    ginger colin got a reaction from Dan Robinson in RIFs on a Plane   
    When I went to Hong Kong. The airlines were fine. It was recomended to me to get two receipts for tax reasons.  At Hong Kong Airport I got sent to an inspection office where they coded it as a war game item. I put it in my case and had no probs.  A friend also recommends splitting it in 2 and putting it in 2 suitcases. He brought me back an A&K M60 for just under £200. Good luck.

    ginger colin got a reaction from John_W in Rare guns. Should you buy them   
    I have just stumbled across a S&T DSR-1. It's the air cocking type in tan.  I didn't know they did it in tan and it  comes with all sorts of barrel attachments and a quick release silencer.  It's not cheap. I have the ares gas and love it but thus looks amazing in tan.

    ginger colin got a reaction from Nick G in WE M16A1's, any good?   
    Hi. I purchased one from zero one about 4 years ago with 3 spare mags. I knew the plastic nozzles were shite so I got an RA tech Ali nozzle from China the same week. Apparently at one point they were sending out 2 nozzles with them in the hope you wouldn't complain.
     
    My plastic nozzle broke in fantastic style after 3 mags.  A few years later it's off the wall and running the RA tech nozzle.  New out the box it feels solid but light. The front grip flexes and crackles on its joints as you test it. The gun feels great in your shoulder and overall 7 out of 10 for feel. 
     
    The mags are a good weight and remind you not to spray and prey. The RA tech nozzle is fps adjustable with an awkward unique style torque/  allen key at a slight angle. On fitment mine hit 350 first shot 320's there after. 
     
    There is a good you tube vid on fitting the RA tec nozzle and he says "keep the small inner fly valve spring for consistant fps".   I did this and I'm pretty happy.  
     
    Single is great. A really good kick that tests your cheap fillings. Full auto is only good for burst but it is still a massive amount of fun.   Don't expect a full mag dump. 
     
    I run 0.25g and love double tapping. With three spare mags you use your side arm when you are meant to. 
     
    Hop isn't too  bad considering you have to take the rear pin out crack it and use a fiddly little allen key in the piston  guide area.
     
    If you get one, it's  a keeper.  Watch out for repro real steel stocks and grip bundles at about £150 in green brown or black. The originals were very brittle some don't bother looking.
     
    It's on the wall till next month, I'm happy.

    ginger colin got a reaction from Rogerborg in TM Hi Capa mag won't fill up with gas   
    Firstly simply take the plastic base plate off and tighten the Philips screw.  They work loose. Failing that take the base out and reseat the seal with silicon grease

    ginger colin got a reaction from Nick G in Post covid shottie gas project.   
    Hi. Like many, this project was started a long time ago. If you are a lover of shotguns you know the H&S mad max shottie shells are terrible. After acquiring x10 madbul Co2 shells a friend lathed up an adapter to run through the gun. Post covid I have dusted it all off and only 2 madbul shells have a small leak. I haven't stripped them down yet but I'm sure the reset mechanism is going to end up pinging across the room.  I have spotted a few madbul shell copies out there and purchased a Show Girls mini launcher with a shell mainly to test the shell. Side by side the two brands are pretty close only time and pressure will tell if the Show Girls is as reliable as the Madbul. The adapter works well and gives you a total capacity of x12 6mm bb's.  My shottie barrels are 8mm and this will be my room clearing shell.  The old adapters were one offs and took a lot of time.  I'm looking in to 3D printing more shell adapters and will open the hole out to 8mm so you have a combi of x5   6mm in the shell and x5    8mm in the adapter.  One problem with the original lathed adapters was getting tooling in to put a seal groove in the end for bb retaining.  3D printed I'm thinking you could easily offset the seal to create a bit of hop.  I hope this gets you thinking and dusting off unfinished projects.

    Hi.  Sorry your request is well out of my league.  When I was in HK there was a couple of shops that had amazing uniforms with excellent attention to detail. Sorry I can't remember the names.  However, have you looked on Ali express there is all sorts of stuff. You may be able to find someone who advises manufacturers. Good luck

    ginger colin got a reaction from Paul72 in Help from the experienced about purchasing a M1A1 THOMSON   
    Hi I was in Hong Kong in 2013 when I picked this up. It is the cyma version licensed by cyber gun. I think they promptly relaunched as snow wolf. I kept the press cuttings on smashing the factory up and reviews on the gun. Its a bit of a collectors piece and the paperwork backs that up... hence I only ever test shot it.
     
    I'm not sure on the value. I might look for an appraisal

    The rear sight is loose. A small tab drops down inside the slide.  Slide off. It's obvious when it's off. Very close tollerance
