The WADSN stuff is awesome (if this is one?), they don't work as well nor fit as good as the real things (obviously) but they've mostly got all the functionality & have the cool trades on them, plus they're cheap as chips for what you're getting. Have a SF XC2 on my G18 and I've got a X300 on it's way soon, looking forward to it

Classic - PB's "friday" delivery happened to me last week too so I had to borrow ammo on site from a mate rather than have my own on the Sunday. Also, yeah - seems they've ditched the CYMA/whatever the fuck mosfet's in it completely and moved onto the eshooter basic like they said in the description (I thought maybe the one that was already in it was the eshooter, but no - seems like completely different units), which is a good thing as the old mosfet had a thousand nannies and won't let you shoot auto the moment the battery starts running a little low which is a massive pain in the ass on the field when your gun just goes 'urr urr urr' instead of shooting the person right in front of you.

A2 stock arrived today - which means I can finally run the torch frontend & actually plug a battery in at the same time, which is nice. Have a clone C-More railway coming in soon which'll probably go on this if it suits it enough, alongside one of those abhorrent modern cocking handles because the proper ones won't be in stock until next year [according to an email I sent airsoftpro.cz, we'll see] and adjusting the hop without being able to lock the bolt to the rear is a massive pain in the ass lol Also got a forward assist & replacement bipod for the SR-25 too.

I wouldn't hold your breath with PB's amazing track records with Friday deliveries.. (at least in my experience lol) Gas rifles are inferior pure-performance wise to a decent AEG but have the added benefit of being cool as fuck alongside reinforcing good habits which'll make you a better player in the long run (ammo management, actually being a good shot lol, etc) alongside being much cheaper to run ammo wise because you're not just wanking off 220 round midcaps in ten seconds and actually have to make your shots count which'll make it last longer - decent gas rifles usually have good-enough hop systems to utilize heavy ammo out of the box which'll make your 30~ rounds more consistent compared to other out of the box AEGs (although this depends on gun to gun) Gas pistols are an excellent gateway though as they're relatively inexpensive, widely used, usually have a fun & satifying manual of arms for extreme larping around the house and AEPs are, well - AEPs. Would recommend one down the line for sure, esp. so if it's a common platform such as a glock or capa so you can actually get aftermarket support if things go wrong (**cries in USPtism)

If you'd be so kind to post a little clip of the noise it makes when you plug a battery in that'd be much appreciated - I bought the same '74 back in January but the one you linked states it's got a Kestrel eshooter MOSFET inside and I'm curious if it's a different unit to what's in mine. Enjoy your pew!

I use a Nuprol XL and I can fit two rifles even though it's a little tight. Optics on too, which is nice. I then have my pistol in one of the little nuprol cases with it's mags and a few bits & bobs for them, and my mags are pre-inserted into my carrier & belt so they don't take up case space. Buying a standalone case just for the TAC-41 might be a good idea as you could pop the rifle in there, plus the scope, mags & whatever else you'd need for it, extra springs, heavy ammo so you can't mix it up etc etc.

Maybe he's throwing in the dog bowls & flooring for the price?

WGCShop order with a bunch of nice AK bits arrived today - and despite the dreaded RM email about customs charges it seems I've got lucky and might've dodged them. Before: After: Absolutely made up - everything fits & really makes this thing look amazing now. The new pistol grip is such a massive improvement over the standard and having the choice between the DTK-4 suppressor and DTK-2 muzzlebreak makes the lizard brain happy. Can't wait to field on Sunday!

After much deliberation and plenty of fucking around with UKARA's expiring and TWG/PB email chains - it's here. SRC SR-SP - AKA a metal slide TM USP that'll take green gas & c02 out of the box, all for much cheaper than the TM. Sure, it doesn't have the trades (...yet, west laser's looking awfully tempting) nor the probable magic hop fairies but it's a 9MM USP that actually works (unlike my dead in the dumps VFC) VFC for comparison. Fits the Sepra CQC the VFC sat in just fine and just feels awesome to shoot, super snappy, controls are more positive than the VFC and it just seems a much better pew overall. Shame the VFC mags are too fat to fit so I'll have to order some TM or SRC ones if anybody'd know where they'd be in stock. Clears a full mag with a drop from 1.134J to the 0.823 pictured, and it'll probably do another. This was before I took it apart and regreased it so it'll only get better. Made up, awesome piece for the price.

