Just a thought but what about dremmelling out a channel for the tube in the Stock and slipping it onto that?

(May sound dumb but just an idea)

I think the diameter of the tube would be wider than the stock, but I don't know. You wouldn't be able to fold it either if it was slipped over the buffer tube.

I'm not worried about it folding, just want it the look. Needs to be somewhat functional though, don't want it falling off or snapping whenever I shoulder the rifle.

two_zero, what polarity in fuel molecules?

the reversed extra polarity.

What?

Seeing as a mate has absolutely no issue using Lonex Flash Mags in his PDR, ^ Talking out if his backside.

Real Sword Type 97 or 97B. Awesome rifles

Well, I go out for a day and come back to 11 notifications...

Evil, do they use standard STANAG mags in airsoft?

I don't know...I just don't really like them

Buy! Sorry Finius!

Sell!

Yeah that's a good idea, will make one now

Basically. LiFes are for cool people.

Complicatedly, you'll be needing the most you can utilise for 500fps.

I've taken the barrel/hop out, but it's been gradually getting higher, rather than a sudden increase.

Maybe its letting out one of those slow squeaky farts

Maybe, but it needs to be lowered again... I've actually just thought of what might be happening, when they lowered the FPS, they did it on a game day by giving it an air leak, by putting a tiny hole in the nozzle. I have a feeling this may have become blocked with crap from the gearbox over time. Gonna take it apart and see if I can clean it out...

Okay thanks, I'll have a look and price up upgrades for all three. Pretty certain the M14 will turn out cheapest though, it's about £200 cheaper to start with.

and with a ver7 gearbox, it's likely to last longer than the others- assuming the Scar is also a version 2

Looked up the Scar, yeah it's a V2. Will get the M14, the VFC's propriety gearbox would annoy me too much trying to find parts, and the V2 gearboxes aren't really strong enough to withstand 500 FPS reliably.

cheese and apple... I'm not joking.

I will try that. I've done banana, custard and honey, which was nice, and I've done banana, apple and honey, which was also nice.

I'm going to try literally everything suggested, as long as I like the suggested items, e.g. I won't be trying ham or bacon with anything.

Other way round I got myself confused, drakeling's good at 2 in the morning, NWA good at this time of night.

Okay, thanks. Got work tomorrow, so won't be playing at 2am. Although last day Saturday, so I can play all night every night next week

Oh god, I went through a phase of doing that. Things got so dire I had to resort to playing co-op but I had some good games tbh

Ed, what bag do you currently have? And would I be okay walking from my accommodation to the coach (about 1 mile) with something like this? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Deluxe-black-rifle-case-gun-slip-bag-padded-pocket-shooting-tactical-air-carbine-/200906673302?pt=UK_SportingGoods_Hunting_ShootingSports_ET&hash=item2ec6f88c96#shId

how about 29.00 including shipping

That'd be totally fine, yeah. I've actually forgotten what the bag I have is called or who makes it, but it cost me £70 at The Airsoft Arms fair a couple of years ago. It's on the way out actually, lots of ripped seams on it.

Liam, you really need to check your tenancy agreement carefully. I know when I was at uni, guns and any other weapons, including replicas and imitations, were totally banned from halls of residence and any other uni buildings/sites. In addition, the tenancy agreements for "headed tenancy" properties banned any type of wepaon in the houses. If you take them along, you might well find you have nowhere to keep them! Where abouts are you going to uni?

Yeah, I've checked that Scooby, doesn't mention it in there. I won't take them first day, as won't be airsofting for few weeks anyway, so will talk to whoever at my accommodation and see what they say. If they say no, then I'll just have to go home every few weekends to airsoft

Just make sure it's stored in an appropriate bag/box and kept out of sight. No one has the right to search your room/open your bags without either due cause or a warrant to do so. So no problem as long as no one knows it's there.

Obviously this it teaching grandma how to suck eggs as you've been at this a long time, but there's no harm in reminding someone of their rights!

Of those two I'd go sentry, however I quite like the look of the viper and autobot.

I quite like the Viper, but can't see why it's over £100 more expensive than the Sentry.

What weapons other than M4s are good for CQB and use STANAG mags?

SCAR L CQC, FN2000, SA80.. I think Redwolf or AisoftGI did a thing about this on Youtube.

I had a google about and around 93' an Aimpoint 3000 or Aimpoint comp would have been in use with Delta if thats any good to you. There is an Aimpoint 3000 up on ebay atm http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Aimpoint-3000-red-dot-gun-sight-/191122721431?pt=UK_SportingGoods_Hunting_ShootingSports_ET&hash=item2c7fcd4a97 Will need a paint job!

an aimpoint 5000 would also do the job!

Thanks, I had a look around, and I believe the sight in the picture I linked above is an Aimpoint Electronic Mk III, or at least it's very similar. May get that one, although I haven't even got the gun yet, not 100% decided.

