Qlimax, looks the nuts. I must say, that flash hider just looks nicely naughty

 

More of mine, Now have a Tripod and working on getting the original box mag into the ammo tin and running a long tube up.

this might be of some use if your trying to connect the box mag and gun up https://www.retroarms.com/other/bowden-spring-for-m249-m60-mags

[To give strangers BBs or not]

I'm kind of with lozart on this one, tend to use .28's for my main, but always keep some cheap .2 and .25 as a throw away for anyone running out mid game (I've got 2 of those ammo pouch bags, one for each set). hell, when I first started there were plenty of times when I ran out of ammo, and some kind person lent me a couple of hundred to tide me over till endex, and I'm all for encouraging the younger players. all for one, and one for all

[Gun picture thread]

bit of an update, as if it wasn't unwieldy enough lol.

next things will be some RIS on the side for the funky looking vltor bipods, possibly to "sink" the launcher into the gun, slightly less weight, slightly lower profile.

 

 

[Load-Out / Loadout Picture topic]

first try with the kydex mag pouches, very happy with them, only had one fall out, and that was from a running jump/fall, planning to use either velcro or elastic to prevent it next time.

highly recommended, great service, great quality.

 

Have had my knife done, and sets of perspex business cards made up and am very happy with them (will be posting photos when I get home again, sat/mon).

 

10/10 will be using them again.

[Any opinions on ACU Digital camo?]

Have you considered ABU, slightly more interesting looking, in my opinion?

[Better name than Airsoft.]

Don't the russians have 2 versions, the (what we would call) normal airsoft of around the 328fps, and then the "hardcore" version called Strikeball where the average power is around the 500fps for assault rifles? just from memory so may be wrong.

[Kydex Holsters]

thanks, I was thinking about using some wood or something for the base, but I haven't seen any pics or anything else obvious. will post an update when finished.

[Kydex Holsters]

Quick question regarding kydex holsters, planning to make a couple for my M82 mags, but I was thinking, is it possible to do one side absolutely flat?

thanks

and I know this could be classed as a necro, but I thought it would be more efficient than doing a new topic.

[Ed, Let's play a game]

have any of you been on the heretics facebook, I swear I've got a following even though I recognise maybe 2 of them, and I don't think even they have seen my face.

Any other comments: few bits, which came next day, very happy service, good quality parts as well

[CM.040, issues, assistance required.]

Combination, initially blaster Devils 0.25, then some aimpoint 0.28, and some Taiwan 0.2 same with problems with all of them.

[CM.040, issues, assistance required.]

as some of you saw in the "what have you just bought" thread, I recently purchased a brand new CM.040 (taiwangun had it on offer for a short period of time so I cannot replace it).

I wanted to leave it as stock as possible so the only thing I have done is change the connector to deans.

 

for the first 6 hours (2-3000rds) it was working brilliantly, good range, mediocre ROF (using a 7.4v lipo), and very solid, but after about 3000rds, it started not hopping seemingly random rounds (getting worse as it was going), and then rounds seemed to be getting jammed in the barrel with it not firing for a period then blurting them all out, I was disabling and enabling the hop, and cleaning the barrel continuously, but still having the issue.

 

I am asking this as there are relatively large amount of AK users with similar rifles who may have found easy fixes before I start stripping it down, I'm assuming it's something to do with the bucking but a visual inspection shows no issues.

 

please help.

thanks

[what do you carry your stuff in?]

combination of 1 of these for my gear (plate carrier etc)

 

http://www.cotswoldoutdoor.com/mountain-equipment-wet-dry-kit-bag-140l-65110105?id_colour=3633 (albeit I bought mine several years ago)

 

and 2 of these for guns and ancillaries

and of course

(as a disclaimer, the above is not mine, far too clean)

[The 'What have you just bought' Thread]

valentina,

CM040, with a PSO copy and a spare hi-cap, feels solid, and I like her,

 

 

may end up fitting the UGL as a battery compartment and painting the furniture OD (a very dark OD)

[Ed, Let's play a game]

not to bad a heresy, but still a heresy, behold,

I actually really like the gun, started out as a Army R85, and the only thing holding her back is the lack of a magazine release guard.

[Quick Questions & Simple Answers.]

I'm looking for a set of MOLLE clips to attach my camelback to my plate carrier, but the only ones that look right come in MTP (I need black, OD or ATACS FG)

this is the sort of thing I'm looking for http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/British-Issue-MTP-MOLLE-Clips-Fixing-for-Camelbak-Hydration-Osprey-Armour-/201207182896?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_3&hash=item2ed8e1f630

[R85A1 Magazines]

the MAG ones will fit and work without modifications, it's just that they're that bit more snug with the tape around them.

[R85A1 Magazines]

I've found that MAG midcaps work perfectly (with a layer of electrical tape) in all 4 that I have tested, if memory serves, the G&G mags seem to be sub par considering the build of their rifles, with many complaining that they do not feed in many guns.

[Quick spring change]

the ZCI gearbox that ak2m4 sells has a quick change feature.

[First AK, recommendations please]

so that means that it actually has take down pins, and not the ubiquitous TM screws lol.

and it is of a solid build, hopefully to the extent of being able to pummel someone with.

[First AK, recommendations please]

Basically I'm looking for a solid spare rifle which is cheap enough and robust enough to lend out to friends, while still having the capability of being a good rifle, aiming for a stalker style look but if you can show me a better model for a cheaper price, I'd be very happy.

 

this is the one I'm currently looking at:

http://www.taiwangun.com/en/cm-040-cm?from=listing&campaign-id=19

with 2 150rd and possibly this:

http://www.taiwangun.com/en/scope-for-svd-dragunow-a-c-m?from=listing&campaign-id=14

 

if memory serves, ian did quite a thorough guide on the CM ak lineup, and I believe the linked one is a VFC clone.

basically, what are people's thoughts, and is it fit for purpose as a bashing around rifle.

[G&G L85a2 semi auto issue]

combination of the above "releasing the trigger too quickly/not letting it finish it's cycle" and having a lower powered battery/motor.

what battery are you using?
