  1. UKAPU seems to make a decent surplus; are they saving for a rainy day or building up funds in case there is an attempt to ban airsoft? £18,412.55 as a Paypal Balance????? An interesting set of questions for the AGM, when it eventually happens.
  2. https://www.wgcshop.com/products/vfc-original-parts-ccw-steel-selector-plate-for-hk417-aeg About £16 posted.
  3. Did the UKAPU meeting take place? Are members going to be notified of the outcome at any point? Do we need to leave our airsoft sites and march on wherever they are based?
  4. Oh, her! Give someone a little bit of power and see what happens!
  5. Plug, plug here as well; they are excellent springs. They are consistent across batches and maintain their boinginess very well.
  6. Really? I never knew that, he wrote ironically. Did you not read my statement "...assuming that the spring strength remains constant."? Did you not realise that my comment was made in the context of this thread in order to demonstrate that, except where there is premature engagement, motor speed does not affect the power output? Look, I get that you are an utter twat; why don't you do this forum a favour and fuck off to reddit or FB, where your inaccurate teching advice would fit in really well?
  7. It sounds like it is the same gun under a different name. A short length of spring glued into the hop unit so that one end pushes on the wheel stops the bugger moving.
  8. The same hop arm problem as the KWC version...hmm. Is the hop wheel very loose as well?
  9. I shall keep the hot air balloon and the blancmange flinger to hand as I will encounter Roger the Welshman several times over the summer at various festivals, although I may be rather too busy running a lightshow and keeping the band in some sort of order to engage in mortal combat.
  10. I have one of those; there are far too many proprietary parts, including the hop unit and the hop rubber. Airsoft Surgeon does an upgrade rubber but it is not particularly great. The hop design is very poor and requires regular fettling to get it to hop BBs properly. In the UK, they are generally branded as Cybergun and Milbro. I would not recommend them.
  11. Speedsoft is a different game and should be treated as such.
  12. Ah, I was looking in the advert itself, not at the title. In the advert he describes it "as new" and only the sight is specifically described as "brand new".
  13. The power spring in an airsoft gun is a mechanism for storing energy. When the spring is released, that energy is expended in overcoming whatever is preventing the spring returning to its pre-compressed length, which can be friction in the guide rails or between the piston head O ring and the cylinder, or air resistance. Provided that the spring is always compressed to the same length, the energy stored will always be the same, regardless of how that compression is achieved, assuming that the spring strength remains constant..
  14. Our April Dartmoor wildlife sighting; definitely not a deer.
  15. The Covenant is just about ok. Ambush, on the other hand, is garbage; the plot is full of holes, the script is awful and the acting is dreadful.
  16. The sites that I play at are as busy as ever, if not more so.
  17. He is only claiming that the scope is brand new; how do you know it is not?
  18. Good luck with it; I loved the look of the one I built but I decided to sell it as I could see a lot of problems with it in the future.
  19. I cannot think of any in Kent, but Tactical Warfare Airsoft, which is only a few miles outside Kent,, is open on Saturdays. It is a mixture of woods and CQB, but tends to attract a few too many speedsofter types for my current taste.
