How long did it take to print and how many parts is it made of?

22 hours into a ~24 hour print and it falls off the print bed 😭 RIP 200g of filament.

I know some stores price match others as long as it isn't on sale and it's in the UK. Asking doesn't hurt, worst they can say is no.

Yeah was shooting at 400fps when I first tested it. The mag was just a spare high cap I had laying around so I pulled the internals out and superglued the pin back in to give some rigidity to the top of the mag. Wiring is still into the mag as it's just the better place for it tbh. If I wanted to make the profile smaller, I could get a short mag and put a peq box size battery in there.

It is. I had to drop the spring down to a M110 to get it inside the limits. No idea what it came stock with. The hop unit is a bit strange, it's like a M4 and P90 hop put together and the inner barrel has a fair bit of movement even when assembled so I pushed an O-ring into the space between the hop unit and the inner barrel to hold it a bit more secure. I had to glue the nub to the hop arm as it kept getting stuck in place when winding the hop off. Gearbox looks to be a standard V2 but without a quick change spring and all the internals appear pretty much standard except the nozzle which is a long brass thing. Really should have measured it. Not sure what's going on with the rails on this - I had to really force the angled grip on and my KAC style rail covers just will not fit at all - it's like the rails are ever so slightly wider than all my other RIFs. The mock charging handle is a bit loose because the spring is about 3-5mm too short so it has some play. I have no idea how to take that apart so it's staying as is for now.

Finally (almost) finished with a rifle i've was after for a while until @ButcherBill sold me his AR57.

Is that the same guy who was trying to flog it for ~£300? So it's actually knackered? I wonder if it was faulty when he had it listed originally.

Rather than take the thread further off topic than it already has been, i'll just drop you a DM.

Magpul PDR-C I think. Had a chance to get hold of one about a year ago and I constantly kick myself that I didn't take up the offer.

North East - the site is Armageddon Airsoft.

Is that your experience of the site? I've been going well over a year now (I think) and it's nowhere near like what you're making out. There are always one or two special people like that who turn up at every site but the overwhelming majority of players are great and the marshalls make a great effort to correct problematic people but it's very rare there are any. The only time i've had a negative experience there was when a certain team of 4-6 people showed up and decided they were allowed to play by different rules than everyone else.

I've seen someone buy one at the site. It was a relatively new guy who had no idea about what's good and what's not so he was talking to regulars. Myself and a few others had been chatting with him and letting him handle the different rifles we had so he could see what he did and didn't like. I'm sure we told him to not buy one of those just because it was immediately available and it had likely been battered but he did anyway 🤷‍♂️
