Anybody have any suggestions for a tight bore 610mm aeg inner barrel? Not finding much available

@JinxDuh I'd want to check and see if the cylinder can actually match that length of barrel anyway!

Anybody with a Cyma m1a1 Thompson able to confirm if the “lower” receiver is plastic or metal?
Looking at options because the proprietary ares selector axis is impossible to replace, so looks like my recent purchase may turn in to an expensive wall hanger… 😬 -
Bought an original M16A1 stock, received a M16A2 stock. I don’t know if to be annoyed or glad.
Anybody want to swap the m16a2 stock for an m16a1 stock? 😂
-
Ironically the A2 stock is a LOT rarer, which is great and all but it would have been nicer to get the A1 I ordered 😂 It does give me an excuse to build a GBB M16A2 next though 👀

Does anybody else start off with a solid build plan in mind, then go to look at parts and end up finding something completely different?
I planned to build a GBB MK18 out of the spares I've got, and then stumbled across some Colt Canada furniture in the green and now my mind is changed fully 😂

I have about three half assed projects on the go at any one time all because I started down one path and got distracted by another while I was researching the right parts (SR25, I'm looking at you).
Plus all the gear I bought because there's a loadout I absolutely have to do and never quite got around to finding just the right shade of tan for the compass pouch so it's been abandoned (there's a chest rig in the classifieds that will attest to this).

Just realised I have a couple of 'builds' or 'rattlecan' jobs on the go just now, the MP5 you sold me is uncaracteristically patiently waiting on a claw mount with a 3-4 month lead time, I already have the SL-20 & will get a sleave for it when the mount arrives, I have a G36C two-tone I'm planning a flecktarn style rattlecan paintjob in progress, Mk18 mod1 recently finished (was only waiting on attachments), new hop up unit ready to fit into my SL8/9 but not done it yet, C7 needing repainted coz the last one I did was crap, an M14 I'll rattlecan into a blackhawk down clone (aimpoint clone required) & thinking I should put some kit I'll prob never use up for sale in the classifieds...
Lots of plans & they'll maybe get done within the next 6 months. (never in a rush & lazy)

After the eventual gearbox lock up of my G36KA4 build yesterday, I have given up with the internals. I may put the upgraded gearbox into my JG C build and go back to a standard S&T gearbox/hop unit for this A4.
Externally I've managed to get a correct "K" style gas block. I've also managed to half fit the CCW G36 barrel extension from a JG onto the Umarex CW thread with some tape and force to bring the outer barrel length down. It's a temporary fix until I can get a 14 x 1 LH tap or a custom extension made. I've been toying with the idea of trying to make a rear wire modification to the stock where you can fold it, insert a battery and then fold it back to "normal" as the rail is an absolute nightmare to fit any type of battery into at all...

Plumbers tape and brute force to fit a CCW barrel extension onto a CW thread 💪
I only managed to get it 50% on, but it sits lower than the extensions I bought. Also fitted the correct gas block and flash hider which really makes it look gorgeous now!
-
This G36KA4 build is going to be the death of me. Parts held at customs and incurred charges. The hop up I managed to get fitted has fell apart. The K length inner barrel has put the fps to 360 and the selector plate has failed. All a few days before I’m going to a game 🤬

Hey bud, I switched the stock out from one of my other models. The A4 uses the standard IDZ stock. It’s an S&T stock which went on perfectly. I got it originally from bespoke but they only have tan now.
I’m trying to source the concaved version as it’s more kosher to the build but the S&T one I have on my C doesn’t lock into place at all. It’s a nightmare 😂
-
It does my nut in having the matte nylon of the Specna stuff (hensolt carry handle scope/dot, KV stock) with the shiny squeaky externals of a JG that's fuck knows how old lol, honestly scared to buy any more stuff for the thing as I've pumped enough money into it (what started as 'hm i'll see if i can get this amp draw issue fixed it's overheating' turned into 'hm let's send it to neg down south and spend 300 quid on a second hand JG I bought off used airsoft) lmao
And now it's playing silly buggers and skips half the rounds in the mag intermitently, even on 7.4 : ( -
I know the pain. I have 4 JG’s from varying years, they all have their own issues. The KA4 was an ares/Umarex I got from here, wanted to replace the burst fire so tried an S&T gearbox that worked fine but couldn’t take a gate titan. Stuck an old gen (No QSC etc) JG gearbox into it after retrofitting and then I’ve had nothing but issues since 😅 The new Lonex hop up works, the titan works (Although the selector plate is a pain in the rear as there’s no instructions on where to put the white sticker for a g36), but the ares lower doesn’t like the JG gearbox and putting the selector too far on safe locks it up, or putting it too far on auto causes the selector plate to slide off of the gearbox. It’s truly a nightmare I wish I never started BUT it’s going to look so good once the new parts I got are fitted (Hopefully a picture tomorrow with it all fitted the day before I take it out 🤞🏻)

Anybody have a VFC G36 (GBBR) mind doing me a favour and sending a picture of the receiver with the handguard off? Want to make sure they can take real parts before buying one
-
Looking at getting a new GBBR... Really like the look of the KWA F90, but the upgradeability and aftermarket parts for an MWS is also very tempting. So many options with an MWS too like a classic M4A1 or a MK18 etc.
If you (The reader) was in my position, which would you go with? 😅😂

I wonder why there’s no gas benelli m4 shotguns produced commercially, would love one.. 😔
-
Nambu Type 14... I want one, but I'd want to skirmish it... Is it worth it? 😂😭

Viper tech M16A1
Is it worth the hype and expensive price tag (Not to mention import risk etc)? Anybody own one?
-
I have 2, a second hand XM177E2 I bought from a guy in the Netherlands and also a Model 602 I had custom ordered from VT directly. I live in the UK and had no problems getting either of them shipped to the UK. I've heard horror stories from before and during covid but since then, at least for me I got them both within a week or 2 of them getting shipped out.
Long story short: the hefty price tag is for the highest quality replica of a real AR-15 with the best recoil you'll ever experience. All depends if its worth it to you spending the money or not. There isn't much information out there to go by in terms of research but I will point you in the direction of Catgut of Explosive Enterprises. He has done extensive experimenting and custom work on the Vipertech platform and is probably the best source of info regarding them. Start with this video and work though the rest of his videos and you'll get a good idea of the kind of thing you're getting into.
Any other questions I'll be happy to answer or if you want to DM any time feel free🙂

Next to impossible to find any metal bodied 249 variants any more. I knew I'd regret selling mine last year. 😂

I believe these have metal bodies but depends on what metal you want, which version, and how much you want to pay

Finally "completed" my Afghan spec L85. Just ignore the cable ties holding the DD rail on 😂 Still not found a way to secure the RS rail to the WE
-
Anybody with a WE L85 know how to get the flash hider off? Can't move mine at all

Probably threadlocked .
1. Get a pan of water boiling on hob
2. Stick end of barrel in for 20 seconds or so
3. Wrap a dark coloured tea towel around barrel and twist clockwise
4. Put everything back and deny all knowledge if she asks
