The Darkness - Don't let the Bells End

I won an Ebay auction for an M4 Dust Cover with spring and a pivot pin with circlip. Looked sweet in the photo and description. £5. Looked good out of the packet. But.. No catch or little catch spring. In the picture they were 'underneath' Seller says I got what I bid on, Cover, spring and pivot pin, his description makes no mention of a catch or it's spring. I pointed out hat this was a con, the catch and it's spring are an integral part of the cover. Long story short it's going back for a refund

Ordered some LiPo and a charger. plus a Magpul Handguard to go on the M15 that is still 'stock'

You wouldn't find me there then. Airsoft Realism 350 round magazines on an M4? lol Different FPS limits are because the weapon is used for a different job. Snipers with a high FPS don't get to use their weapon at close range because of the higher fps, it's nothing to do with what weapon they choose to pretend is a sniper rifle! If your MP5 is accurate enough, sticjk a scope on it and snipe away is what I say.

On both models I stripped everything down to individual components. Renewed small parts like screws, circlips and pins if they were rusty Washed everything in warm soapy water then dried and left in the airing cupboard for a few days. De-greased with Isopropyl Alcohol and sprayed with various black paints to give different finish depending on the part being metal or plastic, for example the Stock, hand-guard and pistol grip are more satin than the metal parts. I got a satin finish with a smoother surface on to the barrel compared to the receiver. I had to do repairs on the solid stock. One of the two was quite badly mashed and held together with black gaffer tape. This one was discarded and replaced with the Magpul stock. I repaired the better of the two which was just split along its top seam. I used epoxy in the split and backed it with a plastic fillet also fixed with epoxy, it is now stronger than ever and the repair is invisible. As the Classic Army outer barrel is in two parts, the end that fits into the receiver is separate I was able to shorten it to make the CQB version. This joint is held together with grub screws two on top and one under. While it is solid in the vertical plane it does allow for some sideways play so I fixed it with an epoxy and it is now solid. I did the same with the joint in the 'standard' rifle Magpul parts were sprayed with Halfords Khaki which I have to say is a lot lighter than I expected but my son likes it. I am going to replace the Gas Block and foresight on the CQB version with a flip up version and remove the top handle in favour of a Holographic sight and flip up iron sight. I think I might put a Magpul hand guard on the standard rifle as well, I like them

For real Elitism and snobbery, join an Archery Club. There are people in there that won't talk to each other because they use a slightly different bow string!

I got them when Gun Ho closed down they sold me two of their rental guns for £25. Cosmetics were a bit worn but the Gearboxes were still solid. I re-bushed and shimmed them, re-lubed and replaced one piston that had worn teeth. All good to go again. I sohuld add in the cost of the Magpul parts though

Here is the other CA just kept as I got it but refurbed. Not bad for a £12.50 gun.

It's already removed and I have measured it up for a LiPo already I will have to perform surgery somewhere to get the wires through.

Rebuilt Classic Army M15A1. Added Magpul front end and Stock, shortened Barrel. Still have to change wiring to front end but I think a LiPo will fit in to the Stock Tube, there is even a little cover in the end of the stock that snaps on and off to allow access.

This one is rebuilt in 'CQB' style. I have to re-wire to the front for the battery or maybe even in to the stock tube, a LiPo will fit according to the measurements I have.and the stock has a snap on cover at the end to allow access to a battery.

Rebuilt this one as standard. I like a Solid Stock.

All apinted and re assembled. Pictures tomorrow. One is rebuilt as standard the other has a Magpul Stock, Hand guard and shortened 'CQB' Barrel.
