Looks like they are either screws in the gearbox with threaded heads, or captive nuts (I didn't look too closely). I'll get a gameday out of it then take it back to the shop for a proper fix. The actual screws that hold the grip to those have the last 5 threads eaten away, but at least not crossed. Bit crazy for a £500+ gun/toy 🤣

That's what I told him when he was moaning, as only teenagers do. He does like his DPM stuff though.

That's making me a sad Panda 😢. Looks like some of the screws holding the grip to the gearbox have been stripped during assembly. Would think an easy fix.

Have to say I was pretty impressed with his effort here. Bought himself an L85, and all the kit, not sure of the suitability of him sewing on some badges though. He's getting a SUSAT scope at Christmas to round it off.

Nearly bumped into you then. Looks like they had a successful day all in all because I went in to pick up the boy's M16 after they fixed its mashed gearbox, and see what they could do with my SVU. Bumped into the person that domed me at AWA last week. Anyway, as per my other thread. The sadness felt at the demise of the SVU resulted in the purchase of this: Which rather annoyingly, the grip has just separated itself from the fecking reciever. 😨

Looks interesting, but don't think it will... The broken bit on mine is on the lower reciever. In the photos you can see the bit of metal I'm thinking of getting machined. Hopefully we can make it such that it grips just below where my finger is. In other news: Bipod is on with the foregrip.... Shitty ACOG is there as a placeholder until the other scope arrives this afternoon.... Have another coming tomorrow then we'll take a vote on which to keep.

I have a few thoughts on how to remount it, but I want to avoid drilling/permanently cementing the housing if possible. Bipod and first-draft scope coming tomorrow for the Rapax so looking forward to having a tinker in the garden before the boy comes back from Army Cadet camp and sees what I've been up to on my weekend alone LOL. Shot the side of a hot water tank with it today and am very glad we have MED on sites... 'cos that made one hell of a dent in what was quite a thick sheet of copper. Don't have anything I would risk filming a game with, but got some pretty good pictures from the Halloween shoot at AWA:

Hi folks, been a busy few months with work and life, but still been pewing regularly. Had a bit of a disaster with my SVU, snapping off the little bit of metal that holds the scope on. Happened when placing it down mid game to switch to my M4 - which had managed to slip its outer barrely a suppressor without me noticing either (thankfully found those on the walk back to the safe zone). So the SVU needs either a new receiver - which I can't find anywhere; or machining a new bit of metal that will enable the scope to grip the gun a bit lower down. Gggrrr..... By way of therapy, I bought myself a new Pew in the form of a Rapax XXI M7. But of course it doesn't end there..... New battery needed, extra mags needed, new scope (although oddly my shitty ACOG seems to work pretty well with it), bi-pod, Mlocks and mag pouches. God dammit! Only meant to spend £300..... Now I'm over £700 in the hole and still need to fix the SVU 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 SWMBO is going to go nuts when she comes home in hte New Year to discover all these new guns (the Boy bought himself an L85 and complete Afghan loadout) Tried a couple of new sites - Skirmish Wycombe and Skirmish Billericay, both a good laugh, but a bit of a trek. Brother and Nephew are coming to a day next week at AWA which should be a laugh. Nephew shot my lad in the eye the other day with a Nerf gun, so he is out for revenge.... My bother is not the most outdoorsy of people, but gives everything 110% so that should be a laugh. Anyway - hope you're all keeping well?

He was cool in the film Chappie. 👍

You've got a bit of a "Watkin Tudor Jones Jr" vibe going on in that last one. 🤣

Wearing the finest tights I hope? 😂

Indeed - especially after your recent celebrations for Treason Day. Welcome aboard and we hope you have a sense of humour. Look forward to hearing a different perspective on things. 👍😁

Oooohhhh - Just found my old "Funny Pics Folder". Some of these go back 20 years or more.

Strikes me that much of the Airsoft selling machine has a very odd take on Distance Selling regulations and Consumer Rights.

Why do they always have to photo their trainers?

With SWMBO or out of the country I have access to a Louise Viton.... The DMR of handbags. Pucker up beeatch, and I'll Amber Heard you. 😜

Gotta clean it first 🤣

I was paranoid about it bursting so chickened out.

Been a long time since I've been on two wheels and they were always Japanese. That does look pretty though. Hope you enjoy it. 👍

Just remember... In the winter well all be moaning about the cold, the wet, and how our gas pews don't shoot further than dog can piss. Hydration is the key.

Reminds me of the time that SWMBO left the boy unattended with a catering sized tub of E45 cream..... Have a picture somewhere LOL Yep.... Looks about right 🤣🤣🤣

It's a proper one bought for the job. It came with a couple of replacement protectors, but to buy replacements costs more than the entire sheet of lexan, which can be used for multiple purposes.

I've bought lexan sheets on ebay and cut my own lens protectors for the scopes I and the boy have. Doesn't take long. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/164352705597?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=I4aYgJ4XT5K&sssrc=2349624&ssuid=vIhnknhNSsO&var=463965821066&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY I file them so that they have a good friction fit. I've had direct hits to them with no damage to either the lexan or the lens. Once was whilst I was looking down the scope.... Which was a bit of a shock. I have bought a pop up one for my red dots, but when that gets damaged I can make a lexan replacement to go in the holder.

I hope I wasn't being snarky.... I was aiming for mobile phone brevity. 😜

Just noticed he got three out of those four. Smug fucker.
