Any stock healthy bucking will not allow BBs to roll out the barrel. This is a good thing. Crack on 😎

Good man @ross33 👍

Does it actually not fit in? There are a lot of variables and thus routes to making a spring a given rate. Shorter, less coils, thicker gauge wire all equate to a stiffer spring. And the opposite is true. It may be wrong but it may just be a different design 🤷🏽‍♂️

No, but it is a Longbow 😉 Moving targets? Bored of silhouettes?? 😁

@SeniorSpaz87 go away you're not allowed to play anymore 😉 Seeeing as there aren't any pics of proof required... I've got GPMG, an Apache in the post, and last one I promise a AC 130H 😁

I would go for a VSR G Spec. Resounding most that has been said above, the VSR is much more operator friendly with a nicer easier to pull bolt, lighter weight, smaller mags. I have not used an AA one, would also be keen to hear on that. Ive always loved the TMs but the externals can be pretty tired after 3-4 years hard useage - obv you can just get another and swap the guts over. Be great if there is an option of genuine TM clone accuracy internally with better external material, I.E. a polymer rather than ABS

Hah! Good use of time and a nice job 👍

It was quite exciting although a massive waste of time for all involved. It was only over an optic which should not have been a problem anyway

Oh what a twat, yes i get you know, that must be sick-stick aka minority report, not sure why youd need an optic on that but yeh! At least you didnt get called in to the local constabulary under caution! like someone 🙄

Apologies, yes of axis you easliy lose sight picture, think the main reason for that isnt the mag but the small objective lens diameter WTF is the show hunter line about!? 😆

Ive got a Leupold 3.5-9x, eye relief is insane, i would have thought itd be pretty damn good on that, you sure somethings not right / not adjusted right? PS what are those pictograms on the packaging lol!?

@Skara give us a sense of scale then 🙄

It snot an SSX tho, its a TM MK23, a tatty / messed about box, unknown condition, missing LAM, H arm is peanuts, barrel and hoslter ok but still dont add up to that with one mag used, taped yada yada.

Hmmmm....

I must agree an OE 416 and a good ol CQBR are my fave ARs Been working on this still ongoing project the past 2 months and I feckin love it, going to be my MBR/jungle gun. Been getting it upto date with the latest 'real steel' G36C upper rail machining. Makes it all feel a lot lighter visually I think.

Got pics?

Landed! No ones ever seen one of theses before 😂

Eagle6 is perfectly reputable if a little expensive at times. Have used them many a time. 👍

@Shaydee I do not have photographic / video evidence if that is what you're asking. From a lot of field testing at 80-100M (real) in ideal conditions collectively we confirmed the differences between the two barrel lengths - STD & G spec. Theres a lot of false info on forums for sure, and anyone can take ot leave anything 😉 Agree with @Skara and @Shaydee on both sides yes the law is set on Joules, but conversely as stated most stock guns will be above the limit as soon as you run anymore than 0.2 due to massive factory over volume. Most snipers are the most honourable of all airsoft players, they appreciate distance, the power they have, but moreover they enjoy the sport for the satisfaction of a long stealthy hit. This is only achievable with joules. If everyone was Joule legal then sniper rifles / 500 FPS should be banned cos who the fuck fires 0.2 from a sniper rifle!? 😂 It should be 450 FPS limit. @leadly please just get a std style inner barrel, get a Prommy 6.03 or other equivalent. As you say the stock cylinder can provide a whole lot of air and there are many ways to reduce this. Getting volume right will allow the BB to gather energy, leave the barrel cleanly without turbulence, and make the shot report quieter. You have the best tool already - a chrono. Time, effort and patience will reap maximum joy in game, provided you don't have the shakes! 🤣

With BASR & HPA @ 500 FPS you'll definitely see accuracy gains past 65M Is the OP joule limited? Most sites are happy with 500 on 0.2s when 30M MED is enforced. I would say you should definitely volume match to the BB weight you are going to use. This shows that maximum energy is being transferred to the BB, which in turn confirms your barrel to cylinder volume ratio is correct thus there is not a load of turbulence on barrel exit or suck back.

The existing anodising will need to be blasted or dipped and removed before the new coat can be applied. The striping will REMOVE material Anodising will ADD thickness. The finished difference will be negligible and have no affect on function. I would advise getting it HARD anodised, this is is thicker and tougher than normal, it is usually a dark grey colour which is very professional. Anodising thickness is microns

The 430 will net slightly more FPS but stick with the shorter barrel for accuracy, range will be identical.

That MWS is a long way from home! Hows it perform? Mag capacity vs gas capacity? Genuinely though someone had posted in the wrong thread at first! 😂

Making it so the pull doesn't make me feel nauseous, once I'm past that point I can happily own it, rather than holding it at arms length and walking towards the nearest bin 🤢 Hopefully 2 stage, loading and felt under the finger ready to fire. Plus some other goodies.
