Well I'm going round after work tonight, so I'll see what I come back with! 😂 Might be black, might be red, who knows!!

My 4.3 got a bit of an outing on Sunday. Didn't shoot any baddies with it but they had a man set up with an electronic target system there! I did alrite but kept on running out of gas! 🤣 I think I've been spoilt with my MK23 and it's magical ability to fire 5 or 6 mags to a fill! I can see swapping from a primary adapter and PTS mag to normal mags being a learning curve. Can't beat a tactical reload though!

Am I doing it wrong? I've ordered a black one 🤣

Prove it!!!

Let him know my keys are in the Mini's ignition just waiting to come and see him......and his dog!

I've just seen Matt's Facebook competition! The slides look brilliant! I'm definitely getting one. Just sold my AAP Pistol so another 4.3 will be on the cards I think!

Is it just slides or is it going to be a full re-stock? Might save me having to order from Rainbow8!

I do a mix of both when sniping. I am a camping bush wanker though which sounds like a steady number but staying in the same spot / hide for a while takes its toll on my knees and my post op herniated disc. My lower back fatigues really quickly, so peaking corners in CQB environments causes me just as much grief.

There are a few of my friends who won't even change the hop rubber. They have the idea that it should work fine out of the factory and shouldn't have to spend any more money to make it work better. They also moan a lot about people not taking their hits, at 60m, with their totally stock £120 Nuprol M4.

Look mummy, I'm going to be a YouTuber.......or just send videos to my mates of me shooting them!

I'm still yet to use my AAP SMG since I fitted the Airtac TDC. I've got a game on sunday which i was hoping to get a bit of use out of my VSR before switching to my MTW, so could use the AAP SMG as a very loud and agressive sniper sidearm! Will probably fill it with 0.32's as I have plenty of those laying around!

Glad to hear it's working well, or atleast well with WE mags. Bearing wise, I've heard mixed reviews about the use of one from the AAP-01 Facebook group. The bearing is a reasonable fix if you can't get hold of a new hammer I guess. If I remember correctly I did look for a bearing but struggled to find any so had no choice but to fork out nearly half the guns value on a new hammer!

Just compiling a shopping cart at Rainbow8 for my Hi Capa and they have the games in stock there!

It's not a bad job, I'm sure last time I looked, Airsoft World had them on sale at a fair bit less than I paid for mine!

This is why I'm probably going to sell my AAP that's still in its pistol form. I've got my AAP SMG that I love (although didn't use at Gaol because MTW is king) but the pistol I very rarely use. It was bought as a sniper "oh shit" gun when I needed a quicker trigger than the MK23 but since the MTW came along it's been surplus to requirements really.

I just wear my fitbit but like has been mentioned before, I wear it face in to help avoid projectile damage.

I do quite like the holster, however it took me a bit of getting used to as the release lever works the opposite way to the DTD one I use for my MK23!

***Instantly message Kyle and reserves a slide*** 😂😂😂😂 I'll definitely get a 3D printed one as well, because I'll probably get another 4.3!

That's lovely and really isn't helping matter!! Do you reckon that printed slide would cope with an occasional HPA battering? The more I look the more I think a metal.slide might make more sense. Here's a question. I know you almost have a Hi Capa for every day of the week @Steveocee, but is it common for people to build up different slides for different use? LIke a light weight option for skirmishing and a metal slide with all the gubbins for HPA powered CQB?

See, that didn't take long 😂

Names Nicco is worth watching on YouTube. He has an army background and seems to have a lot of experience in CQB. I like the guy but I'm sure someone will be along soon enough to bash him. He's obviously not the only person on YouTube you could watch but from watching his videos I've learnt about pieing corners and swapping from high to low when engaging them baddies. Probably simple stuff but it feels more 2nd nature now I'm actively trying to do it more! I think camp Sparta run training days but I haven't got a clue what that entails and as has been said already, not much point if your rolling solo!

