This I like, thus begins finding that grub screw haha I’ve measured using a drill bit and it appears to be 5.5mm If you're still hunting for the grub screw, I tend to use Accu for random fixings I need. Here's a link to their grub screw page.

Sold all my pistols except the Mk23 and was going to buy a TM 1911 but heard that with the mags being small, they couldn't hold much gas. I started looking for a CO2 version (I also have a lot of bulbs left over from having a CZ Shadow 2) and was going to get a KJW KP-07 but stumbled on the Secutor Rudis 'Acta Non Verba' in this really nice stonewashed gray. A week later I found a TM Goldmatch for a price I simply couldn't turn down. Both shoot really nice and the TM has nice snappy recoil but I'm just wondering how long the plastic slide is going to last.

Jesus, I can't believe how long that list is.

This could be of interest to you.

What a piece of shit. Well, his face is out there now so it's only a matter of time.

If he makes a M240B, i'd be tempted. Looking at the comments on the Youtube video, he's bringing out an AK in 2025.

I'm selling my Armorer Works Hex Cut Glock but not sure on value so I thought i'd get a check on the price i'm offering it out at. The gun will come with 3x gas tight magazines and a TMC 6354DO holster finished in Ranger Green. Internally, i've installed the Maple Leaf hop unit plus an I-key for better and more consistent hop. I've also installed a ZCI stainless steel 6.02mm inner barrel and a SniperMechanics Flamingo 60 degree bucking. The only negative about the pistol is that the fibre optic rods are missing out of the sights. This doesn't affect usage but it never bothered me enough that I fixed it. I believe you can buy fibre optic rods for relatively cheap. I have currently got it listed at £200 (ONO). Is this too much or about right? Ty.

Must admit i'd like to see more fire mode restricted events from more outdoors sites. Semi-auto only games to encourage *some* trigger discpline from certain individuals but i'd also beg for this to be mandatory in night games from my previous experience(s).

What I love about FDE guns is how nothing is ever the same colour. My VFC Scar-H is the same. Even the bare bones parts are different colours, never mind the accessories.

Been looking at one of those too - called the TTI Infinity IIRC? Fits 1911s which i'm looking at getting. They're £10 cheaper on Skirmshop if you're bothered. I've used the TTI TDC VSR hop unit in my sniper and it works a treat so I can't see the pistol one being poor.

Does anyone have any info on the King Arms Predator Shrike II 1911s? Appears to be very little on the forum except one (or maybe two) people posting a one liner about how it wasn't great then not elaborating further. I was looking at getting a KJW 1911 MEU when this caught my eye so now trying to decide between the two. Ty.

The site used to have an automatic email function that would alert people whenever they received a message and/or reply. This has been broken for more than a while now and I guess people are forgetting to check their messages. Messaging the site owners does nothing - I've never received a reply either.

