Hi Pete, thanks for that, not busting for any one RIF in particular, although I'd like an Ares L1A1 (having missed them twice now for the reasons stated) and/or an S&T Sterling but both are in short supply it seems. 
In specific defence terms I wouldn't want to be seen as taking the pee though, it's not like my UKARA has just run out. Mind you if buying aftermarket upgrade parts helped with my defence (mainly several gear sets off you over the past couple of months) I'd be sorted!
 
Cheers.
 

The PSG1 finally arrived, Bloody hell its heavy haha 

Finally sorted out my A&K LR300
Good deal from Titano Store for £165 but needed some tlc to get it working well.  (Was shooting 260fps way right and some of the screws were completely wrong type)
M100 spring, Maple leaf macaron, reshim including motor height set on half shell, bearing guide and now shoots 320 dead straight 👍
 
 
 

Thing to remember when painting is that surface prep is the most imortant factor. Needs to be completely free of dirt and grease, running some fine wet and dry abrasive paper over it, clean it again with detergent (washing up liquid, diluted, rinse, dry, then ideally use IPA (isoproyl alcohol) and a lint free cloth to give a final clean, before spraying several LIGHT coats of paint from about a foot away, leaving a few minutes between coats. Fewer coats the better. Applying varnish after will not protect the paint if it hasn't been applied correctly to start with. Preparation is key to a decent finish. Also don't mix different types of paint (acrylic with enamel for instance) or you can end up with paint finish resembling crazy paving!

Lol
Serious adult therapy shooting that if you've had to endure kids watching it over and over!

Just re-barrelled my XM-177 due to damage. 2 piece Cyma barrel gives me 2 guns for the price of 1, the XM177 or a USAF GUU-5P (real world former XM / M16 carbine with M4 barrel upgrade) by using the Cyma M4 barrel extension. Needs a little touch up of paint in one or 2 places. Gearbox was rebuilt while it was in pieces too. Few details still to deal with if I can find parts, namely the slip ring and pistol grip, but I'm pretty happy with it. :-)

Excellent - indeed those Rocket products are identical across the board to SHS - I initially thought they would mix in some other manufacturers but definitely the same OEM as SHS but 30% cheaper...

3 mags for my KWC co2 Mini Uzi, ordered from Gunfire, found somewhere stocking them outside HK at LONG LONG last, BIG thanks to Mr. Spoon for the heads up!

I love the title " Wild Ride " wheeeyy heeey down boyy phwarrrrr

Worth mentioning that Cyma M4's usually chrono around 360fps out of the box unless you bought from somewhere which pre downgrades them, which is too hot for most sites (350 is usually the maximum acceptable, can be 328 at some sites so worth checking).
 
A Marui hop rubber (£5 from Firesupport) is about the only upgrade worth doing until something goes wrong (often with Cyma's the trigger switch contacts can become burnt from arcing and need replacing but again they are cheapish to replace. With the stock 8.4v battery they should last a good while but as said above a bigger battery will kill them quicker).
 
Cyma gearbox innards are compatible with standard V2 parts. The gears are quite good in them as standard. As said youtube is a good source of strip down guides, just remember there are a lot of parts in a gearbox, some under spring pressure which will attempt to go into orbit when you open it up, so the first time make sure you open it inside a plastic bag.
 
I can recommend Fire Support for parts online as well as Pete ("ak2m4") on this forum. Again I'm not from your part of the world so can't recommend any sites sorry.

just like to add......
 

 
 
tbh I dunno about locking it - just delete this whole post
I see all sides but the slim 0.0001% relation to airsoft in the post
the rest is envoking a reaction that the c*nt has set out to do from the start
so this whole thread is giving him more attention plus squabbles perhaps
 
the whole thread is nearly as $hit as most of my posts ffs
yes the Nazi's/Germans were horrible c*nts too
but the world has tried to move on and learn from it all
 
The "joke" or just having a laugh.....
yup even Prince Harry was snapped as a Nazi....
However - very often "jokes" are at somebody's expensive
be it the one about the 3 irishmen, 2 black guys, a blonde woman etc....
But this "joke" is deemed by many to be in bad taste just to seek attention imho
 
This is my last word on the matter - ffs just forget the post along with the w@nker
just giving it more attention and fanning fires etc.......
 
I really don't believe in deleting posts but this one I wouldn't mind not seeing again
if I could edit a poll but I didn't start the post - this post should be removed
if you wanna remember anything - buy a poppy but forget this crap

I have a Tango Down stubby vert grip on my PDW and love it. Full size vert grips on small AEG's look odd to me, just my 5p worth of course. . . Also use a AFG on my AKS74U which is ok but tbh thinking of swapping it out for another TD at some point.

UK Mail / Parcel Pete is a decent courier but I'm sure in their small print is some crap about gas/guns
 
yup here:
 
http://www.ipostparcels.com/parcel-delivery/uk-prohibited-items
 
the guys are correct - short of delivering it yourself in person there is always a risk of it being in their prohibited list of crap

Didn't know they applied the pressurised gas bit to GBB stuff instead of just the magazines. That's bonkers.

Unfortunately as far as GBBs are concerned basically you're running a gauntlet. I don't know of any parcel company that will accept them. AEG's are fairly straightforward as Parcelforce will take them (BUT NOT batteries unless new unopened in original packaging), basically gas guns fall foul by virtue of being prohibited for sending as they are CAPABLE of containing pressurised gas (ie magazines or internal gas cylinders, whether or not they have gas in) and there have been a couple of cases of them being seized/destroyed without compensation, even with the gas filler valves removed (on Zeroin forum iirc).
 
HOWEVER people still send them day in day out and the vast majority evidently get through ok (though I would think twice if its likely to involve border checks or airmail).
 
If you have to post it I would suggest honesty is the best policy, make sure the mags are empty of gas tell the Post Office its airsoft sporting goods and contains no batteries or gas and even mark the package with words to that effect, as well as the addressees UKARA number if applicable, but bare in mind as said TECHNICALLY its breaching their conditions of postage and if you were unlucky enough for it to be checked you may find it gets seized.
 
Best of luck!

Go with ak2m4 mate
 
I've bought things from him, he's a top bloke & always gives great advice

I think the term less is more
 
soz I'm jumping back in the shower

A marshall/player shouting "push forward" will generally see you getting hosed if you take it at face value! :-(

The Old KWA/KSC Glocks with plastic slides had moulded in markings but not in white (at least mine hasn't) and they do look and feel like the TM version, though without any TM markings obviously. Plastic outer barrel plus insane ROF. Firesupport best bet for spares, I had a new hop rubber from them. Box for mine is printed with KWA but has gold KSC stickers too. . .

There is a ship on the west coast of the USA that is used by a milsim company for games.
 
 

And use of a Minigun of course. . . :-)
