BZ Tactical have them in stock https://www.bztactical.co.uk/airtech-advanced-hop-up-chamber-inner-barrel-locking-ring-universal Worth a try but be aware that it may need some "fitting". I needed a bit of kinetic engineering on mine!

Appears they also do a universal version! https://www.airtechstudios.com/fr/collections/g-g-cm16-gc-predator/products/universal-advanced-hop-up-chamber-inner-barrel-ring

True, but the ridges around the rubber are designed to combat that very issue. The C-Clip is a crap design though, some sniper rifle hops already have grub screws for centring the barrel so yes it could work but you are introducing an additional point of endless fiddling to get things lined up properly. If the hop unit is made well then a tapered collet would probably work (you can get 3D printed ones for the Maxx hop units which would probably work for other hops too). I have one of these in one of my Maxx units and it seems to hold everything properly steady (although it can be a bit of a pig to get in properly depending on your inner barrel sizes) https://www.airtechstudios.com/products/maxx-advanced-hop-up-chamber-inner-barrel-ring

IF (big IF - see what I did there?) the original hop is rubbish (not consistent, wonky shots etc etc) then yes, there is an advantage to using the ZCI hop unit. If the original works well and shoots straight then no, there isn't. No idea on the rubber as they usually go straight in the spares bin and I fit Maple Leaf or Prometheus rubbers instead.

Hi, So first off, it's not a 6mm phono plug. Z-Tactical make loads of different options but you could do worse than a throat mic version: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Z-TAC-Tactical-Military-Bodyguard-Headphone/dp/B07BJ3SQPH/ref=sr_1_10?keywords=ZTAC&qid=1654612010&sr=8-10

https://www.moaitoys.com/shop/index.php/cyma-handguard-cap-for-ak74u-black.html There's a few different ones here too: https://airsoft.tiger111hk.com/advanced_search_result.php?keywords=ak hand&count=not&currency=ZAR&languag=

ZCI do a 494mm that is in stock at @ak2m4 https://www.ak2m4.co.uk/internal-parts/inner-barrels/zci-inner-barrel-494mm That would be my choice.

Chances are that whoever converted it has just taken off the fire selector knob to "lock it to semi". If that's the case then if you take the upper out there should be a white plastic linkage that goes around the back of the gearbox: the sprung lever on the left is what controls semi and auto and if the spring is on there it should default to semi. The position in the pic above is auto, stick a battery on, hold it in that position and fire a burst. That should unlock it.

It works on the hop rubber if you have a particularly high FPS build (sniper rifles and the like) but not where most people use it - in lieu of replacing a cylinder head o-ring.

Nice, welcome to the achey arms club!

Do you want something "airsoft" or something legit? Either way they are quite spendy for what they are, plenty of Chinese clones about that will adequately do the job for airsoft, personally I have the OPS/UR-Tactical laser cut belt which works well (except it's an older design with the hooky bit on the inner belt). The Deadly Customs ones are decent and come in two different sizes (2" and 1.75") and they will provide the kydex pouches too if that is your desire. As for legit stuff - pick your price and pay the money. All of them will be WAY more than you need for airsoft and are priced accordingly.

Spoken like a true M60 gunner!

Looks like you'll be ordering from China! https://airsoft.tiger111hk.com/p19146/CYMA-Adjustable-Tactical-Stock-For-MP5-Black/product_info.html

Absolute bare minimum? Glue the rail back down and get a proper receiver pin for the back end. Then power it up and see if it still functions Hop unit is buggered, to replace it with something half decent will need a new lower receiver as well as an upper (they usually come as a set anyway) or if you just want to resurrect it "as is" I probably have one of the old plastic ones kicking about somewhere. I may even still have a plastic receiver set.

I'll have to dig it out but it's one of these:

Unfortunately this is literally a Maxx hop unit in a pretty frock with a prefitted R-hop. The ad isn't really Macks worthy to me though, because it IS an expensive product. It's just that the product itself is a bit of a rip off to start with.

You'll want to post them in the Classifieds section, but you will most likely need to meet a minimum post count before you'll be allowed to.

If you're on that there Facebook, come join the Airsoft M14 group. I have a Cyma railed sight mount going spare if it's any good for you, as far as low profile mounts go, about the only easy(ish) to get hold of ones are the G&P copies of the ARMS #18 mount, but even then you'll be buying from China if you can find stock. You'll no doubt be totally unsurprised that this question has been asked before! I have this one on my Cyma M14, Seal Airsoft are pretty reliable and they seem to have them in stock too. http://sealairsoft.com/pro_details.php?product_id=861&fbclid=IwAR2IZfWygMy8FYPdkTSRDcy0ULh0HV_NxkGobiNBz41pYlVhZMWEns9o1ng

You absolutely can, but that specific "special edition" of the Maxx hop unit and a barrel, from Umbrella really does cost 220EUR new (which is an absolute piss take, granted, but it is what it is).

They manufacture air-guns, they import airsoft guns. All the Umarex products for airsoft are licenced replicas made by others (VFC and Cyma for example).

That's what she said! Also - the safety should block the trigger.

Nice work dude.

Of course they would. Are you new here or something?

*First of all; brands to buy and brands to avoid, for both batteries and charger? Turnigy are good for both, Nuprol are shit for both (well...pretty much everything in fact) *I see that some come with Deans connectors and some with Mini Tamiya - are the Tamiya ones ok to use or do I have to rewire all of my AEGs? Or use Deans to Tamiya adaptors? Mini Tamiya are perfectly serviceable, Deans are in theory better but it does depend on the quality of the ones you buy and someone will be along in a minute to tell us all that XT60 are in fact God Tier and everyone should have them. *Is the risk of fire and/or catastrophic failure exaggerated under normal/sensible use? Do I really have to keep them in an asbestos bin at the bottom of the garden? Be sensible, use a decent charger and keep them in a LiPo bag. Catastrophic failure is almost always a result of neglect or abuse. Puffing batteries is something to watch out for but if you follow the earlier points then you should be fine. If you notice any getting physically damaged or puffing up then just get rid and replace them, they're really not expensive. *Most of the impetus behind this is that I'd like to be able to get a full day out of one set of batteries (at the moment I'm only getting a bit more than half a day out of stock NiMhs), is this realistic? Entirely depends on how much battery space you have and your playing style. That said, the stock NiMhs that come with guns are almost entirely dogshit. *So far all internals for my AEGs are stock, so I was going to go with 7.4v, perhaps upgrading to 11.1v if I upgrade gun internals later on - is this sensible? Most modern AEGs are fine with 11.1v but lifespan may suffer a bit if you're particularly ham fisted. Older guns would be better on 7.4 until you can beef them up *Any reason not to get the biggest/highest mAh I can fit into the gun? Not really. *Anything else I should know getting into this? Always check the sizes of where you plan to put your battery in your gun BEFORE buying the battery. Just because the website says it'll fit in an M4 stock tube, doesn't mean it'll always fit YOUR M4 stock tube.
