What are you trying to do?

It'd be near impossible for anyone to give you an accurate answer. Focus on getting everything where you want it first and chrono afterwards. Spring changes on Evo's can be done almost instantly, so if you don't have a chrono at home, take a slightly weaker spring with you just in case. I will also add I wasn't a fan of the CNC hop unit. It's obviously made by ASG too but for some reason you need to meticulously shim it or lose 100+fps. In my experience (I've owned several Evo's), they all hop 0.28's nice and straight for 50M+ out the box. I can't understand why you'd need more than that from an SMG. I also didn't see an improvement in range from swapping the bucking or barrel. Again IMO, they're ideally suited for the job OOTB.

I've had two of these. One in each of the different box designs. In fact I know that when mine arrived in the yellow box, it had been sent directly from the WE factory.

How many of us have small springs hiding in our homes?

What are you talking about!? Most I've been to make SHOT show look like a flea market.

I can hear the creaking from here. Only joking, love a bit of nostalgia. Thanks for sharing.

When you play squash, you charge around a small walled court, smashing in to the walls and skirmming your racket a long the floor. As such squash players know they can't get a refund after one game, let alone sixteen. IMO, it's a long the same lines with an Airsoft gun. As soon as you take the tags off and throw it around the woods, their obligation ends.

I noticed that too. I know they're cautious when it comes to H&K markings. Obviously Umarex "make" both the licenced H&K and Glock replicas.

IMO, you should speak to people at game days (and ideally hold theirs) and go to shops, again getting an idea of what you like ergonomically speaking. In the meantime sort your UKARA, otherwise you may regret dropping £300 on a brightly coloured one.

I can't help with your specific question I'm afraid. However I have bought from them a few times and can tell you that the vast majority of negative feedback they receive is because if you annoy them, they will literally tell you to fuck off. Usually nothing to do with the items they stock.

May sound silly but have you checked your chrono is reading as you'd expect it with your other guns? I had one that started giving seemingly random readouts. At first I thought it was the gun but bought another and was getting the results I expected.

He should have just marketed it as a GBBR SSG-1.

Do you think it prudent for me to keep a screenshot of this Wikipedia article on my person, when attending a bog standard weekend skirmish?

I could go back through the videos he sent and list them but really I believe teching is less about replacing parts for more expensive ones and more about knowing which areas to address when a gun isn't performing the way you want. He spends so much time modifying existing parts and fine tuning, that really most of the expense ends up being labour. As I'm sure he'd also say, while there are tried and tested quality parts, what works in a gun varies massively, not only between make and model but even two examples of the same! Saying that, I do have a warhead motor in the G&G M4 and that thing is phenomenal. Instant trigger reaction and doesn't seem to get hot in the same way a normal Airsoft motor does. Again though, it went straight in to my gun. For others, extensive modification could be required to get it working perfectly. That's where experience comes in and exactly the kind of thing I'm happy to pay for.

I'm envious of those who can do it themselves. Must be very rewarding.

I've just had these two DMR's built by Negative Airsoft. There really is a hell of a lot more involved than just changing the barrel, hop and spring. If you're a decent enough tinkerer, then you'll likely have some fun learning a long the way. I'm obviously not, which is why I just put my hand in my pocket from the start.

Yeah, there are a few things you can do with an AAP.... VID_20210808_123131.mp4

Didn't you make a video on the TM LCP? How are you getting on with it? At all usable in a real skirmish? Let's face it, most of us - especially woodland skirmishers, use a sidearm far less than we expect to.

I've got one of these. Seems accurate but yeah, didn't bother with the mounting tubes and have shot the hell out of it. Whoops.

I very nearly picked one up this year but decided 40 round gas mags weren't going to be enough for me in woodland. I'm sure they're fun in general but I think the novelty would soon wear off when I start feeling massively outgunned.

Airsoft retail doesn't work like that. This stuff is coming in shipping containers from different suppliers. As such you'll see "Marui Restock" "CYMA Restock" "Double Eagle Restock"....you get the point. Once those batches have sold out, it could be several months.

Oh sheeet. Not sure you could pay me enough to keep that in my house (sorry OP!). I bought my first airsoft gun from there. Didn't do too badly though as it was a WE F(P)226.

The only good metal 1911's are CO2. Which you obviously wouldn't want to use on a TM base gun.

Especially if you are working on a bolty, access to a chrono will make your life a lot easier. As mentioned above, spring power varies from manufacturer to manufacturer and even from spring to spring (by the same manufacturer) in some cases. For one of my AEG's I was getting 325fps on a M115, so an M120 should have given me 340fps. However buying a Nuprol M120 put me over 400.

I'll just add, I love my CO2 pistols for winter use. I have 2 x ASG P-09's with upgraded inner barrels and buckings. They will shoot 5 x mags worth on one bulb at around 325fps and will hop anything I need to them to far and straight. However the mags themselves are super unreliable, I'm currently at 4 or 5 which are unusable due to leaks. At £30 a mag, that's definitely an issue. Also in 20C ambient temps, they shoot somewhere around the 370fps mark - making them too powerful for use in a skirmish during the warmer months. Any of the newer TM's should serve you well for most environments when using the right gas. If we're talking 100% stock, my favourite out of all the pistols I've ever owned is my TM Hi-Capa Gold Match. I left a mag outside in 4C for about three hours and it was able to rapidly shoot 30 rounds in a row with zero venting.
