I had this problem too last week. They came in stock on skirmshop.co.uk on thursday and they're already out of stock now. There are 3d printed ones on ebay. (https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/304158737377?hash=item46d14603e1:g:GE4AAOSwUk5gBJSD) Not sure if these are any good but the action army ones are just polymer/plastic. Rear ris mounts are still in stock if you just want to run a small red dot.

This isn't new news I'm afraid - it was publicised in March this year but I thought I'd post in case it's of interest. 81m is the guinness world record for a sub 1 joule airsoft rifle using less than 0.32g bbs. The video is a reproduction rather than the actual record being broken and it's in itallian. From what I can tell using google translate he used the following setup to do this: g&g sbr tr16 mk1 zero-shock piston (green) double lapping stainless steel cylinder 275mm "diamond" barrel blue hop rubber "without internal groove and without internal hump" he mentions Omega but it's not clear if this is an omega nub or not he also mentions the word "flat" but it's not clear to me if this is a flat hop or just a description of the hop rubber. a bag of g&g bbs I think Looks like you can buy most of this stuff at this guy's shop which is lucky... They don't go into how many shots it took him to do this and I wonder what kind of a tail wind the record breaking bb had when it hit the target. Good on him though. It sets the bar at least.

I know it's a touch above your budget but with your 10% discount at onlyairsoft you could get an arp 556 for £270. I have one and although it is a bit "boingy" it shoots really well and has a mosfet with a 3 round burst option.

Should work yes. The elite force 1911 is made by kwc. Elite force, cybergun, umarex co2 1911s are made by kwc. I do think heroshark makes a good point here though. The gas is indeed coming out the top not around the sides, which makes me think I've told you the wrong seal is at fault. Might be worth removing the exhaust valve and giving the valve itself a dose of silicone oil and there's a o ring is inside the mag itself which will need silicone oil too. If you look at this diagram you'll see the 2 o rings: https://www.airsoftstation.com/elite-force-kwc-1911-co2-blowback-airsoft-pistol-magazine-release-valve/ If the o ring inside the mag has gone you can likely just replace it so long as you can find out the correct size. If the o ring onside the valve has gone I think you'll need an new valve. I've had a quick look on one of mine and I can't see how you get inside it to replace it.

If you've switched co2 bulb brands you can get that issue. Different brands of bulb can have slightly different shapes on the top if the bulb. Some are tapered and some are flat. The seal in the mag can bed in to one type and when you give it a different type it no longer seals properly. You can buy seal replacement kits. Assuming this is a kwc mag you could try https://ebog-designs.co.uk/collections/cybergun-kwc-1911-co2/products/ebog-deisgns-cybergun-kwc-1911-co2-co2-bulb-piercing-valve-replacement-seal (which I'm guessing are home made) or you can get official replacement seal kits for more. Best of luck with this!

I had a similar issue on a stark arms g18c (I think vfc oem) in semi only where the slide would catch the triangle shaped part of the trigger bar that runs along the right hand part of the slide. When I pushed this part down into the lower receiver it felt quite grindy so the lack of smoothness was making it catch the slide. I completely disassembled the lower but couldn't find a positive point of failure. The only solution I had was to lubricate and bed in this trigger bar piece until it was smoother and now it cyles fine. Mine was a boneyard buy rather than new though. Good luck with this!

+1 for friction on the slide. Or it could be a problem with the valve knocker - perhaps not resetting properly. If it's flapping around then the sping has got loose.

Surplusstore are doing a tan Ares AS03 for £125. They've been like this for a while now, but I noticed the voucher code asforum5css gives you an extra 5% off. So with £4.99 delivery it's £123.49 all in. Gunfire have these on sale at £105 but with delivery and vat/charges etc this still comes out cheaper I think. It looks like there is only 1 tan one left and then they're all gone as I can't add 2 of these to my basket. https://www.surplusstore.co.uk/ares-amoeba-striker-as03-tan.html

Targetszone are doing the arp556 at £200 and a firehawk for £100. A few other deals on this page too. https://www.targetszone.co.uk/special-offers-7-c.asp