Saturday 26th - Armageddon Airsoft - Halloween night game. Having picked some more brains over my Mk18s random issue of only firing once per two trigger pulls, i'd swapped out the hop rubber to a Begadi Fly 5 and ran this rifle the whole night to see if the issue was remedied. As it happens, I never had an issue once! It would appear that the feed lips of the Maple Leaf Macaron are ever so slightly too long to play nicely in this RIF and randomly cause feed issues - more testing needed to confirm but i'm sure the issue is fixed. The night game was, overall, great. The games started about 1815 right as we were losing the light with probably around 20-30 people in attendance. The first game was TDM but ruined by people behind everyone else using weapon lights to illuminate their own team revealing them to the enemy and even resulting in some teamkills - annoying to say the least. The rest of the games progressed at much slower pace as all the light was gone inside the woods resulting in a much more dynamic pace of gameplay. One random person firing tracers would often descend into multiple people trading scores of BBs to each other which, in the darkness, was hilarious to see. Some people tried to play without tracers (to prevent giving their position away (even I did)) but quickly found that you simply can not tell where you're shooting without tracers. The games were pretty fun as you had to pick your shots at people who were actually out of cover which was super satisfying when you get a kill. Long break at this point with BBQ provided - even the site dogs had costumes on! The penultimate game was 'lightbox' which was basically flip the switch for the light of your team - whichever team light is on at the end wins. We were told the box would be in the middle of the 'village' area. The box was actually so far to OUR side that me and another guy (the first two into the village) ran straight past it and it was discovered by a guy who bent down to tie his boot laces... IDK who placed that box or what his idea of 'fair play' is but god, that match was pretty rigged in our favour. Despite that, we only won because one guy sprinted at the objective and flicked our light on at the last second. The site had a nice quirk to this game for halloween; around the village they had hidden 6 large prize slips - if you found one and brought it to the site owner, they'd give you a halloween bag. AFAIK it had a bag/bottle of BBs and some other stuff thrown in - a nice addition to keep seasonal events relevant and fun. Naturally the rain arrived for 10 minutes and dissipated quickly. The final game started around 2315 and was a good old game of timed defence with limited lives. Our team defended first, 5 defenders (with 3 lives) v 6 attackers with unlimited lives - attacker respawn was 30 paces back (reduced players due to people leaving). After several exchanges and being suppressed I was one of the last two people left alive IIRC and the last guy was hiding in a dark enclosed area to maximise time before attackers called clear - I was fighting for my life and was knackered from constantly changing awkward positions after firing and exposing myself. We lasted 20 mins exactly. Our attack was 5 v 6 with the defenders still having 3 lives each, while a little unfair in a timed mode, made for a nice challenge. After telling some of our team to go hard right and advance from the dark and mostly unlit area, I moved left and darted between the trees while I had flood lights at my back. Naturally you're going to think this is stupid, allowing myself to be illuminated but I was quickly past the main area of the floodlights and only really had to be concerned with the enemy weapon lights as long as I kept myself to the shadows cast from the trees. I was utilising a mix of low and high crawl to move towards the defence area but realised my rifle was just slowing me down so I left it leaning against a tree. Mk23 in hand, I low crawled closer and closer on the left flank often having to stop and lay flat as the enemy checked the area for movement. Unfortunately for me, a teammate with a DMR (who hadn't seen me) had also used the same flank and started firing from further behind making my advance even harder but they were taking enemies out at the same time. I had to expose myself as two of the opposing team were sat right infront of me - three shots handily dispatched both of them. Eventually I was close enough to start throwing pyro into the defensive perimeter. I holstered the Mk23 and swapped between the left and right, dropping pyro over the barriers and bushes in an attempt to maximise kills without exposing myself. Satisfied that I had cleared the immediate area, I crept in only to receive two shots into the side of my head knocking me on my arse. How the pyro I landed in the area hadn't got this guy, I had no idea but fuck it, i'll assume they were behind hard cover. I took my 30 paces back and respawned. By the time I ran back to the objective, it was empty and we called clear. 20 minutes and 50 seconds. Technically we lost however the enemy team had a extra man with 3 lives so i'm claiming a win on this one. After all the crawling through the undergrowth, my front was soaked through but gladly I wasn't stung and/or bitten to death! Overall an enjoyable night and i'd recommend the site to anyone else who's looking to try new sites. The one recommendation i'd probably give the site owner is to maybe think about trialing semi-auto only during night games. There was one instance of someone being full-autod in the face from about six feet away. Almost inevitable in the dark and they appeared to be pretty unhappy about it.

I was interested in getting a hi-capa + mags so I had a look on Impulse. Before tax+duty (but including shipping) it's £144 for the gun + 2 mags. Assuming a 25% additional cost for customs and tax, it works out at £180. I can get the same stuff on Fire-Support for only a tenner more. There's only a few times where importing stuff make sense in my experience. MP7 gas magazines were a no brainer to import.

Exactly my thinking - it'd be something an established retailer could do as a one off for birthdays/christmas etc. Then again, I guess most people would rather put together their own care package or mystery box for someone who plays airsoft. At least then you know they aren't getting a load of overstock and/or tat.

Earmor M20 are in-ear hearing protection. I use them with a Delta Mike.

My main outdoors AEG of 2 years. A boneyard Specna Arms with RRA trademarks turned Mk18 but with the 12" handguard.

Another reason why I don't use my BFGs outdoors and mainly paper pyro. I don't think anyone at my regular site(s) would steal anything but there's always that chance that some less than decent person attends one day. I've often left my rifle unattended during games when I need to sprint to and from an objective.

I used to pick up boneyard AEGs of different varieties such as a FAMAS, L85A1, AUG, P90 etc because it helped me learn how to fix stuff myself and was a cheap way to have a larger variety of RIFs but I recently slimmed down my collection by five or six RIFs to fund my move into HPA. I think i've only ever bought two RIFs at retail - A Krytac LVOA-C and G&G L85A2. As for kit, it's pretty much the same. My helmet, eye/face protection, gloves and clothing are probably the only things I bought new - just about everything else has come from the forums, ebay or selling sites. Pyro is where I expend a fair amount of cash (outside of BBs) just because I like things that go bang. I'd use my BFGs more often but I don't want to lose them when outdoors

Same. The Airsoft_UK subreddit terrible in terms of it's moderation too. 2nd hand sales threads tend to get locked or deleted and then redirected to a dead UK Airsoft Sales subreddit. Airsoftcirclejerk tends to have couple of funny posts.

I like the Magpul handguard on the MP5. @ButcherBill What's the name of the stippled/textured handguard on the third one down?

Any kind of Gas magazine means you're going to get stiffed if buying in the UK, especially on 'primary' guns. I tend to look at WGC Shop, ProAct Store and Impulse 101 when I want MP9 or MP7 mags as they're often a third of the price of UK retailers. After postage, i'm paying about 60% of the price of UK retailers.

I have finally joined the dark side. Kythera into an old VFC/Cybergun Scar-H and snagged some lads EMGxTTI TR-1 with a Backdraft Pheonix inside.
