Once it was dispatched from toxicant it took only a couple of days, customs wasn't an issue. That said one of the guide rods isn't straight - so looks like I've got a lemon.

Pretty sure I am going to have to fill in an import form because I just had to fill in one for some blue training MWS pmags, and a hop up rubber. Not that bothered by it as long as they don't seize it! Thanks for the input guys.

Just ordered a Toxicant MCX direct from them and I am a bit confused as to whether it counts as a RIF when its missing an inner barrel? Maybe someone who's ordered one can tell me if customs got real upset about it (I've asked Toxicant to put my UKARA on it just in case).

@aidandeng Without looking at it and knowing exactly what part in the hammer assembly is worn, replacing the whole unit would probably be an easier solution: https://www.kyairsoft.com/accessories/components-parts/we-complete-hammer-assembly/we-f-series-complete-hammer-set-f226-f229.html Because the gun vents gas at the end it tells me that its a run away (the hammer isn't locking back). Sounds like this is a relatively common issue just to do with wear: https://www.airsoftsniperforum.com/threads/full-auto-conversion-mod-of-p226.13758/ . Might also be worth checking if the bloke put an enhanced hammer spring in it because if the hammer spring is too powerful then it wouldn't lock back all the way.

Awesome, thanks for the initial review. What brand of mags were you using?

@Diablo675! Found a spring for you man: https://www.replicantairsoft.com/webshop/en/inicios/2065-mp7a1-fire-selector-bar-spring-mgg1-81-tokyo-marui.html In other news I ordered a Revanchist Gold Power Nozzle Valve for a VFC MP5 and because rumour has it they fit and could be interesting for running propane in summer (could be a terrible idea). And my FPS woes are now solved. I'd done the screw too tight on the hop up when doing a barrel change, leading to a 40fps jump! Am now comfortably able to use propane in winter.

A few lessons learnt from tinkering with my TM MP7: If you want to use propane and its shooting too hot, you can buy a pack of these as replacement rocket valve springs to cut them down to size to get the fps you are looking for: https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B076M27VH2 much cheaper and easier to source than buying individual originals from TM. Changing from stock to a Laylax purple hop rubber and 6.03 barrel somehow lowered my fps when the hop was set for .25s. I assume this is because the hop rubber is softer. With a T2 + unity high mount clone you can get a decent cheek-weld and sight picture even with a full mask like a empire EVS. I found overfilling the mags with bbs causes the the mag to put pressure on the nozzle and not feed the first round - this could just be a tolerance with my gun though. Changing the barrel sucked, I kept knocking the trigger bar out and I wish to never do it again. I was going to put a silicon ML hop rubber in my MP7 but after seeing so many bad reports I left it out and went with the Laylax purple one instead. Also red dot recommendations: Vortex Crossfire is good and you can get custom protectors for it on ebay from red_dot_engineering

Just double checking before I buy a test batch, is ASG ultra air lower power than nuprol 2.0? I would have assumed so but patrol base have it listed as "more powerful than normal green gas".

Nothing you should need to lubricate before use, however if the nozzle is sticky you might want to lube that a tiny bit before you play so you don't get squishy trigger (like I did). So is the general consensus that ASG Ultra Air Power is less powerful than Nuprol 2.0? Even though some people (and shops) claim that Ultra air is a higher pressure green gas.

Thanks for this, that makes me feel a lot better that it's not an anomaly.

https://gsp-airsoft-shop.de/detail/index/sArticle/1549 Here is the only place I could find that stocks alternate barrels. Would be nice if we can turn it into a PCC.

Is there any wearing on the outer-barrel? (can you see if the slide might be rubbing on the outer barrel)

Just got a new TM MP7A1 and on Green gas its shooting around 348fps on 0.2g at 11 degrees. I haven't seen any reviews where its been shooting this hot. I've since replaced the nozzle with an enhanced guarder one and started using white/blue gas, and cranked the hop a bit which gets me safely under the limit for my field (350fps on 0.2g or 1.14J). I don't have anywhere to set the hop until gameday so I just had to guess. Could it be that I am overfilling my mags which is causing this? If so how long do other people fill them for? (I've never used 2 stage valves before). Any other tips for lowering the FPS or filling mags?
