Must admit I'd prefer the PTS stock over the one on the gun... Shame I couldn't take it out this weekend, but the boy wants to switch to two weekends on, two off so we can stick with both AWA and Spec Ops. SWMBO hasn't noticed the new box in the garage so far.

Not planning on running too much with the M7 - the fecking grip might fall off again let alone the sodding mags ?????? Right off to bed - have to be in Wembley and sensible for 8am tomorrow.

Hope your friend pulls through his situation dude. Financial awareness is something that is severely lacking from our education system, coupled with susceptibility to peer pressure and you have a very dangerous concoction. Thankfully for us we have reached peaked space constraints now, so no more pews after this evenings' acquisition. Now I just wish my customers would collectively pay the tens of thousands I'm owed so I can pay everyone else LOL. This game is a good release for both me and the boy from the day to day grind, and I hope it remains thus for everyone else. As you say, it's only a game, do no more than you need to have fun playing it; and balls to everyone else who try to make it otherwise.

Still not had a chance to get my Specna sent off to repair, so am stuck running DMR and pistols. So I needed a back up AEG. Also had a hankering for burst fire mode for some reason I can't quite think of. Didn't want to spend a lot either as I have a lot of house related out goings to come in the next 6 months. Considering using it as a secondary with my M7, which should be out for the weekend too (yay); although the 904 is longer than my Specna when collapsed. The boy has his long guns, but I don't like the running around game style with them. I am hoping that the batteries we have will fit in the stock, but I'm not adverse to a bit of gaffer tape if needed. I tried the links to the Thingiverse, from @mightyjebus, but the links are not working now. The 11.1v compatibility was an interest as well for CQB, assuming it lifts the ROF a little. So basically, it ticked a lot of boxes and was in budget. Otherwise, I would be looking at an L85A3 or a project - which I don't have the time or money for.

Well shitballs.... Just ordered the M904G for the weekend along with a cheeky little red dot to go with a magnifier I picked up on the cheap the other weekend. Hopefully SWMBO won't notice gun number 12 sneaking its merry way into the family. Jesus, the boy and I have only been doing this a little over a year. I blame you lot. Correction.... Gun 13... Hopefully won't be unlucky.

I've been using this for the last few games: https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00W5OJB3Q/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o04_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Can be positioned more or less where you want it on the MOLLE. I bit uncomfortable with the M7, but my dinky Specna is just right. But then I often detach it when actively pewing.

All that and no Tamya to Deans adapter? ?????

I counted three times - as well as getting that Youtuber guy who thought it was a sniper that stood behind you. ???? The afternoon was much better than the morning, and it was very tempting to shoot those busy-bodies filming from the footpath. I suspect Carlos will have to erect a safety net around the perimeter if he wants to continue with that site.

My man's ghillie suit needs a bit more work too.

Thanks for the advice chaps. Got a call today to say the fix has been done, and so far no mention of a charge - so that's good if it stays that way. Not sure if they're reading the forums ? Of course the repair itself has to hold - apparently it's just the screws coming lose again and the gearbox side of it is fine. So - looks like this will turn into a positive thread instead of a moaning one - which is always a good thing. ?

Who the fck is Alice? Sorry.

Hello peeps.... Had a frustrating conversation with the airsoft shop today... Took the Rapax M7 I bought at the start of December in because the pistol grip had come loose - again. The day I first brought it home, the grip came off completely, and it was evident that the 4 screws had been stripped in the factory. Took it back the next day and said that I had tried to put them back in, but it didn't look good. Shop tech rather abruptly said I might have voided my warranty; but took it out the back and did something to it. I was given the gun back and no charge etc. Scroll forward to last week and the gun's 4th time out, and the handle goes all loosie goosy again; so dropped it back to the shop. Tech guy half pretended he didn't remember the gun and started waffling on about it might only have two screws which isn't enough for a gun that heavy, or I might have been holding to wrong, but would have a look. Phoned this afternoon to see if there was any chance it was ready for tomorrow, to be told it might be outside the warranty period, and that either way it might not be covered. I told matey boy firmly, but politely that it would be under warranty and that it was the same fault the gun was sold with. To whit, he said it would be looked at on Monday and that they'll get back to me. Won't name them just yet as it might turn out to be a nothing-burger; but "welcome to airsoft" memes aside; do these merchants realistically think they can get away defining their own Consumer Rights Act by stating a two month warranty? I can understand limited warranties on batteries and gears, but not the structural integrity of the gun itself. Various terms spring to mind: An unreasonable contract is an unenforceable contract. These [consumer] rights effectively overrule any warranty and guarantee for the product As an aside, Patrol Base were excellent recently when the boy's L85 shit the house. They sent a returns label with no questions asked after I sent them a video of the gun sounding like a strangled cat and not feeding properly. Turned out to be a simple motor height issue and the hop. All sorted and sent back in around a week FOC and a good 4 months after they sold the pew. I was expecting and willing to pay for the shipping, but they covered the lot. Tah in Advance!

