  1. Thank you. Trying to tonfindnthe outerbarrel has been pain and I didn't want to order the wrong thing.
  2. Just to make sure I'm not going nuts and I'm about to order the correct part, the part circled in red.... TR16 SBR 308 MKII GJQ-A03-2 Yes or no?
  3. I love night games, they are the best. Over the years I've never had the funds to have a set of nvgs, they are lottery win prezzie, but a few tips I found and things I've tried I'll pop below. Move less and listen more. Your eyes only really work in one direction, ears work 360°. Trim your kit, make sure you've got thing clipped where possible over velcro, it's really noisy when everything is quiet. Red light filters, white light hampers you night eyes while red light effects it much much less and is less noticed by some nvg units. I use a filter on a leash so it can be knocked off if need. Have fun.
  4. I'm sure I got mine from airsoft world.
  5. I've manage to ruin a fair few lipos but not playing airsoft. Fpv quads have been the choice for lipo killing, crashes and flat-out abuse but inside the house they get treated with respect because I have seen the flames first hand; storage charged, main draw lead capped and put into ammo tin, with the seal removed so they don't turn into a pressure vessel if the worst should happen.
  6. First game back after a knee reconstruction and also my first game of 2021, felt good to be out and about again. An open day at anzio with first and only. Good day, nicely run; some slight longer breaks for the less fit, and from what I saw some solid marshaling (taking no bull and following up on the site rules and even ejecting where needed).
  7. I've had a look at the mtw and they would fit the bill, as most stop n empty have proprietary mags, but the only thing putting me off is that it's 5.56.
  8. The other thing you could look at is the pts epgc. I think the c is foe compact and it's a steeper angle than most m4 grips. I run one and it does feel more like my mp9 than other m4 grips, much more vertical.
  9. I'm hard on kit and have both plate carriers and chest rigs. I started out with the cheaper types and quickly found them lacking in comfort and structure. I got to try some warrior kit and from that point on I've favored quality kit for; its structure to carry weight, keep cool and take the abuse. As for style it's personal choice but see if a few folk will let you try bits of kit on, get a feel for what you might like.
  10. Evening all. I'm rowing with the idea if going hpa but having come from mostly gas powered rifs I want to retain the stop on empty feature common to gas rifs and found in some aeg. Is there a drop in system that can have this feature by either piggy backing on an aegs electric stop function of a control system that has it? I'm thinking along the lines of the mtw but with being held to 5.56 styles.
  11. I think it depends on the power output of the connection and the cable you use, not all usb ports are made equal. What you have the headset playing and how you set it up will also make a difference. I run mine wireless off the router and I've been able to squeeze in a coupe of hours of alyx on a lunch time and still have just over 50% left.
  12. Afternoon all, I'm.wondering if anyone else has thought of or does strap cases together when transporting rifs. I using 3 cases at the moment, only one has wheels and I'd like to be able to connect all three together so they can be moved as one or if its only a pair, use a shoulder strap. Luggage straps occurred but the cases are hard and slide along each other so something more akin to a guitar backpack strap but with the backpack it. Anybody got any idea as to what I'm on about?
  13. If you have had it working in the past and now there are issues I'd suggest they might have died. If however it's a bed item/first time use issue it might be a mono connection at the ptt and you've got a stereo connection in the headset. I had a similar issue recently and changing the onnetion type to a mono lead sorted it right out.
  14. Try etsy etc. For stuff like this.... https://www.etsy.com/uk/listing/1085053956/top-secret-ufo-now-declassified-files?ga_order=most_relevant&ga_search_type=all&ga_view_type=gallery&ga_search_query=top+secret+files&ref=sc_gallery-1-1&plkey=f0081eedbdb69bdf90f8df9a47e996f54e685382%3A1085053956 or just make it up.
  15. Rumor that hobbyking is shutting the uk warehouse seems to true and they have some heavy discounts on batteries and other stuff at the moment. Also WE Katana variants are all sub £100, not sure if they are UK stock though.
  16. Looking at the picture I'd suggest cutting a groove into it and using a flat screw driver. If that doesnt work then you have enough head left to try the larger torx bit wedged in it.
  17. Flat hop rubbers are fairly normal but usually they would be paired with an appropriate nub. It may be possible that during production one was bagged wrongly or there was a flaw in the molding.
  18. It's not armour works, I know them, these are tagged A.W.E. and I can only find them on airsoft world website. I'm starting to think that they are a rebrand/dealer own kind of thing.
  19. @SkaratSkara this is something. I've not found but I don't have a hi cappa and up until yesterday I'd only run m&p and baretta pistols. Thank you for the advice. Another question. Are A.w.e magazines any good? I hadn't seen the name before and the are tagged with being for the aap but I hesitated as I don't know them.
  20. Afternoon all, I've joined the app-01 club, couldn't resist 20% off. First test shot and its lifting .3g nicely. Now I need some mags and such to make it game ready. As I understand stand, after reading the thread, it's WE g18 mags for best results and I have a question you lovely folks might be able to answer, regarding holsters. I've just tried it in my warrior holster which takes almost everything but the enlarged mag release sometimes catches the holster release, making the magaine come loose. How thick is the stock magazine release? Iis there enough meat there to dremel off the top and stipple the release?
  21. First and only have sites in Wigan and Bury.
  22. The parts to make up that harness are dirt cheap and it's easy to do if you have a solder iron. If you don't fancy that you should be able to buy an off the shelf 2s parallel board which will work to. I've made a few different sets for using different batteries a rifs and still matching my charger, personally I prefer xt connectors over deans, I found they handle weather better.
  23. I fitted the xcortech pistol tracer inside a suppressor, removed the first few sections of foam to make space. Centralise by either an outer brace (3d print a sleeve or oring and heat shrink) or an internal thread extention.
  24. Kinetic on a paracord strap which I wear for work has become my airsoft watch. Its been great for getting messed up and then cleaned up.
  25. Lipo Storage, I use an ammo tin with the rubber removed. Works well as it clamps shut but if anything we're to go pop it doesn't become a potential pressure pot.
