Welcome, another newbie here. I got Bolle Tracker 2 eye pro, very snug fit and haven't steamed up yet and a Deltamike mini. The deltamike is a snood with a protective mesh over your mouth to cover your teeth. Im happy with both so far.

Thanks for your replies. I've stripped my RIF down this evening and had a proper look at how it all works. I've got a better understanding of what's going on now so, apart from cosmetics and scopes, it will be left alone until its been well used.

About as clear as mud but I think I understand. lol

Does barrel length make a difference in airsoft? Will an M4 shoot the same distance as, something like, an MP5?
-
I understand the need for a rubber thingy on my barrel/hop up unit but theres a lot of choices that I dont understand. Does the colour make a difference? What about the angle? Are there different sizes and how would I know which one to get? As a newbie, with a bog standard RIF, I know there's a lot of upgrades but im going to use it first, then see what i need but this one seems like a complete no brainer. Especially as there's just the little ring thing and nothing else!

Losing every gram would leave you with a catapult or a straw! Lol

@MrTea funnily enough,being a rental gun is how i got mine! The site i play at use them and i was asking questions about it as it seemed like a good starter rif. Turns out one of the otheres there had bought s mew one but not used it a lot, so a deal was done. 😁 I did strip it down a couple of nights ago and saw that there is only a flimsy ring between the barrel and hopper. Its been added to the top of my shopping list! Lol

Nothing flash or fancy but it is my first. 😍

How times have changed! Back in my day it was a Prince from Nigeria! Lol

It's a silk matte filament. I got a box of 5 reels, all in different colour combinations, as a present off my daughter. I can ssk her where she got them from if you'd like.

Never knew about that one. Mind you, I only found out last year that if you turn your phone to landscape, you get the web page intead of the mobile page!!!! Who knew?!?

Ok, another make today. I got my hard case very cheap. The foam was a bit wet and the case needed a bit of a clean. So case cleaned, foam towel dried then put in the airing cupboard overnight. Stuck it back in the case and it didnt quite feel dry enough so i printed a couple of vented silica gel holders, grabbed some reusable silical gel out of my filament filament dry box, put them all together and bish bash bosh . . . . after 24 hours, the silica gell had turned brown, meaning it had absorbed as much moisture as it could. Ive just refilled them, so back in they go.

If you don't do no. 3, are you even a man? 🙈 🤣🤣🤣

That is a damn fine idea.

Should have clarified, on android. 😁

On one of the other forums i frequent there is a button at the bottom of the page that, when pressed, takes you back to the top of the page, doing away with all the needless scrolling. Can that be added here? Not essential but just one of those nice little touches.

Are paintball eye pro suitable for airsoft?
-
With the caveat that someone might know of a specific exception, and that you should always be careful about buying generic "Paintball airsoft motorcycle adventure military action sport hobby fancy dress" gear from eBay or Amazon: yes.
(Legit) paintball masks are full face, full seal, and have to withstand higher energies than airsoft specific gear.
I use a Valken Annex MI-7 paintball mask with dual pane lenses that's commendably resistant to fogging. DYE branded masks are particularly well regarded.

Not massively brilliant but when I got my RIF, one of the clamp blocks (?) on the front sight was missing. A few minutes in Tinkercad, 24 minutes on the printer and . . . . . I need to tweak it a little ang grab a new bolt/nut from work but I'm happy.
-
@Lozart and all others, Thanks. I won't be a newbie forever! 😁
-
Ah, I'd missed that. Yes, definitely Li-Ion. Do I still need to balance charge them then?
-
Ok, I'm confused a little. When you storage charge it does that mean the charger does something other than charge it as you would normally expect? Then you leave it unplugged? I presumed storage charge was leaving it plugged in the charger like an intelligent trickle charger?

The 'What have you just bought' Thread
DanBow replied to Cameron364's topic in Guns, Gear & Loadouts
Not quite what have I just bought but its all been in the last few days. Valken Kilo RIF. Used SkyRC S65 Balance charger. New Dean to XT60 adapters. New 6000 x Nuprol RZR BBs. New (lol) Nuprol Large wheeled hard case. Used Bolle Tracker 2 eye pro. New DeltaMike Mini. New Feeling good with myself. -
Thats an interesting one, my charger has a discharge function.
-
I've done a quick search of the forum but found nothing, so . . . . I've got my RIF, 2 x 7.4v Li-Ion batteries and a SkyRC S65 balance charger. Both batteries have been balance charged but I wont be playing for a few weeks as I work shifts. I see on the charger that there is a storage function, do I need to keep them plugged in if I'm not going to use them for a while? Does the charge dissipate over time? What say you?

There used to be loads of army surplus stores around. I remember there being an Army and Navy store on what seemed like every street corner back in the day. Car boot sales too but they are few and far between now. I haven't seen a good old fashioned army surplus store for ages! Especially anywhere near me.
