im not sure if this has been posted elsewhere on the forum, but i thought i would add it here. i was at RIFT airsofts "shift your rifts" event yesterday (not playing, but visiting the car boot and trade stands). while i was there i met and got talking to Mike from pewhubTV. during the course of our conversation he revealed that there are a couple of games being organised in ollies memory, with all profits from the days being donated to charity. i mentioned to him about this thread, and the love the community has for ollie. as mike mentioned that he isnt on this forum, i said that i would share the game dates and locations (with his blessing) to help spread the word. the first game is on Saturday 7th June at Spartan airsoft in Bristol, the second will be at C3 tactical in Monmouth on 13th July. both can be booked via the respective booking sites. mike also informed me that if you contact him through pewhub or the "airsoft says fk cancer" FB page and ask for it, he will provide a link so people can also book on for saturday 12th July to arrive at C3 and camp overnight for a pre-game social. mike has said the social is open to everyone, and if anyone books on, the link is free to be posted for all to see. i have not yet messaged to ask for the link, as i need to get holiday approval from my boss to have the time off for the event at C3, but i fully intend on going, and i hope to meet several of you there

yeah, i dont want to just rip things apart and break something by accident i might give that a try, but issue of anything under the paddles is keeping it fixed there with constant mags in and out not at home currently, so cant look, but IIRC there is only a small amount of the reciever under the top of the paddles, while the bottom part is exposed and could get caught if a mag is inserted/pulled out too quick... i will have a closer look once im home tomorrow or monday

that is the issue im having. the mag release paddles (circled in red in pic, and one on each side of the RIF) are the issue, and appear to be extensions which operate a recessed mag release button (in green, only on right side), so im wondering if the paddles can be removed without affecting the mag release button... or if i will have to figure out some thing else. while i appreciate the link, given the size and location of the paddles, im not sure it will be possible to mod the file enough, but i will ask my brother who has a 3d printer

hoping for a bit of tech advice from the hivemind. i have a G&G ESB-10 gas shotgun i recently bought. i want to be able to run this as a backup gun for CQB areas, but i have run into an issue. if i sling the gun on my back, then before i can run more than three steps, the mag release paddles hit on my rig and i drop the mag, as you can imagine, this is SUPER annoying, and im wondering if theres any way to remove the paddles without wrecking the rest of the mag release mechanism. looking at it, it seems possible, but i dont really want to risk taking it apart without doing research first and asking if anyone has experience modding the gun this way, or if anyone has any other suggestions for ways to "fence" the paddles to prevent dropping mags mid game

My go to for energy drinks is Monster Bad Apple.

I have the same adapters, but I have been unable to find a thread tap that can cut a thread while also working around the puncture pin, as I don't see any way to remove it. I would very much like to find a way to cut a 1/2"UNF thread so I can use 66g cartridges. I have a contact that can supply "expired" cartridges from overhauled lifejackets

so, i have been neglecting to post updates for the past few months, so i will blast them all in one post.... i bought a laylax thread adapter to fit on my KWA beretta M93r from firesupport. (thank you @strykerles for the link). only downside is the threads are 14mm clockwise, and tracers are 14mm counter clockwise threads, but i was able to make an acetech fit through brute force XD then i bought the Umarex walther PPK and 2 spare mags from landwarrior and a Crusader silencer form airsoftworld to go with it along with it. currently trying to figure out a way to mount a tracer in the silencer without the inner barrel poking through and preventing tracer working (and without taking a hacksaw to it so i can use it without tracer at a later date if i choose) had to buy a new gun at AI500 in Flambards after i took a tumble and managed to snap my KWA Skorpion in two... so i bought the KWA Mac11 with spare mags... and it was the only gun i had with me at the event that didnt malfunction constantly.=/ i also bought a G&G ESG10 from my local surplus shop (who also sells some airsoft gear) for use at AI500, expecting more close quarters battles than i actually encountered, so it didnt get a lot of use.. plus i found the mag release is way too sensitive. whenever i had it slung on my back as a backup, it would constantly drop the mag, so it was mostly left at respawn to be used as needed, but i ended up just running the mac 11 all weekend after getting home from AI500, i bought a new reciever for the Skorpion from BZtactical, and have swapped the internals from the broken Skorpion, but now it needs fettling as i cant get the trigger to reset, and the valve knocker is sticky, so it wont fire at the moment =/ a shame, as i loved the little Skorp... evil little beastie deciding i wanted to display my guns, and consign many of the boxes to the loft, i bought a bunch of hookwall panels, brackets and hooks, which my brother and i mounted on the wall in my living room over the bank holiday weekend. need to order some different sized hooks and get another wall mount brracket as somehow had one missed out of my order, but they have been helpful when i contacted them. all bought from unishop.co.uk finally, i bought a WE Apache A5 from onlyairsoft along with a claw mount and 6 spare mags. to complete it, i bough a cheap red dot scope from Amazon and then a collapsible stock from KYairsoft which arrived today. hoping to run this tomorrow for the first time no pics at the moment as i cannot crop them down to meet the forum file size limits, and fed up of hosting the images from discord, only for them to stop working after a couple of days...

