They look like they're the ends of the "cummerbund". They should connect under the molle layer on the back of the vest. Is there some shock cord or something similar with the vest? Just realised - the top pic is the inside of the back plate, your second picture is the two parts that go on the sides of the vest and the eyelets connect up (somehow) to size the vest to you. Just watched a quick review video and it says that it's a releasable carrier. You should have a tab with a piece of wire/cord attached to it. Looks like that is supposed to loop through the eyelets to hold it all together. Given that it's their "Ready To Go" rig, you'd have thought it would come preassembled.

That's literally it.

As long as you keep on top of your maintenance (not sure if the nitrogen would be better or worse for any seals in the system) then I see no reason why not. It can't be any more aggressive than the propane you'd have been using prior to converting it to HPA!

If there's a leak it's going to be most likely the nozzle length.

Timing does indeed mean the cycle of retracting the nozzle to allow the bb into the hop unit, then allowing it forward to seat the BB into the hop before the piston comes forward. If you're not getting a feeding issue that should be OK but if the nozzle isn't actually seating on the feed lips of the hop rubber properly you may be getting an air leak. The chamfered tip of the nozzle should seal into the end of the hop rubber (the feed lip if you will). An easy test is to reassemble the gun, turn it upside down and place a small piece of paper over the feed tube. When you fire the gun the paper should move only minimally, if it blows off then there is air escaping down the feed tube. Also - it may be the camera angle but your barrel doen't look straight in your hop unit - it may need twisting slightly to line it up.

Nice. M14 for the win.

@shatis actually try holding one before you settle on an MP7. Personally I find the vertical grip angle just doesn't work for me. I have an MP9 which feels completely different (to me at least).

Pending further info, it could be under volume for the barrel length but it may just be fitment with the rest of the gun.

Picture of the cylinder? Where is the vent on the cylinder?

King arms =/= Lancer Tactical. Just because they are both V2 boxes doesn't mean they're the same. Sounds like one sits differently to the other in the receiver. That's assuming you have the pins back in and the grip attached.

You can measure the hole with a ruler to get a decent indication. They look bigger than 6mm to me but still... A quick google has revealed that the OEM is indeed Classic Army.

They look like a copy of the Earmor ones. My Earmors have been fine, others have not been so lucky. At least if you buy from Socom it might be easier to get them returned under warranty if they break. What helmet are you using?

In some respects...maybe. I think the big thing that worked the best for us was just pacing ourselves which potentially comes from more than half of us being older (and arguably more buggered). We did see a lot of running and gunning from both the Blue and Yellow teams in the morning which given the heat and the nature of the games may well have been their downfall in the long run. Of all the guys that held the valley bomb, I'd say half weren't directly affiliated with either team/friend group/rag tag bunch of mercenaries (delete as applicable), we were just happy to sit and defend instead of running and gunning. PTFO as they say.

Yeah...it was not a good day for the other teams! I almost felt bad about it. Almost.

This was from last month:

It was indeed an epic day, the push to flank the yellows for the bomb after lunch was great! Brilliant to meet @The_Roach and chat all things Arktis while wondering if the yellow team had given up and gone home...

Preaching to the choir mate, I just figured OP might be a bit less....flush than some of us!

Not a stupid question at all. As above, set it up for 1J and you'll be sweet for pretty much everywhere. I'd use heavier ammo and adjust the hop for outdoors games though. Why not have two guns though?

Exactly what I was thinking.

See, that's the thing. I enjoy the "proper" survival shows too, but seeing Terry from Essex who's done a bit of camping and reckons that living off whatever he can find on a tiny island in the middle of typhoon season would be a "piece of piss", fail miserably and potentially lose a finger while trying to chop firewood just ignites something in me. I believe the Germans call it Schadenfreude.

Try one and let us know Somebody did make a bit of thread a while back about Specna mag compatibility, the one thing I would bear in mind though is that the Edge and One series had different OEMs so what works in one may not work in the other. My own experience? My SA-A03 One series (from back before they were called One Series because that was the only series they did), works well with Nuprol mags (both metal and plastic ones), PTS EPMs (not the EPM1) but not the Beta Project Pmags.

See, that's exactly why I love them and find them hilarious! "ooooo I didn't realise it would be so hard!" I have achieved the age where I shout at people on the telly.

Amen to that!

As long as the receiver isn't impinging on the arm in any way it should be fine.
