  1. The only thing I can think of is that they've butchered a Tremors kit into the Cyma EBR Mod 1 that has an M4 buffer tube. Even then, it would need some work because it's not the same gearbox at all. https://www.modify-tech.co/products/tremors-2-recoil-system-for-m4-carbine-1 Also - EBR in this case stands for "Enhanced Battle Rifle" and is nothing to do with blowback or recoil.
  2. Red Alert last weekend, first run out with my Arktis split front chest rig. Worked pretty well, knock off SPUD pouches were...OK. Fine for M4 mags but a bit of a struggle with G3 ones.
  3. I'd stick it in one of the integrated mag pouches on the cummerbund, probably the rearmost one on your non-trigger side (so the left if you're right handed) and route your PTT and headset/earpiece/fist mic up the edge of the rear plate and over your shoulder. Or just chuck it in your back pack.
  4. Sure about that? My A&K definitely does not have a V2 gearbox.
  5. I think the bare minimum they come with is safe/semi/auto. Are you looking for something to do some kind of special engraving?
  6. In the before times it was because there was a character limit on text messages.
  7. First day out in ages, went to Red Alert. Weather was decent - bit humid to start and a light sprinkle of wet stuff around lunch but otherwise ok. M14 failed chrono by a whole 6 fps , my newly built G3SD/MC51 SBS call it what you will was overhopping 0.28sso I figured I'd load up something heavier for the next game as it had plenty of range (happy face) and then it started to jam (sad face). Obviously being of the belief that one is none and all that I had brought 4 guns with me. Couldn't use my new AK because I'm an idiot who didn't check that the battery I had for it would actually fit BUT I had my Gordy clone with me and that was running lovely. Highlight of the day was getting 5 kills with a Tag round. Low point was discovering that the seals have gone in the Fist so I couldn't use any more Tags. Overall a pretty decent day, lunch was good. Decent banter and what seemed to be a pretty good crowd although I did hear some reports of a couple of snipers playing fast and loose with their MED. By that point my knee decided enough was enough so early home for tea and buns!
  8. Like this? https://www.retroarms.com/parts-of-gearbox/centering-screw-for-qsc-spring-guide
  9. If your battery is overheating then either a) you're drawing more current than it can supply - get a bigger battery/fix the problem in the gun or b) you are using shite batteries. The X-ASR 2 is functionally no different than yours. It has a higher overload capacity but that's about it.
  10. Don't buy Nuprol batteries. Try these instead https://www.componentshop.co.uk/batteries/airsoft/li-po-packs/11-1v.html
  11. That's a shame. I know they haven't had the best reputation for customer service but it'll be a shame to see another brick and mortar shop shut down.
  12. Just got a clearance sale 30% off promotion email from Wolf, but at the bottom was a banner; Anyone heard anything about this?
  13. ITAR is only for exports from the US. OP is looking to buy in Europe. Furniture doesn't require an import licence or anything for import to the UK.
  14. All my LVPOs are Vector/Victoptics. My 3x magnifier is also one of theirs and they are all fantastic. Come to think of it I have their Sphinx RMR/Docter type as well. All of them are great.
  15. For something that looks good on either an M4 or MP5, I'd suggest an Aimpoint clone like a Comp M2 or M4 https://www.skirmshop.co.uk/1x30-m2-red-dot-with-cantilever-mount.html or https://www.skirmshop.co.uk/m4-red-green-dot-with-laser.html Alternatively you could look at EoTech clones like this https://www.skirmshop.co.uk/hhs-red-green-holographic-hybrid-sight-e-154208224.html (which also comes with a magnifier for less than £150) but the main issue with cheap holographic clones is that the glass tends to be quite heavily tinted so can be a bit rubbish in low light. The Aim-O brand is decent enough usually.
  16. I don't think it's an issue: Polenar use DHL so at least you won't have the joy of having to provide a firearms declaration (probably). Obviously you'll have to factor in the import duty and VAT and "handling fees".
  17. TL;DR - FMA L/XL sized helmets tend to fit big heads better than others, from personal experience (62cm bonce) the FMA Exfil Bump (Team Wendy knock off) and the FMA PJ style FAST both fit well with plenty of space, others have suggested that the FMA AirFrame is particularly roomy. You may have to remove some of the pads to fit your head properly. Quick note - different shells have a different head shape so one size in an OpsCore style won't necessarily fit the same as the same size in a Team Wendy style. I find the Ops Core ones are too round for my head for example.
  18. Also - I will caveat this by saying that I was told all of this in the past and I never paid attention to it either.
  19. Seriously - protect your hearing while you can. You WILL miss it when you lose it. I have hearing loss and tinnitus caused by noise damage (both industrial and music related - I used to play in a death metal band) and it SUCKS.
  20. Fair, the combination of earplugs and earmuffs is often more than just the sum of the two devices though: https://multimedia.3m.com/mws/media/893191O/earlog-13.pdf?fn=EARLog 13.pdf That shows that the NRR of combined devices can be as much as 50dB. The other thing to consider is situational awareness. If you're wearing ear defenders AND ear plugs to deal with a potential flashbang then you will NOT hear anything else. Attenuation due to distance is governed by an inverse square law which equates to 6dB per doubling of distance. Something that is 120dB at 10m will be 146dB at 0.5m (calculator here: https://www.wkcgroup.com/tools-room/inverse-square-law-sound-calculator/) IN OPEN SPACE! As for the Thunder B - while I can find references to "up to 130dB" I don't see anywhere that it says what distance that is measured at?
  21. Good point very well presented. The main danger will be indoor events, I don't know of any that would actually be covered by their insurance (assuming you're in the UK) for anything over a MK5 indoors so that would immediately drop you to around 120dB. Personally I've never had an issue with anything in the UK while wearing active hearing protection (Earmor M32s and Howard Leight Impact Sports) so I would think you'd be fine. If your local site is allowing TAG grenades like the M67 indoors then I'd be looking for somewhere else to play. Also important to know is that your dB calculation is a bit off:
