You know what they say.... "Big head. Big...." "Hat size"

Nope, you're in luck... https://www.airsoftdb.com/search/?q=aap-01&s=t&r=uk edit: ah, sorry, in luck for normal versions... 2 tone might be trickier. Anyway, have a poke around...

You know what I mean, for us spray'n'pray types I must be a gigachad, the full size OneTigris extends about 1/2-3/4" below my (second?) chin, but that's fine for me. I will recommend the smaller size to my mate who still plays without anything protecting his teeth (silly boy)

Of course the lead pellets are more dangerous than BB's (gotta have a good backstop) but the barrel is rifled so they're much more accurate, and I don't think the same laws apply to airguns, you might not need a two tone version? (Best to check up on that) Visit this YT channel for reviews of all sorts of air guns .. https://youtube.com/c/AAROnair

The Sargeant Major will give him an absolute beasting if his rifle isn't clean...

Yeah I should have said I've not skirmished mine yet, just tried it out on all my guns, with my face pro on. The rain thing I'd never thought about tbh. I've played a couple of times in light rain with my Kobra, and that wasn't affected, but then thats Russian real-steel for you, it's designed to survive nuclear war, and the consequent cockroach takeover of the world 🤣. The £25 'Amazon special' might not be quite so capable in bad conditions!

.... I've actually got the face mask Rogerborg showed, but feel Airsoft is different from real steel shooting - my cheek weld is just the lightest of contact. Let's face it, in a pinch we could shoot these things with no sights at all, and just walk the BB's on to the target. And there's no recoil to control.

There is another thread on this forum I've literally updated at the same time, about face pro and the exact same sight 🤣

Option 2 is the one I've just bought, it is quite compact (compared to my chunky Kobra) which can be a positive or a negative depending on your preference.… It's nicely made and has a set of clean sharp reticles.

You've actually used your bungee cord though, whereas my o-rings are destined to knock about waiting for a "maybe I can use an o-ring" moment which will probably never come (I did ask for them on purpose because those moments did occur in the past, when I didn't have any)

Same thing with my F2000, with the same sight you've got...! So I bought this from Ant Supplies That's a 20mm lift at the lowest setting. 5 slot version, £12 inc p&p https://www.ant-supplies.uk/rails-and-adapters/adjustable-height-weaver-riser-rails.html As SeniorSpaz suggests, you could try a different mask, but I prefer a more upright head position, rather than trying to find a cheek weld. Higher head = better view around the sights / peripheral vision. Oh yeah, and I recommend one of these too... https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/294313449017

I'm early in my tech'ing journey. First attempt was a bit of a disaster, but I've tried again. And after quite a few painful hours I've learned a lot. I might not be doing it right yet (time and a few thousand BBs will tell), but it's interesting and fun, and gives me something to obsess over that's cheaper than looking for and buying whole new guns I recommend you pick your least-used gun and give it a go!

"Saw this, thought of you ..."

Great! I'll pm my details That's a pricey way around the issue, but definitely an option - thanks!

I take your bit of cable, and raise you with... some O-rings! Ahem. Yeah well they came as a freebie from Ant Supplies... Here's my actual haul... A Bulldog MOLLE Mk4 tactical belt, with Karrimor SF Predator Under Armour Yoke. Still have holster and more mag pouches etc to fit... This replaces my Viper tac belt where the MOLLE section of the belt didn't get far enough around my expanded waistline Red dot lens protector (as seen earlier in this thread) RIS Riser rail (quick release, adjustable height) RIS rail (for my F2000 BF4 build) 2x Stubby grips New toy on the way tomorrow...!

Well I pulled the trigger on it... Defconairsoft selling at £135 plus next day delivery at £6. Also bought a couple of cans of gas as well, one mini for my belt pouch, one full size but low power for indoor plinking. Got some abbey ultra and sniper already knocking around for the next skirmish, if it's below 10C Now I did mention I was interested in the px4. Specifically because @Farapollo has a nearly new one for sale, with a spare mag included for around the £100 mark. And I twice contacted him about it. First I changed my mind and bought my F2000 for Xmas, and now this. Sorry Farapollo! So if anyone reading this thread has a hankering for a modern TM pistol, but thinks £135 plus another £30 for a spare mag is off-putting, I recommend you consider his package instead. It was such a great value proposition I still feel a bit silly for going for a pistol I slightly prefer the aesthetics of, but it's costing me so much extra cash.

I'll have to order up some more popcorn with all those extra upgrades going in...

Special Ops is just off J14 of the M1... is that any use? It hasn't re-opened just yet though... had a game cancelled - end of the month probably https://www.specialopshq.co.uk/

As someone quite new to tech'ing, I'd question whether the selector gears / plate were correctly positioned - but as you've been taking it all apart and putting it back together then I'd say that's unlikely. *Unless* you've been putting it back together exactly as 'the lads' had done...? In which case they may have got it wrong and you're keeping it the same?

Cheers, good info! I'll be ordering one this week on the basis of your recommendation. I've got large hands so no problem there. (T'wife might be tempted to kill me, told her of course I'm not looking at buying another gun already, when she caught me looking at prices!) As far as the holster goes, I'm currently running a Kombat UK universal holster. It's a reasonably snug fit and I'll keep the retention strap in place until I need the gun. There's no chance of it jumping out with that in place In the longer term I would like a plastic holster with a thumb button release for a faster draw... So maybe this one Orpaz 1911 Holster Fits Colt 1911 Kimber 1911 Sig Sauer 1911 and Springfield 1911 https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B01MD1D9LI/ref=cm_sw_r_apan_glt_i_NDMVGMQA6SPWY8ZH5GP5

Oh that's cool... I think everything on the lower is the same except for the extended slide release catch and different trigger. So there's a fairly good chance it'd fit. Bit pricey though, and as you say - out of stock.

Awwwww crap. 😪

A quick supplementary question... Does it have a lanyard loop at the base of the backstrap? (I'm haunted by the poor chap at my site losing his gold hi-capa, I'd definitely want it on a leash ;))

30 pistols!!! Wow, I don't think I'd still be married if my obsession enjoyment of airsoft went that far Well that's great to hear its so immediately impressive How is the red dot sight? I had no real intention to buy one to go with it, as £60 seemed a bit steep for a polymer body sight, but I did notice the spec says the lens is bb-proof (300fps is quoted, I guess that means with 0.20g), which is pretty useful. So never say never...
