I guess it counts as made 🤔 Bought an S&T Mosin on a whim because the price was great from @Pierre It was missing the front sight/muzzle as S&T for some silly reason have it split and held on by a grub screw?! Purchased a PPS mosin barrel (And extras) from @airsoftshooter123 with a hope and dream of fitting the barrel to the S&T After eight hours of grinding, sanding, testing and a lot of “oh ffs” The barrel has been transplanted to the S&T and now I have a “historically accurate” one piece barrel 😂 Found an original Izhevsk front sight too (Which matches the “manufacturer” of the S&T) to finish it off! Eyeing up the bolt action dude upgrade kit & the BAD PU bolt if/when he releases it and a PU scope now. Wrap it in some burlap and go all “Enemy at the gates” 👀

Wood ones being retired anyway, stocks getting really wobbly due to poor securing points. Only used it once 😂 it’ll be a place holder until I can afford a real sword or LCT

Well, I have finally found the cause. After putting the stock piston back into my replica it was still all over the place. Fast forward a few days and I buy a lovely replacement from @strykerles For shits and giggles I figured I’d try the hop up from his (Which was consistent with nearly every shot) and my old wooden furnitured SVD was also consistent! Huzzah!

I think I found the fault. My piston is cracked near enough all the way down… And they’re out of stock 😭

After messing about more and taking the gearbox apart a million times, the issue still persists. FPS is all over the board. I've checked the hop unit a million times too... Very lost. I thought perhaps air seal issue, but I don't think an air seal issue would cause 200 - 300 fps variations?!

I went back to the original black bucking and nub as thought the ML may have been the issue.

Wanna do a third? 😂 I think I found the cause, the nozzle spring is a bit worn and not sitting straight

Gone back to trying to fix this headache. I fitted a Cyma nozzle and cylinder head, fps is all over the place still (114 - 492 on a .28g BB) I noticed the nozzle seems to do this strange “bounce” IMG_8266.mov

When this was initially listed, I was ready to buy it until I saw it was from the Netherlands and his shady "buyers risk" and quickly realised

Replica + 7 mags & 3 - 5 day shipping for £745. Replica alone over here is nearly £700 I must admit, their prices have gone up but then so has WGC (Tiger111 was cheaper than WGC on the ak too!)

Gave in and back ordered a VFC AK74M GBBR from Tiger111HK. Meant to be early March restock, wonder when it will actually be restocked 🤔

You didn’t miss much bud, hit calling was atrocious today - Other than that it was your average day at Splatoon 😂
