  1. You could argue the toss back and forth, however as Patrol Base finally have these back in stock... https://www.patrolbase.co.uk/emg-230rnd-daniel-defense-mid-cap-magazine-for-m4-ar-15-6-pack ... I'd just buy a pack and that's you and your wife sorted for a very good price👍
  2. As an AEG DMR player to get the best you need to commit to the "very very very very very fine-tuning" lifestyle to get the best out of them, but moving around without a "tank and line" is so much nicer The trifecta for me has been air volume + hop + BB weight, get these all perfect and you're there (so me = full cylinder + Maxx Model M4A-Pro / Concave Metal Nub / Snipetor patch + 0.40g).
  3. Starting to repair a boneyard AK-47, wires soldered to motor tabs, WTF! 😡

      Hmm, I guess an argument can be made that 2.8mm spade connectors that were fine for 8.4v nimh driving a 1990s motor at 10rps might be the resistory part of an 11.1V 30rps wankergun setup.

      is it a 74U? worried this may be my doing... I know very little about AEG repairs and knew even less back then, but when trying to repair a krink (that i later sold on) i snapped the motor tabs with relatively little force, soldering them back on seemed like the simplest solution? what should i have done instead?

      @ruben0 You're fine, it's actually an AKM :) (I'm slowly learning more about AK's)

  4. I'm going to be controversial but that's why sometimes it's better to hit an area of the target that's more likely to feel the shot if you know what I mean, sorry 😔
  5. Those of us who like to pretend to be bracken, bushes and trees know the crafting materials aren't cheap (even with AliExpress being an option for some things). One person / place I've never bought from is Theyma HP... https://www.facebook.com/TheymaHP/ ... so I was wondering if anyone here has? They're only over the channel in France, but not being traditional retail I'm wondering if language / shipping / taxes get in the way and mean overall it's just easier to buy certain crafting materials from KMCS now and again? I expect that I'll message them soon anyhow, but I thought I'd ask here as well just in case.
  6. As a bit of a DE M900 aficionado I'd love to know what's implied by "fully upgraded" as well. Externally I see slapped on paint, a 3d printed stock extension, and grip tape applied to the stock pistol grip, so let's say a generous £40 on parts there, so where has the other £180 or so gone? To replace the weaker components in it, hop unit + bucking + nozzle + spring + motor, you could do all of that for £90 with parts from AK2M4.
  7. It won't be for fitment into the magwell but for the spring and follower inside it. I'd be assuming that only the seperate internal part of the mag, not it's shell, is made with the impregnated plastic.
  8. Yes... https://www.igus.com/company/self-lubricating-plastics
  9. For various reasons I'd never buy one but the Novritsch SSR4 MK2 is a good all round AEG, and what I like is that it has it's own dedicated spare part page on their website... https://eu.novritsch.com/products/gun-systems/all-rifles/rifles/the-ssr4-system/ssr4-mk2-spare-parts/ ... and YouTube disassembly videos so in theory it's something that you could run for years and cover all sorts of things that might fail. Beyond that I'd be looking at key features like... a branded controller / ETU pre-installed (so effectively a GATE Aster or Titan) so you get cycle control etc. + quick change spring + no non-standard or proprietary parts + standard AR buffer tube so you can use any stock you want + standard M4 / AR15 mags. Also as you say you'll play at a "relatively big woodland site" I'd be thinking about keeping some money back so that you can set yourself up to use heavy BB's like 0.32g, so you get good range and know your shots can pass through light foliage. Some of the money you keep back may need to go on a stronger spring + better bucking + possibly a hop unit with some sort of TDC.
  10. This is a bit of a stretch, as someone who keeps an eye on their products (but not yet bought any), but seeing their "in stock" items getting lower and lower each month and a lack of social media updates I get an uncomfortable feeling (with no evidence, but it feels like potential cash flow type issues).
  11. This advert is COMPLETED!

    I was given a brand new Tokyo Marui Tactical Master towards the end of December 2024, which I thought I wanted to keep, but on reflection I'll never use so I may as well sell it. It's the older fixed hop version, I stupidly removed the tag on the trigger guard when I thought I'd be using it, and I've just gassed the mag to make sure it's good (which it is) and dry fired it about 20 times (and it does feel good). I also peeled the price sticker off the box which I wish I hadn't I've put down an FPS of 280 as I'm assuming that's probably what it will do with green gas and 0.20g BB's. Price includes postage and it will be shipped via UPS as they don't mind RIF's, and I'm after payment via PayPal or bank transfer (collection is also welcome from Andover, north west Hampshire).

  12. I'm all ready to rock now, getting around 2.22J on 0.48g. Itching to use it in anger but now the weather this weekend looks poop for the Battlesim Lite at Red Alert I also had my son's old Viper ready rig, he just runs a belt now, now fitted with a couple of Kydex Customs TAC-41 extended mag holders.
  13. Didn't I say this to you on Reddit only a few days ago? (I even shared the photo of it) 🙄 Edit: https://old.reddit.com/r/airsoft/comments/1i62jdq/double_eagle_range_issue/
  14. Who's a good TAC-41 P... yes you are... yes you are... good boy...
