( From personal experience here, so any expert advice very welcome!) I'm under the impression that there is a small amount of oil in every bottle of Airsoft specific gas sold - hence shake the can before filling. WE for instance highlight the fact it contains it on the front of the can I happen to have at the moment. Remember being told as a noob many years ago that standard Propane is a very 'drying' gas, so it makes sense to me to add a bit to avoid it drying out O rings and so on. But I believe very little is needed, on the order of one or two drops per litre. Have I got it wrong? (again lol). Also standard/camping gas propane contains a very smelly additive for safety (so that any camping stove type leaks are very obvious). The smell can get very unpleasant / nauseating in an enclosed area, so filling outside is a good idea. I don't know if its related to the additive but I started to notice a bit of a thin brown coating appearing on some valves and seals after a while. Anyone else experienced this? The MAPP / Yellow cylinder stuff just flat out didn't work when I tried it. May just be me of course! Overall I just had so many issues that I went back to just using the comercial stuff. Having bought a VFC LAR and their SA58 I might have to look into it again though! ๐.

When I bought all of our retired Site Tech's stock there were a number of ex-Hire RIF's in various states of repair in with it, Mostly S&T G36C's. I have repaired and reassembled six of these and like the other bits I've been listing I need to move them on. These were originally two tone Blue - blue handguard, stock and top rail. you can sometimes see traces of it where they have been scratched through the black spray finish, though I've touched them up a bit recently, the selectors mostly. The site these were used at was all CQB, so they decided to make them semi only by clipping the selector plates. I had three brand new plates which I have fitted, the other three I have repaired/modified with a shaped piece of piano wire for the same result - they are all restored to select fire now. Numbers #1-3 have the new plates, #4-6 the modified version. I don't have mags for all six of them though. The S&T Gearboxes are quite a lot better than I had expected. Solid crankcases, 6mm Metal Bushings, Microswitch trigger switches, quick change spring system, reinforced slot on the top for the electric blowback version and they are all made to have the push button spring release mechanism from in front of the trigger. They were not supplied with the EBB or all of the spring release parts though, but they could be easily added if desired, likewise the ex two tone bits could be very easily swapped for black polymer/metal replacements. So I'm listing them one at a time now, but if anyone wants all six let me know! So this specific ad. is for the S&T G36C #1 as pictured with one magazine. Tested at 340fps with 0.2's on my ancient madbull chrono, so I've sorted out some lower power springs to go with it, approx. M100 and M90, as I'm wary of my old chrono results. Price for #1 is ยฃ60.00 including P+P. Obviously the [expletives deleted] VCRA applies, so an easily verifiable defence is required eg UKARA or similar. I will ask, so if you don't have such a defence don't waste your time and mine.60.00 GBP

How many would you like? I have six ex two tone ex hire all plastic I'm not sure what to do with! ๐

IIRC the Tanaka and KJW mags were interchangeable. Don't know about the G&G ones, sorry, but is it certain the longer arms are for the M700 platform? as I know there was a very similar, just slightly longer mag for the K98. ( I learnt this buy buying one by mistake of course! ๐)

Difficult to think of things that won't offend somebody๐, but eg a player who turns up with new top of the line shiney speedsofter at a normal woodland skirmish. Guys who bring their lady friends with them but forget to tell them not to wear skintight tops and trousers. Player with lots of expensive kit who barely if ever gets out of the safe zone (thats me btw ๐)

To Fix or Not to Fix a clone ASW338LM, That is the Question
MSSNAFU replied to MSSNAFU's topic in General Help
If it was ever to reappear in the classified's I wouldn't relist it as it was, the pic is just to show what it is I'm blathering on about ๐. It would only reappear as fixed/working or as a pile of boneyard bits. Its a bit of an academic question anyway as I have a bad case of fix-it-itis with airsoft bits - If its broken and I think I can fix it then even if I don't want it, I find myself dismantling and at least trying to repair it anyway!๐ The sear is already done. The hop unit had been modified at some point in the past, which is possibly why half a dozen broken bits of plastic fell out of it when I removed it! ๐so I'm working on a fix for that, and as I dismantled it I found there's a problem with the cheek rest involving a broken piece of mazak which may actually turn out be the worst problem. Might have to invoke Dr Frankenstiens assistance!๐คช๐ -
Opinions please. I have a clone Ashbury ASW338LM bolt action 'sniper'. No markings, VSR compatable-ish, plastic picatinny rails over a carbon fibre effect forend, fully adjustable folding stock with a monopod, heavy metal body, looks the business. Its the one that was in the boneyard for a few days. Has problems - slam firing and misfeeding. It's not working irritated me enough that I decided to dismantle and fix it - changing out a worn VSR sear being a not uncommon fix ๐ and if I've got it dismantled enough that I can get at the trigger group I should be able to see what the feeding issue is too. About 30(!) bolts and screws later I've got the thing apart. Faults obvious - the afore mentioned sear and a hop unit with both a duff rubber and a very broken hop adjustment armature. Now, I have most if not all of the bits necessary to fix it, could even upgrade some parts as I go eg steel sear, stainless steel inner etc. But, if I fix and reassemble it, at the end of the day(s) I'll still have a clone Ashbury ASW338LM springer, with no markings, which I don't want, I'll never use, and isn't worth very much. Am I falling into the 'polishing a t**d' trap? and would do better selling on the parts, rather than a heavy, not as good as a real VSR, compatable-ish Ashbury RIF? TL:DR is it actually worthwhile repairing it?

