Couple of better pictures, Now if someone would just release an steel valve knocker with the 'spring' bit as part of the single piece we would all feel safer using the damn things !

From memory about £60 . Jim at LC's engineering does an awesome job (mine was the first Hi Power he did) he does have a long waiting list though. I've just booked another slot with him for some L119 trades and I recon it'll about 6 months wait.

Damn you ! I appear to have accidentaly ordered a Spectre 🤣

I've also used the Halfords range on several guns and so far it's wearing very well. As above , use the matt clear for extra protection . The matt clear is more of a satin in my opinion but it matches the finish of most RIFs well.

some comparison photos would be helpfull so we can see what the actual differences are.

That would indeed suit it, but I've got the ACOG spare and I know it stands up to GBBR use without any issues.

I'll probably run it like this next game. The full rail lets me get the ACOG far enough forward that I dont feel its going to smack me in the face with recoil The gun is one I own jointly with a mate , we do have a SUSAT for it but TBH I prefer an ACOG. Not a fan of vert grips although I do have one with the integral bipod, but a torch is a bit of fun !

AUGs are great . love mine even if it's an aeg and I've only run gas this year 🤣

I was going to mention the 1.3j limit for guns firing semi again, but going to go and bang my head against a brick wall instead 🤣

Nice, do love an AK !

Loads will tell you to get a TM MWS, but I will say that my WE based L119 and WE L85 are both excellent performers , the 119 has been used at every game day I've played this year running on red gas and even last time out the gun held up to the cold better than I did. WE G36 is a good platform I just dont seem to take mine out very often.

Welcome to the dark side 😁 GBBRs are just so much fun, no recoil aeg can come close , and they demand a style of play that is much more imersive and ultimatly much more satisfying than 'spray and pray'.

That looks like there may be a hex head in there. Try an allen key and see if it moves.

Usually just help with agrubscrew on the bottom of the gas block , at least on a 'normal' MP5 . Have you had the rail off ? I would imagine the grub screw is hidden under that Not the greatest pictures , but location of grub screw And the front removed.

I suspect that thead is supposed to be 14mm, on one of my MP5's it was bloody awfull , supressor or tracer wobbled on the threads. Replaced the fitting in the end and it's fine now.

A3 front on the WE L85, really liking the difference it makes to the look and the feel of the gun. Also like the fact that being green it keeps the classic L85 colour scheme.

I've got an XR5 , it's a hoot.Shoots well , has a mahoosive battery compartment and will take normal M4 mags although the correct ones look way cooler.

Another alternative is that the bolt is snagging on something that wont let it go fully forward. Checking the position of the nozzle in the bolt with it out of the gun will help identify if that is the case too. If the nozzle sits correctly fully home in the bolt then the issue is inside the gun (make sure the hammer resets properly) if the nozzle does not sit completely back in the bolt then the issue is in the bolt.

If the nozzle is sitting correctly but the bolt is to far back then that suggests the issue is inside the bolt. With the bolt out of the gun does the nozzle protrude further than it did ? can you push it into the bolt slightly and if so does it pop back out ? If so strip the bolt again and check that nothing behind the nozzle is out of place . Assuming the bolt is similar to the WE one the nozzle should be all the way back into the bolt and will not push in further.

Sounds like the bolt isn't going fully home. As above, debris preventing the nozzle locating correctly ? I've even seen debris behind the loading nozzle inside the bolt .

Ordered an A3 front rail for the WE L85 GBBR at the weekend (black friday deal) then tripped over an A2 front rail on ebay. Rather suspect it may be a genuine one. Needs an adaptor to fit but I've taken a punt and ordered the madbull one from Fire support. Also needs a different gas block but the A3 one should work. Been watching Bluestone 42 again so couldn't resist this one !

I'm 53 , have a team mate who is over 60 and I know there are quite a few 'senior' folk on here. We all just play our own style of games at our own pace and leave all the running about like their hair is on fire to the cannon fodder , sorry, youngsters while we have a cuppa nd a nice biscuit before providing support 😁

Practically a youngster 😂

Hi and welcome, how old ?

Did you email him or use messenger ? email is better option, does sometimes take a while to respond though. Think he charges the same for the buffer tubes. I need to get the ones for my AEG's done when I next send him some bits.
