Macks airsoft dreamers of the week thread
MistakenMexican replied to Mack's topic in General Discussion
Back to this point of this thread ? why buy an EXA brand new when you can buy one second hand (absolutely ragged) for retail. its a bargain though. It’s a great pistol…. That’s the justification for selling at re-fail rates. -
it still boggles my mind that people will buy a Vorsk or Nuprol Hicapa/glock over the Japanese equivalent. Lots of the Vorsk hicapas are a good £10 more than a TM Hicapa government model. yes they don’t look as fancy, but they’ll last much longer.
-
it’s looking promising ? they have no excuses now they’ve done the new glocks, the P320, the pink P90 and the extra hicapas that literally no one was asking for ?
-
As they’ve built from the ground up, do you think the P320 will have a realistic ND feature? That would be quite exciting ? Also, this bodes well for those who complain about no browning high power. Another 5 years and we might get one ??
-
Winding up strangers on the internet is far from it ? To be fair, they probably have standard Japanese work ethic of getting it perfect first try. Hence why they’re not pumping out a million variations of the same thing that break on the first game *cough**vorsk**cough*
-
Also, I’d be willing to bet the V2 G19 mags will just be V1 G19 mags with orange followers ? they’d already adopted the awful pinned base design for G19 mags.

“TM can’t produce any more glocks” also TM…

Hi all, I couldn’t find a thread specifically about the GHM9, so I thought I’d start one. I previously had two, the GHM9-G (glock mags) and GHM9-K (MP9 mags). I sold the GHM9-K recently as I didn’t use it. But I kept the GHM9-G as I use it and want to use it more. I really like it, however out of the box it has one big flaw - it’s gas efficiency. The stock mag only allows you to load 30bbs, which I think was probably strategic when they realised it wouldn’t finish a long mag. It would be fine in the height of summer, I could finish a 50rd mag. But terrible in typical British weather. Recently I’ve fitted a 230mm TBB which is hidden in the supressor and runs into a tracer. However, the muzzle energy shot up from 1.1J to 1.6J. This prompted me to find a way to reduce the muzzle power and increase the gas efficiency. This resulted in a nozzle valve spacer and a short stroke spacer. I also found my GHM9 stock had nothing on the end, so I made a knurled butt plate for the stock. I don’t have any photos, but there was quite a bit of work involved in getting guarder magazines to fit. I’ll have to wait until winter, but I’m hoping the end result is something that runs all year around!

Need Some Advice – Struggling to Maintain My MWS Setup
MistakenMexican replied to Ulmocuk's topic in General Discussion
Nozzle breaking: that sounds like a set up issue. The nozzles shouldn’t be breaking so frequently. Have you fitted a GM v3.5 nozzle? I’ve fitted those and they seem to be pretty robust. I’ve also heard nozzles snapping can occur from over-loading the magazines with bbs. Maybe try putting a few less bbs in each mag? you could also look at a stronger nozzle return spring. mags leaking: if properly maintained and stored, they shouldn’t leak. My pistol mags are stored in a peli case with a desiccant and pressure valve. Of the 50, only 5 leaked after 6 months in a storage container (when I moved house) and presently those 5 are the only ones that leak and that’s because the orings have perished. if you store them with a low pressure, high silicone gas, they’ll likely stay gas tight indefinitely. I used to to abbey maintenance gas but recently moved to ultra air because it’s cheaper. -
Just be wary, the police have a lot more time for “violent” and “real” crime than they do “non-violent” crimes like theft and shoplifting. They’ll be more inclined to arrest you and charge you with assault for laying a hand on the thief whilst retrieving your stolen goods back, than they are inclined to charge the burglars. Lots of these thieves will know how to play the system as well. They’ll make their assault and lower hanging fruit than the theft of your belongings.

“Hey Alexa, shoot the bad guys” Also - their website seems abit contrary. glock - introducing the *brand new* G17L gen5 MOS also glock - discontinuing the G17L gen5 MOS
-
I heard a rumour from IWA at the G45 & G45 MOS sales were outstripping every other model and glock were considering reducing all the models that competed with the G45 MOS. Did put much weight in it as it was pub talk. Sounds like my friend might have been speaking some truth. In other news (with the help of Facebook translate) it sounds like the new batch of G17.5s might ship in Japan soon. Maybe on 2nd May?in

It’s a British G17:
-
Rumours are true, they’re doing a G34 gen5 MOS!
-
Yeah, first time I did it, I panicked as I thought I’d really f*cked it. I couldn’t get the sear back in with my bare hands ? luckily I buy so much shadowfoam I had a pair of forceps to hand and managed to jiggle it in using them. No idea how you get it in barehanded.

Second half of the gen5 disassembly video
-
The new agency arms slides just landed on my doorstep today ?? pretty happy with the first one! shamless plug, but I’ve started recording some of the tech work I do, and as a result, I’m in the process of publishing a few tech videos on the gen5 MOS. Have a look and let me know if you lot think it’s helpful?
-
Yeah, the gen2 mags are backwards compatible. They seem to have better gas stored and gas output compared to the old mags. I find my older glocks run much better on the newer mags, so whilst they’re quite expensive, they seem worth it. They’re still heavy compared to the guarder, prowin and TTI mags.
-
Few bits of glock news: firstly it looks like TM have announced a new production date. Hopefully that means if you had a preorder with impulse, you’ll get yours! secondly, don’t have photos to hand, but guarder have teased on Facebook they’ll be doing a gen5 G34 and G45 based off the gen5 mos platform ?

Customs police came to my home
MistakenMexican replied to Mini airsoft's topic in General Discussion
most commonly, the UKARA number has a typo or the paper has fallen off the consignment. Both have happened to me. Never had a visit from police. normally you get a snotty letter saying you’re breaking the law unless you provide a defence, and at that point you get the opportunity to provide a defence. I wonder if the letter never got to you? -
*stock clearance sale* *miffed that lots of stock is cleared out* They used to be really good for Gucci TM glock upgrades. I feel a bit bad as I haven’t bought from them in a while, but used to buy all my guns modify parts from them.
-
I played a full game day today. Including venting the mags and refilling them, I used one large can of Nuprol 2.0. So about £8-9 worth of gas. I can’t remember the last time I used more than 1 can.

Don’t forget, they’ll be listed at retail or higher as well ? -
Macks airsoft dreamers of the week thread
MistakenMexican replied to Mack's topic in General Discussion
I went through a phase of buying boneyard TM Glocks off this forum, refurbishing them and selling them. i gave up after I bought one glock held together with super glue, and one that smelt like it had been soaked in toilet water. ? the state people leave their kit in boggles my mind.
