On the one hand, fair play to VFC for trying something different. On the other, it's going to be annoying when it is released ahead of the FN FAL.

Seems like it's still some stage this year. From looking at their facebook account, it seems to be coming along. Their display piece is closer to a finished product. This is at one of the MOA shows.

Just a quick one to say these have gone up for preorder at WGC shop. Should be due next month according to their ETA. https://www.wgcshop.com/collections/new-arrivals/products/northeast-uzi-gbb-smg

Prometheus make a hop up chamber that is advertised as being Krytac compatible. Haven't used it myself but it's a fairly reputable brand. Whatever type you decide on, check if it includes all the components or if they are needed from the old unit. Particularly if the previous one is a complete write off.

Would certainly recommend the Warhead over the option no.1 motor. The option no.1 has very long motor tabs, can be quite terrifying to nearly sheer off the tabs installing it into an AK motor cage. While the warhead ones are delicate, as long as you take your time you should be okay. The efficiency of the warhead is nicer, recall some German YouTube channel doing a comparison. The option no. 1 was soundly beat by the Warhead. Recently installed a Base 27K into my Galil. Greatly increased the amount of shots I get from a 7.4v stick battery versus the Tienly motor was using in the past. In fairness to option no.1 they make a series of medium length motor offerings. Which is nice as the Sig 55X series users usually get overlooked. If you're using a ETU just be careful with settings, warhead should have recommended settings on their website.

Replace one of them with a 416 or a MCX. Start to slowly wean off the AR platform.

Was optimistic that we might see something at Shotshow or IWA but nada. At this stage we might see a VFC carl Gustav released before their FN FAL.

Bullseye Country sport in NI can be useful for bits and bobs.

That's unfortunate, alas seems to be an increasingly common thing these days.

Based on my last experience, packed the day after. Then the items were shipped four days later. So five days between order and dispatch. If that is any help to you.

Right, thanks for checking. The other thing is that you mentioned a brushless motor, are you following the suggestions given by Warhead as regards the settings for the mosfet? They are available at the following link: https://www.warheadindustries.com/suggested-mosfet-settings

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.
