  1. Thanks
    concretesnail got a reaction from Rogerborg in AEP coiled cable lipo conversion Amp rating   
    A pistol lanyard would be a better option that a spiral cable. You can do it in a paracord sleeve with a core to prevent snagging and yanking on the cable.
     
    I've done a few for lights, switches and some that include a step down for running 4s lipos in 2s systems (fpv goggles)
    Have a good silicon shield cable slightly longer than the paracord outer, I use 550, then feed the cable as a fine paracord through the middle. Once the all threaded through melt the paracords together and add a little heat shrink. Then its just soldering the wiring together.  And the battery goes in a pocket/pouch next to the lanyard fix point.

    It could be that the ptt output is mono and the adapter is stereo. The mismatch means very low volume. I had it when I connected my sporttacs to a baofeng fist mic using a stereo cable connection. Once I changed it to a mono cable connection all was resolved.

    I've seen the rules in the past and in the end I just didn't play those sites.
    It seems stupid idea in my opinion.
    Hpa has tournament lockable regulators etc, just require those. As for co2 being over anything has the potential to be over if you adjust/build/modify it that way.
    I have a co2 m9 I've used for winter and have done for years simply as it's much better at dealing with the cold than my green gas pistols at the time.
    All I'd have suggested is that you contact them and ask for clarification and then vote with your feet/wallet one way or the other. Not all site owners/operators are the sharpest of tools or brightest of lights.

    Another vote for a name tag. I have mine on the back of carrier. Easy to see if youre looking at my back and it's short, easy to yell.

    Another vote for the 5r, I used mine with the standard and fist mic and ear piece for a while then swapped out the ear piece for my sporttac ear Pro. I don't have the boom mic as I'm not a fan of them in general use as I always seem to get them hooked on things.

    It'll be the bbs causing it, the cheap bbs are usually poor. Stick to better quality bbs and you'll have fewer issues I'm sure.
    Good good getting everything cleared.

    Liking the shottie holster!

    Finally with Christmas play time managed to finish what I’m calling an AK105-VSU.
     
    Tried and hopefully succeeded in painting it in such a way it works with both the GZ and RG load outs 🤞

    So I found a crack in the upper receiver of my G&G Predator. 
    New upper fitted and now rocking a sort of two tone black upper and rail, with worn camo lower and stock. Quite like it

    Start with your ht leads, give them a once over with some wd40 or other moisture displacement compound. If the outers start to break down then they become susceptible to higher resistance due to moisture.

    You can't have both really. The hybrid replaces trigger contacts and uses optical and magnetic switches. The etu++ has all the same settings/features, bar trigger depth and sensitivity, but as it uses the g&g electronic trigger unit you retain the stop on empty, have a much easier fitting (just plug it in to the g&g loom) and it's two thirds of the price.

    All good then, carry on. It might be worth trying the stock motor, it's not bad and I'd swap the stock mosfet for the perun etu++ unit.
    More setting adjustment and more robust.

    Check your inner barrel length, so you don't go longer than stock, as the cylinder is ported and the gears are short stroked to match.

    concretesnail got a reaction from Paul72 in UPDATE: Thieving Toe Rag Buyers trying to do the old disk switcheroo!   
    Asomodai, have you tried using a uv security mark. Something we used to do when selling high value items was to place a UV security mark on the disk.
    And something I do when selling vinyl is to close up image all of the pressing numbers so disc switching is extremely difficult to do.
     
    Beyond that I'm glad you got at least a better result than I'd have through likely with the state of ebay of late.
