrepancy, I won't be able to check that

    3. ak2m4

      ak2m4

      loads of reports of bb crud build up, although it could be from people not cleaning their pipes properly.  personally i always cleaned mine after every game-day.  what could be happening with zci is the molds they use need replacing.  this is why I've invested quite a lot in getting my own made now under the XT brand.  if you haven't already seen check out the borescope video

      whats the verdict on PPS barrels? and maple leaf? not touched the latter since buying a crazy jet on a dmr years ago (long since sold on that pew)

  12. I assume an MWS with an M16A2/4 body kit would be better than the WE M16A3 GBBr....  asking for a friend

    1. Hobbnob

      Hobbnob

      depends on the make. G&P yes, Angry Gun no

    2. kasaran

      whats up with the angry gun, so far its the only one i have found

    3. Hobbnob

      It's quite common for them not to fit together at all, and it's also quite common for them to fit together just enough to visually fit, but not be able to fire properly

  13. 5 weeks since my ankle got twisted after being run into at the MAW and now I can be upright without swelling. 

     

    Heres to hoping I can run around the woods again soon (or im going to have one massive but sad carboot sale)

  14. AK2M4 get your 495mm/499mm barrels in stock plz

    1. ak2m4

      ak2m4

      haha thanks for the reminder.  i've noticed zci have had a few qc issues recently so i'm trying to get my own barrels made however will still continue to sell zci

    2. Lozart

      Dibs on one too!

    3. kasaran

      can we add a 590mm to that too plz?

  15. cant remember, do you get an email if your ukara gets renewed?

    1. kasaran

      kasaran

      Fair, i guess i just have to wait longer.  Been told the request has been sent to skirmish

  16. ZCI barrel and maple hop fitted into the cyma ak fine with some minor gains.  267-273fps went up to 293-304fps.  Would have liked more, curious as to the increased bracket of fps too. 

     

    Wonder what it means for my cylinder volume, would a shorter or longer barrel of the same narrowed diameter have provided better gains?  its gone from a 6.03 or 6.08x450 (sources vary depending on patrol base or taiwangun) to a 6.02x450.

     

    If cyma made the cylinder volume a perfect match, I guess I should try a slightly longer barrel...

     

     

    1. kasaran

      Worked out something, Ignore patrol bases information.  its a 500mm stock barrel, so mine is 50mm shorter.... no wonder i didnt get the jump i expected... guess i'll put the 450 in my l85

       

  17. review of the Specna Arms easy change spring... its a lie.  It doesnt count when you need to take the gear box out of the receiver... or try to, realising you need to by the worlds smallest allen key to remove a grub screw from the mag release

    1. kasaran

      kasaran

      managed it, now im going to be paranoid about movement in the motor grip. im sure i reseated it correctly though 😅

       

      Motor height adjustment is also threadlocked in.... is that from specna arms or JDAirsoft?

    2. Rogerborg

      Rogerborg

      Huh, which Specna is that? My Edge M4 can change it through the buffer tube.

    3. kasaran

      kasaran

      SA-H04, the 416 version with the funky stock, so in that regard, its self inflicted.  The anoyance was getting so far before realising the mag release was held in by the worlds smallest grub screw causing me the scavenge neighbours allen key sets

  18. If you get to a point when you think your collection is complete, do you find yourself planning on tinkering and upgrading?

     

    on that note, AK hop ups.... is the nub the same as normal M4 style ones or do i need to look for different things?

      Skara

      My collection IS complete.

      Four AEGs, one bolt action, one NBB pistol, three GBBs.

      All tweaked and tinkered with multiple times. Don't think I'll buy anything else in the near future.

       

      Right now I'm throwing myself into the endless money pit because I want to turn my 933 (that is not a 933 anymore) into the lightest gun I can build for my 24+ hour games :)

      strykerles

      Personally I rip apart all my aegs if there's something that I don't like after first use

       

      applies for my VSS, SGR12 (cyma), SVD and my Bren

       

      got them to where i like them, only take them apart for servicing now

       

      My RPK is looking at me funny though, might need to sort it out 😄

  19. thanks for the fix

  20. anyone know how to take the foregrip off a specna arms H04?  mine has a slight wobble.  cant work out how to tighten let alone remove to shim

    1. kasaran

      kasaran

      i believe the bolts are threadlocked, joys

  21. Are Geoff's bio BB bags also bio? Because the bags are falling apart in storage.  The bbs within are still good though.

    1. Rogerborg

      This why I always double-bag my balls!

       

      (Not a euphemism or an analogy)

  22. So ZCI hop up and new barrel upped the fps of my m16 to 356 on 0.2, 312 on 0.25 and 296 on 0.28....   How can i drop it down by 10fps?  only thing i can think of is sawing off 1cm of barrel?

      no no, The stock g&p 509mm innerbarrel has the same fps on 0.2 as the 340mm zci inner barrel i have for an m4.  the 356fps is from the 509mm zci inner barrel i was wanting to swap the stock one for

    3. ak2m4

      ak2m4

      2 different guns yeah?  they will have different cylinder types, ported and non-ported

    4. kasaran

      kasaran

      nooo, i slipped it into the m16 out of curiousity as the m4 is current waiting for a new body.  all of these readings are from the g&p m16

  23. spot the difference?

    Kinda want one, but confused over the pictures, would rather the PB sighted one... but for £20...

  24. Yesterday was a reminder of why i have sank so much money into this game.  Was an awesome day, pulled off some sneaky plays and came away buzzing, still was this morning.

  25. Leaking 40 Mike fill valve.  cleaning: no fix, soaking in silicone oil: no fix...  its leaking on the low pressure maintinence gas too... any advice?

    1. kasaran

      kasaran

      it appears to be coming out the centre of the valve and not round the outside where the O-ring is
