Which is absolutely fine.....unless all your batteries are wired to deans.... not the end of the universe but still. LOL. She's a pretty little thing. I've got to go skirmishing with this and my rebuilt M14 (read as "fragile and WILL break") so might need a back up for the back up for the back up... LOLOLOL.,..

Had to laugh. Got home from work and my boy has tried every accessory on it already....😂

Ive worked on a lot of pews since i started this airsoft thing...and the ares gearbox has to be the most over thought thing i've seen yet. It looks awesome. dont get me wrong. its a stunner. Once you take it apart, the box is a bit over complicated. The whole "plug it into a programmer" thing is a bit pants. I suppose it was indicative of the time, i'm guessing its a bit older than the trigger/selector stuff we have now. It has a full cylinder on a 380mm barrel which i think is overvolumed a tad (2.9:1 by my guesses) so either i need to add 10cm to the barrel or port it. Still, it was free and at least it takes M4 mags, which i have to say is helping on shelf space (AK, Aug, Mp5, M4, G3, P90...no sharing mags here!!) Just need an optic as the sights look a bit meh and we're off slinging poly at the wallies..

I entirely agree with you but i have to say, i've pinged messages to a couple of older adverts in the parts area and come up trumps. I was polite though.... 🤣

I did some work on my mates car for him and in payment he gave me a pew that I didn't have in my collection..... An Ares Scar L. It didn't work (i knew this, he knows i like playing with them to revive them!) so i got to it. stripped, cleaned, greased, shimmed, confused about this EFCS malarkey, figured it out, chrono'd at 0.6j (0.28g) and wondered why the ambidextrous selector was in a bag in the box.... OH MY GOD. what a faff. No, scratch that, WHAT A MONUMENTAL PAIN IN THE ASS THAT IS!!! Now i have patience. I'm an engineer. things that come apart should go back together (with the odd left over screw of course) but even i gave up with that!! Nightmare job. Anyway. Scar L now 1.1J on a 0.28 and with the help of the internet, firing semi/3 shot. Safe is more of a suggestion on behalf of the selector switch (that ISNT ambi!!!!!) Just thought i'd vent/share. LOL.

Get the guns to a decent tech, while he/she/them/they/toaster is sorting them out, do your rental thing and away you go with regenerated old school cool. 👍😁

I have come to the conclusion that years of drugs/drink/women has destroyed my knowledge of most things capacitor based other than how to charge up a big one with the legs bent round and chuck it to your mate... 😂 So, my hat is off to you sir, much respect for getting this far and good luck. Hope it pays off for you. 👍

Well....JB weld to the rescue. Never used JB before -ive used loads of 2 part epoxy resin types just not this one - and so far she's holding up. Got some bits coming from a lovely guy on here so hopefully she'll be ready to try out soon....

Awesome. 👍 I knew those years studying electronics wouldn't be a waste. I'm a bit rusty but the theory stacks up ok in my head. I'll read it again when I'm awake a bit more tomorrow.

Idea..... (😱) Find out where he plays, when he's playing next. Get a coachload of pissed off people on the hat coach with much singing of Nordic death songs. Drive to said site. Make our own video.....😱 *This is meant as a joke,ok....

(apologies for the caps lock here but...) TAKE THE HOP UNIT APART CAREFULLY AS THE WHOLE UNIVERSE HAS EATEN THE SUPPLY OF HOP UNITS UP. I had to order mine from sixmm in Hong Kong as there's nowt in the UK. I mean, this was 7 months ago and I imagine you've sorted it by now but just trying to help. 😂😂

Ouch. Sounds like someone has had a play and run out of talent. Have a look on the honey badger thread, it's the same gearbox with all the falcony type goodness in it. It might help. Haven't opened mine in ages so can't remember what's going on in there now . 😂

That's the beauty of rifs though. They've been refined already by the real steel version (sa80 MK1/2/3 ah fuck it, just buy the American M4 variant) kinda thing. Strip away all the furniture, they're all pretty much the same anyway. And function over form? Reminds me of my first wife.....😂

I'd like a day off. Like, nothing but films, beers, food. No broken cars, no whining kids, no stressed wife, no work hassles, no broken pews looking at my bank statements giving me a nudge to buy more stuff. Just me, 5.1DTS, Duval/quak, Doritos. Done. Happy. Oh and maybe one of those snow wolf Barrett m82's.... 😁

Oh if you can do it it's monumentalally satisfying. Only sometimes you just have to suck it up and spend more on parts than buying a new one! 😂😂

Some pews just try you, don't they? Boneyard M14. I've learned a LOT repairing this beastie. Only I've just snapped the reciever clean in half on the last knockings of putting it back together. Ping. Feck. My YouTube history goes like this:: M14 gearbox M14 switch assembly M14 why did I do it? M14 screws like wtf? M14 working M oh that's enough Whale music Welding pot metal 😂😂😱😱🙄😢😁 Tis a rollercoaster of a ride.

Ignore this post. it has no relevance. A bit like dripping bumgrain. Move along.....

Having recently rebuilt an EP6CDT engine and a cyma v7 gearbox I have to say that it's a close run thing on which I'd rather work!!!! 😂😂

Gift rif. Grif? RIFT! (does air guitar behind screen) 😁😁😁😂

Find the video on YouTube called "the automatic flash bang dispenser" by Ian at forgotten weapons.... 😱😱😱😱😂 Short for use inside vehicles....😱🤯

You lost me at flange....😂😂😂

Percussive maintenance....👍😂

I have the JG G3 mc51 ( I think) it's not full size but so far hasn't let me down. Other than my own stupidity (shim holding off the CUL 😱😂) it's been great. I've added a longer outer barrel from a ps90 to make it bigger.

Well, half the order turned up, the other half is still pending, so not all is lost. 😂
