Hello! I bought a JG MP5k for very cheap (is this revenge for me not getting the CA or Cyma...) and annoyingly, the front sight on it has no thread for suppressors. It looks like this: Pointless. Utterly pointless. 🤣 Anyway, I have found a Tokyo Marui MP5k (Cyma parts seem to fit the JG fine) front sight in stock - but I need to know what it looks like from behind to see if it will fit or not. I am hoping it will look like this: And hopefully not like this: Can anyone put me out of my misery? If it is like the one above - how would one get rid of that lip? Drill? Dremmel? Many thanks.

Oh that's interesting...so Warhead uses the Chaolis and just rebranded? That will save me money in future then! Thanks

Ah cool - nice one cheers Jez.

Ah ok thanks for confirming.

I had the standard message too from this guy: https://airsoft-forums.uk/profile/43645-scalenfox/

Those chaoli's look like recoloured/rebranded warheads. The thing is - they are not far off a warhead in price.

Hello chaps! As the title suggests - has the site been down for a day for maintenance or something? Or has it just been a bad dream lol. Cheers

Great thanks for all your help Jez. Last thing - does anyone know if Cyma MP5 parts compatible with Classic Army MP5's? By parts I mean things like MLOK foregrips and stocks. Many thanks.

Cheers Jez. That helps. Are CA still going? Their website is not so good...I believe they were originally B&T? Also the RIF I am looking at seems to be older B&T stock, so I wonder if their older stuff was better or worse? I have read some say better and others say worse.

Thanks for your input. I wonder how you came to this conclusion? Is it by experience? Or perhaps they use a better casting? What you say does make sense though, I had a CA M4A1 and it was built really well, even though it was a very old one. Cheers

Thanks for the info chaps. So one vote for HC so far. Yeah Apache is nice, but aiming for less weight. I am mainly wondering about build quality though rather than anything else. Cheers

Hi all, I am wondering which would be better build quality out of the three in terms of strength and durability of exterior parts. Internals can be chopped and changed so I'm not worried about that, but I am looking to put together a lightweight sniper loadout with an MP5k as a sidearm. Cyma is out as its versions are weightier than both. The TM's top receiver (non High cycle) is made of ABS and I believe the JG and CA Mp5k's TR (I believe its the same for the standard Cyma MP5k too) is made of pot metal. So I am wondering what would structurally be better. Maybe too hard to say and either of these platforms will be good? I am aware that the TM MP5k is old kit now and you would think that a new JG/Cyma/CA would be be much better in terms of build - but TM's seem to cost more and hold more value and TM also use a high quality ABS from experience. Anyone, as well as TM/JG/CA MP5K owners wish to chime in on build quality and general experience? Thanks

Hi there Does anyone know of any airsoft techs based in Zummerzet or Doorset? Cheers

Hi Jim, Thanks very much for the reply. So it is possible for g3 and g4 gear to not have the black label according to those factors? If this is the case, I suppose there is very little I can do to make sure I am not buying repro or fakes and will just have to take the risk I guess. Many thanks.

Hi there, I have been looking for some newer Crye (I loved the older stuff) kit and have seen a lot for sale, but my question is - should all of Crye's product lines (more specifically G3 and G4) have these sort of labels on the garment somewhere? I can't remember if my older gen crye stuff from years ago had it or not. Could the lack of this label (I have seen alleged G4 and 3's without it) possibly denote a fake? Or could it be that the seller is advertising it as a G3/G4 but its in fact a "custom" where this label may not be present? I am sure some if the fake stuff is great6, but I just wondered. Cheers

Hi chaps, I wondered if there are any Midland users (or general PMR to tac headset users) who can help please. I would like to pair my G9 Pro with a headset - something like a Peltor Comtac with a mic. Is it possible? I have been bamboozled by talk of differences in impedance and the like. I have also emailed EARMOR and trampled around the forums and reddit for a clear answer. Some say it cannot work or that you need to shave down the PTT connector...So can anyone please tell me what PTT Connector and tactical headset do you use and have working well with Midlands? Or is it a case that PMR 446 will not work with the low impedance head sets unless I buy an amped PTT? Many thanks in advance.

Thanks all.

Hi As the title suggests - does anyone know which cylinders will be compatible with a JG069 SMG-5J? I was looking at this one: https://www.airsoftcentral.co.uk/lonex-airsoft-cylinder-for-mp5-a4-a5-series.html I don't have the rif to measure old one as it is with a tech, but the one above has no mentioned dimensions anyway. Thanks in advance.

Welcome back, I was in a similar position. Decent knee pads are our friend. 😁
