I use this battery in my magpul handguard: https://eagle6.co.uk/shop/catalog/product/view/id/4693/s/vapextech-airsoft-7-4v-1300mah-25c-lipo-cranstock-battery-with-case-lp302-deans-version/ I would recommend switching the connectors of the battery to MR30's so you don't need to use the adapter as space is tight

Unfortunately all torch grips on the market require some modification to be "useable" I wasnt massively impressed with the quality of the VFC torchgrip I've got but its 10% of the price of a RS surefire grip

Anyone know where I can get a clone Midwest MLOK handguard from?

I would heavily recommend upgrading the hop rubber to Laylax Nineball used my MP5 at the weekend after upgrading it and it shoots lasers incredibly straight and with very good range on 0.28's https://eagle6.co.uk/shop/catalog/product/view/id/5274/s/laylax-nineball-air-seal-chamber-bucking-compact-soft-type-for-aep-cmg/

Did the unthinkable and opened up my MP5 and let the Japanese pixie dust out changed the bucking to a nineball purple rubber and also chucked in an eagle6 M100 managed to find a YouTube video of some Japanese guy taking the gun apart and it wasn’t too bad, struggled with removing the fire selector until I realised you have to pull the trigger as you pull it out

I think Airsoft Direct have some instock atm

Would be good to see a guide / tutorial of how this is done I heard it requires a lathe which is hard to get hold of for most people

New little project for me, started to wonder how hard to would be to 3D print my own handguards 1 hour in and I've got the front end modelled up reasonably accurately (I think) going to try an M-Lok rail first and then maybe try an SD style front end

I imagine its the chip shortage that's causing it, with it being the first NGRS with a mosfet other than the MK46 I assume they cant make enough to meet demand

Not good news for those hoping to get their hands on an MP5 in the next few months

I recently acquired a MK46 and that came with 2 Titan batteries they fit inside the handguard very well https://www.airsoftanonymous.co.uk/products/titan-power-7-4v-3000mah-stick-deans-lithium-ion-battery

Yes I tried fitting an Xcortech XT301 inside but not good way of holding it in place without a custom 3D printed shroud

Anyone upgrade their barrel and hop up yet? Thinking of putting a Laylax 6.03 EG barrel with a Nineball AEP bucking in might also put a new spring in at the same time and try and get it up to the 340 FPS mark

Got my handguard fitted now and the space for the battery created max space for a battery is about 77mm long by 40mm wide looks like PEQ style batteries might be the way to go or one of these expensive titan batteries: https://www.landwarriorairsoft.com/batteries-bbs-gas-chronographs-c5/batteries-c62/titan-power-version-7-0-7-4v-3000mah-li-ion-brick-battery-deans-connection-p10821

My VFC Flashlight handguard finally showed up this morning after a month long wait from Bunny workshop Not quite as drop in fit as I heard it was but only a small issue which can be easily solved, the pin doesn't quite push through so I will take a Dremel and just enlarge that hole ever so slightly I am also going to try and take away the 2 lines of plastic inside the handguard to try and increase the battery space so I will let you know how that goes

I found with one of my mags in the first few games the follower would get stuck and wouldn't feed so I just gave the mag a whack against a hard surface and it became unstuck new mags do sometimes require abit of bedding in

After a long time they have finally dispatched it and its on its way to me, I will update when I finally get my package For future purchases just have to bear in mind they may take a few weeks to dispatch it and not communicate anything to you

Anyone ordered from Bunny Workshop before? I placed a order on the 11th of October for an item their website says is in stock, a week passes and no dispatch email so I send them an email asking when it will be dispatched? no response and then on the 21st of October I get an email saying my order is on its way but when I check the tracking number it just says the sender is preparing to post your item. seems like they don't actually have the item and are just trying to keep my money. Should I raise a PayPal dispute?

I am sure rocketdogbert meant well by informing us what he heard, probably just a miscommunication on Wolf Armouries part In other news Bunny workshop FINALLY dispatched my torch grip so hopefully that will turn up in the next 2 weeks

Would be good to know what Dealer gave you this information @rocketdogbert I spoke to the shop I brought mine from and they have asked their agent in Japan who came back with "Regarding MP5A5 Mosfet, We haven’t received any information about the problem from Tokyo Marui and our customers. MP5A5 is designed on the premise of using Tokyo Marui 8.4V NiMH battery or Tokyo Marui genuine Lipo battery, so if your customer uses other batteries, it is not guaranteed." Seems like everything is okay, TM where pretty open and quick to announce the issues with the MK46

I reached out to Airsoft Zone UK where I got mine from, they have contacted their agent in Japan about it so I will let you know if I hear anything

I would have thought that TM would have put something out on twitter about this recall at the least ? Hopefully TM will support us UK customers because there really is no good replacement for it unless anyone knows a V2 mosfet that can support a 4 position fire selector? Makes me wonder what batteries the people who's M-SYSTEM caught fire where running, wouldn't be surprised if they where using a 11.1v Lipo

Just ordered myself a VFC torch grip from Bunny workshop $98 with shipping, hopefully it doesn't take too long to get here
