    Its much cheaper and safer to buy from Asia than US.
    Most Airsoft stuff is made in Asia anyway

    FFS is the only thing that can come to mind after ordering a replacement reciver for my RPK. The only cyma compatable part I could find was the Echo 1 Red Star LMG receiver at Evike. Ok,only $40, then $60 for shipping. So wait a couple of days for the first e-mail from UPS asking my company ( I'm not a company) to return the full import paperwork for the gun part. Note the use of the word 'gun' here. So you e-mail them and point out it's a 'toy' part. Then wait a couple of days for paperwork regarding the import of RIF's, along with a customs declaration. Fill out the forms, for the part. Wait a couple of days. E-mail UPS again to be told they haven't recived the paperwork yet. Reply with the original e-mail that had the paperwork attached, attached to that e-mail. Wait a couple of days. Check the tracking, pay the £27 quid in 'admin' fees, including £10 import duty? Wait a couple of days, part turns up at last, broken! Try to stay calm, contact Evike and wait....lets see whats going to happen.

    As a father to a teenager I second that - the boy and I have our own distinct loadouts.  Looking forward to him coming home in June so I can shoot the crap out of him again:
     

     
    We have (I like to think) a pretty solid relationship as a result of spending Airsoft days together.  I certainly know him better than he thinks I do.
     
    The boy also has some school friends who's mum was into Airsoft - her and her partner's loadout's were pretty awesome.  We had some fun gameday's as a group.
     
    However, your dad may have genuine reasons for being apprehensive - I was at first TBH.  It's not just the financial cost of owning a gun.  My brother and his missus are completely against guns of any kind for example so my nephew would have had no chance if he wanted Airsoft as a hobby.  It's part of what sucks to be a kid.  You have to respect the boundaries your parents put in place.
     
     
     
    Of course I am giving the OP the benefit of the doubt that this isn't a wind up thread.

    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.

    Nick G got a reaction from RostokMcSpoons in The VFC / Umarex HK416 Owners Thread   
    Thanks for the reply. Now you mention it , I'm sure i remember reading about a M/L rubber being fitted. Seem to recal it needed the locating nub removing. Sounds like the difference is marginal then.
     
    I think I'll suggest that he and I have a comparison of his 416 against my L119 A1 which does have a crazy jet in it, whilst different brands they are at least the same basic platform, if mine is demonstrably more accurate or more consistant, I'll put a C/J in the 416 .
     
    I'll report back either way once we've had a try.

    I changed the hop rubber, but I'm buggered if I can remember what to!  Hmm I'm thinking a green VSR-compatible thing, probably a Maple Leaf then.  It might get a mention earlier in this thread (but can't go looking right now, about to go off to be sporty).   
    And I bought a spare VFC one because like you, I think it's probably fine.

    I'd too would love to hear if a barrel swap makes any appreciable difference.  More accuracy would always be appreciated.
     
    I had a plink in the garden just a couple of days ago.   Just to re-affirm my absolute love of shooting this gun (and probably most other GBB's too)

    they're pretty decent for the price.  Wish I could get hold of them easily though.  CYMA are just super difficult to deal with for various reasons.
     
    @Ben Savage ZCI is decent, give another one a go and let us know how you get on. 
     
    I'm started to list the widths (guide rail to guide rail) of all pistons now in the descriptions.  Hopefully it helps a few people out.

    Still upto the same shenanigans. I ordered an item that was labelled as "3 days lead time" but 11 days later it is still showing as "awaiting dispatch" so I've called the store, no answer, and I've called the returns line, no answer, so finally I have emailed to cancel the order entirely. I will avoid these clowns in future.

    Received my receiver back from West Lasers for a cerakote job last night. Just finished putting the M16 back together now with its new upgrades. Fitted a gate aster, new Madbull inner barrel and high torque motor/gears. 
     
    Need to get one of gates triggers that is more “retro” but this is what they sent me for the time being 😂
