JD Airsoft will have them soon, sign up to their email notifications

I have been signed up since  February.😭

 

I messaged them in March and they said they would get stock in late April none appeared, Messaged them in August no ETA

 

 

I messaged them and got a near instant reply and they said soon

Silly hobbits.  Why ensure that two people are unhappy by moaning?

 

I regularly call "hits" on myself despite not feeling them when someone opens fire at a range where they should have hit me. 

 

They're not going to believe that they missed / misfired, and I can't effect that.  All I can do is ensure that at least one of us is happy.

 

I'm basically the Jesus of airsoft.

I will ask Johno if we can get you a crucifix installed on one of the sangers 🤣

If not just crucify him ! 😈

Well, when I nudged your button and nothing spurted out...

Well, that's a bag of wank.  Mine are still OK, but you're not the first to report this, or some sort of crazy starring on the inner lens.

 

I'm kind of assuming that at some point I'll need to disassemble mine and clean them, or replace the inner lens with bits of PETG.

I inspected the other lens too and found star shapes as well

 

Never taken them apart before but they are useless now so found they are pretty easy to pop apart. Was a gift for my xmas and 20 quid isn't expensive but used less than 10 times I am disappointed.

 

I read some guff about drying them out then sealing with silicone. Fek that

 

 

 

You can replace those inner lenses with any clear plastic.  I'd go with 0.75mm thickness of PETG. A5 will be more than sufficient for one pair:

If you need to replace the tape, I'd suggest 2mm thick double sided black foam tape.  Just cut it into a thin strip and run it round the edge, being sure to butt it up against itself at the join so as not to leave a gap.

If your going down the shoulder straps route I can’t recommend Blackhawk ones enough so comfortable to use .

@hunter511 does it fit snugly  in your pouches? 

 

Interesting idea to mount upside down  would aid in deployment for sure

with the flap over its fine, but it drops when the flap is undone. the base of the pouch is elastic and the lid length can be set so it holds it well. Yet to loose one when carrying like this and thats been my fairly standard set up for at least 2 years

 

liking it but can only find double or triple pouches. Maybe I just need a second trmr...........

@TheFull9 interesting I get black gunk of my rails every time I clean them post game day and it's a TM hi-capa stock slide. 

Could be impurities in the gas or dirt in the environment.  GBBs don't inherently create substantial fouling inside themselves when shot the way firearms do.  I mean heck maybe the TM plastic wears away just a tiny bit every game and that accumulates, who knows, I'd suspect the gas or environment first though.

The black is the pot metal the TM frame is made of slowly wearing away.

I do a basic clean of my pistol after every day / outing / event.

Thats if its a clean day, if its wet or muddy then during the day - its amazing the state they get in after a couple of hours, especially if you have trenches!

forgot to say. Report your own team as well. Talking when dead, not taking hits you see it easier and marshals will know you have little reason to make it up. 

The mags taper and the bit that holds on to it doesnt really get to the flat part 

I've cut a gap on the botton for the feed lips on one of them it seems much better. It's the taper on the hi-capa /2011 magazies work against the retention method of the kydex but if you can get the mag far enough down then it can grip the flat sides on the magazine.

Oh wow I didn't realise how far out those mags were gonna be jesus 

thanks guys, guess I wasn't missing a trick other than blowing it out lol

Magic trick: mag out, slide back, barrel in mouth and blow.

Nope 😢

I picked up a second hand TRMR E1 x4 for £50 thinking I'd just get the base and be sorted. I contacted  jdairsoft age ago they said new stock end of april but they certainly never stocked up. 

To be honest if JD told me my arse was on fire I wouldn’t believe them until I smelt smoke ! 😳

Try sitting it upside down and put a good squirt/drip of silicone in the hole just In case the O-ring has dried out a bit and needs a ‘drink’ .

Your replacement safety is on it's way. I got held up (forgot to post).

Cheers pal, Since it's an annoyance that can be changed it's deffo worth swapping.

If I can get over the honking front end I might be in to it. You going on the 28th? Seeing it next to my evo might convince me it's fine. 

