welcome to the mad house

What RIF and what brand is it ? that might help with diagnosing the issue

I just work on the basis that all youtube so called 'celebs' are self obsessed pricks who should have been drowned at birth.

Have a look at KYAirsoft, they stock pretty much every part for the WE range, they just might have one. Love my L85 GBBR it's great to use.

47 ? bloody youngster 🤣 And that glorious excuse ........ it's the lad's gun ! Welcome, glad you're enjoying the madness

If in doubt light 'em up ! If you can't see a team band just assume they are the other team.

Tried the Spectre on the 249, looks good I think and works well.

What do you want engraving, and do you actually want laser or proper deep engraving ? Timpsons ( the shoe and key place) laser engraved the Glock logo on my G18 for me a few years back. But I generally have proper deep engraving on my rifs, L119's Hi Power etc. For that I use LC's engineering, but Jim has an epic waiting list, will be about a year for getting my latest GBBR L119 A2 trades and machining done !

Absolutly everything about that monstrosity is wrong !

Oh you'll definitely love GBBR's !

Today I ran my second game day, a tribute game for my best mate's young son who passed suddenly last year. Connected games based on a post apocalyptic idea with 'zombie' super soldiers thrown in to the mix ! Went very well with a turn out of over 70 players and a very hot day, all good natured and everyone seemd to have a good time. Marshalling certainly gives you a different view of our sport and an apreciation of how hard good marshalls work ! And we raised just under £430 for charity, all in all a great day of airsofting .

Great pictures, thank you. As you say slightly different, but pretty close. Think I might need to paint mine to look more authentic

WE G18, and still got it and still use it regularly. Maple leaf hop and barrel in there these days but never let me down despite loads of abuse !

DPM or Flecktarn , both work well in UK woodland

Cant help you with that I'm afraid, Ive also got an A3 front and tend to just use that gas block with the DD rail !

30's for me since I am usually going GBBR. I find that 5 mags and a speed loader easily last me an hour game. I generally refill each mag once ( I enjoy th imersion of reloading mags in a quiet moment) but will generally have a full mag left at the end. I also enjoy the tactics that limited ammo require, working my way closer, making sure I've got a target, double tapping instead of switching to auto.

Interesting that Glock went after a retailer rather than the actual manufacturer , wonder if airsoft splat were making a big issue of 'Glock' in their ads

The original is just a solid 'bar' all the way across that fits into a recess at the back of the plastic hand guard , the later one has a slot in it in the middle. If you line the DD rail up with it you will see where it needs filing out. I just ordered the replacement incase I buggered up the filing !

Nice, and welcome to the deep rabbit hole that is an L119 build ! looks a good starting point for an A1

Ah but do they actually do so ? and easy enough to avoid those retailers .

The MP7 came from a UK retailer, but fair point. The point being though in relation to the thread, that if you buy a TM you will probably get trades (not essential but lets face it nice to have) and a petter pistol and still cheeper than the VFC version with better spares availability in the UK

Does the TM version come without trades these days ? 'cos I had a brand spanking new TM MP7 in my hands recently that had pretty much the same trades as my Umarex GBB one. On the WE front , i've quite a few WE pistols and GBBR's and have never yet had one fail on me despite alot of use and quite a bit of abuse.

Take it your Spectre didn't come with a killflash then ? what brand is it ? mine had a killflash included. https://www.ebay.co.uk/str/eatsleepgolf Got mine from here. Might be worth dropping him a message to se if he has or can get the correct one

I've never understood why people buy a TM (supposedly the best guns out there, and expensive to start with) and then spend a fortune 'upgrading' them. Now don't get me wrong I'm all for upgrading guns and love tinkering with mine, but TM's are supposed to be perfect out of the box. Bloke at our local site spent a fortune on a purchase and full upgrade of a TM NGRS and I dont think it ever actually completed a single game without failing in some way. it was always going back to the tech. Each to their own though , but tinkering with TM rifles seems to cause all sorts of issues.

I ordered a spare front reciever block for my WE L85 so I could modify it to work with a R/S rail. When it arrived it was already modified ! i think WE have updated the part to work with a genuine rail. https://www.kyairsoft.com/parts/we-rifles-gbbr/l85-series/l85-40-gbbr.html This part