Lol insidious! sorry im tired son had me up all night

The thing, the original not the remake best horror film ever. Great story and acting definitely recommend.

The Human Centipede

My local site at home (FFZ) allows 500 FPS DMRs, and so does Skirmish Airsoft Nottingham (which is near Uni). I'll keep the stock spring and get a 400 FPS spring, so I have it all covered. It's just deciding on which brand internals to get.

Fair play, might I suggest, ( sorry if this breaks any forum rule) try the Longrange AEG's section on airsoft sniper forum. The guys on there seem to have some pretty sweet setups and have tried most of the combinations available. Also because they are very results driven they tend to base their recommendations on hard evidence and testing.

Pretty certain it doesn't break forum rules. I haven't made a topic on there myself, but I've read a lot on there, and there's already a topic asking the exact same question, which is where I got recommendations for Guarder parts from. I then took that recommendation to see what /r/airsoft on Reddit thought, and they mostly suggested Lonex instead of Guarder.

Your m16 has multiplied?

You haven't got any Russian goodness in there for a start...

Nope, M16s are as they were when new, apart from the rails added to the G&P one.

The pistol holster on the sniper stock is what is different, an idea someone gave me. Tried it out today, worked pretty well .

Ed, the L96 and 1 M16 is mine, the other M16 is my mate's. Completed the L96 look quite a while ago.

Finius, I will probably never get a Russian weapon....

I've got the Warrior L96. Out of the box? Not very good really. Fully upgraded? Really good. On the heavy side though, arms ache after a day running around with it. Build quality of it isn't great either, the bipod lug on the front snapped off after a day of using a Harris style bipod.

Those things TM compatible? Planning to get rid of my SVD for an L96 or VSR asap...

Nah, they're a clone of the Maruzen Type-96, a lot of available upgrade parts.

Yeah G&P, still shoots consistently, has lost no FPS at all, rate of fire is the same on the same battery which I got at same time as the gun. Only thing is the trigger response.

Probably a build of carbon/arcing on the contacts and old grease getting gummed up.

Yeah should think so gun's had a lot of use, especially on semi-auto and short bursts. I think it's done pretty well for over 2 years with stock parts still.

In my experience? Excellent externals. Really well cast and machined aluminium used throughout on most of their stuff,steel in as much places as possible. But gearboxes have a lot to be desired. Gears not particularly strong,any ACM set will out perform them. Pistons are weak and horrible. Gearbox shells look nice but not too strong. In fact,any of the plastics used by VFC in internals seem to suck balls.

I see them,along with G&P and a few other outfits as bodykits you dump up...

Forgot to say, the hops have a habit of resetting themselves when you release the bolt cover too.

That's not too much of a worry, I have spare hop units too. I basically have a full spare set of M4 internals. Any idea if there are any cheaper HK416s with decent externals but crappy internals that I can just swap out?

same as any second hand gun, about 75% of what he paid for it.

That's what I thought. He was hoping it'd be worth a bit more, with it being discontinued and in new condition .

They're pretty common, like the vfc scars for example, they wont get any price increase from being discontinued.

Thank you

They can put 0 in if it's paid by the government, a few people have done so, but I'll add that as a note under the question to clear up confusion.

If I leave it optional, people will skip it for the sake of skipping it. I had a draft one with a lot more optional questions, and so many people just skipped them out of laziness.

I entered N/A for it.

Okay, that's fine , I need to go through all of the answers to that question anyway and convert them to the same format and to GBP

welcome to the club!

You're not the only one Liam, I've completely gone off western weaponry recently, as far as I now find m4's physically sickening :s

They're very cool and fun to use. My dad (Oh wait this is his account not mine :|) got a CYMA AK47 when it was 120 quid at Patrol Base (should've been 190+) IT'S A BEAST! The blowback is superb too, great piece of kit.

It's the most hassle ever. That said, it's been good fun and I've solved the hop up problem, scraping problem and a couple of others too. Haven't had chance to test it yet, but am updating my review thread soon.

Given the opportunity, I would definitely go back and do that. Arden recently bought one from them and has had no problems with it at all, and it shoots pretty well, think it still has the stock barrel in it.

If they have an upgraded VSR for sale, I'm...

...going to be so tempted to buy it.

Why does this thing not tell me if I go over the character limit in comments!?

Annoying isn't it? Lol

What has been seen cannot be unseen.

facedesk

I do apologise. I have also now allowed myself back on the internet.

Yeah, there were a few of them on there like that! Also, the title of this from Airsoft World made me laugh: http://www.airsoftworld.net/tokyo-marui-p90tr-high-cycle.html

I suppose when you get to Airsoft World's level and start socialising with their buyers on sites such as Facebook you can be a little more informal like that. But the fact they can't even spell *Forest...

actionhobbies are always doing stuff like this, not surprised I've never really seen them as a proper airsoft retailer for some reason anyway- this gives me a reason
