Same reason I got 2... still not used them tho.

I run a couple on my L85's but mainly for the looks, never got in the way or used as an actual bipod but I'm a slowpoke so not likely to get a lot of harsh use. I had one delivered broken so I fully expect them to be weak & prone to damage.

Cancel that, just realised I never got one today.

So, I did a thing... The M16 above & it's issues were annoying me (I don't like a broken toy), so despite it being a wall hanger I've ordered the bits I need to get it working properly. Complete gearbox (don't think the one in it is the original, doesn't fit very well) Pistol grip (wanted the older style anyway but reckon I stripped the threads trying to force the motor in. A previous wiring bodge is prevented the motor fitting properly) Ejector cover (securing clip is broken) Body pins ( rear pin had lost it's securing bits & falls out if you look at it funny) I've tested the motor & it's working so I'll await the postie knocking on my door but sure delivery will be the end on July.

Sometimes this can be sorted by flicking between full & single shot, there' a thread about this topic somewhere but I'm not sure where. If you end up chucking it in the canal, I have one for sale ?

Just you, I'm getting email notifications.

It's already fallen off the stand a dozen times.

Other sites have it firing 4.5mm bb's, I'll assume those are steel ones. https://www.daileisure.co.uk/springfield-m1-carbine-co2-blowback

I reckon I need to evict my boy so I can get a bigger mancave, every time I rejig my walls I end up with spare pews. 5 now needing a home & an H&K SL8 in another corner looking for lodgings 20250604_163243.mp4

But I already have an XM177

Me too.

How it looked when it arrived & how it looks now... My version of a Colt 9mm SMG Not a lot of modifications required TBH, birdcage muzzle device to replace the XM177 one, barrel cut down & tidied up, 9mm mag insert with paddle release cut down, 3D gas deflector from twistedfate & the ejector cover cut down. Everything else is stock OTB.

Came as a box of bits, not currently working but she may dance again some day. CYMA CM009 M16A3

Dunno if I have any gripes but I've probably been guilty of some/most of the above. I am guilty of lowballing but always happy to haggle with the seller, if I must pick something I don't like it'll probably be not sending feedback after I've sent mine.

Got this from Defcon Airsoft, it's a Double Bell so nothing fancy & is unlikely to ever see any gameplay. It's a base AR for a Colt 9mm SMG build, I'm not a thread counter so I'll get it as close as I can without getting stupid. Got a gas deflector to rattle can then fit, inner barrel to cut down (where's my dremel?) and the mag release to cut flush in the magwell then Bob's your auntie & Fanny's your craddock.

Pics or it never happened. ?

Bugger that... let us all know.

The pre cold war pews I've bought recently did't have enough room on my display so a couple of PPSH were sat in a corner looking sad, I bought the M2 Carbine on Sunday and this prompted a wee rejigging of my walls, My'sniper' wall was bigger but with less toys so I swopped them about & here are the results. My other walls will need a tidy soon too as I've sold 3 and got another AR on it's way from Defcon.

For me too now, well done to whoever sorted it.

Still knackered for me too. Missing my fix TBH, looks like I picked the wrong week to stop drinking.

Just picked up this M2 from Miêu Anh-Nguyễn , will go nicely with my pre-cold war collection. p.s. I'll add the pics once the webbie is fixed.

Rule of thumb is 60-70% of current new prices so £500-600 with the mags IMO.

Even something like command strips that will come off easily? a small bit of foam maybe even cut wedge shaped or just chamfered so you can still insert a mag without breaking it off?

Have a look at https://www.youtube.com/@c7viper on YT, the crap he gets in boxes is unlikely to match any good stuff he gets in them.
