It's a V2 gearbox with added pneumatic blowback. All the internals will be pretty standard but the cylinder will have a hole at the top to bleed off air to make the flappy bit of metal rattle about. You could replace it with a standard cylinder and ditch the annoying clacky thing.

Been there, done that. Modifying the TM delta ring is the wrong route, you have to swap it out for a proper style one with the star ring in the middle (as discussed). If you file the lugs off to make the TM outer barrel fit you'll be fine, the rest of it is "standard". It's exactly what I did with mine.

Why not?

Good lad!

Source? Please? Pretty please?

I'd say try the Namsoft pages on FB, they will probably have more direct experience. There aren't going to be any goggles from Bolle, ESS, Revision etc that are designed to work with an M1 because that's just not a thing. Maybe a set of ESS Advancers (based on being similar shapewise to the ASG ones you mentioned. Otherwise, what about a FogEx blower attached somewhere inconspicuous?

You have a couple of options, either file away the lugs on the outer barrel or just bin the outer barrel completely and get a solid one that doesn't come in three parts. That also has the benefit of making the whole front end more stable! https://www.amazon.co.uk/Airsoft-Inches-Aluminum-Barrel-Extension/dp/B07GCK9774/ref=pd_lpo_sccl_1/260-1342477-8989408?pd_rd_w=QDzdW&content-id=amzn1.sym.efc89c20-c5a9-4620-b6cd-2f4e51bac956&pf_rd_p=efc89c20-c5a9-4620-b6cd-2f4e51bac956&pf_rd_r=CA1Q46N2ATP9DRTRAZJT&pd_rd_wg=KhQf6&pd_rd_r=36e3011f-5103-46f3-81b8-45088ff13695&pd_rd_i=B07GCK9774&psc=1 NOTE - you CAN get them cheaper than this (the cyma ones are good) this is just one that's in stock. I may actually have a spare one, I'll drop you a PM if I can find it!

I have/had one of those. I say had because it's still in my possession but much like Triggers Broom it bears almost no resemblance to the original. Anyhoo, you will probably need to fit a "standard" style delta nut which has a toothed inner ring instead of the two lug version that Marui fitted. Super easy to do, buy one from here: https://www.bullseyecountrysport.co.uk/element-delta-ring-black-m4-series-11705-p.asp, remove the outer barrel, take off the old delta ring (remove the handguard, push the inner part of the ring down and rotate to line up the lugs then it should come off then unscrew the inner nut part from the receiver), then screw on the new one (an armourers wrench is handy but not essential for this as they have a bnit that locates in the toothed section of the new nut). Then all you need to do is find a suitable KAC rail and whack it in.

Nope. Probably because it's been withdrawn.

EN 1731 has been withdrawn as a standard and replaced by EN ISO 16321. eLibrary copies can be read for a day for a bout a fiver https://standards.iteh.ai/catalog/standards/cen/0558b211-7e30-44c2-a924-480c91d5dea4/en-iso-16321-3-2022 Worth mentioning that this standard specifically excludes mesh face protectors or goggles for sports use.

@Jaylordofwaargh Slightly off topic, but maybe clean your lens while you're at it?

I VERY much doubt anyone has tried doing this but hey, fill your boots. Parts list here

Yes, you can absolutely run a chest rig with a shooters belt. I run my Platatac Peacekeeper with a shooters belt too so unless you're a midget, you'll be fine. Alternatively, if you want to stick to the belt mounted mag carriers, have you thought about fitting them with QLS mounts? That way you don't have to fuck about getting the carrier OFF the belt as such as the base part stays put, you just swap over the actual holstery bit.

Was going to ask the same thing!

Keep it cocked when you're out on the field. Alas they're not great guns so yeah, gas efficiency is garbage. You can try nineball gas routers to eliminate leakage between the mag and the gun but it still won't be great.

OK, I'm game...what's the benefit? I see that they're small and portable and stuff but does it solder any better than a thermostatic bench one?

I'm sorry, what? You have a soldering iron with "custom firmware"? WTF?

Seriously though, throw it away and buy a better rubber.

Nice! By the way, ASGK is the Japanese airsoft regulatory commission, not a manufacturer.

They're only rated to 0.86 J. Not sure I'd be recommending them for airsoft.

You'd be amazed what guitarists will buy if you tell them it'll improve their tone.

If it works, it works.

The Cyma (and of course the TM it's copied from) usually have excellent range and accuracy out of the box, hence the love. They don't NEED loads doing to them as long as you can live with the slow gearbox and slightly poo trigger response. A better motor, tightbore barrel and a decent hop rubber and you're off to the races for long range pewage! Obviously the SOCOM scores by being a little bit easier to manhandle but it's still a big lump compared to the average M4 (that said, my MK12 is long and heavy so....). Of course, if you really want a gun you can justify putting a bipod on just so you don't have to hold the bloody thing, get the EBR!