So the damage, crudely hidden under some gorilla tape for now. I was just chucking a few rounds down the garden when ping, I hear something hit the floor. Look down to see my front sight on the deck and a chunk of my slide missing. This probably has something to do with me not know a great deal about hi capa building but and throwing a Waldo recoil spring in. 130% and a plastic slide probably wasn't going to last very long! I've since taken the Waldo spring out and put the stock TM one back in with a few soft short stroke rubbers. I've left the waldo nozzle spring in at the moment. This is 150% I believe. Future plans? I've been waiting very patiently for the Makeit3D printed slide to come out. I know @Steveocee was fortunate enough to test these out! So there will be no bring colours. All black, as close to original looking as possible for that sleeper build! I know the thread protector kind of spoils that a bit but it was a sacrifice I was willing to make for bright shiney green balls!! Build 1 Makeit3D slide AIP 120% Recoil Spring A few waldo short stroke buffers AIP aluminum recoil spring rod AIP aluminum spring guide plug DP or COW COW C01 blowback housing Waldo loading nozzle (150%) Build 2 Guarder Aluminum OPS slide (Essentially a metal copy of the original plastic one) Waldo 130% Recoil Spring A few waldo short stroke buffers AIP aluminum recoil spring rod AIP aluminum spring guide plug Guarder light weight nozzle housing (Apparently the best fit for the slide) Waldo loading nozzle (150%) The above aren't set in stone and any advice is greatly welcomed and appreciated. The pistol comes out as a secondary to my MTW at places like Anzio and Gaol at the moment, but has and will be used as a HPA powered primary at CQB sites like Hells and probably at Gaol when I next go in December. When used on HPA I tried to limit the FPS to 300fps on 0.2's. Also plan to fit my HPA adapter with a Nine ball gas router and was considering a high flow valve as well to help up the FPS but hopefully lower the required PSI........or will I need more PSI to supply the extra air being used? Hopefully it all makes sense. Looking to order a few bits from Rainbow8, I've seen a few bits in the UK here and there but not much. Any thoughts on which build would be better suited to occasional HPA use? Thank you, good night, much love!

Yeah........I fully intended on using my AAP SMG at the Gaol, but my love affair with my MTW continues!!

So a little run down of whats inside and out: Nine ball 6.00 112.5mm / 5" Inner barrel Maple Leaf 50 bucking Standard Tokyo Marui Hop unit Airsoft Masterpiece Hop Wheel Airsoft Masterpiece Hop Arm Maple Leaf I key Removed due to over hopping 0.25's with no hop applied. Will probably try again now the bucking has worn in. Makeit3D Tornado fixed threaded outer barrel Cow Cow thread adapter / protector So the above list was purchased with a two things in mind. Firstly to allow the use of a tracer, hence the threaded outer barrel and secondly to up the FPS slightly. The reason behind wanting an FPS boost was to lower the required PSI to achieve 300fps with my HPA MP5 mag adapter from Primary Airsoft. The additional hop parts were purely because they were cheap and I was taking it to bits anyway. Unfortunately, after some heavy use at Hells CQB site, the stock loading nozzle broke. I think this was partly down to me not making sure i cleared the gun correctly before removing and inserting mags. So a drive out in my classic mini to see Kyle at Hi Capa Hub, I resisted the urge to steal his lovely sausage dog and came home with a CL Project Designs reinforced loading nozzle. I assume they're good because @Steveocee was jealous I had one! This is where I probably should have stopped, but I didn't..... I'll leave it here for now as I need to get some pictures for the next twist, or should I say break! 😭

Hello everyone. I thought I'd chuck together a build thread for my 4.3. Partly in the hope that it'll help someone else but mostly to make @Steveocee's life easier and stop me from pestering him with questions on Instagram! 😂 "It's been fiddled with" would mostly describe the current state of my 4.3. Absolutely stock from the box it was perfect and lovely! Just look at it! However, a CQB site, very local to me opened up and the need for a tracer took over. So to do this I had to get hold of a threaded outer barrel, which offered me the option (I took it) to chuck in a slightly longer 5.1 barrel, new hop rubber, hop wheel, hop arm and I key. To cut a long story short the loading nozzle snapped after not a very long time stock so an upgraded nozzle was sourced. Also ended up with a Waldo return spring, short stroke buffers and nozzle spring. I'll leave it here for now, but it's a start and I've got the tea to cook. Later I will add what issues I've had, how brilliant it is, oh and how it's a bit broken at the moment 😂 A few bits planned to make it less broke and more bettererer! Thanks for reading as always!!
