Leave it on if possible.
It's an air brake, it's for making shots quieter.

Been looking at no limits and nsc mate. Any you goto regular?
I've been to NSC once; it was okay but nothing that grabbed me. Will head back sometime and see what it's like to compare then & now.
I've never been to No Limits, as I'm just not a big fan of pure CQB & it's a bit of a trek to go for that.
Regular sites I go to (or did before 2020 happened) are F&O Stealth woods; a bit further south, out of the area so I didn't include it, Dirty Dog, Beacon 155, Humber Airsoft, and HQ Airsoft.
the last 2 are also a bit further afield; about 2 hours drive away from me.
My experiences of the local sites are:
Dirty Dog - a good mix of outdoor and CQB, but lacks large woods and often gets a bit too busy for my tastes.
Beacon 155 - okay, but suffers from attracting numbers sometimes and currently not running due to this situation.
NTAC - I've only recently been for a wednesday evening game there. Not too bad, better than I remember it being; though it was under different owners last I went.
District 23 - Alright, but as mentioned, I'm not a CQB-fan, I can't do more than a couple of hours there personally, and quite on the small side.
NSC - Seemed like a good site, but when I went, the games seemed very restricted and locked you into only playing in small areas at a time with little room to flank or move.
Adrenalin - Suffered from similar complaints to NSC, though they've recently started running full-site mini-milsim games which I've yet to try out; I'm booked in for one at the start of September, so fingers crossed it's good!
There's also sites run by Battlezone Paintball/BZ tactical; one at Scotch Corner and one at Yarm. (I believe they only run the Yarm one now as SC struggled to get players). That's okay, but obviously very paintbally and again, you're locked into only playing on smallish arenas at a time. -
Hi, I'm from a little down the road, in Teesside.
Do you have an idea of where you're wanting to play yet?
You've got a decent number of sites to choose from up here.
NSC just outside Newcastle
No Limits in Gateshead
Beacon 155 outside Sunderland
NTAC in the same area
Dirty Dog at Shildon
District 23 at Billingham
Adrenalin near Richmond
Plus a few others a little further out.
Shop wise, you have BZ tactical near Stockton: theyre pretty much the only real store in the Northeast, though you also have Just Paintball in Darlington if you're just after the essentials.
I believe No Limits also have a small on-site store, though I've never been so can't confirm what it's like.

Got this cracker. (details edited to protect the gormless)
I don't get why he thought putting in the price he bought it for was a good idea. 😂

Cheers @Hudson I no doubt will do once we are all allowed to
I am thinking about just doing the inner barrel, hop-up unit and the rubbers first, then do the spring/cylinder/piston once I’ve placated the “Boss who must be obeyed” with a trinket or something that shines, she doesn’t understand taking a brand new item to pieces the second you get it 🤔
You said you ordered a new hop unit and barrel set up didn't you?
If so, there's not really any reason not to replace it. Just don't disassemble the stock hop & barrel set - up and leave it in the box the gun came in.
That way you'll be good if you want to compare.
You can leave the cylinder set up as it is for now, and see what kind of power & performance you get.
The outer barrel on the MK23 should just come off, although it will be a bit tight.
A thumbnail or watch screwdriver to start it off and it should come if needed, though you should be able to slide it off by hand.
I'd leave the two small screws on until you've done that though, just in case it comes apart & you drop/lose some of the bits inside.

