Haha, that gun has been an interesting experiment and I don’t think I’ll ever sell it as I’d never recoup a quarter of what went into it! It taught me a lot of important lessons in what parts are worth spending on and what aren’t. You might find it interesting that it started as a Specna Edge, but from that fateful batch that had nothing but issues. When the gearbox shell failed it started a slippery slope of upgraditis

Cheers dude! The Chrome Noveske amplifier was a total shite to find but it makes a hell of a difference to the sound signature of the rifle. It’s set to safe/semi/3rd and makes a hell of a noise doing burst fire! I have nicknamed it Bert.

Hey @DRay thought this might be useful regarding the warrior. None of the photos online seem to show the actual gubbins. In photo one you can see the retainer that grabs the trigger guard. I’ve stuck a little video on there too to show it’s pretty secure IMG_8270.MOV

I paid off my student loan/unsecured debts by selling a collection of Transformers I had become afraid to touch. (And of course put a little into Airsoft, here and there...) I was staggered that one toy, on its own sold for £450. I’ve also made some impulse purchases that I regret. I picked up an A&K MK46. While awesome, it just wasn’t for me. It’s found a new owner on this forum who is of the appropriate build for an LMG! Aside that, most of the regrets have been from poorly informed purchases rather than impulse. Definitely staying away from Guarder from now on

I completely understand. I had a proper life laundry last year and sold off a collection of stuff from a hobby that had lost its lustre (toxic community, massive price hikes). The money and the space saved was a real eye opener. This? Well, this has been retail therapy. I’m embroiled in the most protracted house move ever. Sadly my buyer chose to use BoBo the clown as conveyancer and they’ve managed to delay each and every step of the way. Treating myself to daft bits of pistol has been keeping me sane!

I’ve recently picked up one of those warrior ones. There’s a locking mechanism with a thumb paddle that locks pretty securely. There are a couple of differently shaped inserts included to match the shape of the pistol’s trigger guard. I’ve tried jumping up and down with a ‘capa in place and haven’t caught it out yet.

He’s not had slide and frame sets in for months. Frankly, you’d be mad NOT to buy one... The two tone set looks amazing in my humble opinion. I’m going full Mayo with my Infinity build. Black with silver barrel and black controls. Frame is just getting a lick of Cerakote this week so it shouldn’t be long before it’s finished

Just looking at your (admittedly sexy) Hi-Capa again, not tempted by the Limcat hammer set?

Elite's website does leave something to be desired, but Mike is also a total legend and also seems happy to talk through troubleshooting on the phone. For that reason, he's also earned his pound of flesh from me! Finally fixed those bloody Guarder mags. the Feedlips are narrower than the mag bodies by a hair, so every now and again they BB's would catch the ridge and get stuck. Gentle filing to flare the feedlip and they're behaving now. Certainly haven't come this far to have intermittent feeding issues! Just hope no more of them randomly explode

Instead of imposing a limit on all sites, would it not be easier to impose a limit on Siggi and KM? Everyone agree on 0?

Good retailers deserve praise Kyle at HiCapaHub runs a super tight ship and everyone here should through some money his way. even if you don’t own a Hicapa

Sometimes I have to do a proper job. Fretting a bit about a cinema/PA quote this week. Done a bit of work for the client in the past but only a simple 2 channel based around a Michel Gyrodec (lovely thing) This time around it’s automation and AV. Two things that love to go wrong at the drop of a hat in an area where he’ll be hosting dozens of people once the world unfucks itself. Very much a first world problem

This. This is the dream. Thats a bugger about doing something for a living taking the enjoyment out of it. Good luck for when either we’re all vaccinated or everyone susceptible has died. I feel it’s going to be one or the other Me on the other hand, well, this is work for me... Done my dispatches, written my blog, posted my social media. Now I’m listening to KC and the Sunshine Band on a £60k - £70k Hi-Fi Tough life

Ignoring the fact you’ll likely use mid caps anyway in the primary adapter - I think it has to be said out loud that MP5 hicaps are a total cnut to wind. 9mm mags make much more sense but it’s not really about sense with a primary adaptor is it? My “all in” approach to the Hi-capa platform has been that I had 4 different pistols with ten different mags between them. I sold my 226, Makarov and P99 and have doubled down on the Hicapa. Now that I can carry a couple of pistols and only one type of mag it massively simplifies things. also... got bored, bought a tracer. also also, cool job bro! Sounds like someone else that has managed to do their passion as a career!

Got to ask, what’s work then? Regarding the AAP, the only thing stopping me buying one and a Makita drill body kit is my total lack of Glock mags!

Excuse my total ignorance. Is that Warhammer? I used to share a house with an ‘Eavy metal painter and some of the stuff that he would paint was amazing. I was always drawn to the relative simplicity of the 40k Space marine stuff though as I’m a bit of a basic bitch. I’ve got some ink and a brush in my Amazon basket now. Going to have a good look at the Limcat slide on Monday to make the decision. It really pops on your orange. I wonder how it’ll look on grey. Defo going for it when my Battlecat 4.3 Gold arrives. Cant wait to actually field some of these, heaven forbid Taken full advantage of R8 shipping to the UK again. Got a basic SV grip (plastic) on the way for the Infinity build so I can let the CCT grip find a new home. I just can’t get on with the grip tape.

Blimey, it’s been years since I ruined Citadels! Just normal black wash and a fine brush? Might just have to give it a go Any pointers?

Looks sweet! Loving the black and gold! Did you fill in the lettering or are the gold slides like that? I’ll dm you his whatsapp. Says he might have one

And you’re right. It’s super lucky that it’s just the bolt and not the thread in the body of the mag. Otherwise they’d be an even bigger waste of cash! Got a piccie of your “capa” in its current guise?

I don’t know how many he’s got coming in on this shipment, but he’s got a 2011 Adv frame in black for me in the batch of stuff that’s stuck in customs. He’s told me the AM hops are out for a while. Potential production run after CNY fingers crossed for next week for his stuff to be released from Customs Hes a great guy, I hope his house move goes smoothly

oof, explosive update on the Guarder mags... The Baseplate screw insn't made from the strongest stuff. Filling one of the mags, the baseplate blew straight off the magazine body taking the nozzle from the bottle with it! One quick run outside with a quickly depressurizing can of NP4.0 later, it looks like the thread on the bolt completely gave out. Very exciting stuff, very loud bang.

The flesh is weak I was so taken with the Infinity slide/parts bin build that I’ve ordered a black trigger and Infinity magwell from Hicapa hub.

(Looks around the room to check for hamster) They can’t ban both of us

Primary Adaptor?! Careful Hamster follows this thread and I’m already skirting execution for heresy of the highest order.
