As above, 265fps on a 0.20g is spot on for a TM G19 which only has an 84mm inner barrel and there aren't really any upgrades to get it much above that. The TM V10 Ultra Compact is only 230 - 240fps on a 0.20g. Do you really need more though?

Which service accepts LiPos?

Collection only?

Welcome (back), have a good read through the site. Everything you asked has been discussed to death on previous threads.

Clicked on the link and one of the "You may also like" was this.... https://www.usedairsoft.co.uk/two-tone-replicas/glock-17-m-o-s-gen-5-in-9mm-like-new_i47256 In a sense I really hope that's a scam ? ....unless I'm missing something?

In neither the OP or those WhatsApp messages does he even reference Airsoft. Thought he could gain our trust just by doing this:

That's very true, I've seen them <£200 in Asia but then you need to add £120 postage! As you say, for a little more you can get a VFC - not sure I've seen many G&P's in The UK though?

Yeah as I suspected, cheers.

I'm tempted to pick one up based on liking the overall look, but being online I can't really judge the external build quality and for a £300 RIF it doesn't have much going on internally.

Those rubbers are horrible, for the price I don't think it's worth faffing around. They're a consumable item, so I often buy three or so at a time.

You're paying the big bucks for the potentially broken WE internals and mismatched externals.

Fuck me, are we still talking about Novritsch charging £20 more for a guitar stand, than you can get it for on Amazon ?

Does it help if you manipulate the trigger at the same time too?

I'm £700 into my Novritsch SSR4 and it's still not working ? I live in hope that I'll get to beat it to death over a period of many years, rather than just against a tree on my next skirmish. People run around with £1500+ NGRS. As you say though, everyone is different. I think wine is to be drunk, WWF figures bashed against eachother and Airsoft guns to be shot in the spirit of the game. ....of course I understand some are irreplaceable but that's different to "expensive".

Just remember that the majority of aftermarket slides are designed for TM Glocks, so may not be good fit without at least some modification.

I watched that KM video and it was refreshing to see him drop the persona. Unfortunately I can also see how it wouldn't be of any interest to the LADbible crowd which are all over his painful headshot compilations.

Depends on the person, I certainly couldn't - the same applies to a lot of people. The main perk I'm left with is if I damage something externally (say the upper receiver), then even someone with my basic level of tech skill could order just that part. Anyway, as I say knowing what I do now, I would have gone about things a different way.

As someone who used to defend Novritsch products, usually against the people who claimed "It's massively overpriced, because you can make the same for less yourself"....I just can't with their RIF's anymore. I mean fair enough I did want it upgraded beyond the "pre-upgraded out of the box" level, but that was mainly because it was overheating quickly (changed motor and MOSFET). Then the gearbox cracked. Anyway, my SSR4 is the one shown in the first 50 seconds of this video....

You wouldn't put a RMR on top of the iron sight like that, so I'm going to say it's just part of the design (some kind of pin going through to keep it together etc). Surely you would just put the red dot on the top rail?

@emilianoksa - I recently replaced my G19 Gen.3 spring with the one from this set (yes, after stretching during re-assembly), so can confirm they do indeed use the same springs for all three of their most recent models (G19 Gen.3, G19 Gen.4 & G17 Gen.4). I will add though, the only "downside" is the trigger pull will be slightly heavier than with the stock Marui spring. However as TM's is so light, you may consider that a good thing (a bit more realistic).

You really can't improve the performance, other than perhaps different hop rubber and inner barrel. A stronger spring will reduce gas efficiency and a metal slide will do the same plus make the slide cycle slower. TM know how to make a pistol, if you start messing with the balance of that, you'll end up regretting it.

The spring is the same for both the Gen.3 19 and Gen.4 17. If you REALLY need another one, they can be purchased from Fire Support as part of the full spring set (linked below). https://www.fire-support.co.uk/product/guarder-frame-spring-set-for-marui-g17-gen4

Wanna buy my car? It works perfectly....just not as a means of transport.

I'm really confused by this statement: "It works however it doesn't function at all"

A bit long-winded for an April fools and it reads like the English came through Google translate. Nice pics though 4/10.
