Does anyone know if the Double Eagle M66 Pro 700 any good out of the box? I haven't been able to find much forum chatter about these. Saying that I imagine it'll be a tough job finding a better shooter than an SRS.

But I'd go away overnight too! Oh wait, my post count isn't high enough for anyone to care.

TM 1911 magazines do fit army armament 1911s but they are a snugger fit.

I've used them many times and they've been fine. They are very friendly and helpful on the phone too if you do need them. I called when they were closed on a Saturday afternoon once and they still picked up and answered technical questions on a gun I'd bought from them.

I have the cyma and it wasn't hopping particularly well out of the box but swapping the rubber and nub is very easy to do. I've done this but haven't been able to test at range yet. Action hobbies sell a g&g p90 whick is nearly as much as the krytac. I like my cyma p90 - long spongy trigger pull though. Bbguns4less.co.uk has the cheapest cyma p90 online I think at £130

This is a big discount but I'm not sure about vorsk pistols. PBVPX502022 50% off vorsk vp-x at patrolbase JD airsoft also doing a vorsk selloff: https://jdairsoft.net/cart/sale I'm guessing there's a reason for this...

I asked firesupport to quote me for a part for an ASG CZ-P09 (a small part where the hammer would hit the firing pin) and ASG responded to them with a quote for a USW part. Comparing exploded diagrams there doesn't look to be many parts shared between the two. But if you need parts firesupport (and probably other retailers) can get them from ASG for you. Might be pricey though. My part was a tiny metal part and they quoted £17.50 all in for something smaller than a 5p piece. I couldn't find a HK retailer that stocked this ASG (KJW) part though. https://actionsportgames.com/files/files/ecom/products/Exploded-drawings/19125_ExplodedDrawing.pdf https://actionsportgames.com/files/files/ecom/products/Exploded-drawings/17657_Exploded.pdf

Forgive me if I'm way off here, but that's a piercing valve looks like its for an action army aac21 (sniper rifle). I didn't think action army made a 1911. Are your leaky mags from an army armament 1911 instead? I've no idea what the gold bits are.

Nothing wrong with using non-gun parts. I think of it as being resourceful. I have one gun which has a purple calpol syringe tube as part of the hop up - just happens to be the perfect size to feed bbs from an M4 mag. This fix is one that I'm most proud and ashamed of at the same time.

finally got it out by getting the whole safety to the vertical position and knocking out the RH safetly first. It was extremely well attached to the left hand safety and bar. Thanks for you advice here @johnnyj

Thanks for this Johnny. I'll give it another go and be careful not to lose that tiny spring. I wonder if my safety is just really well stuck together.

That's a moulding mark I think:

I'm trying to get the hammer assembly out of an ASG CZ P-09 (blowback). I can see the first step of this is to remove the safety. How do I remove the safety catch on this pistol? I can see there a spring that needs to be lifted up and I'm expecting the safety to pull out on the left hand side but it's not coming out. The hammer is back and the safety is disengaged. Is there something I'm missing or do I just need to apply more force to get this safety out? I've looked for youtube videos on this but the closest I've found is the sp01 where it's lift up the spring and out comes the safety. This is what I'm looking at and the spring that I suspect needs to be raised:

My WE/Cybergun Desert Eagle arrived in the same yellow box as yours. The KWC version also has white markings on the slide etc but the WE they are just engraved.

They do/did make hammer spring housings with lanyard attachment but finding somewhere that stocks them is another question. I assume this will fit the DOR but like you already mention some bits on this hi capa are not standard https://airsoft.tiger111hk.com/p21616/5KU-Metal-Hammer-Spring-Housing-For-Marui-Hi-Capa-5.1(Black)/product_info.html

No lanyard loop on it I'm afraid.

It's probably quite a small collection compared to a lot of people here - and my wife hasn't found it yet... The rmr it just the same as any other red dot really, but it's not been shot at yet so I can't say how bullet proof it is. But the TM Dor has very specific mounts. I read on here a sig romeo 5 will also fit (double check that before buying though). I wonder if you could get a romeo clone for cheaper than the TM as £60 is a lot considering what else is out there.

I just bought one of those last week and out of the 30 odd pistols I have this one shoots by far the best in terms of grouping. Gas efficiency I got 4 mags out of a single charge of gas in the garage. So it was somewhere between 5 and 10 degrees. Nothing else I have will do this bar the Mk23. Haven't tried it at long range yet but it'll hop a. 28 fine. A 0.3 seemed to fly flat but I could not overhop it. I've had tm pistols before but not a hi capa. Genuinely impressed by this pistol. The trigger is quite light but no too light and it's very predictable. I got the tm Rmr on this which hold zero - at least for now.

I remember that part. I bought a boneyard army r85 that tried to eat its own blowback unit (the bit you pictured). Tiger111 are good for army armament parts but they are out of stock of the bit you need.i think it's this part: https://airsoft.tiger111hk.com/p31029/Army-R85A1-Assault-EBB-Rifle-Blow-Black-Control-Parts-(No.34)/product_info.html I just took the ebb unit out of mine and it works fine as a non blowback eag.

Are these any good? I've used foreign amazon before once and it was fine. Both of these below seem shippable to the UK. Some products don't allow UK delivery though. https://www.amazon.de/Invader-Gear-Taktische-Magazintasche-Flecktarn/dp/B0927NQZ67/ref=mp_s_a_1_2 Or https://www.amazon.es/MFH-DOUBLE-MAGAZINE-GERMAN-FLECKTARN/dp/B002YADZRO/ref=mp_s_a_1_1

thanks for the advice, guys. I'll give it another go

First attempt at weathering not gone so great. I stipped the paint off the top slide of a pistol and painted 5-6 coats of nuprol UFP allowing a day between each coat for it to dry. When sanding down the edges of the slide the paint is coming off in small flakes giving a jagged edge to the weathering. The lower of the pistol, with it's factory paint, is much tougher and not flaking at all and lets me get some very neat fine weathering. What did I do wrong? Should I have used a primer?

https://www.wgcshop.com/products/vfc-original-parts-hk45ct-slide-catch-left-vgc6urv041 They have them on backorder and appear to ship to the UK still. £12 delivered. I mention this in case you're happy to wait for a restock. I've used wgc a few times and they are good and the one time I've had to use their customer services they were helpful and spoke english. Either that or this guy might do you a deal: https://www.usedairsoft.co.uk/bone-yard/umarex-hk45ct-with-1-gas-tight-mag_i28658 This has been on usedairsoft or ages

This could be nothing but I saw this picture of a LK33 on prefired this morning and noticed the box cutout around the stock just happens to be the same shape as the thumbhole stock you see on some H&K rifles like the SL8. Unless LCT start doing a G36 I can't see them doing an SL8 but thumbhole stocks do exist for a g3 and there's also an SR9 - although the angles don't look right on the SR9 for this cutout. I just wonder what LCT were planning/thinking when they chose this shape for the box cutout as it can't be a coincidence can it? I love a thumbhole stock are IMO there just aren't enough in airsoft. g3 thumbhole stock: SR9:

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.
