      You mean like 5p per day for one of the 8 kajillion charities they sponsor or something?

      Free album? Yoink!

       

      Knowing Apple, if we download it to our devices now they'll charge to listen later

  2. MOT passed! Yesssss!

  3. How could you prove you bought if off a private seller though? It's not like you get a receipt.
  4. All ucap sites banned two tones. I spoke to the owner about it last year and apparantly that's what the players voted for. It makes the game more realistic but I guess it also puts new players off as they have to keep renting until membership/ukara. It's a catch 22 I guess.. Welcome to the forum anyway!
  5. Thanks for the responses. I kept firing it last night while it was screeching and then took it apart. I think I found out what I did wrong. when I installed the 70D sorbo I simply glued it to the pad on the cylinder head. This knocked the AOE well out. The teeth on the piston were worn quiet badly. I think the noise was coming from the gears sliding past the teeth. The washer in the spring was from the spring guide that came loose. It was a guide off ebay, just a cheap one. I guess the end cap wasn't thread locked on. I just stuck the original one back in it. The anti reverse latch has two arms on it, it's weird. It'll only go on one way and if it were on wrong it wouldn't shoot all together. Here's what I've done this morning; - Took the original rubber off the cylinder head and attached the sorbo back on. - followed a different guide for AOE - reshimmed it - bought a new piston ( and piston head as I couldn't get the other one off) - greased everything It seems to be firing fine again. One of the screws that clamp the GB together was stripped at the head so I'm going to get another screw from work before proper testing it out. To me it looks like all this started from being lazy with the sorbo and not checking the spring guide. Live and learn I guess!
  6. It's not jamming now but it's screeching like a mofo..
  7. I've upgraded my EBB GR16 gearbox and found after a few shots it would jam up. Taking the gearbox out shows it always jams with the spring pulled back under tension. A little history on what I've changed; - Disabled EBB by changing cylinder to SHS ported. - Cut off 2 teeth on piston for AOE - changed cylinder head for a red SHS double o-ring - installed 70D sorbo pad - Changed spring guide for one with a bearing - Changed gears for SHS 13:1 - Changed to 8mm bearings - Shimmed gears - Installed mosfet - Changed motor to Lonex A1+ I've managed to open the gearbox and the first thing I've noticed is the end of the spring guide has unscrewed itself; Closer inspection shows as it's all come loose the washer covering the ball bearings rattled around and the spring has damaged the bearing runner, making it useless. Could this cause the whole thing to jam though? I still have the stock spring guide, I'll try it with that in it.
  8. So my gun didn't last and I can't get the last screw out the GB, it's stripped >:(

      I don't own a dremel, I just drilled the head off it.

      Worth buying a dremel, one of the most valuable airsoft related tools imo. Used mine for all sorts.

      saw away the section where the screw is and the GB will pop right open!

       

      but seriously, I've seen a set of bits to extract striped screws somewhere. ebay it :)

  9. After reading this I'm glad I went with a used EBB raider vs a cm. It's the little things like the charging handle having a purpose that makes the difference.Although the first thing I did with the EBB was to change the cylinder to stop the blow back . Thanks for the review flex.
  10. My first skirmish tonight with my newly upgraded gun. Fingers crossed it lasts the night without blowing up!

  11. Maybe it's just me but I can't see a massive difference.
  12. As far as I can see the only difference is built in m4 mag pouch and a steel wire? What else?
  13. Looks a lot like the WAS DSC plate carrier http://www.uktactical.com/p-6361-warrior-dcs-plate-carrier-base-multicam.aspx
  14. Anyone going to Portsmouth bunker tomorrow night?

      I might be going next week too, depends how my MOT goes on Friday :P

  15. Raise a dispute. If it shows up you can always cancel it.
  16. TPB season 8 on Netflix - amazing! :D

  17. $60 with free delivery, bargain!
  18. My work mates repsonses are usually somethine like "Why don't you just join the army and go to Afghan". I understand from the outside looking in we're a bunch of grown men running round with toy guns but it's not affecting their lives in anyway so stay the f*ck out of it.
  19. Finally chrono'd my upgraded gun. It's shooting at 310 fps :D Knowing it's safe it's time to give her a run next wednesday.

  20. Thought about buying used? Both of my guns have been used and I've not had a problem (Granted my 2nd gun I completely changed the gearbox). Most internal parts on an aeg are relatively cheap to change if theres a problem. You could save yourself a bit of cash buying used and getting your gear separate rather than a package and it would probably be a better spec. I find with most hobbies there are always "starter packages" availble but what they put in the package you will end up replacing after a couple of uses as you find the quality isn't very good.

  22. Dies only cut in one direction. If you think about the way the thread spirals it will be going the same way if you flip it.
