I know I probably posted this last time, but I'm always amazed at Japanese efficiency. Ordered a barrel from Orga on Saturday and it just arrived today, all the way from Japan!

ATTENTION ALL G&G LEVAR OWNERS! THERE IS AN ISSUE WITH YOUR RIFLE.   It has come to our attention that there is a serious design flaw in the G&G LevAR rifles - both sizes. The pistol grip is breaking and disconnecting the gas line that travels from the gas tank within the pistol grip and into the main receiver. If gassed and under pressure, this can happen with an explosive release of the pressure, so please DO NOT use or mess about with your rifle.   We were notified two days ago of a customers rifle 'exploding' as it was lifted from its box immediately after delivery. As we have not yet received that rifle back, we were not sure what had caused this failure and were hoping that it had been damaged in transit by the delivery courier. Around 5 mins ago, we've had two customers at the same airsoft site with the exact same failure. First use of the rifle and they both failed after a small impact. All three of these were the LONG 15" version but the grip is the same on the shorter 7" and although the shorty doesn't have the associated weight and leveraged forces of having the full stock and longer top receiver, there is still a risk of the same thing happening if you impact it hard enough.   One rifle was propped on its stock and slid sideways, landing flat on the ground. The other was accidentally dropped to the ground from waist height whilst standing in the safe zone. Both pistol grips shattered and instantly released the gas as the line connection disconnected.   Please bear with us as we are not open again until Tuesday (we have always been shut on Mondays) and we will contact YOU. So please do not start sending us emails, texts and everything else you want to throw at us, including the LevAR's We cannot get hold of G&G until Monday, and although I'm fairly sure they must already know about this failure we need to discuss a solution in order to resolve this quickly.   PLEASE PASS THIS ON

I just fell for the classic ‘ooh I’ll try fettling with some airsoft bollocks to unwind a bit before bed’ which predictably led to me losing a grip screw and lots of swearing. Anyway, 30 minutes of rolling around later I’m headed to bed full of dust, screw still MIA and more wound up then when I started 😂

Don't you just hate it when a buyer just goes radio silent on you 😒

I know the mk23 isn’t to everyone’s taste, but still a bit harsh 

Does anybody else start off with a solid build plan in mind, then go to look at parts and end up finding something completely different? 
 
I planned to build a GBB MK18 out of the spares I've got, and then stumbled across some Colt Canada furniture in the green and now my mind is changed fully 😂

Anymore room at the TM MWS table? Cause I’m joining you. 

Sat with my mrs and watched the film La La Land again last night
There were moments it brought me to tears
I think my periods due

Finally got my,ahem,helmet sorted out 🙂
The go pro was at a funny angle,pointing more at the floor than forward due to the hinge of the case hitting the mounting plate.I didn't want to get an extension arm which would have sorted the problem but at the cost of raising camera up 76mm so with the Dremel I was able to remove enough plastic from the mounting plate to allow it to swing upright.👍
 
The helmet has never really sat nicely on me nogging so I set about experimenting with different sizes of velcro/foam inserts which helped but then I looked at the rotary knob for the headband which I thought was at maximum travel but lo and behold it went another turn and fuck me sideways the helmet fits perfect,almost like it's stitched to me bonce. 
So all in all a good days mucking about🙂🙂
