  1. Working on my MK23 project, I got it second hand and both mags are leaking. Should I leave bad feedback?

    Also does anyone know what are some good upgrades to add to the MK23? I want a longer barrel as a minimum to fit in the suppressor.

      I messaged the guy, and he is making it right. I'm just going to order a Novrich mag, as they seem pretty good.

      @Impulse do you know what the difference is between the 1 screw and 3 screw Hadron TDC?

    4. Impulse

      Impulse

      @Musica The 3 screw allows you to correct if it's arcing to the side as well. It's basically just the 1 screw version with two extra screws. I use mine just like a 1 screw, but it's nice to have options just in case!

  2. Back on crazy ideas again, If one was going to use a TM MK23 as a DMR, what would some ideal upgrades be to the internals to handle 1.8~ joules?

      Are you putting it in a carbine kit as well?

    3. Skara

      Other than the usual hop rubber and TDC, if you're putting it inside a carbine kit all you need is a longer barrel, say 200 to 250mm long, wouldn't go over that tbf because the mk23, as it is, already achieves silly performance and in my experience, barrels over 250/300mm long give more issues than benefits.

      Yes going to print a carbine kit for it with my 3d printer.

      @Musica have a look at https://hicapahub.co.uk/

      He generally carries all the really nice AM stuff, CowCow and AIP as well as 9Ball and PDI barrels.

      He's just announced as well he's going to start stocking LA Capa Customs stuff which is blingy.

  4. I had a rule no airsoft purchases until I go back and play after Covid. I played last Sunday and ended dropping £300 today on bits and bobs. I guess this is what happens when 2 years worth of wants catches up and I have no UKARA to drop it on a new RIF anyway.

      I went with green as pretty much everyone is black or tan at my place so I should be able to spot my bag easily. To be fair the yellow is also yellow in the inside so you can find all your gear easily against the contrast damn wish I'd have noticed that. Also if you are stopped and searched for some reason I don't think they can claim you were trying to conceal a bright yellow bag 😁

    3. DerDer

      DerDer

      The yellow is a probably bit OTT. 

      That's a fair point, as regards identifying your own kit. I picked up a teal gun case this year for similar reasons.

      Wow, 70% discounts on all bags and packs, I guess this summer is a write-off for Mountain Warehouse.

       

      That is a great deal, but I'm sticking with my wheeled trolley case so that I can kid myself about how much excess junk I've stuffed in there. ;)

  5. Anyone else realising that they have money they don't usually have? Not being able to get to a game day is really saving my bank balance.

      Mine is staying open it seems. And im thinking one last hurrah before everything gets locked down might be fun.

       

      Its not like my playstyle lets them get close enough to infect me anyway.

      It's going to be months before we get to TK each other. 😢

  7. Leaky mag, apply silicone to o ring still leaking. Apply silicone to all o rings and extra to the one I think at fault. Still leaking. Order new o rings. Go to take the mag apart to install new o ring and realise it's gas tight and not leaking any more ffs.

    1. Rogerborg

      Rogerborg

      Same, it just took a while for the silicone to seal up the o-rings.

       

      Took the thing apart anyway, because I was emotionally invested by that point. ;)

       

  8. Trying to get dates, prices and times out of sites feels like getting blood from a stone some times.

      Biohazard. Messaged last night nothing by 6PM today so I posted on their player page asking the questions the post needed approved by an admin and then got some people replying then finally an admin replies on it.

    3. Rogerborg

      Rogerborg

      Oh, I just love how they hide the events listing on the players page.  And why oh why don't sites just list all the info that prospective players will actually need, rather than having to keep repeating it over and over to everyone who has to ask?

       

      Also, why are those darn kids on my lawn, playing their hippy-hop music too darn loud?

      The page you need to apply to be a member of and be approved as well.

       

      Hey maybe their site is so hot that they are turning people away so don't feel the need to advertise.

      Fun times, fun times, much Guarding was done, and surprisingly little dying for the Emperor.

       

      And I do actually seem to be getting TK'd less now that I'm sticking a lasgun barrel or a helmet with an Aquila on it round corners.

