Mad dog 49

I'm in the UK and got a Federal Concepts FEDA direct from them. It came from Portugal, but it came. If you are in the US, there is a stockist there too, I just can't remember the name.

I have the Federal Concepts one fitted to my Noveske (GM nozzle). It's much better than the RATech as it doesn't need wedging with a second Allen key or screwdriver to adjust. Easy as hell to fit, spot on consistency and it performed flawlessly over the weekend. Just remember to add a little threadlock to the grub screw to keep it from drifting and you are good to go. As far as I can tell, and having used a Jaeger Precision downgrade valve before the FEDA came back in stock, the JP will be decent too, but it looks like a direct copy of the FEDA which Federal Concepts took the time and money to develop, so if nothing else, I'd go with the Federal Concepts one every time to support developers.

That's a copy of the FEDA valve from Federal Concepts. I've got the FEDA fitted to my Noveske (GM nozzle) and it's absolutely spot on.

I picked up a 300 bb drum mag for my SMC9 and changed the inlet valve for an HPA tap. All worked great for about ¾ of a day and then it came loose and looks like I've stripped the threads in the mag. Has anyone else had this and if so, did you fix it or was it trashed and destined for the bin?

So, what are the latest ideas on eliminating, or reducing bolt bounce? I've seen Ollies videos on the subject, but am I looking for a heavier buffer weight or a lighter one?

Have you changed the gas routers in the DE mags? The stock ones are not a great seal. Try the GM ones. I've picked up the GM v3.5 nozzle as pictured, does anyone know what the rubber o ring is for and where it goes?

I suspect they are young. "Absolutely 0 idea what the FPS is, don't have the cash for an FPS checker" seems like something someone quite young would say.

"Raven", the shit version of Nuprol.

New pew, replacement for my LM4D workhorse. Paired it with a PEQ15, 3x magnifier and RDS and finished it off with a Bifrost BT for flame fun.

For those who have the DE mags, changing the gas router for the GM ones eliminates the DE mag issues. I've put a 250mm barrel in mine, next up is an autobot and omega nub, a GM v3.5 bolt with the stronger nozzle return spring and a FEDA valve when they come back in stock soon. In case anyone gives a toss, all of that added cost and it is still markedly cheaper than an equivalent TM and personally, I think it shoots very respectably. I have zero regrets in getting this over a vastly more expensive TM that would likely still need the same aftermarket parts.

What's your budget and how many are you looking to get?

What are the collectives thoughts on carbon steel inner barrels?

🤮

Erm, no idea how soon is "soon", but.... https://www.patrolbase.co.uk/g-and-g-armament-levar-15-gas-powered-lever-action-rifle

It's still live, but the piss taking speedwanker (or "Seller" as commonly known) has closed the advert to further questions and removed any that have been asked so far. On another note, I wouldn't care if it lobbed 1000bbs a second, was made of solid platinum and came with a cheque for £500, no hi capa, especially not one that looks like it's been polished up with a headless smurf carcase is worth that!

I've crafted my own "ghillie". I put it in inverted commas because it's not a full suit with the trousers and all that malarkey, it's just a viper mesh jacket that covers head, shoulders and down my back. I made a rifle wrap to match and realistically that's all I really need to cover up if I pick my spot to hide properly. I only wear it when I've got my BASR in my mitts. I take it off to run anything else because, well, its just not sporting. As others have said, rentals won't get what us happening to them or appreciate the skill that a good sniper has employed to brass them up without being seen.....then again, the majority of ghillie wearers I have met on a casual skirmish day are utterly clueless about actual stealth and think they are fucking Batfink, "your plastic balls cannot harm me, my leaves are like a shield of steel!" kind of thing. I think ghillie is for BASR only, just my twopenneth. Thinking about an alternative that let's anyone use a ghillie. A ghillie wearer, not using a BASR is required to shout "Nee" once every 30 seconds.....and if there are two of them working as a team, one has to be slightly higher than the other to create a nice little two level effect to the shrubbery.

Dear God, can get a real steel AK for less than that brand new!

I also don't think it's a crazy price, but if the fella says it works but doesn't work and thinks his paint by numbers bodge job is that good, what else is he telling us that is wrong, is there more damage than just the nozzle for example?

So it's boneyard with a gash paint job courtesy of airfix?

Still upto the same shenanigans. I ordered an item that was labelled as "3 days lead time" but 11 days later it is still showing as "awaiting dispatch" so I've called the store, no answer, and I've called the returns line, no answer, so finally I have emailed to cancel the order entirely. I will avoid these clowns in future.

It's a used Vorsk, he needs a decimal point in that price somewhere.......

Has he handed it to his dog to chew? 🤣

Dear God! £30, for that abomination. Just burn it, it's not worth the expense of listing and posting it and more importantly, nobody should ever have to have their eyes ruined by seeing that filth in the light of day again! 🤣

I carry them in their quake. If I need to chuck a grenade more than 7 times in a game, I'm in the wrong game. The refills stay in the safe zone.

Few things scream "clown" louder than.. "6 x 3500 bottles of bbs mixed .2s .25’s .28’s" What? You've mixed weights together? I also particularly like the "must have a valid UKARA"....how is he going to check it's live?
