    Like I said, as long as it's not prohibitively expensive, it'd sell. Not at that price.

    I used a Specna Arms Core 04 as the base for my project/learning build. The polymer for the receiver is actually really good, I just dislike handguards that are secured via the delta-ring, they always seems loose/wobbly. I will say that the Specna (blue) hop-units are great and haven't had an issue with it. Reliably lifts 0.3g out to good range and is very consistent. I'm sure Rostok will be here soon to shill the Double Eagle guns with the EFCS

    It's a nice gun...

    Well shit. I bought a holster (that's supposed to fit all M92 series pistols) for the WE Samurai Edge I just bought and it doesnt fit. It's very tight and to actually lock into the holster it pushes the slide back about 1cm. Turns out there's some extra bits on the slide that contact the holster. The question is should I sand down the inside of the holster or just try "resizing" it with some hot water to try and stretch the holster out. Failing both these methods i'd have to get a universal/adjustable holster as apparently no one makes a holster that fits the Samurai Edge. Checking around elsewhere about the holster I bought, I found a site that has a bit of small print saying the Samurai Edge doesn't fit amoung some others... a tad annoying when that say it fits all M9 models but hey ho.

    Just arrived this morning: WE Samurai Edge Gen 2 bought from @Daveoc33 <- big thanks. The mag is gas tight as it still arrived with some left for me to fire it full auto for the giggles. This thing is clean with very few signs of wear. Stripped it already and the inner barrel looks like it's never had a BB through it. I plan on clear-coating the emblems on the pistol grips to preserve them as i've heard these can wear away quickly. One issue i've noticed is that it looks like the hop isn't being applied centrally (when looking down the barrel) so I probably need to strip the hop unit and have a play with it however i'm going to replace the bucking with a new one due to the potential age of the stock one plus buckings have likely massively improved since this was released.

    Interesting. I have a two-point sling for most of my guns but don't like how I can't cinch it tightly to my body if I need to like you can with the L85 sling. Mind posting what you made?

    Linky should worky now i've moved it to Mega.

    I signed up to their newsletter for this latest release. In case anyone hasn't seen it they sent me a PDF of three different installation methods. I've tried attaching images of the PDF to this post but the forums won't have it. I've uploaded it to Mega so you can look at the PDF here; https://mega.nz/file/RsFiBS6S#E0Js44LnGw0AaGamF86znhqfHrMWgQ6D03Lz-1sr-OE

    That's cool, would be interested in it if it's not prohibitively expensive and how it (if it does) integrates to work with AEGs or does it require a whole new gun to work? I did note on their site it states it's 140-150db so everyone near you (and yourself) is going to need hearing protection.

    Anyone else registered with Airsoft-hub getting spammed with a bajillion emails? Since 1900 i've gotten 21 emails alerting me to messages. When I log in, i've got no new ones.

      i had one which was a reply i received a couple of months ago. so guess their server is having a bit of a meltdown as the website is also super slow

      I had 10 when I get home, I asked why they contacted me as I don’t even have an account now, got a message back saying they had a glitch which meant any messages than had been sent but not delivered where now going through. It’s seems to have stopped now.

    As for scam sites, there was someone attempting to impersonate Crown Airsoft and had a very convincing site. Only thing that got my spidey sense tingling was the fact that their stuff was about $100 cheaper than everywhere else. After looking about their site a bit more the name of the site was spelt wrong; CrownAirosoft. At a glance, it's easy to miss. The fake site has since been stripped to it's standard layout presumably by the hosting service. I try my hardest to pay with paypal everywhere on the internet just in case my brain turns off and I get scammed.

    Looks like they're potentially introducing more variations from CYMA too. I wonder what their price point is going to be.
  13. MrTea
    As per this reply in the other thread, KombatUK makes a version of this boot too. I picked mine up on sale for about £25 but their MSRP is usually around £40-£50. Here's a pair for £40. I've been using them for indoors play and they've very comfortable. Zero complaints about them. Not been to an outdoors site this year but I tend to use my surplus AKUs then.

    That's a quality spot right there. Good for me too as I was also looking for some kind of storage and that guitar stand is perfect

    Hi all. Just need some extra eyes for something.

    Can you guys take a look at this picture and tell me if these gearboxes/trigger mechanisms look the same/identical?

    1. MrTea

      MrTea

      I'm planning to buy a speed trigger unit for the R85A1 (to reduce the horrid trigger travel) but the manufacturer says it only works on the G&G versions despite them appearing to be identical and taking into consideration that the AA R85 is a clone of the G&G one?

    2. Madhouse

      Tough one, they do look very similar but there may well be small differences in the tolerances through the manufacturing process that mean it either needs some fettling or doesn't fit at all.

       

      Only way you'll know is to give it a go and put a post up to tell us all how it went.

    Thanks for the answers, I plan on changing to deans later down the line when I add a mosfet to the gun but for now I just wanted a quick fix to stop the wire pulling out of the connector.
  18. MrTea
    On my Army Armament L85, one of the wires going into the tamiya connector is so loose it can be pulled from the connector quite easily. Would it be okay to use a dab of super glue to keep the wire in place?

    This is the second post this week (across this forum and reddit) i've seen of gear being stolen. A guy on reddit said he uses Apple Airtags or Samsungs equivalent to track his gear on gamedays if he's leaving it in a 'safe zone' but not locked up. Can't help but feel this is a good idea going forward minus chaining your gear to a tree. Always take pics of your guns/gear so people know what to look for in the event of it getting picked up by sitck fingered bastards.

    Army Armament R85A2. Despite all the listings i've seen of this RIF saying the handguard is nylon/plastic, this one appears to be metal. Only gripe is that the sling loop got snapped during shipping. Fire-support have an ICS one in stock, chances are I can modify it to fit. Just need to get a dovetail to RIS converter so I can use optics with it, an A2 style charging handle and then it's on to internal upgrades.
  21. MrTea
    My RIF appears to be assigned to Parcelforce so that's a bonus I guess. Shame that it takes 1/2 weeks to clear customs. I did ask the retailer to put my UKARA on the label but i've also messaged Parcelforce themselves to make sure they definately have it.
  22. MrTea
    Let me know how long your customs checks take. I've got a RIF stuck with customs ATM on the same date as yours and mine came from HK. Also, let me know if you had to fill in any additional paperwork. Ty.
  23. MrTea

    RIF from HK stuck at customs ? HMRC say I need a RIF declaration form that doesn't appear to be readily available on the internet. Hopefully Parcelforce come good tomorrow when I ring.

      God are you kidding? I thought they'd all moved to a online/phone based system. Oh well, at work until Friday anyway so that'll probably work out fine for me

      Once it's cleared customs, goes to the local depot, then you can phone up, give them your tracking code and ask to pay the fees, they will then give you a 16 digit payment reference code you can enter here: https://www.parcelforce.com/receiving/customs-charge/ and pay online, it's an arse but beats waiting for a letter to arrive with the code

      @ak2m4 RIF arrived today. No customs charges interestingly.

    CO2 is a dry gas. Most bulbs/cartridges dont come with lube added but you can add a drop of silicone oil to the top of the bulb before 'charging' it and it'll help lube keeps the seals in good condition. 1 bulb per mag usually lasts me all game day unless i'm forced into using my pistol a lot.

    According to Taiwangun on Reddit they're close to being able to ship directly to the UK again. They just want to make sure that everything is going to go to plan before they launch it. See here.
