Mack

Hoping for this to be good!
 

it's not 100% DIY as I bought all the parts... but this afternoon with a bit of help from humbrol and my airbrush I turned this:

 
into this:

 
pretty pleased with it

won the sports lottery
 
(no joke, first person I've ever heard of getting a penny back from them, £1800!)

Your bank manager must think you're single handedly winning the war on terror!

Anyone can take them apart - that's the easy bit. Getting them back together in a condition where they still work is the difficult bit!

You'd be surprised. I'm a big g&p fan but their optics are awful, probably just re-branded clones to be honest.

Regardless of how effective a live round is, this is airsoft, and the rule is ridiculous.

If the object falling at terminal velocity happens to be a bullet that came from a gun, I fail to see how they're any different at all. They can both kill you if they hit you.

Awesome. Charlie don't surf!

Not so much bought as given. Arrived at the site yesterday do discover my buddies have bought me an early birthday present: the last pieces required for my Lt. Col. Kilgore impression...

Mancraft – a small company in Poland (www.mancraft.pl) founded by two graduates of Wroclaw University of Technology.
We are producing airsoft parts -mostly for airsoft sniper rifles. We are working hard on conversion kit for AEG. That will be available in coming months.

The company was founded around 2012.
At first we started producing sniper kits for SVD rifles. Next was L96 and VSR standard (for almost all brands and types). In 2013 we decided to start our own regulators line: „normal” and „with manometer”. They have infinitely variable pressure from zero to 15bar.
We are also producing our own CO2 cartridges for 12g co2 capsules.


For now our main product is – SDiK. It's Sniper Drop in Kit - a set of components which allows converting a spring rifle into gas-powered rifle. It is cheap and very effective method to upgrade.

The entire structure was designed from the ground up - as evidenced by the patent issued. The whole is based on a simple and effective system of gas supply that is reliable and durable.

With proper construction and materials, the mechanism does not burden other components of a gun - they may be standard (e.g., the trigger assembly, cylinder etc). Rifle can be reloaded with one finger - overcharging is very smooth.

By using an appropriate regulator it is possible to obtain very stable (+ /-3fps), satisfactory fps.

Using Mancraft regulator provides to continuous adjustment velocity from zero to maximum for the replica (depending on the length of the inner barrel).
Installation of conversion is simple. Usually does not require any modifications.


Test results for 12g CO2 cartridge:
Rifle: L96 with Prometheus 550mm barrel.
Temperature: 15*C



SDiK can be 100% used during the winter. Low temperatures are not problem.


Example values for L96 (Mb-08 Well rifle), 590mm length Edgi barrel, modified hop up chamber:




As always: We do not prefer such high results, but negligible scattering and very easy to reload – this is what we were looking for.


Briefly about the upcoming conversion PDiK and EPDiK:

PDiK – semi-auto conversion kit for AEG rifles. No electronics, no batteries – just pneumatics.

EPDiK – full-auto/burst/semi-auto - fully configurable conversion kit on solenoid.

Both of them will be matching to V2 replicas in first. Next will be all other types of gearboxes: for Ak, P90, M249 etc.

V2 version: Fully modular, adjustable, semi-auto conversion kit. You will be able to quick exchange your body (put conversion kit in other replica) with unscrewing any screw. Stock, Pistol grip, magazine lock – they all will be with the replica all the time. More information soon.

What do you think about that?


If this is wrong place for such thing, or it's inappropriate - sorry for that.

Can you point me to where it says this (highlighted red) in uk law? because I can tell you now it doesnt. Thats a ukara guidline, not a law.

I like that style of grip. I use an AFG on my rifle and its designed to be held that way. My block II M4 is pretty front heavy and holding it like that is far more comfortable than arm further in. Much quicker to aquire targets too as it gives much better "pointability" and control.

Doesn't matter though, even the limited recoil of airsoft moves the gun slightly putting you slightly off target, anything to reduce that is a benefit. Not hugely but a bit nonetheless.
I find that it reduces the amount of sway in a gun a pretty large amount too. Normally you have the vast majority of the weight of the rifle supported by just the very bottom, holding the gun further out and higher up reduces that somewhat, kind of like holding a hockey stick- if you held just the bottom, it's got more mass that can become unstable, hold it half way and it's much less likely.
I don't hold rifles in the full-on thumb over bore style but I tend to hold them much further forward than normal, since my old m14 gave me no choice but to do that as the weight was so far forwards I just carried it over onto pretty much every things else, it's more tiring over extended periods but definitely keeps the rifle more solidly planted in the shoulder.

Until next time you need an allen key and all the tiny ones have mysteriously disappeared without trace.

Is there a bb maybe rolling about in the receiver?

The typical engagement distance at my local is 20-30 meters, I dont need range. .20's are cheaper and you get more

BlackDeath, I just found this on facebook, lol..
 

So far ive been using king arms .20 and .25's in mine with no issues.

That sucks bud. Hope you can one day get back playing again.

Looks much better Cav. Wish I had the balls to do it to my recoil aswell

So, I've finally bitten the bullet and spray camo'd my baby! I was a little nervous of cocking it up, but it's actually pretty easy! I wanted to go for the kind of rough and ready improvised camo that is actually used by units for real, not the very neat and precise exact replicas of camo patterns or designs. No disrepsect tot them, they do look very cool, but I just wanted something a little more realistic, what do you think??...
 

Um, pretty much every special forces unit in the world?
