AK47frizzle

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.

I did some calculations and for a we g18 pistol, it would cost around £100 including shipping and customs 20% hit. It would cost £125 to just buy from milspecsolutions next working day... 

Hmm. Choices.

Well I think that solves that problem for you ! 👍😁

Never heard of them either so caveat emptor.  I was surprised when in HK earlier in the year how small many of these retailers are.  Even well known ones such as ehobby and WGC are relatively small affairs.

Well, was planning to buy it because of the preupgraded slide of different aesthetic of the lower but I can see some people going "urgh" because of the silver slide. There is a black version too which I might to for because of the more subtle look. Idk, but it's on my radar atm. 

it's not just the slide, it's the gold barrel, orange safety lever, flared magwell and gold pins as well

guess imma get this version then, and upgrade the shit out of it

I think he's more asking where he's got to. I've not seen him about on here in a long time now.

Think he mainly plays war thunder and uploads videos of that these days.

Sorry wrong Ed I think..

Get a short sniper and pistol in one! TM Mk23 upgraded.

@Prisce - nearly right - get two!
TM mk23 for side arm, upgraded ASG mk23 with long barrel and carbine kit for DMR - and kill ALL the people!

To be fair, I would probably suggest the ASG Mk23, with one of @Samurai‘s suppressors, ML50, ML fang, Hadron TDC mod, Crazy jet 132mm barrel. Feed it .4g+ and you won’t want anything else.

That lot there won’t set you back £100 if you get from the right places;)

owch, sucks man, i have literally the opposite to deal with here, 150fps m16 that'll reach out with the rest of the field not that people feel the hits when they get there.

What amazes me is when our horrifically expensive shoddy plastic and pot-metal toys actually work at all.

I had a weekend where all 3 guns I took chrono'd within 5fps of the limit, and shot flawlessly. 2 AUGs 1 G3.

My ex gun tech shooting partner on the other hand.

Stripped the securing bolt on his king arms slr. (looks like we will have to get a new bolt and insert machined up).

Failed to chrono the sa80. (15fps over)

Had a cyma AKM lower disintegrate, Mag lug just fell off it at the chrono.

He ended up using the gun he only took to chrono. WE M14 EBR with HPA conversion.

To cap off his day he took a BB point blank in the cheek coming round a wall. So he went home looking like the elephant man.

In my experience somewhat of a fallacy - surface finish matters more than bore diameter and I believe that for next to the same money a PDI 6.05 will serve you better, but I know of people who use them to great success.

haha found this 

Don't tell anyone that my opinion has changed Mine worked really well but up against the PDI stuff I own I've begun to see they're about the same and one is brass (and one is steel); one doesn't have a long pedigree and the other does, so that would be my reason to putting the PDI above it in the long-run. Also on Daytona Gun they (Orga wide bores) make a lot of sense in the MGs to be less prone to jamming and to reduce muzzle energy without hampering cycling, so with that specific set of circumstances I'd probably recommend one. I still use an Orga wide bore and Prometheus in that MG for those very reasons.

So in short: Is wider diameter any better? No. Will they perform just as well as any of the other top tier brands? Yes.

I've used heavier weights in a 6.05 with flat hops and R-hops to great effect. I believe the notion at the time was that the BB bouncing less on the walls (due to being cushioned mre by air in a wider bore barrel) would produce a more consistent stream of BBs when using anything above .25s, but I've not seen this. I don't think there's much of a consensus on the matter though as you're looking at a small subset of people who bother using .30s, .32s etc. and flat hop/R-hop and use a wide bore

Personally I wouldn't.

It can be done, but I personally don't think the risk (eyes, face, hands) outweighs £15 for another.

I'd chuck it in a pan in the garden, with the lid on, and take it to the tip at the first opportunity.

Agree with him self , for the sake of £10-15 not worth risking your self doing the repair AND the extra risk after when charging it or the risk to your gun from a potentially knackered battery ? 

If you use 0.4s, you may as well just stick to .20s in your pistol, there'll be no difference in range or accuracy.

If you use 0.43s or higher, the quantum toricelli effect comes into play and you will find your BBs will be like slicing through the air on rails for upwards of 150m. That's how the youtubers get those super long shots - with 0.43 and higher BBs.

Where’s your sarcasm emoji gone Ash?
