  1. Gotcha. In that case I'd be looking at the GBRS Hydra style risers. Given the size of the lens on that mask I think you'd struggle with anything that would assume a "normal" cheek weld. Things like the SSG-1 work because they're designed to work with PB goggles for Lycra clad HPA players to slid about on their knees with. Or of course you could just go HPA Hi-Capa with an M4 mag adaptor and give yourself completely to the dark side.

  3. There's two schools of thought; add a specific pouch if you have a need for it and ONLY if you have a need for it, or put any pouches you want on because airsoft is fun and who says what you can or can't have. Many would argue that the average skirmish game needs neither trauma shears or a bundle of rope but it's up to you how you play toy guns in the woods. No-one else. Personally, I like a dangler pouch because it helps protect the middle age spread but also gives me somewhere to stash pyro, or keys or whatever other minor bits I decide I might need.
  4. Pete at @ak2m4 is my recommendation for parts supply. https://www.ak2m4.co.uk/index.php?route=common/home He's a regular here and is always happy to help and advise!
  5. Anything rubber will probably have dried out so yes, as you suspect it's going to be new hop rubber, gas seals etc at a minimum. Depending on what sort of lube and level of maintenance you were at when the guns went into storage then I'd certainly consider a good overall service. Batteries - absolutely. Get some new ones. If you have Nimh type ones then they've been roundly replaced by LiPo (go for 7.4v ones though). If you already had LiPo be grateful they haven't already burnt your house down and get rid! New seals are cheap, just change them over and then you can sell as "refurbished" rather than "serviced but might still leak like a sieve".
  6. I'm more intrigued to find out why they're selling them on Depop of all places!
  7. At least it isn't JBBG... The site appears to be an old farm with outbuildings that have been converted into commercial sublets. The house is likely nothing to do with any of the businesses on site!
  8. Bad shimming and/or timing will make more of a difference. That and an over active Extensor indicis.
  9. Golden Eagle do a plastic receiver as a replacement part for the TM (complete with fixings for the shitty old style split hop unit but they are all ABS (basically a direct replacement for the TM). Maybe see if you can get a Specna Flex receiver but none of them are carry handle, just flat top MK18 style stuff or a 416-alike.
  10. That's what she said! 😂 ......oh, wait
  11. Yep, under new management https://wolfarmouries.co.uk/blog/a-new-chapter-begins/
  12. Pretty spot on but I'd add - don't buy Nuprol batteries, look at Turnigy, Vapex or Giant Power https://www.componentshop.co.uk/batteries/airsoft/li-po-packs.html Tracer - standard threading on almost all brands of airsoft barrels is 14mm Counter Clockwise (left hand thread) so pretty much all the things that screw onto airsoft barrels are 14mm CCW too. Foregrip - as far as rail attachments go, make sure the one you get is RIS compatible (or mentions "picatinny" or "Weaver" or 22mm rail) and you'll be fine. M-Lok, Keymod et al don't fit the rail you have. As for having one or not, use the gun, work out how you feel comfortable holding it and go from there. Lots of people buy foregrips and end up holding the magwell most of the time AND THAT'S FINE TOO! Optics - I think we may be confusing Vortex with Vector here. Vortex optics definitely cover having the glass shot out and they don't care how. Vector Optics ARE very good and generally cost less than Vortex (I have several), and they do have a decent lifetime warranty but I'm not sure if they have usage caveats. That said, buy a lens protector and it won't be a problem anyway. If you're unsure about ANY of it, ask here first - you'll get loads of opinions, granted but better than buying a turd and then getting roasted for it!
  13. Nice! I was worried it was a knob gag to be fair!
  14. So you're saying you live there by choice? Weird flex, but OK.
  15. Would it come with a realistic Soolin?
  16. Cool. Can you tell me then? I didn't think I'd made one! 🤣
  17. They don't ship to the UK - I've tried them before.
  18. I've not worked on an NGRS but it looks like it's a 3/4 cylinder as standard. 210mm is right on the edge of where I'd be looking to change to a 1/2 type cylinder but I'd suggest you suck it and see.
  19. Anything over 200mmm should be fine for accuracy. Without knowing what type the cylinder is now it's hard to say if it will be fine for a 210mm barrel.
  20. OK, I know automotive custom paints will work (I've done some on proper rifles) but that depends on whether or not it's going to be airbrushed. The other thing to bear in mind is that your gun will most likely end up being at least a bit shiny if not VERY shiny (depending on the type of clear coat you use). You can get 1pack automotive lacquers in a rattle can that aren't shit (look for U-Pol https://u-pol.com/product/aerosols/power-can-aerosols/power-can-clearcoat/) but if you've not used them before, try on a test piece first. Paint wise I'd suggest Createx https://graphicair.co.uk/product-category/airbrush-paint/createx-paint/ It can be brush painted but depending on colours you may need to underpaint first (reds/yellows etc are not very good for coverage). Of course, you could do worse than get @GearTech involved! Or get friendly with someone that works in a spray booth and is happy to use materials supplied by you for clearcoating.
  21. What EXACTLY has she used on it? If it's wax pencils then you're shit out of luck. Nothing is going to lay over that.
  22. £750 new though. Technically, TECHNICALLY, he's not entirely taking the piss. PB on the other hand, they ARE taking the piss.
  23. Ref the TAP, have you looked at some of the H Harness conversions? Spreads the weight better.
