  1. It's honestly incredible how every single teching session steadily goes from theraputic to requiring therapy yourself in the span of around 30 minutes, you'll have 90% of whatever you wanted to do done, get stuck with one tiny thing, get frustrated/order what you needed, and when you're closing your gun back up until said part comes or you can have the patience again something'll go wrong or a spring'll be a cunt and before you know it you're a shivering, sobbing mess losing your mind praying you'll never pick up a hexhead screwdriver ever again

      Lovely stuff, where'd you source the RK-3 for the SLR-RW in the middle? After one myself but can't seem to find a single one in stock anywhere.

      Also need to get around to getting mine done with an Aster, the fire selector's doing AK fire selector things and can't reliably shoot semi anymore which is a big dealbreaker with there being so much semi-auto at our site lol

      Got the rk-3 from Sixmm, postage can take a while but had no problems with them. I only use semi so I set the selector setting to safe/semi/semi 🤣

  2. Yeah, Pete talks all the time on here about how ZCI's quality has been steadily dropping since they changed hands with the new barrels produced to a much worse quality, which is why he's personally stopped stocking new ZCI barrels on the site 6.00 looks scary but from what I've seen and heard they're really good, granted you won't be using shitty ammo anymore though lmao
  3. Could try an XT barrel from AK2M4, heard nothing but good things about them and I'm sure they do 363mm
  4. Hate to revive such an old thread, but how did you get your ZCI plastic hop to play nice? I just got your average macaron/zci plastic today (also from AK2M4 lol) and while I've managed to test perfectly fine and get good results, I can't get anything in when it comes to full assembly. Even with just the two metal rods that guide the UTR branded bolt (with no springs, nor the bolt) it prevents me from getting it in as it's getting stuck on something, even after pushing the hop into place like you mentioned. Did you do some fitment?
  5. Special ordering some VFC parts to fix my fucked USP and turns out the crystal clear P8A1 .pdf diagram and the extremely low resolution USP image of it's diagram don't have the same part numbers in the grip assembly, which means after three weeks of waiting for them to arive I've ended up telling them to order the wrong parts. Oopsie doodles, time to wait a little longer :(

  6. Me and a friend went halves on a second-hand Co2 converted Galaxy M82 barrett a while ago and didn't have a chrono at the time as we were pretty new to the sport - imagine our suprise when it decided to shoot 3.6J on the first shot when we borrowed a chrono to test it at our site's range lmao - it calmed down after around 15 or so shots to normal "bolt-action" power which made it quite a pain in the ass to field which is why it sits in a bag in a cupboard somewhere 😗 - it was still such a good deal that we're not upset about it lol
  7. A good reminder is that if you find things on TWG that aren't on PB's website for whatever reason, they can special order them for you if you go through the email process ([email protected]), was how I got the DE UTR-45 specific 8fields pouches for my setup. TWG can also get you certain weird parts that you can't find anywhere for certain manufacturers (in my case, a replacement mag paddle release spring for my Double Eagle UTR-45) although it was a quite the battle (23 emails) it ended up coming through on the end. And they might have forgotten to charge me the 4 euro or whatever they wanted for them. Oopsie doodles!
  8. I ordered the torch back on the 19th of Jan and it was at the door by the 25th of Jan, so around six days give or take. Some items have crazy delivery estimates to cover their own arses apparently (as the holy warrior EXPS3 had a delivery estimate of the 30th of april and just randomly showed up unannounced two days ago lol) so I'd give it a pretty good chance of you getting it in time.
  9. Few bits from the land of quality over at Aliexpress came the other day. Holy Warrior S1 EXPS3 and the little fake Zenitco RP-1s (I bought another two for a mate because they were like £1.30 a go compared to the £20 we'd have to pay for the LCT ones over here), honestly super impressed with the HW and it's now the highest quality optic I own, which might be saying a lot but hey: We're getting there! Nothing more fun than slowly building your dream rifle piece by painstaking piece.. (and waiting multiple months for single parts to randomly show up lol)
  10. Just had my Holy Warrior S1 randomly turn up today despite claiming that it was going to be delivered on the 29th of April at the earliest

    Love me some Aliexpress, shame they can't show parts in the searches anymore tho

      I think Ali just does this every time (or at least the couple of times I've used them), they deliberately massively over-estimate shipping duration to cover their butts.

