  1. leaky mag diagnosis.  what is wrong when a mag seems to leak loudly when shaken from the top firing valve?  Asking for a friend

      Sounds like maybe the valve is not closing fully after being struck.

      You can test by immersing in water when filled with gas and watching for bubbles. No harm will befall it just make sure its dried well after ?

      i assume it supposed to be assisted by a spring?  if so, then i think raptor need to invest in stronger springs, as some of the others on the gun are very much underpowered

      Yeah a weak spring but also assisted by internal gas pressure.

  2. Tbh if you think of the selling fee as VAT then its kinda ok? i agree it should be accounted for when naming your price. want £10 for it? place the advert for £11 or £11.50. there are plenty of calculators on google work working that stuff out.
  3. Does anyone find themselves also favouring guns in games that match those in your collection?  Counterpoint, did the games influence the purchase.  definately guilty of both here

      Mines the other way round. whenever I buy a new gun and am waiting for it to arrive I tend to look for it in a game and play with it.

  4. i dont know if it would help, but i have this bookmarked as a fall back ukara fill in? assuming that is the issue? https://www.onlyairsoft.com/product/country-cover-club-re-enactment-membership-insurance/ though buying ukara kinda removes the idea behind it in my opinion? personally i wonder if its something up with the paperwork? as long as your ukara was valid at time of purchase it should be fine i'd hope
  5. ups are an american company? so maybe its in the american date format. soooo 4th of july?
  6. tbh, the stock feels solid, and only comes off if i hold the lever, i doubt i'll adjust it too often in game im just glad it got delivered and sounds like it fired well. chrono sheet is a solid 345fps too thanks for letting me know what it was though. it looks a little like an antireversal latch (in my inexperienced mind for teching) so was a little confused. the grach came with one leaky mag from the bottom valve. the two spares seem to hold (they both came with enough pressure to just about cycle once) but i have run out of gas, so i cannot check further. slide feels very stiff though, may need some fettling
  7. thanks, no spring there, i guess thats why it was loose and jamming the stock. seems to work ok without it at the moment though. casualty from the spring chamge i guess?
  8. Well guys. My journey on this has ended. It has arrived by UPS. Order placed on the 1st of march. UPS collecting it on the 4th. Taxes paid on the 9th.... Ukara expired on the 27th. Delivered 7th april. It appears to have not been opened... the raptor mp443 is hella lubey xD And the mp5 retractable butt stock wouldnt come out so i removed the back plate and this fell out. No idea where it was. But it works now. Fire pretty nice too.
  9. the next 3 hours are going to be poorly focused on work, and more on the schrodingers ups delivery
  10. mhm, mine made it to the northampton depot, so, if true, it should be on its way ?
  11. oh my, i did not expect this any time soon, but me too
  12. GUYS GUYS GUYS we have a new status? what on earth does that mean
  13. Mines just getting the warehouse scans. Still held in customs i think
  14. The issue with lazers I feel is that its easy to say you wont aim at the face. But when someone peeks a corner at you, and the only thing you can shoot at is their face, what do you do? not shoot? Because everyone, me included would instinctively fire off a few rounds at said peaking individual. With a lazer on... Well, then you have just risked giving them eye damage, all be it unintentionally. Happened to me at a Gaol night game with a guy running a green lazer, didnt get me in the eye, but was all over my face when I peeked the corner. In gameplay there are ample situations from lack of alternative targets to random muzzle sweeps that can make the best intentioned player inadvertantly lazer an iris. Quietly I have always been suprised when I have found sites that allow lazers. But I also know of many that dont.
  15. Wonder if our parcels are in the same batch? Even if mines tg and yours gf. I rang in. Apparently that means customs have them?
  16. aaand now its.... Held in Warehouse UPS is holding the cargo at a secure facility, pending instructions and agreement.
  17. hmmm, definately seems like there is movement going on at ups with everyones tracking changing somewhat, mine has returned to
  18. mines the same, but i was told they scan them every 3 days, so i guess we should at somepoint today get another 'import scan'
  19. is there a point where we can en-masse go to stanford le hope and get our parcels? i mean if they cant do the last leg of delivery...
  20. ukara deadlines and lack of uk stockists... but thanks
  21. As I face the prospect of weeks of 'import scan' every 3 days while it sits in London, I'd suggest avoiding looking at their twitter or other social media accounts. It doesn't paint a good picture, its somewhat demoralising. I'm just going to watch my Paypal charge back timer, just in case (180 days I think?). If people start pulling the money back from retailers due to UPS's incompetance then surely thats going to have an effect as to who they choose to deliver for them? Also, I paid UPS's imports on Paypal, so I'll claim that too, that might make them squirm a little too.
  22. like @L3wisD mine too has reverted to in transit...
  23. So rang again as my tracking stilll claims yesterday. guy on the phone is saying it should be on its way to the local depot (northampton by tomorrow). but if nothing happens after 3 days, then i can initiate a 'lost package' investigation or some crap. So my earlier smooth sailing on the order is starting to feel tenuous
  24. No updates. Still says yesterday on eta. Dont know why. But the lack of accuracy in the updates are really annoying me
