I've used LC's engineering for lots of engraving . They do the trades ( and machining) on my L119 builds , he also did the British trades on my Hi power. Never have any worry about them going wrong, always just send the parts that need engraving rather than a whole RIF. Biggest issue is his waiting list.

Hi and welcome . The MWS group on here is very active and should be able to help with any questions. I'm now craving a Portuguese pastrie !

Having a good look at the legalities would be a good start. Even 'playing' around the house or garden isn't straight forward. Even ignoring the potential loss of brownie points if you damage anything in the house, if yoiu can been seen by neighbours, the public etc you stand the risk of getting a visit from plod for waving a gun around in public. You also need to look at PPE for you and anyone else in the house. Getting a BB in the face can and has caused loss of eyesight as well as loss of teeth. This is why you are not getting gun recomendations. You have lots of other things to considder,which people are trying to tell you. honestly you are best off going along to a site and playing a few games with their rental kit before starting to look at buying guns. For starters that will give you a chance to try a few and see what you like, it will also give you a grounding in the basic safety requirements. Yes airsoft guns are toys, but they are toys that can cause life changing injuries, range disciplin is vital. Listen to what folk are saying and considder the whole picture before running off to buy guns. Also if you don't want 2 toned guns you will need a defense , so play some games and get a UKARA. Everyone has a different idea of what are good guns, I love GBBRs and rarely use anything else, others will say they hate them because they limited ammo etc, loafs will say go hpa ( I hate hpa with a passion) read the threads on here, there are plenty of ones discussing different makes , platforms etc.

Should be basically a standard Glock type mag. May just need the long bolt tightening up (remove the base cap to check) But yep can be serviced easily enough.

Bit young if you ask me 😂

Well early indecations are good,my block has had the issue from day 1 (stanag has been fine) , but several mags in now and so far no repeat. https://www.wgcshop.com/products/dnfn-md01 Got mine from here,took about a week to arrive.

Spent some time testing the mag catch today as I wont get to play untill next month. 2 full BB loads (about 120 per mag) through it with the box mag and no sign of the gas block popping out , where as before you'd get half a dzen shots before it jumped out. Seems to be sorted by the new mag catch.

Experiments with the QD fittings continue. But with mixed success , so for the moment I'm running it stock but have my eye out for a very compact gas bottle that would fit into a box mag. I have however fitted the DNA steel mag catch . It does feelmore robust than the stock one, and it also seems to have stopped the box mag gas block jumping loose. I can only think the 'lump' on the DNA catch might be more pronounced. I have yet to try it in a game though so we will see. When I play next I'll try it without the m3 screw that I normally fit to the mag well and see what happens. Still loving the 249, it's so much fun !

Yep, straight forward to install . If it was running hot today, you'll certainly need one in there for the summer !

Has the SCAR H got an NPAS in it ? As you say days like that happen, but it sounds like you enjoyed the GBBR's on the range. I played today, did the first game with my aeg L119 A1 long while the gas mags got nice and toasty in the pouches on my plate carrier. Interesting that I used only about half a hi cap as I was very much in semi only mode from using the GBBRs so often. After that my A2 played the rest of the day , as usual I had no issues other than forgetting to regas one mag before a game . Can't beat the GBBRs !

And yet it actually isn't . You adapt your play style and it's so satisfying when you take some spray and prey wanker out with a double tap 🤣

Work your way in closer to the other team, conserve ammo and pick shots , remember that once you open up they will know where you are from the sound of a GBBR , Keep your mags warm . Above all prepare for a much more immersive experience than any aeg

KY airsoft should have them, they carry just about every part for WE. I use them regularly . SCAR-H #H-34 (kyairsoft.com) This bit ?

I always find it's better to ring Patrol base rather than email. Unusual to not get the confirmation of order email though, have you checked 'your orders' on their site to see if it actually went through ?

I just use the normal pistol size loader with my WE STANAGs. Find them easy enough to load, you do need the loader at the correct angle though, but seems second nature now. 5 Mags and the loader and I'm sorted for a game

The mounting bolt spacing on a doctor sight is different to the usual red dot spacing ont the base plate. Probably need a specific one.

I've got a bunch of the Nuprol 30 round ones. They work fine in my spring and gas shotties.

Because all airsoft youtubers are total wankpuffins who should have been strangled at birth .

Many retailers are a bit crap on emails tbh. Have you checked to see if their web page says they are open today ? Quite a few retailers do give everyone an extra day (or even 2) off between christmas and new year. Just looked on their FB page and it lists opening for today untill 14.00. They may just have not got to the phone I'd try ringing again tomorrow.

A light coat of silicone will help with sliding the bucking into the hop unit if it's a tight fit. Stops the bucking distorting or tearing.

Takes a little practice to get the angle onto the feed lips right, but then it's quick and easy to reload. And there are enough BBs in it to refill 5 mags if needed.

A mate has one, and his generally seems sound. Only issue so far has been the pin that secures the mag release being a bit sloppy. He may have got lucky by the looks of the video.

Get the VFC, it's full size unlike the TM . Love mine, shoots well is accurate and I never feel out gunned when I run it as a primary .

Cant comment on the VFC M4 platform, but the WE XM177 is basically the same as my WE based builds and I'm more than happy with performance of them . Spares are also easy to get , not that I've needed any for mine.

The GBB M249 is probably lighter than an aeg version . It's all machined aluminium and certainly no heavier than my polymer one