  11. Hi, Me and a mate recently picked up a Jefftron equipped AEG off a gent on here, and after fucking around with it for a while (seriously, why do you need a password for your gun lmfao) we managed to get it working apart from a few niggles with the selector - with it not being able to pick up the stickers on the plate to indicate what firing mode it's in (it thinks all three positions are safe) So, we go and look on Jefftron's website and fresh new stickers are available for a few quid - perfect, we think; only to realise that due to our fellow countrymen a few years back they no longer do UK shipping and instead require a £50 worldwide option for a set of 3 quid stickers. So, any ideas or pointers? Willing to buy any leftover sets if anybody has them spare from their unit...
  12. Any reccomendations for G36 mid-caps? My JG high caps I bought keep skipping ammo in firing with my particular G36 and I'm tired of being as much of a human maraca - I bought one of the Novritsch SSR63 A1 mags just to try and while they require a little knock to get in they feed way better, just I can't be fucked having a nightmare with customs and having to pay so much shipping for just a few mags. Any ideas for alternatives?

      I've personally never had an issue with the battleaxe G36 mid caps. They fit & feed flawlessly in my JG, Specna and Cyma. They're a little bit of a pain with the S&T in terms of locking in as easily but do still lock in. The other bonus is they're dirt cheap!

  13. Had a friend's AUG barrel-release button ping off somewhere in it's last outing - anybody know where to source a replacement? It's a snow wolf SW-020 and from what I can tell it'll take TM parts, but I've no idea where to source an exploded parts diagram to get the part ID let alone find a replacement. Any ideas?

      I can always take mine off and measure it if someone can do a 3d print or something. Not ideal but Aug bits are few and far between!

      @Egon_247with dimensions I could design and print a replacement.

      Samoon will sell you one for the GHK AUG, which will probably be compatible.

  14. Airsoft's really kicking my ass lately. Last outing I had had my CYMA plat SR-25 die for no reason, alongside my DE UTR-45 [the SR-25 has randomly revived itself the other day but for how long i don't know, UTR still dead], then my WE G18c exploded it's internals and is now light-striking with the new steel replacement ones, and then today my VFC USP9 which has been rock-steady since I bought it as my first rif has shit the bed too - the fuck is going on? Lmao

      I HPA'd a brand new plat sr-25 if you want any of the aeg parts for free

  15. Handy bit of advice! Will keep this in mind when I eventually fall down the comms rabbithole [me and my mate just got our first comms, a set of Baofeng-888S which considering it was like 20-something quid; two units, two chargers and two sets of all the accessories plus a nice little.. poundland in-ear microphone each really isn't too bad!], PTT looks like an terrifying money pit and I dare not put a foot in that puddle just yet or I might end up homeless. Speaking of things I've bought - I decided to get brave and take down the fire-control group on my WE G18c that I bought off here second hand and promptly fixed, then modified, then restored to it's rightful status as a WE G18 (completely fucking broken lmao) and turns out the hammer wasn't a fan of.. full auto mag-dumping with an aftermarket +50% or so recoil spring. In 28 degree weather. Using red gas. Four times in quick succession. Turns out, these are supposed to be together... It might have been a little moment of weakness, but - my nephew thought it was the coolest thing ever! Steel replacements have been ordered for the entire hammer assembly alongside a new return spring (the old one decided to snap in half when I took a pair of pliers to it and embeded spring steel powder in my middle finger, wasn't the nicest!) alongside some of the annoying springs in-case they decide to ping off the bloody thing into outer space to never be witnessed by a human being ever again. Plus an enhanced nozzle to install when the green one either explodes from red-gas abuse or when I can be bothered. Now all I need is a BlackHawk for the thing but poor Klarna's been abused enough for one week. Amen. MOLLE grenade pouch also on the way for the little Novritsch gas refiller container thingy.
  16. True, I was really looking forward to a few videos of the insane DSG wankergun mentioned in the OP as I think they're just awesome showpieces to wow people with at the firing range (although it's a bit of a different story when you decide to shoot poor rental man dave and his little lad 120 times in two seconds, which I hope people don't unironically do with said wankerguns lol)
  17. Probably best day of airsoft I've had so far in the last year of playing - kneepads and an anti-fog unit + glasses insert for my goggles made playing so much better. Or, it was the best day of playing until two of my guns decided to go click and die of death for no reason... Go airsoft!!!! 🙃

