[Trouble Filling TM Mags]

Also, you want Nuprol 2.0 green for Summer and Nuprol 3.0 Red for Winter. 1.0 will work for about 1 day a year in UK at 40C

 

[Magazine Purging and Another Question.]

Been running a TM 5.1 on black Nuprol 4 for 5 years now, all on dry fire with a Mantis X trainer. Its still going strong despite thousands of dry fire cycles. Slide is standard TM plastic but it does have a silicon buffer on the main spring

[Last round hold]

Just put your thumb on the slide lock while shooting, easy, free and works fine

 

[UK law on shooting a RIF in a garden]

I'd go with the CPS's prosecution definitions  https://www.cps.gov.uk/legal-guidance/firearms. This defines a firearm, exempts airsoft RIF's but clearly makes Moscarts very dodgy

[ARES Enfield No4. Mk1 and No4. Mk1(T)]

mmmm my genuine bayonet fits fine on my straight No.4 Mk1 (non T) Ares

 

Modified genuine Mk3 flip[ up sight to fit and a 6.02 barrel and ML hop waiting to go in. Dad says its very realistic (was his service weapon), weight is right and even sounds nearly right , Shoots not bad out of box, I've only tried to 50m but probably a 25cm grouping at that distance. 432fps standard (stronger spring to go in). Smooth to cycle

 

I've linseeded the stock which not only gives it a great smell, but a better deeper color. Fitted a genuine WW2 sling, have a replica, cover, Bayonet frog and case, stripper clips and bandolier and a canvas case for it

 

Worth every penny, good for a wall hanger and the odd skirmish, to go with the Webley and Sten. Need to get some pattern 37 stuff now

 

Spare mags from Ares shop online at reasonable price

Need to get another bayonet and replace the spike with rubber, it looks so good with it on

[Is there a way for a 16yo to get a RIF?]

How are you buying these IF's? You're under 18 so its a criminal offence to do so regardless of their colour, do you parents know this or are they buying them for you?

But they didn't have loicences! 😮

No such thing, and a defense is only required by the seller for a sale or to import. No need at all for a defense to own, use, paint, pass over fence, shoot in your garden etc and "I play airsoft at a proper site" is a suitable one

I'd argue it the other way: if the prohibition is intended to apply to sound, why would it apply to air guns?  If it's appearance, why wouldn't it apply to RIFs?

 

 

Nowhere does the law mention sound, it very clearly states "discharges any firearm or firework". As an airsoft RIF is neither the law doesn't apply. However it does apply to airguns as they are a firearm (albeit, a special subclass)

Think I may go and remind my opposite neighbor of this, as his show level rockets are currently freaking my dogs out and trying to shake our house apart and he is far less than 30ft from the road, and debris is reigning down everywhere including my koi pond

[UK law on shooting a RIF in a garden]

The highways act is very clear and applies to FIREARMS. A RIF is not a firearm, it just looks like one, hence that rule does not apply to airsoft, but does to air rifles

 

I just talked to both my neighbours, which resulted in several rifs being passed over the fence so they could have a go as well 8-)

[Hi capa issue]

Clean and lube it

 

[ASG CZ Shadow 2 Slide Sticking]

Techt gun drops and liberally lube it and give the mags router rubber a slight wipe. Bet that sorts it

Marvellous, thank you for the help.

I’ll wait for the sterling to arrive and resist the itchy finger in the sale box

Where did you find a Sterling? not seen a older gen one available for many moons now, still looking

[Co2 Magazine piercing valve part?]

Thats a sintered filter not a piercer

[How old is to old]

Fortnight for the youngsters, Rainbow 6 Siege, COD 2&3, World of Warships, Breakpoint , are the usual suspects

[How old is to old]

58 here. With age comes wisdom. You dont need to run around like a teenager when you can out strategy them

 

We play shoot em ups on the PC every Tuesday, us oldies, our sons and grandkids, they thrash us every week with their better reactions. So we took the youngsters to play airsoft. They were slaughtered!!, unfit, no tactics, not used to carrying a weight (a rifle is not like a mouse or game controller). In short it was a bit of a shock to them and great merryment was had by the dads

[Weathering - Yes or No? and How hard is it?]

I spray a bit of chrome silver paint onto a sheet of paper and lightly dab one of those kitchen sponges (small square with green scrubber on back) on the paint, then lightly brush the corners and wear points on the Rif with it. you can use the yellow side for full wear and the green fuzzy side for leas heavy wear

Looks just like wear, but you can take it off if you do it wrong and looks less artificial than wire wool scratches, and it works fine on plastic TM's

[Thoughts on YT channel Negative Airsoft]

Watch his video's you will learn a lot. some wont agree with everything he does and say, but my tinkering experiences match his and at least he tells it like it is

 

I still own some VFC's and Ares though!

[Ghillie suit wearers/snipers wearing team armbands around their ankles or hidden among their foliage. Cheating? Close to the limits? Tactical?]

Still manage to shoot the marshals occasionally, especially when they walk right through your field of fire while you are engaged through a DMR scope, dayglo or not

[Ghillie suit wearers/snipers wearing team armbands around their ankles or hidden among their foliage. Cheating? Close to the limits? Tactical?]

But makes you look like the enemy right in front of me looking towards me. Instant head removal with a 7.62mm (well the 6mm bloodless airsoft version of it)

[Ghillie suit wearers/snipers wearing team armbands around their ankles or hidden among their foliage. Cheating? Close to the limits? Tactical?]

My rule, if they are facing me I shoot! if its a bush that moves I shoot, if its a bush that didn't move but glints in the sun, full auto it!

 

Teaches the chav's who wear backwards baseball caps a lesson too, 

At our site the marshals put the tape on the teams arm so no cheating allowed

[Grease Experiment Results]

Try Techt Gun drops and grease. In other tests its been the most friction reducing lube. Works great 

[New camo - Kreuzotter from Novritch]

I've got some of the new KreuzOtter 8-) stuff on my DMR, its pretty good in UK woodland, like a smaller pattern DPM, but importantly its got no black in it, which normally stands out like a sore thumb in woodland. Works well and at least he has some unique rifle wraps and covers that you can't get elsewhere (Even Aliexpress) and available in other patterns 

[Would “muc-off wet lube” work for the metal parts in a 1911 and why / why not?]

Friction testing show Techt gun drops to be about the lowest friction lube. Las'ts ages and is very good. It's all I've used for last 4 years

[NUPROL 60W Smart Charger how to use]

Best instructions for any Charger with Nuprol on it

 

1) Throw it in the bin

2) Buy anything with SkyRC written on it instead

 

The number of lipo fires and blow ups that feature Nuprol chargers is very worrying. They rebrand the cheapest of the cheap for maximum markup and the components fail and the circuits don't detect full charge so keep on pumping electrons in

 

 

[G&G L85A2 (SA80) ETU & MOSFET Assault Version HELP]

Lipo or lion fine for ICS, you can even run an 11v as the gears are very good. (but there is no benefit in reality). I run Titan 7000mah 7.4's.

 

The fire rate on them is about 15rps which is perfect for walking in rounds and not stupidly fast to annoy anyone. the ICS isn't fussy about mags like the G&G is either
