  1. Ignoring the boot drama in GenHelp.  Good day at the MAW, shottie ran well and the ZCI barrel I put in the M16 is for the trash.  Put a maple leaf in it and the difference is night and day

      Well nice to meet you! I was one of the snipers on the blue side. First time visiting the MAW

      Hey, I was at the MAW too. I'm guessing you were the guy in Vietnam fatigues?

  3. Are there any Airsoft stores near Nottingham that are worth checking out?

     

    Going to be heading down from the frozen north this weekend, thought I may as well have a look in whilst I'm there!

      It's ok, I made it to Leicestershire Airsoft in the end, and picked myself up a new Amoeba.

      According to Google maps they're an online only store?

    st browsing as my son wants a sniper for his birthday but I've been told to buy second hand incase he doesn't like it and prefers his aeg

      There's sense in that. You can usually buy one that someone has already upgraded and set up for less than what it would cost you to do yourself; just have to make sure you know what you're buying as some just aren't worth it.

  6. Hooray! First day out with it and my new type 89 died before I even made it to the safety brief. 🙃😭

      It's a Tercel, which I think is just another rebranding of the Jing Gong or Both Elephant.

       

      I don't think it's the brand itself necessarily, as I had one about ten years ago for a while and had no problems.

      I think it's just age, it'd been sat in storage for a while according to the advert.

       

      I wouldn't even have needed to open it up, but it was doing over 380fps when I got it. 🙃😅

      Found that shapeways do a replacement part, but the cheapest shipping is almost £15.

       

      What the actual fuck. 😑

      Nope it's well and truly fucked.

       

      Nothing for the stock to hold onto, and the gearbox only fires in full auto now, no matter the setting.

       

      Chances of getting any replacement parts are slim to none at the best of times, let alone in current year, so hooray.

      A £200 paperweight that never even got to play a single game. 😩

      And part of the selector/trigger assembly has snapped, so now the trigger isn't working.

       

       

      Fuck. This. Shit. 🙃🙃

      Second hand. 😒

       

      Really regret buying it now!

      Just tried disassembling it so I can try fixing whatever is wrong with it, and the cheap shitty plastic holding the stock on just completely snapped off!

       

      Absolute Fucking piece of shit. 😩

      I was only Trying to set the hop and it died. I'm gonna have to go inside and see what's wrong. 😩

  13. Finally got around to opening up my Type 89 for a downgrade & bucking change, as well as greasing the (bone dry) gears and a new piston o-ring.

    Bought it a few weeks ago and It was a little too spicy unfortunately. 😅

     

    I tried an M100 first, and that was way *way* over 1.13J, but thankfully one from my random bag of lower-powered springs was ok, and it's sitting about 0.9J now, so ready to game for next week.

     

    Version 8 gearbox wasn't as bad to work on as I remember it being, I just need to rewire it now.

      It's one of the clones. Tercel/JG, I believe.

  14. Lovely. The CYMA AK74U I bought yesterday at the MAF that was "Doing 320" is actually over 370.

    Guess I'm gonna have to open it up. 🙄

    1. Hudson

      Hudson

      Well it's down to around 325 now, so that's better now. 👌

  15. UKARA set minimum engagement distances now apparently?

     

    That's news to me. 🤔 🤔 🤔 

    1. Hudson

      Hudson

      No, he definitely meant metres. "I was in the army, I know distances!" 🤪

       

      Like I say, I've no problem with sites running any rules they want, just the passing bullshit off as fact. 😂

      Then again, I'm sure that the United Kingdom Airsoft RETAILERS association have plenty to do with setting rules at SITES. 😂🙃

      From the head Marshal at site today apparently! 😂😂

       

      I was curious when he said MED for snipers was 50m; unusual, but okay if that's their rule, and when I queried it (I wasn't sure if he'd said 50 or 15 in the briefing) he said it was 'UKARA standard.

       

      Now I've been playing 24 years and never heard of this. 😂😂

       

      Where exactly do people pull this sort of nonsense from? 

      If you, as an owner want to set your rules to whatever, that's fine; but why bullshit about it? 🤔 🤡

  18. Any good recommendations on where to buy 0.3 Bio BB's from chaps?  Just found out next weekend event is BIO only. :(  Looking at all the usual online retailers..just wanted to find out who best to buy from?

  19. Picked up an Action Army T11 recently, thought I'd give a a paint job to cover up the boring old black. 👌

  20. Does anyone know of a blue hop rubber that instead of a normal ‘mound’, has 2 little ‘teeth’. Like a normal mound with a v shape cut out?

      Let me know how it works, if you get one!

      Just trying to get a photo uploaded.
      It's at the very edge of what the holster can accommodate, but it fits!

  25. Which delivery service do you send cans of green gas with? Received plenty via RM but I doubt they are actually allowed

      That's only for the weapons and ammunition though; not gases
