Hi All, Had a search and it didn't yield any results, so here I am. I've a TM Breacher and yesterday when I inserted the gas tank it started hissing with a leak, the mag itself is fine. I've not taken it apart yet, but I'm figuring that either an o-ring has dried out or something's not tight enough, the issue's pretty close to the rear and from the parts diagram there's a couple of points where this could be the case. Anyone had the issue before? or taken an M870 apart? do I need any special tools? Am yet to use it in a game as I was waiting on some more gas tanks, ironically now it's developed a leak the extra tanks shipped today 🙄 Thanks.

Just give your site a shout, usually if you're already registered they'll renew for you anyway. Are there actually UKARA rules around renewing? the only bit I remember is the three games in no less than 56 days to get registered.

Welcome back. I doubt much has changed

Glad they're finally updating it, will be a tad annoying if I have to set up a new account again but not the end of the world I suppose.

The eldest (13) has asked to come along to a game
Not sure how I'm going to navigate the minefield that is Mrs M not wanting him to know I have my own pew and also the fact I have enough pews for the both of us while she thinks I only have one 😂
Thinking that 'borrowing' some pews may be the answer here

As you can see, I need more stickers 😁
Madhouse replied to nighthawkkhan's topic in General Discussion
You defo need more stickers. Also, overlapping & jaunty angles are a great effect although vastly increases the amount of stickers you need for the same area. Am currently doing the same to the garage beer fridge but it's looking too sparse to contemplate a pic at the moment. -
Seeing my boys playing football, the height variations in the 10-14 age range is huge! I even thought an U13 player was the coach - reckon he'd have got served in a pub 😂 Normally 12 is the lowest age for insurance, might have seen one at 11 but couldn't tell you which site that was. Personally I'm waiting for mine to be sensible enough to be let loose with a pew.

I use an AceTech Bifrost on the rifle and a Xcortech XT301 mk2 on the pistol (for holster compatibility). Very tempted to get a predator for the MK18. Light wise, I've a variety of surefire clones for rifles and pistols and they all do the job well, but I did splash out on an Olight Odin for the MK18 as it's such a lovely pew it deserves nice accessories too - I can certainly see the difference too.

There was me thinking all the pimped hi-capas on here were crazy money but it seems Patrol Base want a piece of the action - WTF?
-
I just use green gas or whatever a brand's equivalent is. I fitted an NPAS early on so can adjust to the differences between brands if it's an issue, temperature changes are why I installed it though.

Have you had the motor out before? there's a chance it picked up the extra screw in the factory. Chuck it in the box of bits and then at least you can find it if it turns out it has a home.

BBguns4less seem to have a 'Skirmish Tactical Pro' in large which is allegedly 1m long. I originally thought about Nuprol's large case but it's 1.09m long, 8cm too big. Of course I could stop being so lazy and collapse my stocks, thus making the medium case an option (tape measure dependent of course) - albeit I might need two.
-
Thanks, now to find a case that'll fit a 77cm rifle but is 101cm or less in length (the width of my boot). The search begins .....
-
Loving the case layouts, it's really making me want to upgrade my rifle bags. At the risk of derailing the thread, is there a case with multiple layers in it? or are they all a relatively standard depth?
-
My 308's a G2, I've not had the gearbox apart so can't comment on gears. It is however, ridiculously easy to make use of the fact it's already got an electronic trigger and fit a Perun ETU++, which is what I've done. If it gives me a reason to open the box up then maybe I'll think about something else, until then it's fine as it is.

I've found AliExpress to be useful when looking for cheap sights, the latest being a SIG Romeo8 which is on my MP7. They're all pretty easy to dial in, I use a formula so I can do it indoors at shorter distances. It works out the offset you need, I then draw two crosses on a target, one's the aim point and the other's where the BB should hit. I got it from the Recon Brothers website, they used to have a calculator on there but now they just tell you the formula. You can either do this the old fashioned way with BBs or with a bore sighter

I enjoyed that too, keeps things sensible and doesn't provoke the opposers into shouting about people running around the streets with toy guns and turning the place into a war zone. From my visits to RIFT they're well run too.