Originally this was a solid resin casting of an X26 Tazer, as used by HM Police, obtained from Etsy. (Its not a very good quality casting or paint job btw!) I bought it from a guy who was emigrating. Eventually I got around to modifying and hollowing out parts of it, so that my virtually unused little 24 BB lancher could fit into it. On red gas it will nearly send the shower out to about 5 metres, if you angle it up enough with the wind behind you ๐. If you are able to sneak up on one, the look on the face of a player who hasn't seen it before when you shout 'Tazer! Tazer! Tazer!' at them, just before giving them a low velocity bb shower is priceless! ๐ I'm not really mobile enough to get the drop on someone any more, and like most BB launchers the range is pretty poor, so its time to pass it on. Someone with a Police or Security services build should be able to have a lot of fun with this ๐It comes with the two holsters pictured. A Taser is classed as a firearm and this is a realistic imitation, so the VCRA applies and a defence like UKARA is required before I will sell it to you. So if you don't have an easily verifiable defence please don't waste your time. Offers over ยฃ55.00 incluing p&p the lot. UK only and Paypal only. 20250913_132443.mp455.00 GBP

Um -ish. I removed one advert after a user with a good feedback rating, told me he has a UKARA number, then blanked me when I asked for it. Might be ill or have a familly emergency of course, but after 4 days my paranoia stepped in ๐. Another was from what I very strongly suspect was a child, via email rather than through the Forum, so I pulled that ad. too. But yeah I can nearly get to the door again now๐

About 8 Kilograms of used G36 parts. These are empty shells for the most part. The most complete is an S&T that I slotted together for the pictures - disassembled again for packing. The S&T forend, rail and folding stock are ex blue two tone repainted black. There are two S&T Gearbox shells and some internal parts and a standard V3 gearbox shell. The other bodies are a Classic army, an unmarked clone and a real antique airsoft wise, a Star!๐. There are some other parts in the loose parts box (pic. 2) - Selector parts, a hop unit and rubber, screws etc. The S&T, quick spring change, gearboxes have some additional cutouts and parts related to EBB and anti reversal latch release (ease springs! ๐), though there is no use for either on this version, so some of the additional bits are not with it. All of the parts are used, so all will show wear and tear, some will be damaged or faulty or incomplete and only useful as donor bits for other projects. ยฃ50.00 the lot.

~15cm. It was with the one below it in the pic.
-
It was sat inside the handguard attached to to the plastic TM RIF.
-
That was my first thought too!
-
Slightly too long for the handguard it was sat in๐I'll try to remember to measure it tomorrow. But why bother to laser engrave a part that will never be seen? Slightly bigger pic. below. Forgot to mention it wasn't screwed down to anything, just lying loose.
-
Thoughts of the collective airsoft brain please. While sorting out the M4 bits to list in the classsifieds I happened to notice markings on what I thought was just a thin aluminium sheet inside one of the handguards - see pic. below. Now I can't imagine how a real steel part like this would end up in a pile of airsoft parts, but I also can't imagine and airsoft manufacturer going to the time, effort and presumably licence requirements to engrave this on an item that will basically never be seen! In the words of the immortal Manuel, 'Que?'

Tanaka M700 Takedown. Chrono @ ~450fps with green gas and 0.20g BB's using the mag marked '1'. 3 mags in total, one obviously leaking and modified. The other two held gas more than long enough for testing but I suspect a change of seals would be good as they've sat around unused for several years. The cocking piece and main body of the Tanaka's bolt are steel. Upgrades? Bolt handle section is alloy. There is a modification to the top rail - the last screw has been replaced with a 5mm grub bearing. This pushes the bolt down slightly, making sure it engages with the sear set up properly, overcoming some wear and tear. There is some issue with the safety catch as you have to unlock the bolt slightly to apply it when the bolt is cocked. The Tanaka bolt is adjustable. Comes with a partial KJW M700 for spares/repair. Missing inner and outer barrels. Will 'fire' a mag, though obviously with no inner barrel etc. all you get is a pop and the bb falling out! :-). Verifiable VCRA defence required, eg UKARA registration or similar. Package is about 8Kg and length puts it in the large postal category, hence the cost ๐ ยฃ90.00. UK only and Paypal only.90.00 GBP