  18. I grabbed the universal adapter as reccomended here the other day and while it's not perfect (the strap struggles a little with the extremely long UMP style magazines) it works well-enough, esp. compared to the agony of using shitty cheap speedloaders that get jammed every three seconds. I just wish there was a way to snap the mags in like how the M4 mags go in - that'd be perfect. Oh well - universal is good enough for now but I'll have to keep an eye out for a proper UTR-45 adapter as the platform gets more and more popular. Cheers for all the pointers lads
  19. Evening lads, I field a VFC USP9 as my primary sidearm but it's unfortunately a bit of an oddball (seriously, you search 'USP' and nothing but the HK45 or the MK23 comes up) meaning that 'upgrades' and parts in general are very scarce or non existent - however last month I decided to pick up a WE G18c and did some little bits to it while I was fixing the mags (was missing followers) and the modification that impressed me the most was the little RATech recoil spring and buffer set that was around 150% strength, as it overall just made the pew feel so much more responsive both in shooting and handling, with the much more positive slide racking being my favourite detail. Or, it was - until I got a little excited when my little nephew came round and I decided on the amazing idea of firing full-auto mag dumps with red gas in 28 degree weather which has completely fucked the thing. That cockup aside - this got me thinking - would a HK45 'enhanced recoil spring' be a drop in fit? Each GBB pistol on Eagle6 is specific to a certain model so I was just wondering what the differences were and if it'd be viable to pick up a set for a different pew to try it in the USP9. I'm not looking for insane performance gains or whatever - I just want the awesome feeling positive feedback of racking the slide and firing it that's present in my G18 (although my USP is the only one that actually works at the moment!) So yeah, if anybody else is a USP9 enthusiast who's done this to theirs, or has experience dealing with slightly uncommon variants of GBB pistols they field - do let me know
  20. If you want a little more out of your AEG but don't want to run the risk of 11.1v, try a 9.9V LiFe. It's great for giving your pew a little bit more zip without worrying about as much heat and voltage going through the gun. However, considering it's a EMG CYMA (aka a platinum) it already has 13:1s inside and a nice little mosfet. It'll take fine to an 11.1v as my CYMA platinum SR-25 takes a 11.1v on DMR power no problem (it runs colder than my G36 and UTR does in fact, but that's also because they both have SHS high torques and they love shitting out heat), although on sustained full auto you do run a higher risk of shit going tits-up as you'll be firing fast enough to not notice a jam in time on full auto, meaning you could end up slamming a broken BB around your gearbox at mach-10 which tends to break shit (which happened to my G36 that was running at speed on full auto before I had the gears swapped out) Wankerguns are a fun novelty so long as you're not, well - a wanker with them. I normally only put my high-speed G36 on 11.1v when at the range when I want to wank out a little and show some of the newer guys some A10 minigun fire for a laugh. As long as the semi-auto is nice enough, and if you're running at crazy RPS on 11.1v with three-round burst programmed on your mosfet to stop accidental grenading of your gearbox I don't see the harm in it really. Just be reasonable and respect the other players and you should be good. Airsoft honour and morality aside: Yes - your CYMA EMG/Platinum will take an 11.1v no problem. Is it worth it? Eh. Try a 9.9v LiFe instead if you want a little more than a 7.4v without wanking too-bad.
  21. As the title says, anybody have any idea on a solution for a M12 sidewinder's adapter for the Double Eagle UTR-45? Loading the magazines manually is a nightmare and it feels like I spend half the game day doing so but I can't find any sort of adapter for the UTR magazines, as apparently the G&G PCC45's adapter doesn't work with the UTR magazines according to a reviewer. Any ideas?
  22. Meanwhile, the greatest improvement to the VMP's looks... Pisstaking aside I think you might be onto something. If you could break up the silhouette of just 'plastic brick with a handle' it might be bareable enough to use (if you're stevie wonder, anyway). I'd still take a KWA MP9 for a few quid extra any-day if they were in bloody stock anywhere.
  23. Probably something to do with the fact that the KWA MP9 is out of stock everywhere and everybody just wants a GBB-thingy that they can actually get their hands on brand-new. Plus MP9 owners can now get alright mags for cheap, so it's a win-win despite how ugly the thing is.
  24. Hi lads, Recently decided to bite the bullet and grab myself a SHS high torque to throw in the workhorse [for better or for worse] just to see what'd happen, considering there's a SHS high torque in my G36 and that thing's a fucking animal (although it was fully built by a very certain sweary man down in reading so it's not exactly a fair comparison) So, here it is: a fully apples-to-apples comparison between the standard, rumoured anemic motor that comes in the M917 as standard compared to the power-sucking demon that is the SHS high torque [in comparison anyway] utr45 motor comparison.mp4 Alright, no idea what happened with the video size there. I edited it for facebook sharing with our local airsoft group so my apologies. Pop it in fullscreen in the player for now I guess lol
  25. Turns out a pair of round-nose pliers was just about perfect for getting the gas tank's main valve off. Ordered em here. Tank went back together lovely [after a few hours soaking the o-rings in abbey silicon oil] and it worked fine on the game day the day after. Or, well - as well as a unmodified gas shotgun "works" out in a woodland field anyway Now, to ward off the devils trying to get me to drop 300 quid on wiitech upgrade-y bits... -on my shitty second-hand GE clone that was less than a hundred quid...
