  1. Iturri boots are great; the Cold Wet Weather boots are my regular walking boots and have survived everything that Dartmoor can throw at them, while being almost as comfortable as the patrol boots. The lad lives in his Iturri patrols and has a pair of the Cold Wet Weather boots for Dartmoor, the Peak District and wandering around Sennybridge with an L85.
  2. Airsoft Plantation randomly chrono on the field before games start; they are now also weighing a sample of BBs from each chrono'd gun.
  3. Excellent! They are superb boots; I wear a pair of those or AKU Pilgrims as my everyday footwear.
  4. Thank you. it seems that they have not ruined the site; I will pay another visit next month.
  5. Range and accuracy: XT 6.00 or 6.02mm inner barrel Maple Leaf Macaron or Mr Hop 60 degree hop rubber and nub (or any other good quality hop rubber/nub combination). I have had mixed results with the 4uantum ones (awful in a G36, superb in an ICS Masada). Consistency: Air seals: piston head, cylinder head, nozzle. A Perun V3 Hybrid is strongly recommended; it gets rid of most of the giggedy bits in the gearbox and can give you much better trigger response. I am sure that others will have other recommendations.
  6. It is the partly hidden part in this photo.
  7. Safe is usually engaged via a plate on the right hand side of the gearbox, that is moved by the change lever and blocks the trigger from moving. The cutoff lever does not prevent the trigger moving.
  8. What are you looking to improve? Range? Accuracy? Consistency? Power? Rate of fire? Trigger response?
  9. I haven't been since they did the most recent work and, based on photos, am slightly concerned that it seems to be turning into an outdoor CQB site; is that the case? The choke points are a bit of a pain, but unavoidable given the slightly unusual shape of the site. I do miss the old Dragon's Lair.
  10. That cutoff lever looks ok unless the lug for the spring is missing; I doubt that you will be able to get a replacement for it. You might be well advised to replace the gearbox; if you do, I would make the standard recommendation of fitting a Perun Hybrid. Regarding the overheating, If you do not replace the gearbox, I would advise replacing the wiring, as well as checking the shimming. Any two lug QD spring guide should fit, albeit possibly with a little filing of the lugs.
  11. I wear this for airsoft. It is old and a bit crap, but it does the job, rather like its owner.
  12. Iturri Cold Wet Weather boots; go a size up from what you normally wear and get the Wide fitting. They are the best boots that I have worn in 40+ years of wearing boots.
  13. I wear a cheap digital watch that I bought about 20 years ago. I am not sure why I wear one; it is probably just habit.
