120 is probably the sweet spot tbh, although I dont have any issues getting 160 in with the supplied loader. But putting less stress on the spring can't be a bad thing.

Like the mix with the tracers, very cool ! Oddly I find the loader ok to use, but wouldn't want to try to reload with it in a game . An adapter for a more compact loader would be good.

Just had a play in the garden with .30's. Looks like they are indeed the way to go. Still some adjustment left in the hop too.

What weight BB's are we all using ? Did a bit of experimenting with the hop yesterday in a mate's orchard. Hop fully on sent .25's heading for the moon , so plenty of ability to handle heavier BB's. I'm thinking of switching to .28's next game as a compromise between weight and cost. The .30's that I generally run in all my GBBR's and pistols will start getting expensive in the 249 although I could be tempted to try 'em .

I've succesfully done the same with a drill in the past, bit dug into the remaining bit and spen it straight out. Well sorted Mate, all part of the GBBR fun !

Hi Art and welcome, I wish my French was half as good as your English ! Great selection of guns you've got there , and as another GBB fan , Gas is the way ? Also the answer to the question 'how many guns do you need ?' is the same as for guitars and its always 'Just one more' Love to hear more about the airsoft scene in France.

Thanks, I happen to have one of the Auscam mags too so will have a try. I shortened my gas tube slightly even to use in the boxmag. Also invested in a pack of conector clips to stop the gas tube being unintentionally released.

Very smart.Out of interest , which size gas tank have you got in the auscam mag ? I

Bugger, I must have got the last one . Smoke generator looks very cool !

Quick pic of it on the bench, I'll do proper ones tomorrow

Mine came from SIXmm in Hong kong. Straight through with no issues. Took just over a week.

Para stock has arrived for mine, i'll take a pic of it fitted tomorrow.

You will need WE mags, other brand GBBR mags won't fit. But from the pictures I've see of the Masada it takes the normal STANAGs . So WE M4 GBBR mags , not sure if the P mags will fit , but looking at the mag well they should. http://www.milspecsolutions.co.uk/magazines/gas-blowback-rifle-and-smg-magazines/we-rifle-and-smg-magazines/we-msk-p-magazine-black.html http://www.milspecsolutions.co.uk/magazines/gas-blowback-rifle-and-smg-magazines/we-rifle-and-smg-magazines/WE-M4-Open-Bolt-Magazine-Tan.html

Ive got a Gate Nano in one of my M249's . Doesn't need bells and whistles it's just there to protect the micro switch if I decide to run 11.1 v Although with a high torque motor in it it's fast enough for me on 7.4 Lol

There was a lad turned up to our last game in full Templer night gear, breastplate, helmet gauntlets, white tabbard and sodding great sword. Last game of the day he had 5 lives and about 6 guards , everyone else had to hunt him. No one ever spotted him, shiny metal and white tabbard and he still managed to conceal himself so we never saw him.

Just put a few tracers down the garden after tweaking the hop slightly, fun factor up to 11 ! ?

Gamed mine today, what an absolute hoot ! Got some decent kills with it including one at range which surprised me, gave a speculative burst thinking it would make him keep his head down and up went the arm ! 4 mags filled to 160 lasted me a game and the box mag handled them with no issues. My god that thing holds alot of gas ! I went through a complete bottle of green today, although I ran GBB all day. The 249 came out for 2 games , then the L119 A1 and the G3 had a run .

Also ordered, thanks for the heads up MK 46 stock looks good on it too

I'd be interested in where to get one too, usefull to have the adjustabililty as they do seem to be pretty marginal for site limits out of the box.

I always keep my gas mags gassed when not in use so will be doing the same with the stanag and box mag. If you want to empty them you could just switch into dry fire mode and run the tanks empty. Mine is a bit marginal on chrono too using Nuprol green, but does just come under site limit. Interesting about the box mag gas block, I suspect it is just mine , should be able to sort it though.

Short walk around Vid.

Well I've had it apart this morning. Not a bad job, one or two fiddly bits but no worse than any of my other GBBRs. The box mag clip is held on by two small bolts which seem to be the only ones on mine where lock tight wasn't used. There are 2 further holes in the lower reciever, so if the clip works loose again I'll drill and tap it and use 4 bolts. The 2 offending bolts can just be seen in this pic, now with lots of thread lock on them. The gas block for the box mag issue is odd. It's not down to me not pusing it fully home . It doesn't feel as snug a fit as the stanag though so I think it's moving just enough under recoil to allow the mag catch to release. I'll try adding a shim to the bottom of the block and see if that sorts it. Might be an issue to watch for or it might just be mine. Will be interesting to see. I had to trim the gas pipe in the box mag shorter to get everything to fit properly, but mag bow fite sthe reciever clip nicely and I can get the fake bullet belt into position on the mag. The face rounds look very plastic so I'll make up a deac round belt for it. Impressed with it

I plan to strip mine down today . Want to give the internals a clean and lube as well as checking tighness of bolts . The mount for the box mag has a little movement , looks to be held by 2 bolts which I suspect need a tighten and some locktight. Also the gas 'block' for the box mag has popped out of location in the mag well a couple of times, which might be down to me not inserting it completely but will look at that.

As there are a few of these appearing in the group now. I thought I'd start us a thread which will keep everything in one place. Upgrades, issues or anything else.

Quick vid of it cycling . Not a great vid but this is the first time I've ever tried putting a video on youtube. I'll try and do a proper one at weekend. ( I don't do tech ! ?)
