Not something I noticed with the WAS ones but YMMV.

No worries, drop me a message if you fancy them.

I think the only "problem" here is having a kid be jealous of his dad's toys! I call it a life lesson but there you go.

There's the obvious (and no doubt soon to be suggested by others) Smersh SVD rig that you could easily put over your Osprey. All the SVD pouches on Grey Shop call them suitable for .338 mags in general so maybe the 338 pouches from Warrior would work? https://www.uktactical.com/product/warrior-338-single-mag-multicam-5542 (I actually have a couple in tan if you're interested).

Pretty much everyone makes a pouch with a Kydex insert now. Are they all copying ESSTACs homework? Of course they are. Do they get as much stick for it as WAS do? No, of course not. They are all serving a market that thrives on copying innovations from other people and rebranding it to suit their product range. That said, at least the WAS kydex pouches don't need fucking MALICE clips to hold them on!

What about the snap mags? https://www.uktactical.com/product/warrior-laser-cut-single-snap-mag-pouch-9mm-short-multicam-18843

They are indeed. I can send some pics of mine with various mags in if you'd like?

Hi, welcome to the forum! Initial first gun newbie advice is always - leave it alone until you've used it a while and then decide if it actually needs more power/better barrel/different hop rubber. H03 is from the Specna ONE series if I remember correctly so it probably needs the gearbox out to get at the spring anyway. Easy, simple upgrade would be a ZCI barrel and a Maple Leaf macaron rubber with the Maple Leaf Omega nub. Should give you a bit of a bump in power without taking you over the site limit too. Speak to @ak2m4 about what he can supply from his wondrous website www.ak2m4.co.uk

As the owner of 3 M14s, I feel your pain.

I've used the Warrior Assault Systems taco pouches for G3, M14 and M4 (both STANAG and plastic styles) and they work well. Otherwise, you could look at the NI/SADF style chest rigs where one size swamps all.

Can't help on stock levels but as far as LiPo for RC and LiPo for Airsoft...no. No difference. RC ones may be of slightly higher quality, if they have Tamiya connectors they'll be opposite polarity. Otherwise, a 2 cell, 7.4v LiPo is a 2 cell 7.4v LiPo whether it says RC or Airsoft on the side.

If you like it and can afford it, I see no reason why not. I assume you'll be getting your UKARA sorted so you don't have to two tone it?

To specify an o-ring you'll need the ID (inside diameter), OD (outside diameter) and the material. Or buy a selection box of small o-rings from Amazon/ebay and keep trying them all until you find one that fits. Personally, I'd just get a new nozzle.

I got into airsoft guns pre-VCRA, because I like guns. The shop where I bought my model aeroplanes sold a LOT of airsoft pistols which is where I got my first one (a NBB TM Desert Eagle). That shop closed down but a comic/model shop opened up and they were selling airsoft guns too. So I bought a TM SPAS (like you do). Me and my mate that shared a house used to use our guns to run around the house shooting each other when were drunk! Skirmishing came quite a bit later when a buddy of mine persuaded us to go to The Mall. And the rest is (expensive) history!

Gotcha, re-read it and that makes sense.

They come with a 20mm rail mount as well. Just needs swapping over and then it'll attach to the bottom rail.

Just to chip in, I'd 100% back up the Cyma M14 route. I have a completely bog standard Cyma M14 Socom (albeit with some cosmetic tweaks) that regularly outranges its price! Last time out, using 0.28s it was getting sufficient range that even the marshals commented on just how far I was hitting with it. They can be a bit heavy if you're used to M4s and the like, the SOCOM is probably the best balanced, the full length one can be a bit unwieldy and the EBR is heavier than a heavy thing and completely front end biased. Worth a try if you know someone that might give you a lend for a game though.

Not necessarily. If you wan it for looks then yes, if you just want a longer free float handguard then....maybe. With the 10.5" barrel, I'd say anything that is around up to around 10" would be OK, something like this for example: https://www.patrolbase.co.uk/big-dragon-9-mk18-style-free-float-handguard

What handguard do you want?

Have you definitely got the motor wiring the right way round?

@2RIR this is definitely worth a try BUT be very careful taking the pin out that holds the end of the arm. The plastic wings on the hop unit that the pin goes through are VERY easy to snap.

That's why I've not yet DMRd my M14s. Plenty of range, no MED and still got full auto for when I want it.

The point that's being missed by some is that it isn't about what YOU are happy with as a personal risk level, but what the sites insurance will or won't cover. If the insurance says "nothing over MK5 due to risk of hearing damage" then you start lobbing TAGs about, if someone does get hearing damage it'll be YOU that gets the bill, not the site. Some of us will remember the strict "below the knee" rule for BFGs at The Mall. Lots of whingeing about how they should always stay on the same floor and never be sent down the stairs. Not everyone knew why though - it was because before those rules were enforced and it was up to people to be sensible, someone dropped a BFG over the balcony from the upper level and it hit someone in the head on the ground level. That ended up with the recipient being in hospital in a coma for two months and the person that dropped the grenade being sued for damages. These days, that's the sort of thing that will get a site shut down.

Get a pinion puller, pull the gear off a long shaft and cut it down.