Nope, I've been given a tongue lashing by the missus, and not in the good way.  My next permission slip is for May 12th.

 

The other torch that I run is this 'un:

 

https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/152743158670

 

UK sellers are available.  I link to that package for an example, as it contains batteries, a charger and the remote switch.

 

It's intended as a pistol torch (and works well on a G17) but is also nice and compact on an AEG.  It's surprisingly bright as it runs at 7.4V - I judge my torches on the number of "Fook's sake, mate!" protests, and that produces plenty of them.

 

I'm looking at S8 for the 12th so could be June till I'm back at Depot also that's old firm day so finding people who aren't busy to play with is getting tough bloody football!

 

I prefer the form factor for sure of that small one but the laser puts me off. Guess I just need to realise I already knew what I wanted and was checking if there was anything similar or better for the money or less.

 

Your red dot is that the ncstar one? https://www.zerooneairsoft.com/product_info.php?cPath=275_553&products_id=2497

 

The look is growing on me and might match the strange look of the evo.

Do you still hit your point of aim ? If so then who gives a monkeys .😉

" You wanna be careful with that, end up shooting yourself. "

 

It's OK, he had it on safe most of the day.

them czechs man, they know how to make a gun soldier proof

I can't turn off the unreal tournament announcer voice in my head.

 

 

Staring down the barrel of an Evo set to safe.

 

think there is a new season of one punch man thanks for reminding me. 

For the techs here is the old gears looks like it sheared the axle off

Good gravy, those things are wrecked.

 

So, tell us more about how you got the missus to peg you.

Told her my back and had one whip past my ear and the next one on my ass. Turns out she can't aim. 

Yezzzz, nice one.

Huzzah ! 

Packed better this time too

 

Their local pick up points are usually corner shops and the like, with a bit of space behind the counter.  I've had two of the local ones knock back RIF sized deliveries now - I fired in complains to UPS, but there doesn't seem to be any consequences for them doing this.

 

I foresee a CYMA CM.123 in your future...

First time I had it delivered was to a pickup point but the evos package is actually tiny.  But they sent it out to my actual address this time and UPS won't change it

 

"A signature is required for parcel delivery your parcel cannot be delivered to the requested location."

 

Not sure if I will be able to pick it up Saturday never had a missed UPS before. 

It does feel like we Airsofters are singled out for shit delivery services the only one thats been 100% for me is DHL.its like they know how much we want to get our PEW on and go out of their way to deny us our right to cause pain on others....Outrageous!!! 😡 🖖

Take a nerf gun

you should be CYMA's marketing department. Be kind enough to install the barrel backwards so it at least kills me before the enemy do heh. 

 

I'l put a few hundred bbs through it when I get it to see how it goes I'm hoping my bad luck turns around.

I'm sure it will be fine

They would of for free replaced the gears with original gears but I am buying upgraded gears at RRP and they are fitting them instead. Keeps my warranty intact. If I installed them would of void my warranty. 

 

Takes the total cost of my EVO up to £369.98 which if I could of ordered with the the better gears for this price in the first place I would have. 

Ouch.  But it seems a case of needing it sooner or later, and this is the best way to do it.

 

Reckon you'll have it back by Sunday?  If not, I should have some poverty-spec AEG spare [Goes to wire a Deans connector onto Poverty Spec AEG]

Better to get it done for the cost of the parts and keep my warranty but not be worried about the gears going again. It was a bug bear I knew about before buying it so if anything I was lucky I didn't have it happen in a game and that I can get the upgrade without shipping/labor costs as I knew it would need it eventually I was just hoping I would be one of the lucky ones that lasted a year. 

 

I imagine they will fit the parts tomorrow and ship it so it should arrive for Friday as it was quick delivery first time. They said they will do it ASAP and call me when it's ready to ship. I will give them till lunch time tomorrow to contact me again as the have agreed to pack it better for shipping it this time as that box it came in was holding on for dear life.

 

Might  give me the confidence to not bother with a second AEG as a backup.
