How do i remove this flash hider? Vfc 417 gbbr
Dan Robinson replied to Ghostopera's topic in General Help
That looks like the stupid pin/circlip Worcester Bosch put in their shitty boilers. All you need to do is punch it out from the straight side. Once you get it started, you should be able to pull it through from the otherside with a pair of Pliers. -
thank fek for that setting - I now have muscle memory and if I'm on my phone my chunky digits (if I do remember to press the little icon) are too chonks to hit the mark.

Legend! Cheers.

Is there a setting to make the forum scroll to the first unread reply to a thread? I know some forum software can so this, would be nice if this one did too.

Hey at least it shows we care... 😁

The take down and first time "trouble shooting"
Dan Robinson replied to Jaylordofwaargh's topic in Electric Guns
It might be worth investing in those anti reversal latch holder doo dads - that fecking thing drove me to distraction. @ak2m4 has them on his shop. -

Is it fair to list Flicking Cuntstain twice? Actually yes it is...😁 If you look at Airsoft GI and (unrelated) Linus Tech Tips and how they developed over the years it should give you confidence to carry on and grow, but as said - take the advice on board... And if following the LTT route - get a hot Asian pharmacist wife (with an even hotter sister) to bank roll you for a few years LOL.

Dan Robinson replied to Jaylordofwaargh's topic in Electric Guns
Yep, grip needs to come off. Also, I found on my boy's m16, you need a fair bit of force to get the rear of the gearbox past the back of the receiver. On my Specna, it slid out nicely. Beware of the spring tension too. -
Tried to find the Marylin Monroe droid clip, but this was the best I could get...

Yeah I saw those vids, a week after I got it LOL. But then you get the recent threads here with people criticising brands that others have had no bother with so a lot comes down to pot luck and personal experience. There's a few Rapax users at my regular fields and they are happy with them. NA also did a vid a few weeks after I got my Cyma SVU, and he was far from complimentary about that gun too. Go figure 😅😅😅. To be honest, as long as I get close to what I need to get it's replacement I'd be happy.

Macks airsoft dreamers of the week thread
Dan Robinson replied to Mack's topic in General Discussion
Looks like I picked the wrong night to quit being a clever dick. -
Have uploaded some pics. Discovered a couple of small scratches where the pressure pad was for the laser, which I decided to take off as it was pointless really.

Ooohhh. They must be a different set to my last pair... Thanks for the heads up.

Not sure if I class as having a narrow head, but I have used these for a while and they are a snug fit with excellent antifog. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/353954229136 Lenses are not interchangeable, but they do different types.

Best worst airsoft accesoires
Dan Robinson replied to Smiling-Dutchman's topic in Guns, Gear & Loadouts
Had that a few weeks ago, but the other way round which was a bit sneaky - Blue team had a couple of players wearing red gloves. -
Decided that although I love the gun, it is too long (arf) and I much prefer bullpups. Will put some pics up in a bit, but it's only been run 4 or 5 times, has original box, 7 mid cap mags. Gun is in very good condition with only a few rub marks where the stock has been taken on and off for battery changes. Was £530 new in December with 2 mags, then 5 extra mags were another £75. It currently has a bipod and 3-9x scope with laser and holographic sight on it which were another £160 when new - these can be sold with it, or not. Thoughts would be appreciated.

Macks airsoft dreamers of the week thread
Dan Robinson replied to Mack's topic in General Discussion
My brother is an audiophile like few others - even designed his own turntable with air cushioned arm that remained parallel to the grooves on the vinyl. A fraction of his Beatles collection bought him a racing tuned E-type from the US... Any who he had me helping him run copper speaker cables under his music room floor - which took fecking hours because of the construction. When we got the last run of it through he realised it was the wrong way round. Took even longer to extricate the stuff and put it in the right way. Apparently its the way the copper is extruded LOL. Whilst think it was a load of boolacks, to be fair to him he can tell the difference between different pressings of records, and his music system is pretty impressive. Can I interest sir in a bespoke unit? 😎 -
Newbie just a thanks for adding me
Dan Robinson replied to Jeff1969's topic in New Players & Arrivals
I have a "work from home on Mondays" policy. Easily enforced as I'm my own boss; and by god do I need it. Thankfully though, the more I play, the shorter the recovery time has become. -
Welcome! From my perspective, spending £150 on a brand new M4 (Specna Edge C12 was mine) will give you something easily and cheaply upgraded to be a solid backstop for when you grow your collection and get the eventual problems we have all experienced. Keep it stock internally until either it has proven itself to you or the warranty has gone.

I agree a reply should be sent.... But bear in mind we don't know how people's lives run. I've been off the forum for a few weeks due to work and family; so there might well be a valid reason. But having contributed in a professional capacity of forums giving advice to people, it was very annoying when an answer was given potentially saving someone thousands of pounds, and there wasn't ever a thanks given (which was all we were ever after).

Double Eagle M904g – Aka the Original Q Honey Badger
Dan Robinson replied to mightyjebus's topic in AEG/GBBR Reviews
Me too, but it is a struggle to get my 1300mah in there. Hey ho - a struggle means it is possible 😁 -
The 'How Did Your Airsoft Day Go? Thread
Dan Robinson replied to Skara's topic in General Discussion
As part of my promise to get him to as many fields as we can before he leaves, the boy and I were there yesterday too. Was very impressed by the safe zone and the Marshalls. Struggled with the morning games which I am putting down to not knowing the map, and suffering a few technical issues (one of his AEG's was firing whilst in safe mode and without pulling the trigger, which I think is a dodgy mosfet) and my Double Eagle was more a Splatter Gun than a rifle. There were a couple of teenagers "shooting a video" which was their excuse for being thoroughly annoying by playing music during the game play, but I managed to keep out of their way for most of the day. Really enjoyed the last game as our team had to get a stretcher with kings hats on it, across the majority of the map with the Blue team, I assume, on a rolling retreat. My Specna was on form shooting nice and straight, but not as far as liked. Was pretty impressive to see the food van clearing the queue, and this was the biggest number I've seen on a gameday at one event too. We should be going back to AP for the two day event at the end of the month, although I'm not sure how my legs will cope. I have a thermal camera for work ,so that will make night ops an interesting one - although I'm a little worried about the lens LOL. Had a god day at Reforger the other week too, although I didn't get many kills. I nearly put an end to my chances of being a grandfather when I lobbed a smoke grenade to cover the Boy's final sprint to the objective (suicide bombing the plane) only for it to land short - right between his legs and nearly cauterised his family jewels. It's a shame we're out of sync with our regular sites' gamedays, but once SWMBO has fecked off for the summer I can sneak in extra days - but mum's the word on that one 😁.