  10. Santa was kind to me. Got some MTP  kit, a combat shirt and trousers. If somehow my camo isn't effective I have  3 new evo magazines to return fire with as well.

      'Abbey 144a Maintenance Gas' (£6) for storing in gas mags when not in use. Saves the seals from drying out. I swear by it after leaving all sorts of other gases inside for weeks. Eventually they've given out across all manner of gas mags......but not since I've been using the 144aMG after every game.

      Roll of PTFE tape. Literally costs 70p

  12. Why don't people in ghillies get tapped around their arms like everyone else? 

     

    It's just not fair in my opinion.

      If unsure, shoot em anyway!!

       

      I went rogue on my last game as it was night they asked us to take off the arm bands and use colour challenges, the colour challenge didnt work so I stopped answering and started shooting. Worked for me :D  

    3. Adolf Hamster

      Adolf Hamster

      if in doubt just shoot them, if they complain about freindly fire just point out that you couldn't identify their team.

       

      it's the hubris you should expect for not being identifiable to your team, and freindly fire is very much part of airsoft mainly because how do you know it ain't freindly?

    4. sonofsammo

      sonofsammo

      They do, depending on the site. I play at six different sites normally.
      There's only one out of those where Ghillies don't get taped/banded.
      At that site, all snipers are shown at the start and made known to all players. There is the understanding that you will probably shoot your own snipers at some point. nowt wrong with that as far as I can see - and all the players are fine with it.
      The team that runs the site are working on the logic - what's the point of a ghillie suit if you're wearing a neon arm band...

      p.s. If the rule is that annoying to you, get yourself a ghillie - there's nothing to say what weapon you have to use with it 😄 

  13. anyone know how to fit these to a dye i5 mask? 

    https://www.justpaintball.co.uk/dye-i5-ear-pieces-pair.html

     

    want to glue a ear piece to one but be able to swap it out if I don't want communication /prefer comfort. I can't figure out how to get mine off and the manual isn't helpful.

  14. Could be good for airsofters since we don't have big batteries. Seems it clamps on the cables the original had  grommet for the cables to go in bit disappointing if that is the case but as long as it doesn't damage them it will do the job.

  15. Anyone used abbey vertex gas on their TM pistol magazines? The nozzle seems too fat  I can't get it to fill mine. 🤔 Was stuck using 2.0 nuprol at 220-230 FPS.

      Length wasn't my issue here's side by side with my nuprol 2.0

  16. Had one of my mags end up in a situation like the bottom one in the image. It was a full magazine and all but 4-5 bbs fed and when I pulled it out after I realised my red bb justice wasn't firing out the end I took the magazine out and I noticed it was jammed at the convergence point. 

     

    https://imgur.com/zJdkj3Z

     

    It cost me dearly as you can see the tracers stop in the video but my gun keep cycling because the empty mag catch doesn't make it up. I pull it out to check and see it still has bbs left so put it back in but still no red justice. When I inspected it later I realised it was jammed up like the picture. 

     

    I have dropped my magazines 3 times ( separate occasions and I don't mark my magazines to know which one took the drops)  but I am pretty careful with them usually. I read this can happen if the magazine gets a bend or dent in from dropping so I hope that isn't the case but it's possible. 

     

    I'm going to clean the track with cotton buds and rubbing alcohol hoping it's just dirt. Anyone got any other suggestions?

      @Yukarin0 gaps. I load 1 by 1 usually. I start the stack on the right.

      @Lozart had plenty of games with these mags and bbs before without noticing it and I have emptied all 3 magazines a few times in games.

      No beer for me. Kinda wish I didn't have this case anymore but as long as it doesnt  mean any extra set up than the standard batteries on fun day it's not like it cost a lot for a high level of protection. Really puts me off getting another case as every accessory, scope grip , light and even sling required modification not sure how the egg shell cases work with these accessories and taking them on and off is hassle.

      Slight issue is they aren't supposed to be tucked in but my battle belt goes through my trousers. Hopefully it's long enough to tuck in without coming out all day.