Was looking at those this evening... The boy wanted to do a DMR build, so might use that as an excuse to learn how to build a gearbox from a donor seeing as we have a perfectly good aeg box in it now.... Just change spring and boxes out to change roles. Then of course need to learn more about motors and interactions with voltages. God damn this hobby ?

Does strike me as odd that being shot at seems such an issue. As for breaking fingers at more than 20m with a BB... assuming I read that correctly? I smell some bullshit frankly. Either that or medical attention should be sought immediately after selling all your kit. There's some severe osteoporosis going on there. @AirSniper, From your description your running the Lebanon, not an airsoft field. Grow a pair, or grow sone lovely flowers instead.

Yeah, that's what he was hoping for... But he'll be in school by then LOL OOH Forgot about that one. Will have a gander tomorrow.

The boy wants to go on a big blow out airsoft weekend before he moves away some time in early/mid August. Does anyone know of anything? Not necessarily looking for Milsim, but something he can get his fill with as it could be his last game for a year. Near to the home counties would be nice, but I don't kinda drive. Tah in advance.

Looks like it's going off to Cage anyway. I can't get the damn thing back together without it jamming up. Two teeth are missing from the spur gear, and 3 are missing from the Sector gear. 2 of them were already broken as I picked them out when I got it open. Not sure if shortening the Tappet spring caused it, but ce la vie. Might buy myself a boneyard gearbox to practice with instead of my main AEG's ?.

Yep it was @Tuton, so browny points and extra thanks to him ? Nothing to lose I suppose LOL.

I'm feeling very pleased with myself..... Tappet spring snapped.... Now where to find one? For reference, and because it should get here in time for the weekend.... https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/314285046327?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=OlkWCNwaRSW&sssrc=2349624&ssuid=tna5mbwtskm&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY Now the cat is out of the bag.... I'm thinking new cylinder head as the seal seems a little disappointing. FFS what have I started?

That's what I was afraid of.... Not done that before so not really sure what I'd be looking for. Took my Rapax into the shop in Stevenage this afternoon as its under warranty.... One of the guys in the tech room opened a gearbox as I walked in, only to see a spring shoot straight out of said box and launch itself clean across the room LOL. Tried to take a picture of the inside of the cylinder but it's next to impossible. ?. Will have a look around You Tube to get some tips. Then I'll call Cage to give it an overhaul. LOL.

Not sure if I'm going in the right direction, but I've changed the hop unit and have much more punch down the barrel, so there was a seal problem of some kind. But there is still the same feeding issue. Not totally convinced by the new hop unit itself though as it came with a small tear on the down-barrel end on the bucking, and the nub lever seems too long as if it was forming its own nub. So I'll put the maple leaf and omega nub back in the box for now.... Can always trim the lever down a tad if needed. Anyway, did a couple of slow motion shots and it seems like the nozzle isn't always pushing forward: Sorry for the grubby fingers. That being said if I cycle the piston with careful use of the trigger, the nozzle is freely moving when the piston is retracted. End of the nozzle looks OK to me too, but then what do I know? Also have a spring left over that came with the hop. Presumably for a different type of pew? Thanks again for the advice.

I was wondering how freely the nozzle should move. I don't remember it being lose that's for sure. Looks like the goodies are coming tomorrow so when I get home from work/dropping the Rapax back at the shop because the pistol grip came lose again; I'll take it apart again and see. I'm assuming the nozzle is supposed to move freely assuming the piston is retracted?

Rightio... Here is a linky to the video of the pew. Took the barrel off and fired at a piece of blue roll, and I think it is OK on the cylinder and nozzle end. Next test was to get a BB in the hop, hold my finger over the magazine receiver hole, then fire. Got a decent shot off every time. Leading me to think its the seal between hop and mag - or perhaps, the nozzle and hop? Have ordered a new CNC hop up from Rocket Airsoft, and whilst I was at it, a new bucking and nub from @ak2m4 . Double checked the barrel seal to the existing Specna Hop and it was fine. On a different topic - perhaps @ak2m4can help here - thinking of upgrading the spring in my Rapax do you know what is in there from the factory? Dude at AWA said he'd changed his to an M110.. Do you have the right on in your shop? Cheers in advance!

JAL UK must have been forced to use emails because Faxes are rarer here LOL. I'm guessing that is JAL check your bags in, it's down to you and UK authorities after that as the bags are effectively sealed at check in. Sounds like you should be OK. We've just booked our tickets for the next trip - Christmas again for me, the boy is moving permanently some time in August. Poor lad wanted to go to the two day festival at the end of August, but I think he will be packed off sooner - guess I'll have to keep his RIFs well exercised in the interim :D.

Will do that... Might have to be done in stages. Have a mad week with work, plus SWMBO is flying back at silly O'clock Thursday morning so have to hide our arsenal that she doesn't know has built up over the last year ? One thing springs to mind, is that the gearbox locked up and I freed it by releasing the anti reversal latch through the motor housing... Pretty sure the problem had already occurred by that point though, and the gun does cycle and operate OK visually with a decent puff of air coming out of the nozzle when the barrel is taken off.
