Mine short stroked itself after messing around with some bigger springs. The last tooth of the sector gear came off and I found it in my piston head.... Back up to power again but after I finished laughing I was a bit concerned. Seems ok now though....

Found a young YouTuber called trung the builder and he had a mk23 that he cut down to make it (almost) a USP... So I thought I'd have a go at it ...it's still a prototype at the mo...but you can see how short it is from the shadow board behind it....😁👍

I did a thing....😁👍

Morning all (hey, its morning somewhere in the world!) My boy has a raven G17. Nice little pew. Skirmished it a fair bit and its been pretty flawless. We stripped it and gave it a funky paint job too. We bought an extended 50 round mag for it and away we went. Blasting all and sundry. However.....he's come back to me saying that the top slide isn't fully reseating and resetting the trigger. You have to physically push it the last 3-4mm and you can hear the thing reset. One, two or three shots later it does it again. I've stripped it, cleaned it,lubed it and then done it again. And again. Swapped to his standard 25 round mag and it seems ok. If i dont push the extended mag home all the way, its fine, which kinda makes me think that the nozzle/frame is catching on the gas router on the extended mag. Ive measured them both out of the maga and theyre IDENTICAL!!! go figure.. My questions are these.... Can i trim the router? how? does anyone know of a similar issue? (the aap01 thread covered it breifly but no real joys) Lube? silicone grease/oil/dry/axle grease? It fits his AAP01 and works flawlessly. which is odd. DADTECH is running out of ideas... LOL.

So.... I may have been bitten by the honey badger... I love mine so much that I've downloaded the handbook from Q in the US to get the colours right when I paint/cerakote it... 😁 Then, being the daft bugger I am, I emailed Q to ask if u could copy the Q and the "live free or die" logos. Kevin from Q (the owner!) emailed me back with hi res pictures of it and told me if I was ever in the neighbourhood to come over and have a blast with the real 300 blackout... What a gent!!

Welcome to the rabbit hole... Hope you don't like having savings.. 🤣 Lots of great people in here who will help you out. 👍

Just to close this out, as I can't stand threads that have no solution posted, I opened up the silencer to find bb shavings... 🤔 So, engineer mode ON... found a bit of 16mm copper pipe, cut it to size to fit snugly in the suppressor, wrapped the barrel with enough tape to centre it and slid the copper over the barrel. Nice and snug. On a side note, sounds really weird now with the diy outer barrel 😂😂 All good now. Thanks guys n gals. Much appreciated. 👍

Thanks for the help. The suppressor has a lh thread one end and rh thread the other. I'm using the lh thread and everything seems to line up OK. It's on tight well as tight as it gets with a lh/rh thread thing going on🤣)

Evening all. Got a bit of an odd thing going on... The DE honey badger that I use has an extended barrel (+70mm) and I'm using a suppressor to protect it. However... When firing recently I've noticed that the bb's are being random. If I remove the silencer they're fine (0.28's).barrel is clean, gun is well maintained. Im thinking that because the barrel stops short inside the suppressor it's doing some odd air "not escaping and crashing around inside the suppressor" sort of thing. I'm right at the top of my fps/j on 0.28's at 292fps so longer barrel is right out. Thinking maybe a tube around the outer of the inner barrel might help.... Any thoughts?

Mate of mine went into paddock waaaaay too fast and ended up with his foot by his head. It true biker style the first words out of his mouth.. "is the bike alright".. 🤣 My dad's had both knees done, 3 months and he's back to normal. Its hereditary so I imagine I'll be in the same boat, so I'm taking notes... 😳😁

So, the local nail bar had a refurbishment job and slung out a load of coated 18mm mdf... Myself and my two boys have a few pews, so a plan formed pretty fast... 18mm mdf is VERY heavy. Lol. Got the boys to drill and hold things, life skills and all that. The plan is to outline the guns in a cod zombies way and put the question marks on the storage box like they mystery (aka the jingly) box. Need some shelves to put mags and chargers but not bad for a grand total of £20. 😁