I'd go m140 personally, but congratulations!
Hope you enjoy it! 👍
-
I'd get an Omega nub too, sometimes the panthera nubs don't work as well, so best to have both.
I'd order a lower powered spring too, just in case. -
Honestly, It's down to personal preference; the length of it doesn't make that much of a difference; I've got friends experimenting with stubby (220mm) barrels on their Tanaka M700s paired with a fancy scope system to try and push out to 150m shots (See @Hunteering on instagram) with reasonable results.
If I were buying new I'd go with the shorty, just for maneuverability and making it easier to fit in my case; but I bought second hand which is why I ended up with the long version (428mm inner)
As we can't get out to play, I would run it stock for now; just to see how well it shoots.
But for later, Barrel-wise, something like a PDI 6.05, lambda 6.05, ML Crazy-Jets are all good brand barrels; there's also EDGI, and Airsoft Philosopher if you want to spend even more; though I've not owned either of those myself so can't say 100%; only going off reviews and friend's Rifles.
The Orange piston is correct; the 90 degree. 👍
Power of spring will be trial and error with your set-up; an m150 might be too powerful depending on air seal and what else you go with; I *think* I use an M145 for 2.2J on a 0.45, but can't remember.
Buckings are personal preference; no one choice is best, so it's up to you to experiment and see.
I've got a V1 flamingo, ML Omega nub & PDI barrel in my VSR, and I've just replaced the flamingo in my T10 with a Maple leaf 60 degree MR hop paired with a Stalker panthera Nub & Crazy Jet; but as we're locked down I've no way to test how it runs unfortunately. -

Typical!!!!
I finally decided on a T10 and went go pull the trigger at skirmshop - but alas now sold out !!!
Damn my forever debating pondering nature 🥴
I suppose it will give me some tinker time with the MK23 beforehand
The t10 short is still in stock.

I've got a T10, and it's a good alternative.
It is VSR compatible; I swapped out the guts from my Cyma 701 and they all went in no problem and work well.
The fake magwell for storing a magazine is very handy, and having a straight, non-tapered outer barrel (Same ID as a G-spec) makes it better for adding barrel spacers than a VSR pro style.
It's running with an AA hop unit and AA teflon cylinder, with the laylax Zero piston. (it comes with a 90 degree trigger as standard, so you save money there; despite the higher initial price of a T10 compared to a TM or clone VSR-10).

I've used green/propane for the last ten years in TM pistols without problem.

Anyone know anywhere that has a ares vz-58 gearbox in stock
the efcs module has given up on mine and the spare one I bought last October dose not work at all
edit:- I should add that I have googled the hell out of it, and have tried programming the new efcs with no luck
I'm not sure if anyone stocks them on their own. However, Ares is supposedly good for supplying spare parts if you contact them directly.
Failing that, give OPs-7 in Sheffield a bell and ask for Sam; I've spoken to him in the past and he said they *might* be able to sort them; though I think they just contact Ares and get them off them; so speaking directly to them might be as easy. -
Then it was likely you! Welcome back, either way!

Contact the site with whom they have their membership, give them their name & number and go.

Probably not; just try the old unit and see how it goes first.
You may be able to get one that has a better air seal, but you'll be as well off seeing how the old one works first.
-
Not usable in it's standard state; it comes in at over 600fps!
Probably as well off switching it out to either Spring or HPA. The CO2 gives around 40-50 shots I'd reckon; with a noticeable drop-off towards the end and poor consistency.
Avoid unless you're looking for a base gun for a project. -
Where in North Yorkshire, and what needs doing?

An M16 mag?
First of all; give it a dose of percussive maintenance against something solid (yes, seriously). Sometimes things can just get stuck and need a good whack to free things up.
If that doesn't help, look at the bottom of the mag & undo the screw there. You should then be able to just pull the inside of the magazine out through the top; you *may* need to push the two little tabs each side of it near the top in to do so, but it should just slide straight out.
Then it's just a case of manually spinning the gears inside to see what the problem is; usually when a hi-cap stops feeding for me, you'll be turning the main wheel and see the small brass gear won't be spinning; or will only be spinning occasionally.
Fixing it may need you to take the insides apart completely; but we'll come to that later. -
How long ago last year were you playing, and was it at the same site as you are playing at now?
If they were less than 12 months ago; you may be able to use one of them as your three games and be eligible already!

No, it shouldn't vary by more than a few FPS really, so there must be a leak somewhere.
I'd check the piston & cylinder section first.
Unscrew the outer barrel and take the trigger, receiver & cylinder. Cock it it, then cover up the cylinder head with your thumb or something.
The piston should stop partway if your seal is good, but if not it'll release all the way.
If it's bad, fix that then try again until sorted, reassemble & re-chrono to test the consistency.
If the air seal is good but you're still getting a wide range then look at the hop unit and barrel to fix any leaks there.
