How dare you Sir... I demand satisfaction! I choose .2 bb's at dawn Monday the eleventyth of Movember. 😉

So you didn't wait to see your grenade go off?

A simple bubble test should find the source of any leak before you go buying the wrong part.

Probably the busiest thread at the moment so I'll try and end it by saying... The Nazi's never weighed their BB's.

Of course... I really need to watch that again. Based my M14 on BHD (as many others have too).

which movie?

https://bbguns4less.co.uk/products/nuprol-large-hard-case-with-wheels-in-green.html Just bought an oil bottle for my M2 I always wondered how the sling & oil bottle on M1/M2 carbines didn't loosen & fall out during combat but after fitting this today I now know the problem would be getting the bugger out to use.

Story of my life but with less princesses in bikini's

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
