    If you're cutting a spring for an AEG, should it be at the guide or piston end?

      I think this deserves an "... and why?"

      Just chop it out the middle and you don't have to tidy up the ends.

      I received a gun from a retailer with a sharp and non-flattened spring in it. I returned it as I found it, but wanted to make sure I wasn't accused of doing some damage etc.

    Just a quick count of heads, does anyone here actually remove their inner barrel and hop unit to clean it?
  3. Cr0-Magnon
    You don't need them so close together. I'd say leave at least two squares between them so the remain foam doesn't just come away.

    My main concern if I were a potential buyer, would be this guns history. You see these come up in the classifieds all the time, with one dark and/or blurry picture on someone's duvet (usually also featuring the photographers feet). "I got this off a mate, who got it off some bloke at a game day. He reckons it's had some upgrades, dunno what or how old it is. Please give me £20 less than retail. Collection only, thanks" Put some effort into the ad and you may get around 60% of the new price. Hopefully you can at least recall how much you paid?

    My gun only shoots 50M but often the opposition are around 60M away, please advise which Maxx parts my gun needs!?!?!!?!!

    I've been selling my RIF's the wrong way all this time!
  7. Cr0-Magnon
    Does anyone here own one? How are you getting on with it? I've seen they do one which comes pre-installed with a Perun, but it's not cheap. I really like the look of them though! Also I'm seeing conflicting information regarding inner barrel length, some quote 250mm & others 320mm.

    Scorpion Evo tech from ten years ago ?

    With the frame, grips and receiver he started well, but just like Sarah Winchester, he couldn't stop adding to the build.

    I picked one of these up the other day. I like the overall colour scheme, there aren't many full green pistols about. I do like to know there's good spares support for my guns though. Am I right in thinking it's compatible with Hi-Capa 4.3 & MEU parts? Also, does anyone else have one of these or the Desert version? I'm actually really curious as to how it looks without the rail attachment.
  11. Cr0-Magnon
    I haven't owned a silver 5.1 but I have had a 4.3 Dual Stainless. The frame is essential hairline polished metal, rather than painted. I certainly can't imagine anything flaking off it if you're not even holstering.

    After briefly checking one out in my local shop yesterday, I'm very tempted to get a WE Apache (MP5A4). Any reason not to?

      Definitely VFC over WE, I've been owning both for 5+years, WE became a little wobbly over time while vfc holds it sturdy through out all these years

      I'd spend more money on VFC altough they aren't the best either. Marui NGRS MP5 is the closest alternative (probably).

      I may well just wait to see if another is announced this year. Realistically I'm not desperate for one and none of the current offerings are perfect.

  13. Cr0-Magnon
    A belt type which accommodates the RMR (I'm being boring and using a TM Micro Pro Sight) would be ideal. *It doesn't need to be light bearing.
  14. Cr0-Magnon
    I was in my local shop yesterday planning on picking up a Hi-Capa 4.3. I didn't know they even had these in stock, but as they did I took advantage and picked one up. Because of the ambi slide release, it doesn't actually fit in my Gen4 holster. Does anyone have a link to a Gen5 left-handed holster?
  15. Cr0-Magnon
    Same as the Umarex "Licensed product of"

    Fair enough, I've just found the quality per £, far higher in the air rifle world than Airsoft. £450 in Airsoft gets you a Taiwan made plastic musket, slinging light spherical objects at 2.2J. In the air rifle world it gets you something made in Germany from beech and steel, firing through a rifled barrel at 16J. The obvious advantage to Airsoft being able to skirmish with it. In answer to your question, I'd say pick up any cheap Well rifle. It'll probably be OK for your purposes and if not, you can enjoy tinkering with it.
  17. Cr0-Magnon
    Not the forum to discuss in depth but any reason to not just buy an air rifle if you're taking it to am airgun range? I have both Airsoft and air rifles, the accuracy of any airsoft gun pales in comparison.

    If it's not selling and you're keen to move it on, make sure your ad is the best it can be. Your gun just isn't desirable the way you've presented it. For a start the backend is three times longer than the front, you get to include ten photos. At least show it fully retracted in some of those. If you have a garden away from prying eyes, take advantage of that and get some close-ups in natural light, so people can accurately assess the condition. Currently I'm lumping you in with all the others we see who've bought a gun off a mate, who bought it off a bloke on a site. You're not really sure what the base gun is or when the work was done. You don't even seem to realise that it's too powerful to be used, all this doesn't instill confidence in the prospective buyer. If all that doesn't work, you should bring the price down incrementally. I could buy a brand new CYMA Platinum delivered to my door (you make no mention of postage), or several other mid to high-end RIF's, for what you're currently asking. All the best.

    Does the ambi slide release cause any issues using holsters which designed for earlier Gens?
  20. Cr0-Magnon
    I'm sure it performs beautifully but looks wise I prefer the earlier generations. In theory a Gen5 19 shouldn't be far behind, I may pick one of those up.
  21. Cr0-Magnon
    So you're advertising your support for someone when you have no idea what they do/stand for, because they sent you something free? Are you sure you don't have a YouTube channel? ?

    How long should I leave it before I accept that my last Airsoft game, was probably my last Airsoft game? ?

      When I burn out, I go somewhere new on my own for a session. I'll either have a great time and it will re-ignite me or I'll see that what I already have nearby isn't actually as bad so will re-ignite to go back.

      I used to very much identify as an "airsoft sniper" covid did me a solid and I got into Hi Capa builds and it's been an ongoing "ism" since.

       

      Sadly I too like you am one of the single figure % who play airsoft and aren't autistic though so game days with other airsofters are still challenging, that's why I pick who I go with carefully so I have a relaxed time - not neccessarily then "day to end all days" every time.

      I only burnt out (and haven't happened since) when I played way too much and not leaving any gap between two games. Also, it's not really a good thing to rely on only one hobby. Not saying you do but lot of people fail to see that you need other activities which isn't related to airsoft at all.

       

      Also, it's absolutely crucial to shop around regarding sites and switch it up a bit if you can. Like playing indoor for a while instead of outdoor all year long. I play indoor only but even I have to go around at least between 3-4 sites and I look for new ones all the time.

       

      Changing guns and changing play style (like using a dmr or a pistol or shotgun instead of an AEG) can actually make a difference because you have to force yourself to adapt either because you have to keep distance or you don't have the luxury of "range". Basically anything to spice it up instead of being stale.


      If you don't enjoy it anymore don't force it though. ?

    These are seemingly £190!? https://www.onlybbguns.co.uk/secutor-m870-velites-s-spring-shotgun-s-iii-s-series-od (Also nice "OD" OnlyBBguns)

    I've never used either system, I guess the headband is more secure?
  25. Cr0-Magnon
    I've found a pair of goggles that I REALLY like, however they will definitely fog up. The Novritsch Antifog unit requires you to cut a section out the top of the goggles. How does the ExFog attach?
