Alimcd

Just the one

I’ve sold as many guns as I’ve bought. Collection has been fine-tuned to what actually suits my style Gone is a bit of a mish mash. In is a very Ali-focused collection of DMR, rifles, SMG and pistols oh and this

With my wallet well and truly battered, here are the fruits of my labour. The Novristch is now sporting an Airsoft masterpiece Mega lightweight slide, short stroke kit and side mounted RMR. It’s quick, very quick The Limcat has been a bit of fun and is a scratchbuild. Both are finished in tungsten grey accents with grey Airsoft masterpiece slides Just to add, I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. I’ve felt lucky to have not only the incredible knowledge base of you toxic bastards at my disposal, but also the frank and impartial advice of Mike (http://www.eliteshootingcentre.co.uk)and Kyle (https://hicapahub.co.uk) neither of whom mince words or stock anything they wouldn’t use in a build. Better see if anything is on the way for the Battlecat 4.3 that I’m making next...

Parts back from FMJUK, I think I can finally call these two HiCapas finished!

TOXIC!!! (are we still doing this?)

But now when you come to sell, it's had two custom paintjobs. One at Patrolbase and one out back here with a can of Krylon. God knows how many "airsmiths" have been involved now. £500?

It’s about bloody time. Finmere’s own Kurgen look-a-like has finally joined the boards

I feel like “Toxic” has become the go to word for a generation who don’t know how to handle criticism or confrontation nor have they developed the interpersonal skills to simply hold a differing opinion on a matter without feeling the need to “out” the other party as wrong. I for one am offended and demand this is stopped now. Macks is part of the rich cultural tapestry of AFUK and this thinly veiled attack is no less than an assault on an institution

They’re a pretty discriminatory lot. My AK identifies as an M4 and someone on this thread threatened to burn me as a witch. Might need thicker skin for this place

Receiver and bolt with engraver. Should have it back next week with Winchester trades!

Whenever it ends up being, I’m still very much looking forwards to meeting you all, and shooting at you Is there going to be a mandatory 2m minimum engagement or do melee kills count, but potentially do damage over time

Shout out to Kyle at Hi-Capa hub. He's been beyond helpful with my new search for 4.3 parts. We're a bit spoilt now, what with Mike at Elite and Kyle at Hub both being super helpful and incredibly knowledgeable when it comes to tweaky high-end Hi-Capa stuff

Have you tried running an M4 stock on it? Plenty of battery space? Back on track.you should be fine with the 11.1, but as with any other gun you’ll be increasing the risk of failure purely by increasing the amount of cycles. Going back to my first post, if you change out the bearings and make sure the cylinder isn’t going to damage the O-rings, reliability shouldn’t be too much of a concern

They’ve emailed me to explain that there is a temporary suspension of services to the UK via Hong Kong post so they can’t dispatch orders Fingers crossed it’s rescinded soon

FINALLY, going to see the engraver on Tuesday before work. Work’s been total chaos so pretty much everything has been put on hold for a while. I think the engraver is quite excited too. In 32 years he’s not been asked to do anything similar

I’m not sure if that’s better or worse than the blanket “no, fuck you” that some EU sites seem to be using for UK orders...

...bought more stuff, haven’t I? From an initial goal of rebuilding a SSP1 that had started to fall to bits Ive now put in the orders to put together a fourth. So, I saw a preorder for the Airsoft Masterpiece Battlecat 4.3 and now I’ve got all the bits for a black and gold Battlecat ordered. EXCEPT 4.3 rear sight. Where the fudge do you buy a 4.3 rear sight?

New slide in place, needs a bit of use to get it running as smoothly as I would like it to. Overall, it’s glitzy enough and seems to be chronoing fine at 330fps on Red gas. FPS drops rapidly after a few shots but it’s 4* outside and my bench is right next to a draughty fire escape. Front sight needs glueing and the magwells still aren’t here..

Although I’m growing less fond of that Begadi Alu slide, it’s not to blame. The RMR mount’s only fixture point was the screw into the bbu. Aside that, it just rests on the slide. I’ve got a 3D printed one from elite that has the same tabs that the standard rear sights use as well as the screw and it stayed in place fine. Just a shame it was fuck ugly... Either way, the RMR+mount adds around 50g to the weight of the slide, so I think I’m going to stick to the side mount option. Should have an Airsoft Masterpiece Mega slide tomorrow to slap on there too

That S Hop argument has made my day

If anyone is wondering what happened to the rear sight RMR mount, the inertia of the effing thing caused it to tear the thread out of the BBU! Quite exciting watching it fly past my head though... hence the switch to side mount

Good point, I just wanted to make sure I had an order in. I’ve also currently got a Mega Slide and some AIP sights on an order that’s on hold with R8 until we become less of a Heath risk. I wonder which will turn up first!

Check out HiCapaHub.co.uk, Kyles got a preorder up. I’ve snapped up a gold one. Who knows when they’ll get here though...
