Ideally if you're going to fit an aluminium RIS instead of the foregrips you should choose the box like extendible stock, so you can fit the battery in it, because it looks a right pig's ear if you can see the battery and wiring through the holes in the RIS. This is mine:

Looking good, James.

It is too small to take an ordinary airsoft main spring. There is a 130% spring designed to upgrade the CM.030 Glock 18C AEP and other similar AEP's, but it is probably more expensive than you would want to spend on a springer pistol and i'm not 100% sure it would fit. Your other problem is that the sear, the part which locks the spring back and moves to release it, will be made of pot metal at best and maybe plastic: it will fail quite quickly if you fit a more powerful spring to the gun. Your best bet is to sack it and get an actual airsoft pistol, if a pistol is what you want. What do you use it for?

Have a look at this. & welcome to the forums

Yeah Chicom chest rigs hold 1 mag in each of the four pouches. They are loose but you can't get 2 in there. The looseness is handy for getting them out quickly though and it's not enough to make them clatter into each other. The thing with mixing mid and high capacity mags is that the hicap will rattle, even in your gear rather than your gun. I often use a few mids and 1 hi as a backup, or for those times when you're the last man defending. You can get about 800rnds in a hicap RPK mag and that is enough to keep half the players on site with something to worry about. The way to minimise rattle is to fill the mag then wind it to full tension, then top it up so there's just a small gap between the level of BB's and the lid, then insert a piece of foam about as big as the last joint of your thumb and jam the lid down. It will start rattling as soon as you fire a few bursts and wind it though, but while it's in your gear it'll make less noise than your breathing and general battle rattle.

VFG and hold the M4 by the magwell.... booo... hissssssssssssssss!

Replica КАСКА 6Б7-1М helmet with SS Leto cover + shipping to the UK - 110 USD ~ tacgear.ru

Paid for the Bars uniform on the 26th Nov and the boots on 12th Dec.

No, you need to use Google Translate. If you order, on the order form "Index" means post code and in the box where it asks for your shipping option, just write "shipping to UK". They will email you. The real bugger about using their webby is not the Russian, it's the lack of a search box... V^^VGrrrrrrrrrrrrr!

The trouble is that when you order from profarmy.ru they send you an invoice including shipping by email and it's payable to their PayPal account in USD. I have spoken to a few people who have bought from them so I went for it - waiting for a Bars uniform, similar to a Partizan (SS Leto camouflage) and a pair of Harpy boots - $83 and $73 including shipping respectively. So pretty good prices anyway. They do take a few days to sort you out via email though.

Just to add that a G36KV comes with an adjustable stock and that stock can be fitted to any G36 variant - it's one of the reasons I bought one - an SRC (and i'm not sure i'd recommend it TBH because although it is a good gun, there are bits which are proprietary for no good reason, like the hop unit, which limits the upgrade potential somewhat).

So my ESS Turbofan knock offs turned up - I'm quite impressed by the build quality in the main, but the rubbery frame under and above the lenses has holes in it for ventilation which, imo, could allow a BB through due to the material's flexibility. I only noticed it when I peeled the dust filter foam off, so I'm doubly glad that I did... So I've stitched it with some brass wire and it now seems solid enough: I'm not sure what to do about the area above the eyes, because it seems like a good idea to leave the foam dust filter in place, to make the fan pull air only from inside the frames, rather than sucking it easily down from outside. But under the foam the frame is the same as below, so maybe I ought to put some wire over the top of the foam...

I think that RM do ship LiPo's but they have a limit on the number of cells you can post in one parcel.

I'd go for the bottom of the 2 i linked above. It needs a 30mm mount, but u can use 6 AAA batteries or 2 x 18650, so that gives u flexibility, plus a cheap 30mm mount is a bit more solid than cheap 25mm ones.

Everything that Loz has just said is good advice, but just in case you are available to be recruited to the dark side, i will show you my first gun: CM.028U Tactical AK-47 €91.14 + €15-ish shipping You need a UKARA registration to import and a spring downgrade which twg will do for you for the cost of the spring (pm me for important deets)

I'm not sure what ali blend this one is because afaik "Ultrafire" is a label which several manufacturers use; it may well be pot metal, but a year ago they were definitely advertised as 7075 and by the weight of mine it definitely is ali rather than zamak alloy. I forget now how much mine cost, but i think it was a bit more than the £11 they want for that one. This one is cheaper and better, although it is 6061T, which is slightly weaker ali, but still strong enough to mill AR15 lower receivers from.

I'm definitely not part of the 'you get what you pay for' camp, as there are plenty of companies in airsoft trading on past glories. But I bought a PDI barrel for my Vz61 Scorpion and the range increase was impressive, so I bought another for my SVD and the range on that is spectacular. So basically PDI are not all hype. Whether their stuff is worth the money is only something you can decide, but as a comparison my SVD gained around 10m of effective range compared to a Madbull Ultimate TBB. So I would say if you can afford PDI, get PDI. For an AEG their 6.05mm barrels are probably best, so you will need to change springs to maintain your FPS. I've also had good results from chromed brass barrels - Guarder 6.02mm and Falcon 6.03mm. I'm not sure whether to recommend the Falcon Dual Point hop rubber which can come supplied with their barrels because, although they do improve accuracy, they struggle to lift 0.25g BB's a little, so I've found i get greater range from 0.2g BB's but, of course, this makes accuracy at extreme range much more subject to wind conditions. However with my AK-74 I can reliably hit crouching man sized targets at 55m so long as the wind isn't gusty, although that has a 455mm long barrel. If you read this thread I go into some of the issues surrounding barrels.

It's 7075 aluminium.

Yeah, show us Samurai!

Yeah modern Russian slings have a tight tube of elastic around the front clip.

Ah I didn't realise the anniversary one had the metal receiver.

There's a lot to be said for getting a cheap gun to learn tech skills on.

I don't know if it will fit without modification, but I wonder why you're getting the limited edition wombat machine if you're going to change the handguards anyway - may as well just get a plain CM from Zero One cheaper.

Yeah, but if we're recommending the dark side, a CM.048 is better and within his price range.

I think objectives with a time element make people braver, which is particularly good on days when there's a lot of hire gunners.
