MadMole

it wasnt a rif, it was a firearm (airgun). Important difference

That was a BB air pistol by looks, not Airsoft

Well yeah, lets all drill holes in the polycarb till its 80% not there and call it protection Just get a Warq, end of all your fogging and protection worries

ICS is a 19mm rail, the same as a real L85. The G&G is a 20mm ICS do a 20mm conversion rail for their L85/L86 if you want to run normal picatinney sights (although some will clamp small enough to fit the 19mm)

I see your cheek riser and raise you my double stacks

I use optics on 2 1" risers for a total of 2" of rise 1) I'm slightly short sighted and astigmatic, but by using a 3X sight I can avoid wearing glasses during a game and see better than most folks 2) I wear a Warq, that requires a 1" riser due to its check weld (its only drawback) 3) I'm right handed but blind in my right eye, so when shooting right shouldered I need another 1" of riser to lift the sight up to my top eye This way, I can shoot from either shoulder (and do so) have found no negatives other than it looks a bit odd

Anything from SkyRc the 65 and 100 series are brilliant and will charge any type of battery your likely to get That charger you had is 0.3amp, its not really enough ommph to charge anything in a reasonable time. 1 amp charge rate is standard requirement

They've probably put in a maple leaf hop rubber, these have longer than average feed lips push the hop rubber onto the barrel firmly, or swap for a prommy purple

Shame, its a VFC so the gearbox will explode in 20 seconds of use. Why o Why cant a good make do one (ICS, G&G are you listening?)

ASG CZ P-09. Sorted

8 Baofengs and a licence. Most of our team now have them. I set up a Chirp program map and just send all the newbies a chirp export file that's customised with their name etc. The map has the legal licensed frequencies and the PMR ones all mapped in. I've moved from the 5r to the 9r as its waterproof, which is a bit more secure for wet game days Swap the aerials out for a genuine Nagoya 771 one, or Retevis' version and the range is good enough for anything an airsoft game is likely to throw at you Oh and when purchasing them, get them direct from official Baofeng and web sites, there is a ton of fakes and clones. When you test the fakes they have low power and terrible performance/ noidse etc. the genuine are superb

Thats cos folks run 11.1v on the EVO, when its clearly stated to run 7.4v or 9.9 Life for UK spec Evo's, they only have small cylinder volume and are fast out of the box with a soft M95 spring and little to no shimming. Spinning the lot with an 11v is too much for it

After trying Dye i4, Bolle X800, various home brew fans etc, I just went to a Warq. That's it. Sorted, no fog ever, rain, sun, running, sitting. Plus total protection, lightweight, and jusst one strap to do up. can wear my normal glasses underneath and they don't steam either

Blaster's have been terrible for ages, lots of random voids in them as well

They are more size/weight consistant, than many well know makes. I've actually measured them. Airsoft draft clubs are the worst I seen, random shaped, followed by Blasters (random voids). Novritsch's, Geoffs, Valkyrie, G&G are all very good and consistant. Valkyries are a good price in bulk, come in nice tubes and have been 2 day delivery each time I've ordered. Seen no inconsistency between weights. So have become my go to, as all my barrels are 6.01 or 6.02 would expect issues if there were any distortions

