You want the higher ones. Low profile ones might not let you mount the scope.

Once you have a working set of higher ones you can start to mess about finding lower ones having measured the gap. Taking the guess work out of it. Nothing worse than going too low.

Higher ones will also help with that dyei4 mask in your profile! Again going to low will mean you have to bring the rifle up higher to the eye. It's generally easier to have the scope higher and the adjustable butt plate extended down to make  your sighting position as natural and comfortable as possible. It'll improve your aim because everything will be working with your body shape rather than you having to contort to the gun.

In woodland I’d definitely suggest a 40 objective over a 32.

The Front element size means nothing. You have to look at the FOV values.

The Curve of the front element will give you more field of view not the size of the glass. A larger element may give better light transfer but only on a decent scope.

Looking at a static point 100M away the area you will see through each scope.

The 2-7x32 has 15.5M at 2x and 4.7M at 7x.
The 3x9x40 has 13M at 3x and 4.2M at 9x.

A different brand vortex also do a 3x9x40.
It only has 10.4M at 3x and 3.8M at 9x. Flatter front element.

Vortex also do a 3-9x50. Larger front element
It has even less FOV. 9.8M at 3x and 3.9M at 9x.

It's not a clear cut solution to just think more glass is better. Never has been. The disadvantage of a more curved front element is distortion at the field edges. However that only has a major effect if you need to use the full scope for a holdover. We don't have the range in airsoft to care about this.

Light transmission is a factor, but technology has pushed glass manufacture to a point where even cheap lenses can have clear glass with good light transmission. Long gone are the days of dark scopes because you couldn't afford premium glass.

Flatter elements are better for parallax adjustment for range finding. They give better target separation so you can use the scope as a more effective range finder provided you know the size of the object you are shooting at. Again very useful for target shooters and snipers since they operate against targets of know size. And can use a conversion table of size, zoom and parallax to work out holdovers for a killing shot.
 

Frankenrifle.

Apart of me just died ! 🤮

what are you doing to that poor gun? i'm calling the RSPCG!

Finally got the sru slide off ups from trying to bullshit their way to keep my product. Had consistency issues from the internals that SRU supplied with. Swapped them all for stock we parts, so I might have as well saved $50 from just buying the slide itself (contacting evike about it). And now the little metal bendy wire for the trigger just snapped which means the trigger doesn't work anymore. I LOVE WE!

shoulda returned it lol

Sounds like you're having a mare with that G

christ I now understand why peeps don't run g18cs. Shit is all going wrong but I will fix it up.

cuz i may invest in one of these: https://www.evike.com/products/74238/

Once you go black, you don't go back.

Do not listen to Roger, tan is the path to Hell.  Grey is good though.

i'd say green gas going by the mag in the photo, and i'm making the presumption that the op wasn't stupid enough to put something like co2 in a green gas mag.

Na, I give. It is partially my fault for using co2 mags even though it was only at 310 fps. It is a mixture of it being a lemon slide + me using co2 which apparently, invalidates their policy.

There is still something to said about milspec customer service though, because whilst they aren't wrong, they've taken a reach douchey way about it claiming that it is their first time hearing about slides breaking and not dealing with it just because it is not a "known issue".

Can't win this, just time to move on. I wouldn't be able to return it anyway because I was retarded enough to pass the gas mag on. Ah well. Guess i'll be looking at new slides.

Do you just call them directly?

Pretty much.

Ring Fire-Support, tell them you're selling a RIF 2nd hand and you'd like to verify the other guys UKARA.

He'll ask for the UKARA, their name and postcode (so be sure to get this first) and then let you know if it's valid.

Yes all maple leaf and it still isn't straight at all. I might get some pliers to pull the arm out a bit 

Ok, new maple leaf barrel, hop and bucking and it shoots 320-300 fps consistently now from 360 avg wtf

Hence a fair few sites don’t allow Co2 guns on site 

Guess i will need an npas

Wait, i will see what will happen when the maple leaf hop, crazy jet, and some amg upgrades will do first

which gun? i've found we stuff to be very variable, some stuff like the 226 and the makarov are excellent (especially the makarov) but other stuff like the luger need to stretch the definition of "hop"

we g force g18c. Full hop only pushes one side down haha but glad i bought a maple leaf which is on the way

yeah a common theme i've noticed is both the sig and makarov needed a wee spacer (just a cut up square of aeg hop) to get enough lift to run a maple leaf.

however, considering the sig now saves itself for when i feel like going on sniper troll patrol the results are quite impressive.

that said, i had to pull the same trick on my hicapa when i got it (admittedly secondhand).

I want to use co2 tho and there are upgrades available

@GemsHD If you use a green gas it's true that the front screw post likes to destroy itself, but a Guarder frame (has more plastic and a brass insert around the front post) will fix that right up and feels nicer too.

Urgh, I can't stand buying from outside the common market.  VAT + duty + then being pumped with a charge for the privilege of being allowed to pay VAT + duty is the insult after the injury. I prefer to pay up front rather than to wait for a random spin on the Wheel-O-Imports.
