  1. Currently bollocks deep on trying to get a mate's LCT RPK he purchased second hand with lots of work done to, way above my paygrade but we hope for the best lol

    Turns out it's a Negative Airsoft build from about two years ago, detailed in this video so I'm going to gingerly toptoe around all the work and hope pressing the jefftron's reset button brings it back to life 😅

      Not too sure what's up with it, but it's not looking too good. When a battery's plugged in it's still completely unresponsive, not even a sensor check (the motor's also in), only thing that would point to according to jefftron's manual is that the fuse is gone, but from the looks of it...

      ...Fuse looks alright to me. Has the leviathan pulled a leviathan and died of death?

      Would be probably be worth it trying another fuse. Also might be worth investigating the connection to the battery.  

  2. Awesome to hear - what size did you end up getting if you don't mind me asking? I tried on a friend's DCS last sunday and it was a little snug on me (but he is also much younger and much skinnier than me lol) but that could've just been the way he's adjusted it to himself (medium size) Exactly what my friend I tried it on said - they do sales all the time so just wait. Guess I'm going to have to open another pay in three haha
  3. Ordered a gearworks/macaron from the site recently for the MP5 and while it was working great the nub wasn't playing nice [because MP5 hop units are a pain in the ass] and I ended up cutting it to fit on the gameday and it ended up all pissed (was on the bench outside before playing so it wasn't the best job 😅), is there a slightly less wide nub you'd reccomend or would it be a good idea to just order a fresh gearworks/XT nub and actually cut it straight? Cheers

      How wide is the hop chamber slot for the nub?  Omega nubs are only 4mm wide so not much to play with, any smaller and it might affect how the thing actually works.  I don't think cutting nubs is a good way to reduce the size also, your better off sanding down I think with some fine grit paper, taking a little off each side very slowly.  

      If you do you order another one up I'll drop in a spare factory 2nd one I have so you can practise your sanding 🙂

      Planning on doing a order of a few bits for delving inside one of the pews because a jam's knackered the airseal stuff inside so I'll let you know - heart of gold you've got by the way haha, appreciate it

  4. I ordered one of the WADSN PTTs from ali and it's been working great, just had to return the pair of Not Comtac IIs because I bought the non active version so it was just a microphone/headset and I couldn't hear anything with them on 😅, will order the slightly more expensive ones from there when I get the spondoolies in. Scope packaging gave me a good laugh. It is not scope. It is Vision King
  5. It's less them sending the wrong item, more refering the asked for item in the parts diagram as the HK45CT mag catch which I assumed was just the same as the USP if they're saying it was - there's no point kicking up a fuss over a ten quid part that'll cost even more to return or whatever even if it's a little frustrating
  6. MLEMart stuff arrived today. Fifty-two great british pounds. Or, $486.02 HKD. Not a single thing fit properly or was even needed in the end (The USP wasn't saved by a new piston head, detent or hammer spring. Still light strikes a single time into venting out all the gas. Think the nozzle return spring's goosed because it doesn't flick back into place very authoritatively, and the new mag catch fits pretty awfully because I think they gave me a HK45CT one instead of the USP 9mm/full size 😐) Absolutely gutted. Cocking handle's going if anybody needs or wants it. Will fit the VFC gas MP5 (obviously) and apparently one of the AEGs although not the one CYMA copied for the CM.041 (which this was to replace 😅)
  7. Amazing thread, tickled me a lot actually hahaha
  8. Against my better judgement I've prepped the gas Golden Eagle 870 for sunday. God help me.

      Honestly, even though it was doing looney tunes outlines around people it was a blast honestly, we've only just had work done on our CQB part of our site recently and they're getting a bunch of cheap springer shotguns in to do shotgun/pistol only games in there so I thought I'd give it a go early, apart from the stock trying it's hardest to leak (long flathead 'm4 buffer tube screwdriver mate' to the rescue) things went perfectly fine, which was a suprise

      I'd love to do one up eventually though, get the longer barrels, the high output valves, the posh modify gas tanks, shim the hop so it can hop 0.28s etc but seeing as HPA's disallowed at our site there's no point really going crazy with it because the gas shotties are just limited without an air line meaning it just works 40% of the time rather than 100% lol

      Good to hear! I probably should give mine a second chance then. As ,much as I love the idea of making it work, it just doesn't seem to be able to apply any appreciable hop to even .2s, and the spread is wild. I've cleaned the barrels and fixed hops gently with alcohol soaked patches in case they were covered in grease/oil, but no difference....

       

      Yes, mine was wildly leaking from new - I had to remove the buffer tube (mine has the M4 type stock), then re-lube the o rings and re-tighten. I'm not shy about taking things apart (albeit the M14 was admittedly a stretch), but I'm told that shotguns are a bit of a nightmare to strip down!

