I was given some blank firing reps a while back, someone i knew found them in the loft while having a clear out. So i contacted kent plod, cos i dont like blank guns anyway but i wanted to know if they wanted to take them. The guy on the chat bot thing must have had a heart failure when i said i had two peacemaker type things and an AK looking rep. Well, i say AK looking rep, if you got a 7 year old to draw an AK, thats what it looked like..... So plod turn up, the first bloke, nice enough as he was had ABSOLUTELY no idea what he was looking for and was just there to wait for the ARU that was on its way. After a cuppa and a chat, the ARU lads turned up, had a look, told me they were fine (albeit they looked down the gas tube of the AK, which kinda made me chuckle) and i could keep them. I didnt want them. NEITHER DID THEY!!! LOL. SO i did the only thing i could think of and gave them to the site i play at so they could either use them in a game or cut them up into scrap. Still got the ring door bell shot somewhere of the two ARU guys with very nice Glocks, standing at my door.

I now have two RIF's running brushless, both 27k warheads. One is in my G3 stumpy and one is in my P90. (one was in my AUG but its not well at the moment and i thought i'd have a change up) One of the better moves in my tinkering career. I made a thread up where i was very much on the fence, like yourself. Have to say, i like the speed, longevity and the fact that it has more technology in it than the rest of the rif. Especially handy in the P90 as theres bugger all space for a battery and now ive added the M4 mag adapter, its effectively a support weapon...

ADVENTURES OF BEING A BORN AGAIN BIKER...... Dropped it. Not in a lobbed it down the road way, i literally missed my footing on laid it down on its side. I developed superhuman strength and lifted it back on to the rubber bits. Then spent three weeks sporting several strains and pulled things. HOLY CRAP theyre heavy. Then i went out for a ride, started fishtailing down a hill, towards a junction as there was diesel all over the road after a split fuel tank had covered the road. SHAT MA PANTS.... Still. All good fun...

What have i just bought? hmm. Whilst on "holiday" in cornwall, we decided to go and find an airsoft shop. BR airsoft was found. went for a visit (great chap in there and very nice little shop too) and bought some of these CO2 granades, Hakkotsu apparently. Uses a CO2bulb and a plastic bottle to cause an ear splitting POP. I get that im probably about 3 years late to the party, as usual, but these are absolutely hilarious. Tempted to fill with bb's and/or baby powder... Got the 20+ year old TM G36C up and running, although i dont think i'll be skirmishing it anytime soon. Its a bit of a lump.

@Baser I was speaking to Jon, the site owner about getting some of the other game areas up and running again as the site is massive and they only use about 1/10 of it! If you look on the map by the punch bag, there's an area called "jeep". That's a killer cos its more hills but a damn good game. The medical was a guy with the onset of heat stroke apparently. all sorted though. The Marshalls are pretty good at sorting stuff like that. Me and my two boys were supposed to go up but i got the teenage whine and no one ended up going, but at some point in the next two weeks I'm making damn sure to get down there!!! You been up to his shop yet in fawkham/brands?

OOOOhhhhh, that striker.... ?

Other than the poonami colour, the stubby little m904 got an extension! Need to check it on my chrono and repaint it in Q colours but I like that. The foregrip is hideous though ?

Cheers for the offer @BigAlbut I think I've Frankensteined it. The cm16 looks a bit odd but it's only for when the kids bring a mate along, so I'm not too worried. The m904g probably needs a new classification now though. ?? Just a bit of rattle can and that'll look the nuts. Thanks for the guidance (again!). I'll get the hang of this tech malarkey eventually ??? Now, where's my cigars.....?

Definitely showing my age there ?? Between that and the "Ooooh Geordie" tango advert....ahh Thems were the days! ??

Cheers Lozart, that's kinda what I was after. The OEM stuff I was referring to is the bits that people take off and fit the Carlos Fandango version. ? I'll buy something shortly and see if I can't ruin a perfectly good rif. ??

So... My DE M904G. Shes awesome in every way. Only i'd like to make her longer. Size envy, if you will. Its a man thing. So, having scoured the ads on here a LOT, i have come to the conclusion i have no clue what im doing. Gearboxes? fine. barrels and hops? yup, all good. Handguards? ooooh dear. no clues. So the DE badger has a little nut that, when you turn it, expands, locking the handguard in place (mostly) then theres 4 little stealth screws that, once youve painted your rif, become nigh on impossible to notice, causing much irritation... My questions are these.... Can i fit a longer handguard from anything? assuming i need the "nut" as well? Longer outer barrels should fit the receiver and do up with the original nut? Obviously its going to need a longer INNER barrel, that bit i can do without confusing myself. Where is all the OEM stuff hiding after everyone has fitted a daniel defence doodah with bells and whistles? (who is daniel, and why does the man need so much stuff to defend himself????) I'm guessing its going to need the dremel and some thinking.......

Just a quick update and a glimmer of hope to those who worry about doing stuff to aeg's, I had about 30% confidence in this m4 but we took it out on Saturday to a skirmish and other than one of the mags playing up and not feeding properly, it worked a treat. Went through chrono fine as the spring had settled and enough hop on a 0.28g to be decently accurate. Happy days. On to the g36....?

Well today I finally got to have a decent look at the TM G36C that I got a while ago. Love the fact that it still has the "heavy weight" 0.25's in the packet and the bag of "don't shoot the dog" documents. It shoots, it's probably ok as a cqb, it has a torch holder on the right hand side so I think it's done most of its work indoors. I think this is from around 2000ish. ??

People not selling the exact part I need so I have to go back to looking for really weird bits for my broken pews. ? (Although to be fair I'm slowly depleting Mr huttarmouries pile of bits ??)
