  1. I've got one of both. I'll test them together once I've woken up properly.
  2. Is it all youngsters nowadays that need spoon feeding, or just airsofters? >_

      As a complete new guy with no friends that do it I have found it a little daunting but the folks on the forum have been fantastic. Mind you some people surprise me that they survived to adulthood...

      It's not ignorance that annoys me; there's always something you don't know after all.

      It's when people are just so lazy & unwilling to expend the slightest bit of effort or thought and insist on having everything done for them that I get annoyed!

  3. I bought both a core & a zci barrel from Ak2M4 when they had them in stock (6.03 & 6.02 respectively). The core worked really well originally, not actually far off my Prometheus 6.03 (up until the gearbox started playing up) whilst the zci was decent, but when put side by side with the Prom was a bit lacking. (Note; all AK length barrels, used with G&G .28 ammo and G&G green buckings). At present I have two AKs with Prometheus barrels (one G3 length though) and one with the Core. The zci is in a drawer until I scrounge up enough parts to build the rest of this other AK.
  4. Not in the slightest, personally I find it a bit silly.
  5. Have you looked at ordering a PDI 6.05 direct from X-Fire? Shouldn't be too expensive that way.

    We glock 17

    That could also work; providing you have somewhere to shoot. However I didn't have anywhere to fire the pistol except on site; by which time it would have been too late. I think it's just down to WEs quality control. Some will come through fine, others are sadly lacking.

    I had the same with my WE 226. The bucking's likely a stiff one, so it can't apply enough hop. Replace it with a softer one & it should help somewhat.
  8. There was Lightfighter in Sheffield about ten years ago that was an old industrial complex with lots of buildings & outdoor areas. One of the best sites I've ever been to. There's more out there still running, but nothing as good as that one. Also; you've posted this topic three times.
  9. Did you get yours second hand? I ask because when I bought a skorpion it came with one included.
  10. £4.50-8 to post one single hop bucking? Yeeeaaaah no thanks, Airsoft Zone.

      Worth a shot, I guess. Cheers!

      And it's a no. Brilliant.

      Yh I have had the same frustration as you :/

  11. Discovered it through GunMart back in 1997 when they still had an airsoft section, and started off with a few schoolmates on a friend's farmland. Soon after, I discovered X-ring & airsoft.org then venturing out to one of the few sites that existed nearby at that time. Joined a team down in Sheffield a few years later & eventually here I am now...wondering if it's all still worth it!
  12. It closed down as Op-Tac, and got taken over by Skirmish. By all accounts it's much improved compared to the previous lot (Barring losing part of the site) and much safer than it was.
  13. Quick question: Does anyone know offhand what size the spade connectors for motors are?

      If it is 2.8mm that's perfect. Can get them for 16p each in that case.

      Component shop sell small ones for 16p a throw but they're not gold plated (although that's actually NOT an issue for motor connections BTW). They're 1/8" hence 2.8mm as SD said.

      Cheers guys. :)

  14. I thought it would. Just wondering as SS called it a non-RIF.
  15. I don't see how that one can count as actually two tone...
  16. Skiltron: Bagpipes of War
  17. Iron Maiden - The Trooper
  18. They do run a store, but It's online only, AFAIK.
  19. Hi from Hartlepool! Get yourself down to rifleworks airsoft sometime. They're having their opening day tomorrow, and not far from Durham.
  20. Does anybody here have experience with a variety of Sig 552s? I bought one second hand the other week and curious as to what it is. All I know, is it's not TM, and it's been painted so I can't tell by trades or design etc.

      Mystery solved...It's an ICS!

       

      After all the fuss, I noticed an otherwise useless button above the stock that had the ICS logo on. XD

      Thats not a useless button its the catch to seperate upper and lower receiver.

      I've not tried doing that yet, so I've no idea!

      It was never present on the other ones.

  21. Be aware that Madbull buckings can be a right PITA to fit sometimes; they're thicker than most & so can get stuck easily when installing. The nubs are also vastly oversized which can lead to jamming if you don't replace it with one smaller. (But then you'll need to make sure the nub is hard enough to actually exert enough hop without deforming). If I were you, before ordering I would check the nub you have installed to see if it's simply too soft & replace it with something better. Remove the barrel & hop unit and look down the barrel as you increase hop to see if it's actually putting sufficient hop on. I've had similar problems where this has been the cause.
