Got some cool stuff on the way back from the anodisers

Eleven and a bit weeks of back order and Brownells have just sent shipping confirmation of my Samson Manufacturing B-TM! This thread has taken some odd turns. It was meant to be a straightforward journey; buying a battered KC02, slapping it in a wooden Ruger 10/22 stock and tapping the mags. It’s ended up with three completely different builds that range from dinky full auto madness at 1.1J to single action at 2.32 all housed in RS stocks for the Ruger 10/22 that I’ve picked up off Brownells. The beginning of March should be interesting as I’ll have some custom barrels and a Rogueworx underlever kit to fit. I wasn’t expecting to find a platform as customisable as the HiCapa when I opened the box on my first KC02. I’ve got high hopes that that stubby build for Sunday. Even though it’s only sending at 1.1J, it’s got a VSR style TDC hop unit that’ll lift like the MK23. I can hold 5x130 mags of 0.3’s on my chest so I’ll be in full pewpewpew mode. Hopefully accuracy doesn’t just disappear due to full auto, I’ve heard a lot of people complain about the full auto kits before but I’m sure that’ll be due to cool down and condensation from C02 mags. Not a problem for a Sodastream ghostbuster

Stubby, full auto, Rogueworx KC02 ready for Sunday

Stubby, full auto KC02 ready for Sunday

Mines a 3.x but I’ll be having one of the new V4’s when they launch. The unholy marriage of half a gas mag and half a G&G drum mag was to tide me over until I had found a Tanuki. Good time to be a KC owner, my underlever should be ready next month and the big RW restock isn’t far off either. (edit: Underlever isn’t going on this one - just in case anyone thinks I’m even more of a moron than I portray myself)

@sp00n Those Tanuki adaptors make it such a flexible platform. Love it

Hi Hamster, The Hi-Capa mags will work fine even if you go cross brand. The only style to avoid with a 5.1 gun are 3.8 mags as the magazine itself is shorter and will not mate with the mag catch of a 4.3/5.1 grip. Capacity on a Hi-Capa mag will depend upon which baseplate the mag is fitted with. The stubbier 4.3 plate sacrifices a few rounds

Ruger 10/22 is America’s plinkster and the BX25 magazine is incredibly popular I’ve got something brewing with a mate to get some BX25 shells printed that fit over a normal aeg MP5 mid cap so they’ll end up looking like this

Working on something a bit different. Quick question for the hive mind, which is the less ugly option magazine wise? Full auto 1.13j KC02 build

As I’ve got a custom outer barrel being made for this KC and I was really bored, I cut down the stock outer and wrapped it in vinyl. Stubby, full auto build is coming together

@SteveoceeOne of the KC02’s may have taken a slightly wankery turn

Have you enabled AB on the gate? It’s off as default from memory

Google oil flash fill explosion and then trust someone else to maintain a compressor. There have been some pretty gnarly explosions from oil getting into the bottle regulators. I’m just about to buy a dive tank as I’m in the same position as yourself

Tried out Rift Abingdon over the weekend. Amazing site but I’ve never experienced so much poor sportsmanship and god-mode warriors. One chap took one right to the cheek, shook his head and went straight back to returning fire?! A few times, I thought of the amazing words of The head Marshall at my normal site “They’re not cheating, you’re just shit” - so I went to the range to test my gear a few times to make sure I wasnt just missing. Hearing the ring of the steel targets, Im convinced I wasn’t the issue. In the end, I got fed up wasting heavy ammo on people who wouldn’t call hits and played with pistols instead. Oh yeah, a traveller stag do also promised to knock out one of our groups teeth in the car park for throwing pyro. Interesting site, definitely has potential. Bumped into a few familiar faces who play there regularly who’ve assured me they’ve never seen poor sportsmanship like that there before so I’m going to give it another go on the 6th Feb. If anyone else is planning on being there, hit me up! Edit: yes, I’m really quite short

Have a look on YouTube at how sweet that stock’s action is tho. The thing that pushed me over the edge was the name, I’m going to be a low cost cosplay version of Hannibal. Keeping my little fingers crossed that most sights are fine with me running DMR limits even though the real steel gun is 22lr

Can I up the ante a bit? Because I have the impulse control of a 7 year old, I’ve got one of these on the way https://www.brownells.co.uk/B-TM-FOLDING-STOCK-FOR-RUGER-10/22-SAMSON-MANUFACTURING-CORP-B-TM-Folding-Stock-For-Ruger-10-22-Stainless-Stainless-Steel-100047441 It’s called the B-team and I couldn’t resist it. Mine will look a bit like this

So that HPA mags adaptor arrived. It’s only gone and changed my life. Gone is the heavy, cumbersome drum. In are the dinky 65rd aeg MP5 mags. The adaptor is extremely tight fitting in the magwell leading to extremely good consistency, I put about 50 rounds through the chrono on my DMR build and ended up with a deviation of +-3fps! I’ve put the Rogueworx Steel bolt assembly in that gun and the noise it makes it essentially porn. I’ll take some photos today and, if I can work out how, a cheeky video of how loud the DMR build is and how quiet the Sniper

@rocketdogbert Even though I’ve sworn allegiance to the KC02 I desperately want to build a Vector after seeing your builds

Suddenly the 11 MP5 mags I’ve got start to make a bit more sense

I’m very excited. Finally managed to find one of these Tanuki HPA adaptors. Now I’ve just got to patiently wait for it to get here from the states Now comes the magic of just slapping an MP5 mid cap into the KC
