  1. Fair enough then! I'd imagine you'll still have the dreaded parcelforce handling fee though; but otherwise, go for it in that case! (Might be worth messaging them & seeing if they'll drop it to 320/330 instead though; in case you decide to get a TBB at a later date).
  2. It's JG; They're usually quite passable, but will likely be hot out of the box & need downgrading, plus maybey a service & a hop change. If you're not experienced with working on gearboxes, then I'd say add another £60-70 on top of that price for all the work, parts, plus shipping & import fees.
  3. If you can stretch to it; LW have one G&P M16 VN remaining on offer; it would likely end up cheaper & easier than converting an ICS! **Edit. I'm actually tempted by it now, tbh!
  4. The foregrip *may* not be compatible if it's cross-manufacturers. ICS tend to be somewhat different to most other brands, and I can't recall ICS making a Vietnam version off the top of my head; which means it's gonna be taken from another make.
  5. Little photo of it. Cheap & simple. Just like me!
  6. He's saying don't trust the others around you just because they're older than the person TheGrover mentioned. Each and every person can be an idjit given the right circumstances.
  7. For shotgun primers, I use the tubes that inner barrels come in, cut Down to hold around 8. Holds them securely & with no rattle.
  8. The old Marui SR16s used to come with the same style too, I thought it was broken too, when I first saw mine!
  9. Today was the quickest & easiest packing of kit for a game ever! (But only because most of my stuff was all still in the bags from an game that never happened last week). XD

  10. I normally wait for one of my gullible friends to buy one and then I'll see how it performs. No risk then!
  11. Exactly why I left my wallet closed, despite their assurances that Ares were a good choice...seen & had too many die to trust they've improved any!
  12. I really wish retailers would downgrade to sub 350fps before selling. If I like a gun, I want to be able to walk away with it and be able to skirmish straight away if needed; even if this means putting the price up to cover costs. I guess this is why I haven't bought a brand new AEG for years! XD
  13. Like RR01 says; that's a bolt action rifle spring (VSR, to be precise) So no; not if the SVDs take AEG springs I'm afraid. It might be worth double checking the Hop; it is always possible, however unlikely that you've got an air leak now which could be giving you the drop in FPS.
  14. I was sorely tempted by one of these in Patrol Base the other week, but Ares' reputation & my experience with them, along with needing proprietary magazines (Which weren't/aren't out yet) PLUS having to get it downgraded to start with put me off. :/

      I'll come on tonight with my mates, is it Infantry only or vehicles?

    3. Hudson

      Infantry only at present.

      Say hi to the GR guys; some of them are airsofters too (But they're not *that* bad, really)

  17. There aren't too many up your way unfortunately, with it mostly being a national park permission for land can be somewhat tricky to say the least! Raw War Cumbria *seems* to be dead from what I can tell; all associated links don't go anywhere, and nothing seems to be recent. Annan looks like it might still be active from their page, even if the website has a very 90's look to it, but their FB page seems to have nothing since 2013, so make of that what you will. Otherwise, your nearest sites are probably Lancashire/Manchester ways & West Yorkshire, if you have your own transport.
  18. First game at the new Centurion site near York tomorrow. Let's see how it goes.

  19. I got nearly 380fps out of an M90 spring. This was supposed to be a downgrade! >:[

      new box/gin must have bore up cylinder, tbb and all perfect seals etc....

      old box maybe worn seals, cyl volume ratio out etc.... so performed not so good

      But 30 over limit or 50 increase from 1 box to other - jeez is quite a lot

      you sure it was a m90 ?

    3. Hudson

      Hudson

      That's what it says on the box!

      Going to swap it all out into a quick change box so at least I won't need to disassemble it fully in future.

    4. Hudson

      And no, just a standard cylinder!

  20. If it ain't broke... Like others have said; it sounds like it's working fine as it is. My recommendation, if funds allow; buy a cheap 2nd gun & experiment with upgrades on that. You won't risk messing up your main weapon then & it'll give you experience on working on internals...
  21. Energy: 0.17 joules... There's certainly *something* up...
  22. Had a play around with my mate's Airsoft AA12, pretty impressive but by god, it's a bulky sonovabitch!

      *If* and when I do. It depends if he gets round to getting it back up & running; but there's not much to see.

      It fires I *think* 5 shots at a time out to a 20/25m range.

  23. Having a brain fart kinda week. I'm looking at changing over my AK gearbox to a G36, and need confirmation. Will I need anything different barring the Air nozzle, selector plate & trigger or is that it? It seems like I'm forgetting something glaringly obvious...

      Ahhh yes, of course!

       

      I have a spare, thankfully, but yes...I knew there was something more.

       

      Thanks fella. :)

  24. First woodland game of the year tomorrow! It's been too long!
