I was at a gameday on Saturday, there was 4 of us with Comms, all using channel 3 PMR446. There was my dad and I who could speak and hear each other, and 2 friends who could hear and speak to eachother. The issue was my dad and I couldn't speak to our 2 friends, though we could hear them. Is there something I'm missing? Thanks

Ah yes, good idea! Don't know why I immediate thought about buying them haha thank you!

Hi, okay, thank you for the info :] I'll try one of each to see. thank you very much for your help

Been after a 1911 for a while and found a valken one in a clearence without a mag for around £50, but can't source actual valken mags. The seller says the Nuprol Raven 1911 mags fit but the slide lock doesn't work with those mags, so ideally would like to have the correct mags. I've Googled but can't seem to find anywhere in the UK Selling Valken mags. Any ideas chaps? Many thanks

I've seen revision sawfly which are mil-prf-31013 rated so will likely pick them up. Someone is selling them on eBay for £22 a pair with yellow and dark lenses so will give them a whirl I think...

So basically Z87.1 doesn't sound suitable haha The best I can do at the moment is to shoot them with a gun doing 350fps at point blank and see how they hold up. Assuming they hold out, would I need someone with a 500fps gun to shoot them still? Given the distance that snipers tend to play from, a direct hit to the lens will be quite a lot less powerful than when it immediately leaves the barrel? Many thanks

Anybody using these Apache glasses? Wondering how safe they are for airsoft and some reviews from past or.present users of them. They're ANSI Z87.1 rated, is that sufficient for UK Airsoft(?) as seen on some other forums talk of the ANSI Z87.1+. Currently using ESS V12 and Revision WolfSpider goggle both of which are Z87.1+, but want something a little lighter and low profile. I appreciate any replies Many thanks

Hi, so I actually fixed the inconsistency by filing away some plastic from the front of the tappet plate, it's now consistent at 295-300fps on .25g, as that's the only BB's I had spare, without any drops. But will try again with an SHS AK tappet and see if that makes any difference Thanks for the detailed reply

Hi, so I got an E&L AK74u w/ railed handguard, it looks very, very pretty. Out the box it was doing around 333fps with drops down to as low as 112fps. I was a bit pissed about this, but, I'd worked on enough M4's and a G36c umpteen times to feel more than comfortable and confident in taking this apart, assuming it was likely a dodgy seal somewhere in the compression parts. The only slightly poor compression part was the nozzle seal on the cylinder head; it leaked at full extension. E&L have used a machined one piece cylinder and cylinder head, which sure provides a good seal given its one piece, but it's ribbed on the inside and when the piston moves down it sounds like someone sawing through something, it sounds horrific. Not sure for who's pleasure it's ribbed for lol I digress; I had a spare cylinder, piston and piston head, I bought a new double seal cylinder head, and replaced the spare piston's o-ring with a 19.5mm one for that extra little bit of seal. Everything together, the compression was great, no leaks, felt absolutely solid and everything moves great inside the gearbox. Shimming in the gearbox was good, I tweaked it ever so slightly with some 0.01mm shims and got the gearset spinning flawlessly. I also cleaned the hop rubber, and chamber. Whacked it all back together with an m110, expecting the fps would be hot, but it's the only spring I had and bam! 320fps with random drops to 269fps. So still got the same issue as out the box, but the drop isnt as significant and inconsistent. So having spoken to AK2M4, I'm going to try a harder bucking at 70⁰. Failing that, it's a new hop unit I suppose, unless any of you guys have had similar experiences and have any suggestions to help a brother out! Lol Thanks guys.