      Yeah, the M870s are pretty notorious for being swiss watches with a thousand hair thick springs that love just pinging across the room never to be seen again - I got PTSD from the last time I took mine apart because my cylinder was a little loose and I just couldn't get the thing back together for the longest time and ended up getting a mate to pop it back together because I was losing my head after it just wouldn't play nice lmao

      At least with the GEs you always have the option of just buying another one if you royally cock it up, and even then you're still under the price of a new TM one lol

  9. Can't even begin to imagine the amount of money I've pissed this week ordering stuff for Sunday's game. So many bits and bobs it's unreal, little wanky items from a million different places and it's cost me a fortune. XC2 from ali, muzzlebreak, new trigger assembly and magpul grippy-things from Milspec around the corner. Found a great deal on a Blackhawk Sepra Level 3 light bearing holster for it too... ...which doesn't fit because the geniuses over in Tokyo decided to fatten up their 18s and WE copied their homework a bit too closely. Guess it'll be around if I ever muster up the courage for a VFC or GHK which I'm assuming are actually to scale. Shame, but considering the price being so good it was worth a go. Also got a claw mount for the MP5 (ali) alongside some spare straight mags from DCA (unfortunately not the cool riveted ones! didn't know they did them!) so I've got a full combat load of around five magazines plus somewhere to mount the HW XPS for Sunday, considering the UTR's hurt, the AK won't go into semi, and the G36 won't feed ammo properly. Airsoft! Also decided to grab a pair of Laylax 'high bullet' speedloaders from Land Warrior which I re-lubed because they sounded awful. Very satisfying. Also spent a bomb at MLEMart to get parts for the VFC USP working again, alongside a replacement cocking handle for the MP5 as the CYMA's just a clone of the VFC AEG. And a bunch of fake WADSN goodies from ali including a PTT button and a set of jarg Comtacs (that are the wrong version and will be returned soon) And a baseplate o-ring repair kit from Lees Precision. Think that's everything. Jesus Christ. I've got nothing left.
  10. That'd be awesome - I ended up holding off for now and accidently ordered a bunch of other tat instead so it'll be a while before I end up making a decision so a second-hand review would be much appreciated
  11. I think I'll get around to this eventually when I can borrow some tools from a friend but it might be above my paygrade consideirng I'm a complete ape with hand tools, let alone power 😅 Ordered a VFC AEG/GBB replacement off MLEMart to tide me over until then, as the CM041 is a copy of the VFC MP5 and the exploded diagrams seem to match up part wise. I'll be soft and delicate with the replacement until I get around to tapping the snapped one with a dowel pin so I can go back to roughhousing. I was going to just give up and get the actually available CYMA replacement/'upgrade part', but.. look at the fucking thing 🤢
  12. I was getting average (but reliable) performance stock so decided to try the ZCI plastic rotary unit alongside a ML Macaron + gearworks omega nub, and while the performance was much better it just really struggled to feed for whatever reason. I was assuming that other people had modified their units to fit hence the request. I did change the barrel over to a longer 6.03 (320mm) brass barrel out of a fucked second hand LT-52 I had lying around instead of using the standard 230mm 6.10 that comes as standard when I changed the hop and bucking, however - although since I put the old hop unit back in it's started feeding flawlessly again even with said barrel and rubber (the nub is internally fixed with the standard unit so I couldn't try the gearworks nub in there unfortunately) So yeah, not really sure. Airsoft will be airsoft. If you ever end up taking yours apart for a clean or something similar I'd be interested to see what yours looks like to see if there's anything glaring that I could've missed
  13. Had a pretty catatrophic BB clog/jam on Sunday's game day with the UTR after it was struggling to feed with the ZCI plastic M4 unit that I put in it alongside a longer 6.03 and a ML macaron, and ever since clearing the jam of around 10+ BBs through the hop-end of the barrel caused by an unlucky shitty BB the power's dropped by almost half, even with the hop completely off and even with changing back to the original hop unit to fix the feeding issue for now - any ideas? (around 1.04J to 0.633-0.673, varies pretty widly - feeding has resumed back to normal since changing back over to the standard intergral nub DE unit though) Was thinking the jam and the very few amount of rounds through it not knowing it was jammed [as it was struggling to feed, originally just thought it was that before I realised it had clogged] has done something gearbox wise, maybe some sort of damage to the nozzle or other air seal compotents? It seems to cycle perfectly fine still and the falcon-fire hasn't started beeping or getting angry yet so I'm assuming the gears are good still. Any pointers would be appreciated - I'm really not looking forward to opening the thing up though. Considering that this was my workhorse "it just works" ''backup'' gun I'm a little mad at myself for tinkering with it and seemingly fucking it up, but I guess you can't make an omlette without a few eggs rotting, or something along the lines. And things were going so well.. EDIT: Decided to throw in my desperate attempts to try and fix the feeding problem with the ZCI unit via trial and error here for good measure. If anybody's managed to change their UTR over successfully, please do tell what you've modified to get it to play nice, cheers. I'll take a second stab at it again if I can get this power problem figured out. Hop completely off in all tests , 11.1v 1400 mAH, 0.28g Warhead Delta BBs
