Yeah definitely, I'm a big fan of the TM recoils, I've invested a lot into the platform so at this point I don't look too closely at alternatives anymore.
Solid and dependable guns, what more do you need
Yeah that's not normal, would explain a significant shooting problem as so much of the air would be escaping out of there, rather than through the tip and into the hop/barrel
If you mean on the thinner part of the nozzle then no, if you mean two either side of it on the flat part of the front of the bolt that don't go all the way through then they're to help remove it
Chuck a photo up if you can 👍
They're great just very tight around the hop rubber so a bit of a pain to swap them - definitely don't let it put you off them at all, it's not an issue just a bit harder to get in than most units
Picked up a few bits today
4 pistol mag pouches
8 CR123 batteries
Red dot for my mp5
Silicone oil
And a little pistol light for an evening game on Thursday
You need to get an armourer's wrench and remove your current barrel nut and delta ring.
Start by unscrewing the 6/8 screws on the rear of the new rail and you'll get the end part come free.
Put that end 'cap' onto the rifle and then screw down the new rail's barrel nut to clamp down the cap, then attach the main rail and do up the screws to keep it all together.
Hope that helps, if you're still having issues let me know and I'll take off and reinstall my DD rail clone that it's based on on Sunday and take photos to make it clearer
Doing a bit of cleaning and maintenance and thought I get a quick photo in
Really want to get hold of a couple of Guarder frames for them, a bit less shiny, and a tan mag release for the black lower.
