Any idea where I can fine spare parts for my King Arms 556? The blowback handle broke off last game day and I can’t seem to source one, only in America by the looks of it.

So what spring manufacturer shall I go for? Been looking at Prometheus as they seem to be good quality from the reviews but they are called SP100 etc... will they fit my gun?

My old King Arms 556 shorty, needs some trick bits but does the job so far 😊

I’ve got a King Arms 556 shorty that’s firing at 380fps, which is obviously too hot, which spring would I need to buy to bring it to the bottom side of 350fps? If I bought the spring would it be a job I could do myself? (Sorry I don’t know how to get red writing on iPhone)

Cheers for all the advice fellas. we played our first game Sunday at HQ Driffield. Excellent day and booked on for the next game in two weeks. Other players were all spot on, got lost a few times & ar kid fell over a tree stump on full sprint and landed barrel first into a doorway but other than that is was mint 😂 Scouting the internet for new kit now!

Anybody come across any discount codes for HQ Driffield walk on tickets??

Well thanks for the bad news 😂 I meant 350-355 FPS. charger can go in the bin if that’s the case, waste of £21. His M4 was £190 but the guy at urban said it was a decent starter weapon, I guess we will have to see how it goes. I’ve gone with half mesh/fabric mask, pyramex I-force glasses and beanie hat. Not going to bother with the tactical stuff yet. thanks for the advice.

A couple more questions, new player don’t forget 👍🏻 what weight BBs are good all rounders? also what speed loader do I need to load Sig Arms M4 magazines? Or do they all do the same job? thanks.

@Rogerborg had the gun chrono’d yesterday, 250-255fps which is gooood. Brother bought a Nuprol sofmod M4 in two tone to get him going. Picked up a few bits and bobs, batteries etc. Just looking at getting some pyramex glasses but not sure on the face protection, mesh stuff looks uncomfortable tbh but cheap enough. Is a helmet a must have? Or will a beanie hat do the job? One thing though, when I charged my batteries last night the balance charger was making a real high pitched noise and only took half an hour to charge Lipo, is that normal? Cheers fellers.

@PT247 thanks 👍🏻

Is there a noticeable difference between 1200mah and 1450mah Lipo’s?

Thanks dusix. Rogerborg, it was given to me last year and has been sat in the shed ever since, I’m going to take it to urban Airsoft on Saturday and have it chrono tested, section 5 firearm!? I hope they don’t take it from me if it is over 350fps! Is it easy to tone them down?

Thank you for the replies and I’ll check out your channel Gamble. I’ll take all this on board. I’ve set a budget of £300-£400 for everything so I’m hoping that will cover all bases, I’ve been on patrolbase website and I definitely want to hold out for a full black rifle not two tone, I do have an Airsoft RIF that was given to me by a workmate, it’s some kind of M4 but I can’t find the exact gun on a website, I’m struggling to identify it to buy batteries etc.. I’ll try to attach pictures. Has anybody had any experience at HQ Driffield? Me and my younger brother are absolutely set on getting into Airsoft, we are late twenties and need a hobby that isn’t work related! Worst case scenario is it worth me using the rifle I have and my younger brother buying an second hand RIF? Or does it not work like that? again, all replies are appreciated.

Hello people, this is my first post. I’m looking for some advice on getting into Airsoft, I’m in North Yorkshire so my nearest place is HQ Airsoft in Driffield, What kind of guns/kit will I need to start out? Face mask etc.. I’ve phoned them today but due to COVID they are not doing gun rental at the moment and that poses a problem as I’m told you have to play 3 games to be able to buy an RIF legally. Any advice would be appreciated!