  14. Found this while shopping for the zenit style ones - this the style you're after? Couldn't find an image of the B&T one at the same angle so I couldn't figure if it was similar or not lol
  15. By placard system, do you mean the velcro panel that you'd also attack a pair of plastic clips into so you could change things on the fly if you had the panel for each platform? I use one in a very shitty manner currently to hold my UTR magazines loosely in the front-pocket velcro thing of my current rig and it's not amazing to be honest lol Good to know, I thought it was some sort of posh propriety system and I had no idea really - still think I'm more interested in the cummerbund having a bit more substance for security's sake - the paranoia of things dangling or somehow getting loose drives me crazy so just a solid plaque of laser cut molle sounds more appealing to me so far I might give the mate I mentioned in the OP a message and see if I can try his medium sized DCS on to see what it's like, no better way to see really
  16. After much deliberation I've decided that I've outgrown the humble viper carrier/belt setup of mine and want to get into some decent gear without breaking the bank, and after seeing a Warrior Assault Systems rig in person I've decided to get one myself - although I'm at a bit of a crossroads. I can't really tell the difference between the DCS and the LCP and was wondering if anybody had any info on them that would direct my purchase - I'm looking for one that has a solid MOLLE cummerbund to act as a replacement for my battle-belt so it'd be between the DCS or the LPC V1. Currently don't use any M4 magazine platform stuff at the moment and I've seen that you can get the DCS with G36 or AK pouches bundled, but I'm not too sure about the LCP having the same options. Would really appreciate some input as it's a lot of money [relatively speaking for me, anyway] to put down for an airsoft carrier so I want to make sure I get the one that's best for me. Cheers
  17. Understand that you're trying to shift it and I can't really help with that but I've got to ask - what plates/mock plates have you been running in the 6B23? A friend got one a while back as a 'ukraine war trophy' and wants to start putting together a little RUS loadout but obviously they took all the kevlar out of it before they sent it over so it's very baggy at the minute
  18. Wouldn't call it faulty tbh, gas shotguns are very fickle by nature and will just do random shit so you're probably fine lmao
  19. This produces bogus readings as you're leaking two whole barrels worth of gas which leads to a worse seal and lower reading of the one shot that does happen, but if the site's happy with the results then it's good lmao TM/GE 870s + the KSG have restricted output built into them anyway, the barrels don't run the entire length of the barrel + there's some sort of thing with the valve inside that prevents the power going above 280 or so FPS on standard gas so I wouldn't even worry about the reading being lower than stated anyway as it's way below limits
  20. Friend picked up the Perun equipped AK-12 a good few months ago and he's ran it through the ringer and it hasn't missed a beat if that's anything to go by. I've heard the zenit styled PE PP-19s are awesome too, so I can't see them the PPK-20 being any different. Their PP-19 has a 250mm barrel and the PPK looks similar in size so I'm assuming it's the same? Not quite sure on that one honestly
  21. Didn't fit. Even if it did - the way the pin would have to go through as pictured would have the handle facing the wrong way regardless, so - we're back at square one. Joy
  22. I was considering drilling a thread for the existing part that broke alongside adding a threadlocked grub-screw to hold the two together with more strength, but I don't have the tools at the minute so I just decided on an off the shelf solution for now. Might experiment with that idea later though
  23. UPDATE: Took it apart again and drove the pin out using a punch, it looks like it'll accept the guarder/JG replacement as the only CYMA one available is that abhorrent modern MLOK looking one off the platinum - cheers for the help @Hatchet Will update this thread when the guarder part arrives for reference if it fits or not - just in case somebody ends up stumbling on this thread looking for guidance like I was (considering how often the MP5 charging handles get cockslapped off by HK enthusiasts, I was suprised to find very little regarding replacing it)
  24. Gotcha, I mostly just lurk and post in other people's threads so I wasn't too sure where it should go. I'm pretty sure the mods have moved one of mine in the past though. Also I'll give it a little go with a pin-punch tomorrow, I just threw the thing back together for now and I can't be fucked opening it up again (even though it's really not hard whatsover honestly)
  25. Hi all, Recently picked up a lovely CYMA CM041 w/ a torch handguard, but unfortunately due to roller delayed related mind control I ended up fucking the charging handle that's within the cocking tube, I know: no way - I was going to order a replacement but thought I'd have a look beforehand so I could see if the guarder steel replacement would fit but I can't even get the thing out - any pointers? The grub screw/allen screw that's inside just either free-spins or doesn't fit a single one of my allens, and I've tried several different sizes. Am I doing something wrong or do I just need a hyper-specific key to fit it?
