I have a SCAR-L and it's great. As above though if you want a good gun that you can buy mags and pouches for easily go for the L, if you want the look and US SOCOM appeal, get the H. Black Death has a black SCAR H TM Recoil and it looks the absolute dogs danglies. Check out the photos from the field thread to see what I mean!

+1 for the Element scout copies, although I have had some issues with the plug on the back getting a bit flaky. I also very highly rate the Nextorch WL10 which I have on my pistol. That thing will melt concrete at 100 paces!

When I was at peak fitness (a loooong time ago) I used to do three 1 hour cycling sessions on the road and then a good 4 hour freeride at the weekend. Worth a try. Your MTB should be fine for a bit of road riding but of you have particularly knobbly tyres you might want to try some slicks/lower profile tyres.

Seems it's mostly down to running them on 11.1v LiPos. The suggestion is that the higher gauge wiring allows more current to flow than the MOSFET can handle. PAS actually state in the blurb under the Gen 3 guns that you should only use them with 7.4v LiPo batteries and that the better wiring and MOSFET negates the advantages you'd get from an 11.1.

You need to try reading it again then.

Comedy aside - "Google" is only called that because they were originally going to call the site "Goggle" but misspelled it.

I used Andy Bourne for mine ( http://www.tacticaloptician.co.uk/ ). Lovely chap, glazed an ESS ViceRx insert for me £35 +£5.95 return postage. Personally I wouldn't trust Specsavers to tell me the correct time let alone get my prescription right (simple short sightedness prescription that they have managed to fuck up every time I've used them).

Nice guns though, buddy of mine has one.

If it's anything like the G&G SCAR-L CQC (and I believe it is) if you buy the standard one you get a long barrel, if you get the light version you get a short barrel with an extender. Either way the inner barrel should be the same length I beleive. The Light version (short barrel) is significantly shorter but the standard is no longer than a standard M4A1, the only difference might be that the RIS extends further (on the T4-18 that is).

So was that the white nub or the black one?

Screw it then, I think I'll stick with an AoE adjustment and the standard gears for now. Thanks for the advice!

Just for info - the gun is running an M95 spring, 7.4V LiPo, NanoAB mosfet, 300mm barrel, SHS piston head, SHS cylinder head and nozzle, standard TM gears, rewired with 1.5mm low resistance wiring and Deans connectors.

Cheers for that guys. Samurai, yes - at one point during a particularly hamfisted reassembly the piston missed the guides and turned a bit hence the marks. Never thought about the grease getting to the hop though, good point! So I'm thinking that maybe this would be a good opportunity to swap out the gears for maybe a 16:1 set to raise the RoF, sorbo pad and AoE adjustment. Would I need anything else to go down that route?

Friend of mine has one - fantastic bit of kit!

As some of you may know I have an old TM M4A1 that has become Triggers Tactical Broom. The guts and outers have pretty much all been changed over the last few months in a seemingly endless chase to get the thing working better than it was stock (230fps, 3 parts of f-all range). When it was finally all together I loaned it to a buddy who used it for half a day before it jammed. Despite my protestations that once it had jammed he should maybe stop pulling the trigger, several exploratory bursts of auto were forced upon the poor thing. Stripped down once again it seemed to merely be a BB stuck in the hop. I cleared it, tried again and the same thing happened so I ordered a new rubber (Prommy soft) which I installed tonight. Nice. All went back together nicely and so to test firing. A few single shots came out very nicely thank you so a burst of auto was called for. THRAAAAP! THHRAAAAAAAAP! Cool. One more for luck - THRRAAAAcccgghhhhh cghghhhhhhhh cjhghhhhhhhhh. Bugger. One spectacularly chewed piston. So - to avoid this tale of woe in the future, what do I need to do? New piston (obvs) but what else? The gun is running a 7.4v LiPo, standard gears, original motor and a Nano AB mosfet. Do I need to worry about AoE or just get a new piston with all metal teeth? Please also bear in mind that this is the ORIGINAL TM piston, the gun was already 10+ years old when it got to me! What say you AFUK massive?

SCAR-L or H (VFC, G&G or TM recoil depending on your budget) Actually the H doesn't take M4 mags....sorry about that.

Aren't we just drifting into cosplay here?

You're welcome, I went through this very voyage of discovery fitting a Magpul MOE hand guard to my TM M4A1. Anything else you need pointers on just ask! While I think of it - don't forget to thread the battery wires through the delta ring BEFORE you put it all together. Voice of experience.

First things first - does the Marui Delta Ring have teeth or just a couple of lugs? I'm going to assume the latter and say that you'll need a new Delta Ring. You're probably going to need a new handguard cap too as the plastic one on the TM is too bulky to fit around the front end of the new guard. http://www.fire-support.co.uk/product/king-arms-delta-ring http://www.fire-support.co.uk/product/kingarms-handguard-cap Once you have those, you'll need to remove the old delta ring which can be a bit fiddly due to the three part design of the inner barrel - you'll need to remove the small hex hed screws that hold sthe barrel together to get the nut off. You'll also need an armorers wrench to fit the new one properly. http://www.fire-support.co.uk/product/guarder-extra-heavy-duty-armorers-wrench You may also need a small washer to help fit the hand guard cap - the TM one is held in place by a tiny screw in the back face of the sight, the hole for a similar screw in the KA cap is much bigger!

If your battery is wired reverse you're still going to have issues when you try and connect it to the gun! Better to just make sure you get it the right way around in the first place and probably safest to get the wiring done with Deans as they seem to share a common wiring standard!

No worries, let us know how you get on.

I would reply with "what...you don't know what this loadout is? Hmmmm...." and walk away.

Review is done! http://www.airsoft-forums.co.uk/index.php/topic/20839-sls-type-drop-leg-holster-from-taiwanguncom/
