Another chap reviewing the AKM. He's got quite a few videos on his channel....

I hope it’s biodegradable ???

Budget aside, the TM HK 417 was born to be a DMR. Stick in a longer tight bore barrel, change the hop rubber and change the spring and spring guide and voila, 450 FPS. Of course the auto fire must be disabled but that easy to do. Either modify the selector plate as per @Rogerborg above or a Gate Titan. It goes without saying the stock TM gears will go at some point and maybe the bushes too. Essentially it becomes a money pit. But hey you can pop a zit on the nose of a speed softer at 80m.

I was gonna say exactly as you speedy in regard to this. There must be peeps on here who could knock up a 3D printed part?

Is that a TW5?

PMAGS ?? The only question is will they be as good as the Marui mags?

New member who hasn’t READ the rules. Tut Tut Tut ?. Better get Mack’s involved just because of that ???

I thought I had too many at 8, two of which are still in their wrapping unused. ?

That’s a good way of seeing how a lo cap will affect your game. Just to give you some additional perspective, I took the MWS out for a spin on my last outing (woodland) and ended up playing for about 4 hrs with it. I went through about 360 bbs. Probably more than I should have but it was damn good fun. The rest of the day was with the PTW and that’s just entirely a different beast.

Did someone call someone a TM fan boy? How dare you sir ?. Mind you, you all know I am so that goes without saying ??

And half the price!

WE make an exact copy or clone of the AW drum ( or vice versa) and I hazard to guess the internals are the same If not similar. May be worth giving them a shout?

Ahhh I see what you mean now. Have you dropped WA Custom a message on their Facebook group?

Yes… however very unlikely you’ll be able to replace the receiver with a metal one as I can’t see a third party creating one. . Once a TM always a TM no matter what upgrades you do lol

Can it be 3D printed? Out of curiosity do you have a photo of it?

Here’s a place which sells the winding mechanism. Maybe buy a few and we can divvy up the price between ourselves etc? Probably good to have a couple spare right? https://www.kyairsoft.com/aw-drum-magazine-winding-mechanism-module.html

@Urban assasin Yo dude, a thread to talk about your GBLS experience.

Ask admin to change the title of the thread to The official GBLS thread or whatever

Are we still talking about Airsoft here ??? I did that once and came back with a new car. It was the same brand and colour as the old one just more power and more shiny. I was hoping her In doors wouldn’t notice. I kinda got that wrong ??? . Let’s get back to new guns now. Right? ??

I think this may well end up being the official GBLS thread. After all it begins with a review and we all start chiming in ? Myself, I am resisting the temptation. But you know what temptation leads to eventually ?

My mate is slowly selling all his recoils to move fully to the GBLS platform. Like you he’s about to acquire a second one. I believe he has an upgraded bolt in his which of course gives more of a kick.

On reflection I should of thought this through ?

I mostly run 0.28’s in my recoils and my pistols. The MK23 can easily hop 0.4’s but I save them for my DMR. I run 03’s in my MWS and PTW. For the AAP I’ll just run the drum on 0.28’s I guess or even 0.25’s as the expected engagement with the drum setup I expect to be between 30 to 40m.

My advice is to buy new. The reason is that you get the 12 months warranty and believe you me when you consider the price of parts it makes sense. A couple of my mates run GBLS’s and they just love them. One has a gen 1 and the other a gen 2. I’ve used the gen 1 and I confess I like it. The gen 2 I’ll get to play with in a couple of weeks. Grab one from somewhere and have a play. You may find yourself hooked.

In my defence I don’t strictly have ownership of the said item as yet. I’ve paid my mate 50% and the remainder will be next pay day. I’ll of course post a pic next month. In the mean time I need to work on my guns to be able to pick the bloody thing up… to say I’m excited is an understatement. ?
