    I'm sure I've got some coloured and shaped shims. It was a three size pack with one size silver and one bronze and the third size was octagonal shape. It was really useful being able to tell the apart, so I'd be up for more sizes which can be differentiated.

    I use a couple of setups for ear pro and coms. Ear pro is very important to me so don't skimp on that part. I've a pair of sporttacs that I use for work and with the down lead connected to my phone for audio. Then for airsoft use I have 5ur with fist mic ptt and then the down lead connects to the ptt for the audio output. That way I get the ear pro I want and simple but effective radio setup. 
    The second setup I have is a racal frontier. It'll functions well but did need a specific ptt to work with the 5ur radio. The racal setup I wear only for airsoft it's much more slimline on the head but a bit more complex to rig up initially.

    If you can solder you could swap the connector on the battery and keep the adaptor for charging of you need to. 
    If you were near me I'd give you a hand doing it I've had to change so many connectors of late it's my mist common soldering task.

    The double feed on semi sounds like the cycle is over running. See if it does it on a 2s pack. 
    What model mosfet is fitted?

    A well tuned aeg will work just as well as a hpa setup for semi, as they should be imparting the same amount of energy into the small balls we play with. 
    Unless you are specifically after wanker gun rates of fire or play at sites with differences in limit which would mean constant changing of springs, when turning down a reg is easier, there isn't much to gain. 
    Cost wise if you sent you rif to a solid tech, negative airsoft say, you could have the performance you want for no more than the parts of the hpa build cost.
     
    If you do go hpa then regards the line, when I've used hpa setups I used molle mounted single point slings and then ran the line looped or sleeved with it. Just give yourself enough slack in it so that it doesn't interfer with griping the rif. With the line sleeved it didn't catch on anything i wasn't going rhe catch the sling on anyway.

    I've been using geoffs .3 tracers and found them very good. Outdoor and tactical is where I usually find them. The website is a bit jankie but get the filter to just display tracers and pop up.

    True 
     
    At a skirmish day I'd agree that they aren't really worth it, where events and sims generally have a more experienced playerbase.

    First I'd suggest not buying anything until you know what the issues is. There may be nothing wrong with the stock parts, and if there are, and its was purchased new from patrolbase then they should be giving you a new one. 
     
    Alternatively 
     
    Check the seal on the compression parts. If its good then move to the hop up unit and nozzle mating. 
    If all is consistent then look to the spring. 
    Once all above have done then the Perun to add functionality. 
     
    It could be something as simple as new oring.

    If you aren't ready to buy mags yet the pouring things are a useful idea, but the fixed size also means they'll rattle a bit. If you use a small elastic sock that will contract as you empty it you won't get the rattle. 
    I only use midcaps bit have made up a container for sim games and long games where I'm likely to need to reload before having to go back to spawn/hq for resupply.
     
    Small sock, neck of a plastic bottle, and a couple of cable ties and you're good to make your own.

    I didn't know of the site until this post, so thank you for that. I do love some cqb in non warehouse environments. However in the rules it mentions all gun that have semi and can meet the fps rules are OK, but same page states they allow binary triggers with 2rnds per trigger pull, which isn't semi in my mind. 
    A pinch of salt maybe....

    You're not wrong. Playing the now gone bravo site in Birmingham, I took a trmr to the head. Someone threw it over a bar top surface as they came into the pub area and I was down behind it reloading.

    Need to dust off my 3D printer - but my next project is a super-minimalist fixed battery stock for G&G receivers (ARP9 Etc).
     
    Designed to hold at least a 2200mAh 11.1v LiPo - some smaller 3000mAh packs should also fit.
     
    Length is around the same as stubby length M16 fixed stocks - good for the speedybois and/or smaller statures.
