As title suggests, is https://www.outdoorandtactical.co.uk legit? They have some items that are out of stock everywhere else, at a reasonable price which is already two big red flags. Anybody used them recently?

As Jez said, start with the hop. Try a maple leaf macaron 50/60 degree, paired with an omega nub. Cheap and cheerful but makes a big improvement in most replicas.

All of the options I found wouldn’t be delivered in time for the weekend, so I got… “creative” I ordered a G33 kill flash from Aliexpress which turned up last week, but didn’t fit my G33 (???) It was slightly too small for the LPVO to actually screw in, but it sits inside fine and then I used the dust cover to hold it in place

Didn't think it would be so simple to be honest 🤣 Cheers!

How would one go about finding the right size for a threaded scope protector? If it helps, I have a vector optics Grimlock. It has a thread inside the tube, but new to me how to go about finding the size.

Yeah, I saw the PKM on BBG4L, although I’ve now got my eyes set on a friends PKP so we’ll see 😂

If you don’t mind me asking, where did you get it from? All I’ve found is the wooden furniture one over here

I thought you had some weird adapter on the end of your surefire, it took me a little too long to realise what it actually was 😂

https://airsoft-forums.uk/classifieds/submit/?do=submit&category=18&_new=1 There's a section in the classifieds specifically for WTB.

Pistol seems to be around the £120 mark new, Rmr is £30, spare mag is £25, suppressor maybe £10 new, £20 for the mount. Using the general rule of thumb (60-70% of retail) it would be at the £120 - £140 mark as a package. However like above mentioned, Vorsk isn’t a very reliable brand in the eyes of many, and with the general cosmetic wear it would be around the £100 mark best case scenario. Personally I wouldn’t waste the money on hpaing a Vorsk pistol but each to their own!

Yeah, I have to hold it back to get to the hop wheel but not the end of the world. Glad it’s a rotary hop fitted 🤣 I did order a delta armoury one with some other bits so I may give that a try though as it was only £2

18Airsoft in China, yeah it was in an E&C box and all. I think I’ve worked it out. The pin is worn, the mock bolt should run along it and drop it down. A replacement dust cover is £14, so I’m just going to remove the pin and let it hang down (And save £14 😂) Bit annoying it’s worn so fast but 🤷‍♂️

When I got mine it didn’t have the flag part at all, but the E&C flag looks different. How is your upper shaped? Image 1 is the E&C with the ball shaped cut out, image 2 is a Specna m4 upper with the “traditional” flat side

Mines the opposite, it doesn’t open 😂

If it's any further help, the dummy "bolt" has a lip which slots into the charging handle which I don't think I've seen before either. With the specna arms "flag" fitted, it stopped the upper from sitting over the gearbox.

I just had a look at my 3 other E&C builds (M16A1, A2 and XM177) and they're all using a flat sided upper receiver where the flag sits for the dust cover. This is the "flag" I refer to by the way. Not the technical term that's for sure 😂

It's happening with it assembled and unassembled. The little flag piece isn't reaching the button to drop the dust cover as you pull the charging handle back either way, which is really odd. It's the first time I've seen an upper receiver with a sphere shaped cut out rather than being straight and smooth. I'll upload some pictures tomorrow of it to help explain, just was hoping somebody may have had an idea as to why or been in the same situation!

Hey guys, got my E&C M4A1 receiver set today from China and it's all good except one thing. Pulling back the charging handle doesn't open the dust cover, at all. The little "flag" that a lot of AEG M4's have on their charging handle, isn't on the E&C. No biggie, I have a spare specna one laying around so I'll fit it, I thought. The "flag" slides past the button on the dust cover and doesn't drop it. On the E&C M4A1 upper, instead of the area being flat like a lot of standard M4 uppers, it has a small sphere shaped (Kind of?) cut out where the "flag" should slot into and push the dust cover retention pin down. I'm rather lost on what to look at for potential fixes, etc. I also tried a specna m4 dust cover replacing the E&C one but the Specna was too short. Any help greatly appreciated to help me finish my MK18 build 😬

Received the package yesterday, all arrived okay. No import fees either and sailed through customs which was lovely! Definitely recommend 18Airsoft

I emailed a company that sounds like maction bobbies re their E&C m4a1 and they also confirmed it was full trades but not shown in images.

Seem to also be a copy of the PMAG, so at least there's options out there! I found some cymas (Overseas) that hold 220 rounds 😳

So it’s a “PMAG Gen 3”, but can’t find any airsoft replicas in stock over here

Update: Fitted the kit supplied by AK2M4, sadly the longer nozzle was out of stock so used a short green one. Up to 312 fps on .2g as the spring suggests it should be. Turned out Specna just had some bad air seal I guess 😂

My PTS G36 magazines have them too, so when I searched PTS mags through patrolbase I was expecting them to pop up but nothing. Maybe they’re an old version as I did find some similar. Are the PTS M4 mags as good as the G36 ones?

Not exactly clued go with the modern tactical stuff, building a mk18 and saw this style of magazine but - what is it? Is there an AEG mid cap version of it? Cheers guys 👀
