Have you tried it with the AEG fully assembled? Have had some hiccups in the past with testing Titan equipped guns while only partially assembled. Something to do with the sensors.

Was looking at one of the videos of VFC's planned releases. Everything from the BCM ARs to the MK48 is out. Still no FN, spectacularly disappointing.

Still waiting on the long promised FN FALs be it the re-release of King Arms or VFC GBBR. How about a G&G Type 64? Pricey but very little info out there on in.

Used G&G 0.28g BBs and Airsoft surgeon 0.30g last year. The latter had some performance issues. Recently picked up some Azimuth and Green Devil BBs. Gradually making the switch to Bio. Also would echo Geoffs, they have worked nicely in AEGs that were picky with the ammo.

Used ecowire from AK2M4 and some WS deans from KOA in the past. Got a good bit one time for foreseeable projects. https://www.ak2m4.co.uk/alphawire-2-metre-pack-16awg?search=wire https://www.kingdomofairsoft.com/product-page/genuine-deans-ultra-wire

Another video, might be useful for those familiar with the platform.

That's a hefty price tag. Not too sure how Canada's prices compare to other markets... on the other hand it might mean that it closer to nine hundred bob by the time it lands here. As regards parts, LCT are very decent at making spares for sale. Even from looking at their website, spare hand guards and stocks are to be made available. Also opens up this possibility to make a refurbished esque SVD with mixed wood and polymer furniture.

Fair point as regards the Nuprol factor. Imagine the price will breech the £800 mark by the type they get their cut.

Seen a preorder on a Taiwan based site. £775 for the wood version and £720 for the polymer. Going to be a pricey one. Link for those interested: https://www.proactstore.com/products/lct-svd-aeg-wood

Don't recall them having any optic for sale in the past. Imagine we are left with Vector optics and Belarusian for the cheaper options. Then Russian glass for the more expensive offerings. Think Real Sword's PSO-esque scope supplies have dried up. Perhaps if sales are good, new scopes will come onto the market.

No news on that front. Imagine that it will show up on the preorder section of WGC shop shortly. They seem to get LCT's offerings fairly early. Speaking of which, WGC have the VFC MK48 for preorder at £875. Just in case any members have money to burn and masochistic tendencies...

Seems to be scheduled for release at the very end of the year. Imagine it will be about February before it shows up in Europe. Looking forward to the reviews. Also seems to be using the RS four gear set up.

Used them about two years ago to get a Real Sword Type 56. They were able to downgrade it too. Cost about twenty Euro for the spring and labour of the downgrade. They are good for some of the more niche products. Have gotten LCT parts there where the alternative would have been WGC shop.

LiFe 9.9v batteries are a bit of a niche item. They usually give a bit less performance that their Lipo equivalents. They can be used effectively. Something like a full stock M16 or AKM with a load of battery space would be a good fit. Have used them in my loaner AEG in the past. Was handy to just give it out to someone in the past, change the battery at lunch and have no problems. That was a brick type Life battery. Have tried a smaller capacity one in the past. Performance was very weedy, it was struggling after one game. Purely anecdotal but also ordered some stick type LiFe and never received them. Got a refund from the retailer that they couldn't get the batteries to hold a charger. Now the tech might have improved recently but from an admittedly quick glance at component shop the LiFes they are offering in the airsoft section seem largely similar to a few years ago. There's also Li-Ion batteries floating around but have virtually nil experience outside of using them in power tools.

That's a very interesting point. Was doing a bit of testing with my Galil this weekend. The Tienly motor I had used in it wasn't the most energy efficient. Worked very nicely in an AKM with a beefy 7.4v brick lipo. In contrast the stick lipos were being drained a lot more rapidly. Might have to try a Warhead for the next folding stock Aeg I get. The guys in the video are very thorough, remember one of their vids on a VFC GBBR was excellent.

Seems like it would be about that. Taking Fire support prices, the GS SG1 is about 500 while the AK47 is about 650. So in the interest of speculation will predict £600 myself. Off course could be off and it might be closer to their RPD in price. Will be curious as to what the internals look like? Probably close to the Real sword or Cyma.

Nice looking piece of kit. Curious as to what price tag these end up going for? Real Sword seems to be a thing of the past, whilst E&L's offering seemed to be vapourware. Should do well if it's a decent performer. Will fill the Dragunov niche for a good few players.

Could do with some more info. What's the brand of Scar and your own budget? The in line mosfets from Gate such as the ASR or Nanohard are quite decent for the price.

From what I vaguely recall from some video reviews, is that the king arms G3 magazines fit with potentially some mild filing. Might be worth picking up a single sample to try?

Is it an XCR? Something like the following: https://www.fire-support.co.uk/product/echo1-vfc-robinsons-armament-xcr-aeg-airsoft-gun

Good call on the Casio. A few years ago, some friends and myself got a couple of them before a milsim. Did the trick nicely. For a normal weekend would use whichever Seiko is my least favourite at the moment. Less annoyed if it gets shot out. Would also usually wear a strap, the bracelets can be a bit of a BB magnet. Lately using a Marine Nationale strap. Comfortable and would retain a watch if a springbar fails.

From what I vaguely recall was about three or four in Taiwan. Something like BLS/G&G/others like Airsoft surgeon. With regards ASG think they are manufactured in the East and then "processed" in Denmark.

Yeah, good call as regards different lines. With Geoffs some claim their precision line is the same as the BLS ones. While their super precision is from a different producer. Also there can be drought of particular weights of BBs. Then suddenly three or four different brands get a restock. Wouldn't be too conspiracy like to imagine quite a few of them come from the same source. The food comparison is a good one. No point upgrading your primary to a high extent only to plug in a weedy lipo and run it with a poor match of BB. Excellent, that was the thread I was thinking of. Find AATV to be thoroughly entertaining lads, who are good to reply to comments and interact. Used their non bio video to select a few brands to test. Still your experience would certainly give me a degree of hesitancy in trying 6mm. One of the shortcomings is even if you find a good BB, it might not necessarily be in stock year round.

That was an interesting video as regards the Bio BBs. There seemed to be a broad selection that was decent, a few that were worse and a handful that were better. There certainly seemed to be less performance variation than the non bio equivalents video. Possible fewer OEMs actually cranking out the Bios or a degree of consolidation in the firms producing the ammo? Was intrigued by how well the Ares BBs did as recall a thread where a user had some dodgy specimens among his bag. What I find complicates it further is both different brands and their weight performance. Had some companies where the lighter (0.25 & 0.28) ammo performed very well. Went up to their 0.30g offering and had jams and fliers galore. Have settled on G&G 0.28g BBs for support guns. Still trialing different stuff for rifles.

That's good. As you noted some of the weatherproofing can be a bit worse for wear. You occasionally see listings where the chest rig almost looks black.
