Cheers gents, I knew I could count on the collective. I will put them up for the mid range price and see what happens Rob

Hi Airsoft Collective, I am currently thinning out my Airsoft collection and came across these Mags. I got these when I bought an electric G36 back in the day, I switched to Gas powered within a few months and these were put on a shelf. They are PTS Magpul PMAG 30 so real cap mags I know nothing more about them, compatibility, exact model number etc so I am hoping to tap into your knowledge to get some more details and a price for the 4 of them and individual. Cheers

What was the issue and how did you fix it? Always best to leave the question and answer in case it helps someone else. I have a UV-5R and I know how simply complicated they can be ?

Hey RhysC97, As 1st Commando said the performance out the box is insane and I haven’t noticed a drop off as the gas is used. Then the gas capacity of the mags is phenomenal. On a side note, I have realised that my Umarex PSG1 isn’t fir me and I prefer more of a mobile role within Airsoft so I have decided to sell it. I have only fired it in my garden running about 5 - 6 mags through it. It has never been to an Airsoft field and it like brand new. It comes with 2 magazines, the full case, loader and sling. Send me a pm if you are interested before I stick it in the Classifieds.

Although you are entitled to your own opinion and I to have been guilty of being focussed on a certain product that I wanted and screw everyone else only to realise that everyone on here that said don’t’ was right. The thing to remember is that the guys on here know their stuff and have no reason to say something is crap when it is not. Chances are if they say it is crap then it will be. For that money I would go for an ASG CZ75 Shadow 1 for £130 https://www.patrolbase.co.uk/asg-cz-sp-01-shadow-co2-blowback-pistol It was the first pistol I bought, has run on CO2 all its life (3 years) and is still going strong still. All metal, solid, it has been dropped more times than I care to admit and all I have ever done to it was clean it.

After playing around with a number of clones and being totally disappointed, I bought a Vortex 3x Magnifier: https://www.opticswarehouse.co.uk/vortex-vmx-3t-magnifier-with-flip-mount Yes, it is a chunk of money but the quality is outstanding, the lenses are crystal clear, the eye relief is unbelievable allowing quick target acquisition and of course the fully transferable Vortex lifetime warranty meaning it holds its resale value. I also run gas blowback rifles so that was also a factor in the decision.

@EvilMonkee I found that as well but put a spot of LT2 grease to help it on its way. Glad you got it sorted. Is your G3 as loud as the PSG 1?

Well if you use the same formula as me your order was around the £900 mark ??

I think that sums up Airsoft!!! We all love it though!!

Hmm… well that didn’t work…. According to the Chrono it went up in power. Maybe the self voluming nature of a GBBR but surely with green gas it should drop. This thing is consistent though! Over 20 shots it ranged from 383 to a max of 390 on a .40 BB with Green gas. I made sure I purged all the red gas out of it before I filled it. I am confused??. Guess I need to screw in the NPAS then….

Ha ha, that’s what I thought. If I go the NPAS way, I will have tighten it almost to nothing by the looks of it! I will try to pop out to the local Airsoft shop tomorrow and pick up some green gas although I may have some in my workshop so will have to check.

I finally found some time to Chrono the Umarex PSG-1. Filled the Mag with Red Gas (as I have lots of it as I Run the various MWS on it). Popped in some .40 BBs, fired up the Chrono and…. Oh…. Well the good thing is it is very consistent however…. It Chronoed just short of 390 fps on a .40. That’s 2.78 joules. That’s a little hot!! Now the PSG-1 is fitted with an NPAS, however I am going to grab some Green Gas and try it on that first before I constrict it with the NPAS. What do you guys think? Green Gas or restrict it with the NPAS to bring it down to the require 1.48joules?

Thanks for the advice gents. That was exactly it. A little dab of LT2 grease on the empty mag lever at the back of the magazine and it is working perfectly. They must have got a little dry in storage. I did the same on the spare mags just in case.

Woodland games are a completely different experience. I prefer them over CQB as CQB is just hectic!!

I can’t stop making stuff!!! My first ever Airsoft rifle was a second hand G36 which came with an underslung grande launcher and 4 40mm Grenades (the sort that shoot a load of BBs and a rubber bung). This has been sat in a cupboard for years so I decided to try to make use of it. As I don’t use the G36 anymore, I wanted to make it stand alone. I stripped the hand guard off the launcher and designed a top to it that will hold the now detached aiming thingy (what ever they are called). 3d printed it out and now I have a grenade launcher that looks similar to a M320 minus the stock and fore grip.