I got a replacement CO2 line from VFC direct. Line burst at last AI500, so I emailed VFC with pics and they sent one for free as a warranty item. Not sure if you can get just the block on its own, but if you email VFC they should be able to assist

thank you for that link, i will order one to see if it fits. thank you for those measurements. im going to try the part strykerles linked above, as if it fits, it should be more stable than the part from evike, but if it doesnt work, and the measurements of the 93 are similar to what you have provided, i will get the evike part and bite the bullet (or BB) on the customs fees

im hoping someone can help me here. i have a KWA beretta 93r, and i am looking to mount a tracer unit on the barrel for CQB. i have seen this adapter by laylax designed to clamp over the end of a non threaded M9 barrel and provide a thread to attach tracer units ( https://www.evike.com/products/91866/ ) i was wondering what the outer diameter of a non threaded M9 barrel is, and whether this adapter could be used on the m93r. while i have a set of verniers and can measure the outer barrel on my m93r, i do not have an m9 (threaded or otherwise) that i can take a measurement from, and as the only place so far i have seen this adapter advertised is on evike, and i cant find any measurements online, i dont want to risk buying the adapter and paying customs duty etc for a part that wont fit, so i would appreciate an accurate measurement that i can compare to my m93r. alternatively, if anyone has a uk source fot the adapter, or an alternative option for mounting a tracer (other than cutting threads into the m93 barrel) i would be open to suggestions. thank you in advance for any assistance you could provide

Basically a moscart launcher with a tracer unit on it Wish file size limits were greater, then I could send a clip or two from my gopro

Bought a few things the past couple of months, but been neglecting to post them here... Back in November, I bought an acetech volcano and a trio of acehive moscarts with spawner speed loader... then didn't get a chance to play until last weekend... got a few good kills and a lot of "what the fuck was that?!" December just had some boring restock orders... bbs and gas Then last month I spent some of my Christmas money on a Begadi M1 mine and motion sensor unit, along with some spares in case it gets damaged in use (but having got my hands in it physically, I'm not so sure that's actually going to happen) Finally this week from land warrior, I bought some triple mp5 mag pouches, intending to use them for my kriss vector mags, but found they are too small... fortunately I'm planning on getting an MP5 down the line, so they won't be wasted. Also bought a laylax recoil adjuster for the GBB vector, but last weekend I found the gun was misfeeding, so I need to sort that first before I begin modding it

Didn't I see somewhere that this citadel site is only going to be one or two small buildings off to the side of the site? I was at citadel for the AI500 and we had the entire site, but we were told it would be closing down to become a data farm.... or has that changed? But if they have the whole site, i would love to play there again with slightly lower numbers... and a cap on pyro-per-respawn... but may be a bit far for me

Ordered a pair of those adapters, so hopefully I can make use of them, even if I can only use one, it will be better than jaffa taping around the mag to hold the CO2 in place. Also contacted VFC, and they are going to send a replacement hose for free, so that should be on the way this week along with the box mag mount and screws I have ordered as well

Can't really add much more to this. I had the hose on my CO2 box mag fail, but I contacted VFC and they are shipping a replacement hose to me One possible solution to the cool down problem with the green gas tank is to get some small, single use hand warmers and place one or two around the tank to help heat it up.
