No, might do the next Lite one though. My knees can't handle a whole day up and down that bloody hill. Should be there soon though.

It really isn't, in our application especially. Good bushings are always going to be better than cheap bearings anyway. What he said. Take it apart and check to see if all the bearings you have are actually the same thickness.

...and you!

Ta! Every day is a school day!

I'm not sure I get this - a heavier BB leaves the barrel at a lower velocity, the energy on impact would be higher because they carry more momentum but I don't see how an object travelling more slowly will get there quicker.

FTFY

As with all things airsoft they should work absolutely fine together. Get yourself some barrel shims while you're at it to make sure it all lines up OK.

Are you trying to make a MK18 by any chance? 275mm is the total length of the product, 10.3" is the nominal length of the outer barrel part. You don't want a 7.62 rail for an M4. Get the DD 9.5" (especially if you're going for the MK18 look). As for the QD KAC silencer, you will need a bit of space between the end of the rail and the rear end of the flash hider as the suppressor fits over that.

To expand on what @Colin Allen put so succinctly, not really. There are places to play that cost less than £60 a pop to rent (Red Alert for example is £50) but to get your UKARA it costs what it costs I'm afraid. Plus, let's be honest if you've been playing plenty you're not going to want a) a gun as cheap as three rental sessions or b) just one RIF.

I have the G&G SR25 E2 APC, I only ever had that beeping when I tried to run it on a 7.4v LiPo. Swapped to an 11.1v and it stopped (I've since swapped out the ETU for the Perun ETU++ and that lets me use 7.4v no problem. Fingers crossed on the new battery!

It tickles me greatly to see "outperform. Dominate. AEG Perfection" on a box that also says "Nuprol".

I have both Vector Optics and Victoptics scopes and honestly, I'm hard pressed to see the difference. Granted my eyesight is only 202/20 when it's corrected and I'm just using it for airsoft but still. If you want to go cheaper and simpler Victoptics do a 1-4 LPVO now as well https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005002037442492.html?pdp_npi=4%40dis!GBP!￡67.32!￡49.14!!!81.29!59.34!%40211b801517132614736886930e161e!12000036678249127!sh!UK!759559025!&spm=a2g0o.store_pc_allItems_or_groupList.new_all_items_2007523591909.1005002037442492

The final kicker is that it's the same price as it ever was but the site is smaller. Fewer accessible buildings too.

That right there is a dangerous assumption to make. It'll be set up adequately at best.

The MR Hop rubber has a very large contact patch, if that's a stock barrel the mound inside the hop rubber might not be sitting quite properly. Have a look down the barrel and check to see that it's free to move up and down properly. Did you order a better barrel by any chance?

Welcome to self teching! Clean out all the shit grease that came in it from the factory and relube it with some half decent stuff. Not loads either. Shimming from the factory will be the absolute bare minimum. Do it properly and it'll run smoother, be quieter and last longer.

Obvious question - are you trying to fire it without a mag in? There's a switch in the magwell that works with the specific mags they use to stop on empty. If it's not pressed in it won't fire.

That's fair, I have the G&P mounts for mine so they sit quite low anyway. Medium rings the scope at a decent height for me. I might still have some low rings though (I'll have a look and drop you a DM). This is mine for reference - be aware if you go too low you may end up fouling on the rear sight!

The aforementioned upgraded SCAR in action at the weekend!

Good point, well made! Seemed to spend half the day at one end or the other of the range, or building 4!

How low are you looking at? I have the Vector S6 on my M14 SOCOM and it's been fantastic. I also have a spare set of Vector medium 30mm rings we could do a deal on if you're interested! Sorry - Victoptics S6 which is SIGNIFICANTLY cheaper than the Vector one. https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005002146687186.html?spm=a2g0o.productlist.main.1.4d602222oAk73O&algo_pvid=d4a0c303-4326-4207-a8a4-657e4b0ad88b&algo_exp_id=d4a0c303-4326-4207-a8a4-657e4b0ad88b-0&pdp_npi=4%40dis!GBP!126.73!76.03!!!153.32!91.99!%40211b801817131831644964612ed130!12000029845468154!sea!UK!759559025!&curPageLogUid=1XMZxaOvwLud&utparam-url=scene%3Asearch|query_from%3A

Went to South Coast CQB for the first time in about 8 years yesterday! Overall a good day, but.... Marshalling was pretty woeful, several times the two marshals assigned to our side spent the entire game sat at spawn pissing about with their phones. The other two seemed to be a bit more on the ball so there's that. Lots of whingeing about hit taking but personally I didn't see a problem. I think there's a lot of people whose guns aren't as good as they think they are! The site is a LOT smaller than the last time I went. The whole back half of the site has been fenced off by the landowner (presumably because the buildings are less fucked and able to be rented out). Teams were massively unbalanced and there was no attempt to address it. We got our shit pushed in and spent most of the day within about 100yds of our spawn point (that's on us, I am aware). On the plus side, my SCAR full of @ak2m4's upgrade bits performed excellently, although my MP9 managed to get a BB stuck under the nozzle and went through a kinetic disassembly. Good day overall, not in a massive rush to go back though. There's other sites that are the same/less distance that I'd rather spend my time at.

Three gears looks like a clock? What kind of clocks did you take apart as a kid? HPA engines don't have gears but they do have a significant amount of pingfuckits and Jesus clips, not to mention the seals that need more regular maintenance than a greasy rack. As for how much money people have spent on upgrading an AEG, the components in a gearbox would only cost as much as a P* F2 if you had them plated in gold first! 😄