Bought some T8 glock valve/router kits from them and while it took a little while to arrive they came no problem. Price wasn't awful either plus I got a little cool PEQ box keychain lol

That's good luck - otherwise it'd be going in my next order I'm having to make real soon and I need to save some money 😅

Another one - turns out because it's an older gearbox it's either 6mm or 7mm bearings, not 8mm. Gutted. Will have to order some new ones so unfortunately won't be using this pew tomorrow EDIT: One amazon payment later: 7mm. Would've been nice if the info was anywhere but I probably just missed it. I was looking at the current listing for the CM.041J but that's got an actual quick change gearbox and 8mm bushings compared to my older version here. Can get some ordered now at-least and hopefully get this show on the road. Still desperately looking for a replacement cocking handle if anybody has any pointers - trust me, I've tried everywhere. I'm getting desperate at this point.

Not normally a fan of 2011s to be honest but this one has tickled my fancy - any clue where you got that supressor from? Looks ace

Bit of PTFE tape and a drilled nozzle should do the trick mate 👍 Anyway, gave it a clean to get the remains of the bearing and terrible blue alien goop out and was suprised to see the parts are all in good order. Wasn't expecting to see one of those silent style piston heads but it's getting the ak2m4 XT air compression classic regardless so I'm not going to worry about it. Seems to have better internals than the CM.009D M733 that I just did, with a full metal rack, 12:1s etc. It's just not the quick change type unfortunately, so that's going to be a pain in the arse to put back together considering I've never done one before. Still, interested to see how a little re-shimming and proper grease quiets this thing down.

Got around to taking the thing apart, even though it's roughly several thousand degrees in my room at the minute. That'll do it! Not looking forward to putting this thing back together, seeing as it's going to be my first non mosfetted, non qc spring gearbox going back together 😅 Think it'll buff out?

Relocating the motor wires to the rear of the grip has provided a much better sound - and while it's stilll screechy to my ears it'll do for this weekend's game as a loaner to a work friend who's interested in trying airsoft - appreciate all the replies! I'll take the thing apart over the week after the game to replace the gears with these 16:1 CYMA gears I have laying around and I'll try reshimming it a little quieter - it's a lot happier since changing the grip's wiring! - I'll even try ordering some fresh 7mm bearings to quiet the thing down since the XTs did such a good job with the 733 - appreciate it!

Little update - Used a tool to get it shooting right with 0.28s and it's pretty much locked in place so there's no chance of accidental tweaking by curious workmates in the future lmao Also decided to take the thing apart - these oldschool rifles are so much fucking easier to take apart it's unreal as the other two I've went inside [a DE UTR-45 and a CYMA CAR-15/M733] have had fancy bolt catch mechanisms, ambi selectors etc. The lack of functionality with regards to a catch etc makes things a lot easier. With regards to the motor & grip - it seems that the 'high torque motor' that was mentioned actually is a ZCI HT, which feels pretty pokey and hard to move which is a good sign. One problem, however - is that somebody's dearest (as it says DAD on the bottom of the grip) decided to superglue the motor adjustment screw in so it can't be moved at all 😅, so a new pistol grip or baseplate needs to be ordered. One finaly question however - anybody know what size these bushings/bearings are? They're obviously smaller than 8mm but I haven't a set of calipers to hand and finding any technical info about this gun that isn't just a copypasted description about the joys of 'CQB Hi Cap Action!!!' from ASG's website 15 years ago is impossible. I'm guessing 6mm? I'm pretty sure it's just a rebranded Classic Army gearbox in a plastic reciever so if anybody has more info I'm all ears. Cheers!

Will give it a go over the weekend when I'm intending to crack on with this thing. This sounds fantastic, please do-tell if you ever get around to it so I can order like.. five 😅 (also big thank you for throwing in that ARL spring in my most recent order, completely slipped my mind!)

Honestly - fixing the hop to 0.28s might be a good idea. Means that the type of people I'm going to loan this to (mates, work friends, relatives etc) can't accidently cock things up and have it shoot funny 😅

The one that came out of it is some sort of strange slim design 'rotary' unit rather than the water-mill looking one you're probably thinking of - I think I'll give it a go at sanding the wheel when I get time to see if I can get just a little more purchase on it. I don't mind the hop being fixed to a certain weight without a tool I just want to make sure it's applying it evenly on the arm.

Please do tell where you found a classic style cocking lever - I've tried the guarder steel one [didn't fit] and the VFC one [was too big] and I'm completely at my wits end looking for one. It's to the point where I might even order the gopping modern styled one just to have one again (or, if you've still got it around, I'd be happy to take it off your hands for a few quid) I'm begging at this point. Looks awesome, by the way.