Rum and pineapple's a good combo, cut up a pineapple into big chunks, soak them in rum and then do them on the BBQ - tasty! Have had a few rum's, although I go through a lot more bourbon & whisky. Two bottles on the go at the mo, Mount Gay and Cape Cornwall Spiced which is like drinking christmas cake - not everyone's taste but I like it.

Just found out someone (aged 25) in our office always watches TV with the subtitles on. General consensus is that this is a bit left-field.
Straw poll so far suggests this is specific to the 22-30 age range.
Do you?

We do it all the time, with everything.
It's because the dialogue level on a normal TV is shit - so if we have it at a volume where we can actually hear the dialogue, it disturbs the kids trying to get to sleep.
It's also pretty cool when there's stuff you read that you wouldn't have a chance of hearing. For example, a character on screen answers the phone and you get to hear what the person on the other end is saying (sometimes).

TM MP7 user here. It's a TM so it's lovely - what is it they say about good things coming in small packages? (that's what I tell Mrs M anyway 😉) Have got the aftermarket sling mount, just because you need one anyway just to sensibly use a sling. Mine's not exploded yet, if it does I'll fix it, might have a look for a CNC back plate though. I find when you have this kind of decision to make, go with the one you like the look of. No point getting a TM because of their magic if it's just going to bug you that it's a tad smaller.

You could get scientific, empty a mag, weigh it, fill it and weigh it again. But even then, mags are different and sometimes you get more in than others, because that's the real world. I just carry more than one can of gas in my bag, when one runs out, replace it and carry on. I'm filling 4 different types of mag and life's just too short to be thinking about how many fills I'm getting - as has been said, lots is the answer Just seen you're talking about the smaller bottles, are you thinking field refilling and you only have room for one bottle? In that case have a spare in your bag and then when the game zone bottle get's a bit light relegate it to safe zone duties and start a fresh can (you could go as far as weighing an empty can if that's your thing).

I got my MK18 from Fire Support. I seem to remember Surplus Store being reasonable but the deal with three extra mags is a good one. I contacted FS about mags at the time and they confirmed the only difference between M4 and Type 89 MWS mags is the look. I got extra mags on eBay of all places, mainly because I prefer the look of the M4 mag. If you're looking to turn your M4A1 into a MK18 then there are some posts in this thread that would be worth you finding, although if you're planning to buy the stuff straight away you may find it more cost effective to just get a MK18 .... which is out of stock by the look of it. Fire Support's stock alerts are pretty timely though, that's how I landed mine.

Sounds like you've come to the right conclusion, you can scratch your GBB itch at a later date. Cost of entry into the GBB game is eyewatering, a sidearm is a cheaper way in as you use it less and therefore can get away with less mags, but it's certainly not a necessity or a replacement for a rifle. You can prepare yourself for getting a GBB by getting mid-caps, or even lo-caps. I use 100rnd midcaps on my 308 but still have my emergency hi-cap as a last mag. It was actually then that I found that 200 rounds does me just fine in most games, so I bought enough gas mags to cater for that and a bit of extra on top. I see you have an MP5K, how may shots are you using most games? All that said, I love my MK18 and MP7 GBBs!

If you do end up keeping it in your room it'll stand you in good stead, nowadays I'm mainly hiding new kit from the Mrs 😂

Can you use an M4 as a DMR - yes. Hell, some people have MK23's set up as DMR's. Are there different rules for DMR's - yes. It depends on the site but at the very lease you'll have an MED due to the higher power and you'll need to be able to lock it to semi only. After that things can vary a bit more from site to site, eg physical / electronic locking to semi and type of RIF (and even then it may depend on whether you're doing a skirmish or milsim etc). Essentially, check the rules of whatever site you frequent the most and do that. My 308's a short-barreled one and I use it under 1.13j for CQB 😁
