You'd certainly get some odd looks, but outside of doing some star jumps in your own home I'd have thought that as long as you're well off the beaten track away from Joe Public you'd be OK. I'd certainly suggest finding some weights other than mags and grenades though. Bags of sand or something?

The JG is a TM clone (same as the Cyma) so as far as internals go, standard hop rubber should fit fine but be aware that ones with a longer feed lip (like the Maple Leaf ones) may protrude into the feed tube a bit. As for barrels, just make sure it has both sets of grooves in the side of the barrel, the hop unit clip goes in a different place than on an M4. ZCI ones will work, or if you want to spunk a bunch more cash, Prometheus do an M14 specific one. You're looking for something around 420mm length. Worth mentioning though that if the cylinder is the same sort of size as a TM or Cyma, changing to a tighter bore will push your FPS up a not inconsiderable amount!

Thanks all, I'll get to hiding them then. An odd choice of nomenclature all in all. Why not just call it "delete ad"?

How can I actually delete an advert? I have a bunch of old completed ones but the only option I can find is to "Hide" it.

Blimey, an old Aria! That's a blast from the past! Honestly, I'm a bit out of touch with guitar prices. I was amazed to see how much a new Explorer is now given that the woods are arguably inferior to mine that I bought for a sniff under £500 in '91!

They're spendy! Shame about the bridge going out of production.

OK, where do I get one of those then....?

Looking at the gas tube, I'd say yes. BUT...this is airsoft, so your mileage may vary. Why not just go for an AKMSU?

The cardboard bit is only a sleeve around the actual ammo holder, though, not like it's structural or anything.

I'll just leave this here.

I bought my P90 from them, and it has been one of the most hassle-free overseas purchases I've ever made. When I saw UPS on the courier thing I panicked a bit, but they handled all the paperwork and it was absolutely fine!

This guy was pretty decent https://www.youtube.com/@GunfatherMilsim He's an active-duty SWAT officer in the US who also plays airsoft, so he put together some of the more relevant techniques in some videos. He's gone back to just real steel stuff now, but his old stuff is still up.

I have the upgrade version of the C2 with the steel bits. Is nice.

When I was doing my due diligence before buying mine, it seems this was a known weak point.

East Crane/E&C make some decent kit. They were the original OEM for Specna Arms and are still OEM for a number of manufacturers, as well as their own stuff. As far as DMR mods go, the reason why most people suggest an SR25 or similar is that they have a V2.5/"V2 long" gearbox - ie one with a longer piston stroke, which means they can cope with the volume requirements of a longer barrel. With more modern hop designs the reliance on long barrels for accuracy has diminished somewhat so the two E&C guns you've listed start to come into their own, despite only having a standard V2 gearbox. I personally have a MK12 which runs around 420fps with an E&C gearbox perfectly fine. This is the usual resource for advice on building an AEG DMR https://www.airsoftsniperforum.com/threads/the-holy-grail-of-building-your-dmr-aeg.892/ so go have a read.

How was it? I couldn't get a trade ticket without having to pay for the exorbitant meeting booking service thing.

Story of my life.

Blue? If you mean the old R134 type duster gas, I'd suggest you ignore that advice. In the good old days, there were an enormous amount of people who swore blind that anything more powerful would blow the slide clean off ANY TM pistol after less than half a mag. They've been proven wrong multiple times but more to the point, it's a HiCapa. If it breaks there's a myriad of manufacturers making replacement parts for it. Slap some green gas in and go nuts.

The GR16 bit doesn't really narrow it down. Can you post a pic of it? In the meantime: buffer tube: https://www.firesupport.uk/ec-m4-6-position-aeg-stock-tube.html crane stock https://www.firesupport.uk/ec-m4-crane-stock-black.html RIS handguard: https://highpressureairsoft.co.uk/collections/ar-15-rails/products/170mm-aluminum-kac-type-m4a1-m4cqb-ras-handguard-rail-system-for-m4-aeg assuming you just want a drop in one of course.

(fellow Corsair desk mat enjoyer spotted) It sounds OK, but as above, the phone audio doesn't really do many favours. Also - WTF is going on with your selector?

I wonder why they modelled it on one with a barrel strut? Maybe they know it'll be shit out of the box!

That's my retirement plan!

I agree with this....and I don't. In these enlightened times, prospective employers WILL scour your social media footprint to see if you align with their perception of what a good candidate is (and to make sure nothing is going to bite them in the arse later down the line). Blurring out your face in photos can be an attempt to stop playing a game that quite a lot of people might think is a bit... odd, interfering with your job prospects. If they're doing it to try and be "more ally", then yeah, cringe as fuck.
