On doing some forensic analysis, I've had to file mine a bit both on the outside at the top, to get it into the G36 magwell, and also inside to get STANAG mags to go in without using Thor's hammer. I may also have run a rat-tail file up the BB tube as it's a little kinky as stock.
Thanks for the pointers, hopefully I'll have the G36 by wednesday which should give me time to iron out any kinks before sundays game.

And another little bundle of kit just came in the door!
6600 .28s, a dump pouch for my black kit setup, and a mk23 holster for my sniperwanker loadout

Do you mean the tip rather than the main body?

kinda want a drop leg holster
They look cool but I could not get on with one at all, found it incredibly uncomfortable and ditched it halfway through my first game day.
YMMV of course! But I'd recommend not spending a fortune on a drop leg set up (or anything else) until you're sure it's for you.

Looks like a perfect starter set up to me 👍
As above another mag or two for your primary gun will come in handy, and good ankle support is essential (some sites won't even let you on without it, reading between the lines they've seen too many people with twisted and sprained ankles).
What will happen is that after a game or two you'll figure out what works for you and what doesn't, so don't sweat about buying more kit until then.

Funny that people don't feel the same way about sending money to American or Chinese companies whenever their respective governments gun down a minibus full of kids, assassinate some journalists or harvest organs from prisoners. Nor for that matter did anyone seem to be all that bothered about buying Russian kit in the aftermath of Georgia and Chechnya. We've had a hand in demolishing a few countries ourselves in the last few decades.
Let's not get carried away with framing this as a moral choice, or implying some kind of treason or direct contribution to whatever misery the Russian government is inflicting at this moment.
If people want to draw a line with where they spend their own money then fair enough - personally I don't buy anything from Amazon, but I'm not going to judge people who do.
On a practical level you'd have to be nuts to try and mail order Russian replica firearms parts at the moment.
But it sounds like some people are a few newspaper headlines away from burning their cyma ak74s at the moment and it's all a bit silly and hypocritical imo.

I now have a JG G36C on the way... but before I splurge on a bunch of mags for it, does anyone have any experience with this M4 mag adaptor that came up during a search?

It'd be bloody handy if I could use my existing M4 mags.

I'm all about the hi-caps tbh, even though that's not 'cool'.
If you don't do milsims and you don't mind sounding like a rogue pair of maracas I'd go hi-cap.

The last game enjoyed the 25min rest we managed to have ha ha. How they didn't spot me on that final push I have no idea.
Were you on the right flank with me and a few others in the holly bushes?
We had that nicely sewn up 😎Basically did to them what they did to us in the first game!

Nice, remember to get it up to about 1.4J, point-black folk in the teeth with 0.45g, then say "Stop whining, cheater, it's only a pistol."
Havent chronod it yet but had a few test shots with it at work, even with .25s it feels quite punchy!
Don't think I'll be doing any power mods...

With how desperate I am for one I am actually quite tempted...
Well that's it isn't it? They may be less new In theory, but *can* you find a new one?
I paid a bit over the odds for a 2nd hand m4 gas block off ebay a few months ago, they were just unobtainable anywhere else.

Just got a Mk23 delivered this morning, step 2 on my journey to becoming another cliche sniperwanker

Lol for some reason I ended up on this thread and posted a reply before I saw how old it was, tried to delete the post but it wouldn't let me.

Right, so I wanted a picture of the FAL bull pup mentioned in that last section, and I found it.
I rather wish I hadn't, it's melted my eyeballs and dissolved my brain

There was once such a device on the market, but don't ask me what it was called or who made it.
Regardless, it's a terrible idea.
Not only is it an unnecessary fire hazard, and not only would it necessitate having both a charged magazine and an open barrel thus introducing a risk of debris being fired at cast and crew, it still won't look as good as muzzle flash added in post (which I've seen VFX people saying is extremely easy), or indeed as realistic as just not having muzzle flash at all. Good interaction with props by the actors and well thought out foley will do far more for realism that a huge fireball coming out of the muzzle, which it bears repeating is very rare to see in real life.

Well, today's game at Reforger turned into a bit of an impromptu AFUK day out.
Arranged to meet up with @GAMBLE and Ramon (sorry dude, I can't remember your forum name!), then before the morning brief we bumped into @Floperatorand @Keldon
Was a great day, slightly marred by some dickish behaviour from the other team. For example Gamble getting full auto in the back of the neck at very close range, Ramon getting full auto in the goggles while he had his hand up (Marshall witnessed this and went ballistic), but otherwise a really fun day at a great site, with a bunch of tossers I would definitely play with again.
Yep, great day out. Did you get any video?
I'll definitely be making Reforger my regular venue, at least while the weather is so good. Could do with some more covered area in the safe zone, but the regulars seemed to have it figured out with folding chairs and tables so they could work out of their cars.
Marshal staff seemed to be pretty on the ball, and the free bottled water was very welcome.
On a personal level I had a good time with my kit setup, everything was comfortable (those mesh gillie suits are great) and worked for me, and I didn't have any technical issues. The second battery for the M4 ran out in literally the last 10 seconds of the last game just as the other team rushed our position in a mad last charge - cue a mad scrabble at my holster and some panicky pistol fire 🙃

Get some wd40 around it and let it seep into the threads for a little while. Then sometimes a few sharp taps with a screwdriver handle or small hammer can free up the part, and when you go to undo it, a slight move to tighten first before changing direction to unscrew it.

Really hard to get a consensus on this kind of question, airsoft seems to be a very chaotic industry. Quality Control ebbs and flows, and half of it is rebadged, copied or stolen.
Fwiw I got a Lancer gen2 M4 as my entry level gun based purely on looks, price and the spiel on Patrol Base, and while it isn't *amazing* by any stretch of the imagination, it hasn't let me down so far.
I think a good rule of thumb is to look at what the sites are handing out as rental guns - chances are they're reliable enough, which is the best you can hope for really.