I was going with the desert cowboy look... 🤣🤣

Dad's and their kids eh? 😂 I'm the same. Mate of mine got us into it (he's currently at some massive weekend gig with 3000 other like minded nutters) and now me and both my boys are into it. So much so that the kids games "room" is slowly being converted into an armoury!! I've bought a couple of second hand guns and stripped them down, sorting out what I can, so that I'm now jealous of the youngest (9!!!) and his Mp5sd!!! I don't run, I think of it as tactical walking. Knee pads are a really good idea!!! Don't get bogged down with "everything must be perfect" type clothes, unless you're wearing a guantanamo Bay orange overall, most things blend in with your surroundings. 🤣👍 Oh and don't accidentally shoot your boy as he's ventured too far ahead as he'll never let you forget it.. 😂😂 Call your hits and love every daft second of it. 👍👍

Lol, I'm working on it. 🤣🤣

"standing in the rabbit hole looking up....." Now on pew #6.... Honey badger, m4 (boys), m58 shotgun, Mp5sd (other boys!) , mp5, mk23+gofasterbits, m92f, glock 17... Loving it....

Sorry for the bump but has anyone managed to get a battery compartment extension for this yet? I don't want to damage my cables anymore. I've removed the spring loaded stock opening doodad which gives a bit more room but another 30-40mm would help....

Ah, a bakery dweller! Modicon plc? Good lord!!!

Yup. 25 years industrial maintenance engineer and I hate house wiring. ESPECIALLY plumbing wiring. Bleurch. Gimme a 3 phase or inverter any day!! Nice panel by the way Dan. Tidy. 👍

Good points made by all. Interesting read on ASG too. I'm fairly new to the game and had no idea really, hence the question. 😁 Makes sense that they don't break down completely unless "composted" properly and I can't see many sites running around with a vacuum cleaner picking them up from the woods 😂😂😂 I work in the food industry and that wastes a shed load of money/time/plastic, it just doesn't sit right sometimes. (watches ring doorbell for greta visits.....)

Morning team. Heard a comment at my last skirmish about bio Bb's and I thought I'd ask the collective. Game was stopped as someone got a shattered bb in the eye through some mesh, I heard a guy say that the bio degradable bb's can shatter. I have searched but maybe my search terms were off a bit but I like to use them, considering we throw a lot into the woods (some even hit their target😂) and 40 odd players lobbing a kilo of plastic balls each is going to get greta thunderbug on a mission.... So, for the semi noob in me, do they? Are they bad news? I don't need guilt for blinding someone cos I was trying to do my bit.... 😎👍

Sorry to bump a month old one but it's about tools and I like tools. 😂 Grab yourself a decent set of wire strippers too, if you're doing a few connections. I have some rs ones that have survived about 10 years. I'll dig out the number in a bit. It's better than using side cutters (although I'm a sparky, so still use them a lot) and makes sure your 1.5mm cable is still 1.5 and not 1.3ish when you accidentally stri off strands. 👍

Ooh, that's interesting. Glad you posted this as its about 2 miles from where I live (near brands hatch). Might look it up. 👍 Thanks.

Well. It's been eventful! R4 is dead. Tappet snapped and they appear to be held by unicorns as they're quite difficult to find... The boy now has an m4 variant (340ft/s out if the box!) and the honey badger now at 351ft/s. Yay! Took him and two of his mates yesterday to apocalypse airsoft in Maidstone and I think they now have the bug too!! Boy had a bit of a moment when the smoke he was pulling got caught on his glove and burned his finger but they sorted him out and he's still as enthusiastic as ever! I may have inadvertently purchased an m58b shotgun while I was there too, you know, "just for emergencies"... 😉😁

Well, we did it. Spent the day running around like nutters and shooting people 😂 I'm knackered but what a laugh. Honey badger needs a bit more oomph and I'd get more kills throwing my pistol at people rather than actually shooting it at them.🤣🤣 Game, as they say ON. 😎👍

Cheers for the warm welcome guys. Much appreciated. Have landed a cheap and cheerful mp7 (R4?) by accident, that needs new batteries so job 1 will be looking at the utterly massive world of what will fit and what not to get. 😁 I'm an engineer so taking things to bits is the easy bit. 🤣 The amount of firing my boy was doing at our first skirmish I think I'm going to need to strip a tesla. 😁 @gamble just subbed. That chair looks comfy 😊