The ICS L85 takes a 510/500mm barrel perfectly assuming a full size L85 and not the carbine. The Maple leaf 6.02 barrel and Mr Hop are a great combo in it, with an Omega nub you don't need to do anything with the hop unit. It will take 11 v through the original trigger contacts no probs (just not needed, works fine on 7 or 9v ), just solder a Gate Warfet in against the top receiver. I have the Gate Pico AAB in one of mine as well The ICS gearbox is extremely good, mine needed a single .2 shim to make it perfect (Pinion), most are almost there from factory, gears are as good as aftermarket. If you want to increase ROF, put a faster motor on and use a Warfet to set pre-cock etc Guarder SP110 spring will get you 340 fps on the middle setting assuming all air seals are good. I've got one firing at 15 rps and one at 20 (both on 7v Titans). Don't want it any faster as that slight gap makes it easier to follow each BB through my 4x sight and walk it onto target if needed. Shooting 60m+ and laser straight Oh and yes, you do need some barrel support! One thing to watch for, if you fall and stick barrel in ground, it flexes easily and can bend the inner barrel. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Maple-Leaf-Airsoft-6-02-Stainless-Steel-AEG-Precession-Barrel-Softair-6mm-bbs/372661978425?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&var=641684415126&_trksid=p2060353.m2749.l2649 https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Maple-Leaf-Super-Macaron-Hop-Bucking-50-60-70-75-80-Omega-Nub/324330603677?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&var=513398421328&_trksid=p2060353.m2749.l2649 https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Guarder-Phantom-Airsoft-SP-AEG-Spring-6mm-bbs-Softair/133332996564?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&var=432737303176&_trksid=p2060353.m2749.l2649 https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Maple-Leaf-Hop-Rubber-50-Degree-MR-HOP-for-AEG/224090967398?hash=item342cdccd66:g:s4sAAOSweENfGX-R

Here are my 3, Top is a full on Mike Cripps build, based on his recommendations and a TM 5.1. snappy, shoots very accurately, 340fps on Black, Virtually all internals are custom as is Slide. This is my Plinking gun Middle is a medium Mike build, again based on a TM 5.1. Barrel, Hop, Nozzle upgraded. 80% of the above for half its price. 330fps on Black gas, Slide is original TM. Notice the MantisX unit , this is my dry fire training gun Bottom is 2 year old Novritsch SSP1 with cutaway slide and short stroke kit, all else is standard. Main Skirmish Side arm, its survived, rain, mud and everything its been asked of. Reasonably accurate, loud, effective, reliable. 340fps on Black Gas and works well in the cold

I have 2 high end High capa's from Mike at Elite, both fantastic pistols and highly recommend, but I still skirmish with a near standard SSP1 (cutaway slide and short stoke kit). Its dependable, accurate enough and survives being sat on, dragged in mud etc for the last 2 years

File the feed lips a little to make a circle in the middle. will let the BB's sit a fraction higher andn centered. Common issue on Mk23 and Hi-capa's as well

I've fired about 15,000 Valkyries now, 0.28 and 0.25's. Not a single issue, very consistent. I have a personal set of data on many makes BB's where I measure mass, size in 3 axis, molding marks, blemishes and internal voids and Valkyrie are very very good in all aspects I've measured. Personally I have swapped to Valkyrie for all but heavy BB's for which I use Novritsch's. I also would use Geoffs and G&G's. Valkyrie are bringing out heavy BB's shortly so I suspect they will be my sole provider then Brands I avoid, Blasters (horrible random internal voids), Baddass, Snow Wolf, Cursed, draft club (airsoft operators box (boy are they bad!)) Hell, even cheapo Bulldogs are better than blasters (and much cheaper)

Strange, G36's are not mag sensitive at all normally, if it clicks in it feeds

Did you change your hop unit? much more likely on a G36 that your hop feed tube isn't quite in the right place and the tension is overcoming the friction caused by misalignment. Or your nozzle length is wrong or the tappit plate not sat correctly or bent. Did you change any of these? I have 4 G36's and have serviced many makes of them, they are very critical of nozzle length and not all makes work with all nozzle's. plastic tappit arms get bent etc, even .5 of a mm makes all the difference

Novritsh Bio BB's (dont mock) The main material of the sample is s Polylactic acid (PLA),. Inorganic Filler Content: 85.1 % BaSo4 + Cerium Oxide. They are moisture insensitive (never had one jam even after bag open several months, kept in damp workshop), and certified to German standards to be 100% biodegradable Used them for last year, very consistent, no failures, no air bubbles or surface marks (unlike the AGS I used before) and cheaper for heavier weights. Very nice BB's. Now use them exclusivity 0.28 for AEG's, 0.36 for pistols and 0.4 for sniper. Cant see any difference from his non Bio's

Bio BB's haven't used hygroscopic PVA for many years now. They are moisture stable. Mind you they take many years to rot and only under landfill conditions
