UK sites? Personally I've not played at a single site that's told me my DMR has to match a real steel of any sort. Do you mind me asking what sites they are?

Don't worry, I know the reality ? (one of my highlights from 2024 though was being sat in a bush for around 20 minutes after my team moved on, hoping I don't get cramp / ticks on me / wondering how wet my arse can get, and then an enemy squad wanders by and my DMR sends them all home with shouts of "WTF" and "Where did that come from") I'm hoping that all I need is the updated concave chub nub, 100nm spring and spacers, a couple of extra mags, and a new scope that's got a higher zoom than my DMR ?

Yeah, must remember the "P" has the longer inner barrel.

I've bitten the bullet and bought a TAC-41 P (in FDE) from Skirmshop, let's see how long it takes to arrive over Christmas. In the end I decided... I didn't want to buy second hand, I'm just not sure I'll trust what I'm getting. I thought it best to go with the longer inner barrel and the solid body (a bit more old school). So I've now got until 2nd Feb 2025 to get it just right, ready for the next Red Alert "Battlesim Lite". I think I'm going to go 0.48g and the 120n Silverback spring, but not sure which scope ? (probably a LPVO, 50mm, and use it at around 10x)

Thanks, and as far as I'm aware it's the older fixed hop version. I really like it, but I'd never use it as I've multiple AAP-01's for different situations.

I'm a lucky boy and now unexpectedly have in my collection a brand new Tokyo Marui Tactical Master. I'm really not sure what to do with, but to make sure all is OK I put gas in the mag (no leaks) and dry fired it a few times, and thinking I'll keep it I took the tag off of it (doh!). If I did sell it here any ideas what I should be asking for it?

As Jar Jar said "how rude"! Headless Chickens though are hard to hit, a little bit of movement screws everything up when playing as DMR / sniper whilst that heavy BB's hopes the target is still where it was a second or two ago.

I bought a boneyard CYMA MP5K, that came with a few mags, just for this reason. It works beautifully now with a GATE Titan v3, XT brushless motor and 7.4v LiPo's, however it's become an ornamental pew pew that I use rarely just as a novelty. It's just so HEAVY as a sidearm and to be honest gets in the way more than a pistol does if I'm crawling through bushes and undergrowth So, 100% a pistol all the way for me (although using an AAP-01 it's not the quietest).

Right now Patrol Base have the Double Eagle M904E for £149.99 (if you have UKARA, add on £10 for two-tone), which at that price is very good value (I bought one on Sunday for a friend). However, I don't know what batteries you're currently using for your "CYMA M4" as using a Double Eagle M900 with anything other than 11.1v is a big compromise as the trigger response is sluggish on 7.4v.

I'd strongly suspect that it's a cycle control / active braking issue. @JinxDuh is cycle control enabled / in the GCS app on your smartphone do you see it correctly observing the sector gear teeth / what level of active braking do you have set?

Mods, I was going to reply but is this another of of those scam posts?

AliExpress motherload (I like pretending to be a bush)... ... and velcro strips for add-hoc team arm bands.

Has anyone "Registered" yet so that they can harvest your credentials / passwords?

I wouldn't completely discount the bucking, it may look 100% sat right when using your eye to look at it, but once you're shooting so far out any minor issue will start to show as the BB veering off. With DMR's and snipers getting as close to perfection as possible with hop is essentials so that you have consistency and trust where your shot it going each time. What took me to the next level was an appropriate r-hop patch from Snipetor (Google him) and a Modify flat bucking. If you're using a typical "nub" also be wary of it being ever so slightly off centre, which is why I use a Maxx Model M4A-PRO and its solid concave nub so that this acts as a TDC. (Of course I've spent lots of money on this, but it doesn't guarantee that I'm any less crap at playing )

The no.1 reason why I sold my Armorer Works drum mag (the same as the WE one mechanically). Spare parts are as rare as rocking horse shit with you having to use places like WGC Shop (who are actually very good), the winding mechanism craps out regularly requiring a replacement, and generally they're a lot more fragile than you think. You're probably going to have to bite the bullet and get the park from HK.

Regarding battery it's great when you suddenly find that your battery lasts twice as long as it did on a full charge. Also, as the torque is so incredible, you then start to think about lower gear ratios and just using 7.4v!

So @ButcherBill can reminisce (mods, please delete if inappropriate)... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bK9DCPl2nHQ

This post from me is a little blunt but why "take your gun in" as it's so easy to get a better setup yourself... Buy a Snipetor r-hop patch from their website that matches your inner barrel. Buy a Modify flat bucking. Buy a Maple Leaf Omega nub. Enjoy.

As plain and white bread as they can come, a scruffy boneyard job, but I've spent money on the internals... PDI inner barrel. Snipetor r-hop patch + Modify flat bucking. GATE Titan v3. AK2M4 / XT brushless motor. ... and it runs very nicely on 7.4v (I've no 11.1v's that fit). I'm quite tempted to stick with 7.4v and pop in a lower ratio gear set ? Edit: It was bought with the intention of using as a cold weather / winter sidearm, but as the upper is metal it weighs a ton and is tricky to use single handed.

"What Y'all Think Of My New M4", "Where Do Y'All Play In Tallahassee", basically loads of inane post with "Y'all" somewhere in the subject r/airsoft takes a lot of browsing to find any nuggets of gold, and I always tell any UK players to come here instead ? Back to this threads subject though there's no single answer to this, you just need to follow and watch a few until you get a feel for them and how they operate. If you watch the above recommendations, and maybe thrown in Airsoft Camman (who does get a lot of freebies), YouTube will see what you're watching and make reccomendations.

We need to organise an AF UK members vs site locals, imagine the carnage / reviews ?

Is this the MTW Wraith, with a small bottle in the stock (it's only good for 500 to 1,000 shots though before you have to refill / swap it out). A very well setup AEG will be just as good as HPA though, so what you gain with HPA is the reduced noise and variability of power depending upon sites (so if you always play at the same few sites your AEG is probably already setup for them).

I can see around Christmas time that I'll probably be in a position to buy myself my first bolt action, and I don't plan on building a collection of them so I want to get things right first time. Overall I'm drawn to the TAC-41 platform and the TAC-41 L due to it being light with the slim stock but with the aluminium receiver and other parts. There are a few things though that I'd value others comments on as I don't want to make any mistakes... # Inner Barrel Length: Most TAC-41 models come with the 330mm inner barrel, with only a couple the 510mm. I'd be planning to get as close as possible the UK joule limit on 0.43 to 0.48g BB's, so is 330mm fine or without going longer am I limiting my range and accuracy? # It seems the concave chubb nub is a given to improve hop, but do I stick with the standard flat hop rubber? # What spring / Newton's, from Silverback, should I go with to just sit under UK limits? It seems to be the 120N and you may have to remove a coil? # Is the TDC dial "good enough" or is it best to immediately install the Medusa? # With the TAC-41's feed ramp does your magazine immediately "lose" 20 or so BB's with them sat in it? (so when you play pop the mag in, take it out and load it up fully again, then put it back in?). Do people at the end of a game just empty the ramp and put the BB's back in your speed loader? (I don't mind losing say the three that remain in a Maxx model hop unit each time, but not 20). # Are the mags fiddly, until you get used to them, and it's easy to just accidentally empty them? Do any of the 40 / 100 round mags fit in existing pouches? Thank you

Well, I suppose it's cheaper than getting into using TAGinn rounds (which if I won the lottery I 100% would).
