Continuing the £20 masada story, stripped the God awful black paint from it (and some of the original) 🙄 Sorted the non existent safety, changed the 10yr old hop rubber, adjusted the motor and general tidying After stripping the paint there were a few stains left over but I feel it gives it a used look which is fine. Acquired some mags from @Colin Allen and it feeds and fires at 310fps on a .25

So stripped off the paint (and some original paint) Came out better than I thought, gives the kinda dirty used look as the paint has stained the plastic in places. Sorted out the non existent safe setting, currently shooting at 310fps on a .25. Many thanks to @Colin Allenfor the mags and for the tips on painting from everyone

So the biostrip works fine on the plastic parts but the metal upper has started to lose it's original coating as well as the paint. someone pass me a rattle can.............

Yep me too, then do my usual thing of gutting it and rebuilding it to my liking 😂

So I decided to go with biostrip and I'm pleased with the Initial results. Tested on a small area to begin with and it loosened the paint within 10minutes. Coated the handguard today and left it for half an hour, cleaned most the paint off except for a few areas that seemed thicker. Coated it again and it's mostly come off. There are a few darker areas after cleaning off but I can live with it. May have another go but the initial results are good

Always a good idea to swap out the hop rubber from standard. Clean out your inner barrel too

Yeah I got an xl version too as I'm a chunky boy. Don't use it anymore though as they are heavy and get too hot

am I missing something?? Got mine for £35 with pouches and cummerbund

I'll get some petrol and give it a try

Of course 😁

Thanks for the info folks, hopefully it comes out alright. Ps. I don't smoke 😁

So I recently acquired this pts masada akm and am looking to probably use it but first I'd like to remove this god awful kryptek style paint job it has. From the look of it the gun was tan originally, would I beable to get it back to that or am I hoping too much? Any advice on products to use, techniques etc is very much appreciated TIA

the advice I was given before was to put a little dab of superglue on the bottom part and the grip should hold it in place when put back on

PTS AKM Masada for a grand total of................................................... £20 no mags though, already sourced some so need to wait for delivery has a mosfet and other upgrades already installed Been a walhanger for a few years and was placed in a bargain bin as couldn't get the mags. Even if I couldn't get the mags it was too good to turn down

there's a spring missing that holds the bar up part 71 on the lower left quadrant this is a genuine WE replacement part https://www.kyairsoft.com/m9-71-semi-gen-1-gbbp.html and here is a HFC one, should work but i could be wrong https://www.justbbguns.co.uk/hfc-m9-trigger-bar-spring-for-airsoft-pistol-m42-g190-16/

hop might be set to zero so there's nothing putting pressure on the bbs to keep them in the barrel

would this work? if it's for silencers to screw on then would probably work for a tracer unit too https://www.firesupport.uk/laylaxnineball-tokyo-marui-silencer-attachment-for-aep-m93r-compatibles.html

Not an ak as such but same family

After a long time searching i finally found a cyma bizon

There's also ace airsoft near cosford in wolverhampton unless that's one you've excluded?

As said above, 24hrs unless other arrangements are made like waiting until payday or until they can collect in person and pay cash

An actual raffle??? or the "raffle" we tell our SO's we got stuff from 😁
