Dug mine out, need to make a start on doing a better rifle wrap & paint job for it whilst I have plenty of free time!

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.

The t10 short is still in stock. https://www.skirmshop.co.uk/action-army-short-aac-t10-od.html

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'm heading through to London next week for the first time in a while.
Is there anywhere airsoft-related (or similar) you'd recommend visiting?
I know of Wolf Armouries, and I'm flying there & back, so won't be able to buy anything gun-like, but wouldn't mind a browse, or a short shoot; be it on a range or a game.
What is there? -
I hate ordering from X-Fire sometimes.
At least it's less expensive...

Spent most of yesterday kitting up for shooting today, and it ended up having to be cancelled due to low numbers. Yay.

It's a fairly large site - old abandoned WW2 RAF training ground. It's got 5 main areas of contact between the two teams, so at 120, that's 60 on each team, split across the 5 areas which takes it down to 12 per squad, minus 4 on each who are doddling back to respawn, so each little concentrated battle only becomes 8 on 8 (give or take, the Grasslands area usually has a little more as it's a larger space).
Parking is tricky though!

Despite all the slagging they get; I honestly can't fault OnlyBBguns for this order.
Lone UK stockist (that I could find) Over 20% less than the usuall RRP, free delivery & arrived the day after it was posted.
Still feel a bit dirty though!

They are the better of 3 x well known BB shop muppets
still a bit mickey mouse but like you say if you know what you want and they have it then it is worth a look.
Most of their stuff is 2-tone as they mainly sell to newcomers
but even then bought a few bits off them in the past and all good
even a 2-tone non blowback m92 wasn't bad for £30 - 10% discount delivered.
Despite the newbie beginner shop - good to support some local shops now n then I guess
wouldn't catch me recommending JBBG
highly highly unlikely to suggest BBGuns4Less
But Only - aka iwholesales - same addy are ok out of the 3
glad you got it sorted

Dear Lord I can't believe I'm even considering it...but how are OnlyBBguns for delivery?
I know; I wouldn't even think about using them normally; but they're the only place I can find what I'm after in stock, and the item itself is actually a decent product; is it worth it, or are they con-artists?
Now excuse me whilst I shower the filth away. -
I've used green/propane for the last ten years in TM pistols without problem.
-
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.

Japan to UK: < 36 hours
Halfway across England: Several days & counting. Yaaaay parcel force! -
Are there any spray-paints out there that give a nice Coyote brown type colour? (And are available in the UK)

First, be smart from the very beginning. Pulverize all teeth, burn off fingerprints, and disfigure the face. Forcing a DNA test to establish identity (if it ever comes to that) might introduce the legal/forensic hurdle that saves your ass down the line. An unidentifiable body can, in a pinch, be dressed in thrift store clothes and dropped in a bad part of town where the police are less likely to question it. I don't reommend that disposal method, I'm just saying an easily identifiable...
-
Bury the body parts at least 2m underground, vertically, with a dead fox or something equivalent at least 2 feet above the body. Satellites use ground penetrating radar to look for 5-6ft horizontal shallow holes in the ground. And the fox is for if a police dog finds the body; investigators will find the animal and assume that's what the dog smelt (dogs are trained to find buried bodies, whatever the species)

Are replacement parts for the Echo 1 Vintorez available anywhere?
-
I'm looking at giving some .30 ammo a try for general AEG usage; are there any new-ish brands out that are worth a look before I go for some blasters?
