That's a name ...

@Lozart wow 72 euros, so probably over £100 by the time it reaches these shores... 🙂

Yep went down that road, had a nice prototype system knocked up but based on feedback security / gdpr was a big concern and increasing cost to the project. I agree it's not in the interest of the controlling members of UKARA to encourage sales of 2nd hand rifs.

You're not the only one 🙂

yeah up to the task, however that price is insanely high and if you wanted reliability then SHS at half the price or Solink would have been the better option. I used to sell these but I was getting a reports of screws coming loose and shafts snapping so gave them the boot.

Difficult to say, you mentioned your gears broke with 18:1 but you've put 14:1 in which is going to add more stress. What brand of 14:1 gears? I only know 1 type and if it's the one's thinking about they have a cast sector gear.

@Kha0s should be super easy to get your existing aeg's in order - just a re-grease, some new orings and a new hop rubber. Maybe a new spring - dead easy 🙂 If you get stuck plenty of video's and help on here

Brilliant, immortalised in The Young Ones 🙂

Come on don't leave us hanging, what was the band called? Would we know them? Was it Steps ? 😄

Any gearbox should be able to handle a M105, it's not until you get to M130 and above you can start to have issues with motor, gears and battery. Of course not all M105's are the same, was it one of mine or an ASG?

these guys are based in Netherlands I believe, although that might be a front for a Chinese company - lot of stuff goes through NL. Price is indeed pretty decent, £65 for the SLR, says shipped via GLS. All Nylon of course. I purchased a sample MAXIM branded M4 from the factory in China, and it's really nice externally. I also have a converted SLR. Super easy to convert to airsoft, just need new gearbox, inner barrel and hop chamber.

if you want a chrono I've got an older Hante test one you can have for a fiver. just drop me a message on here.

@Pseudotectonic all good intentions, I agree 100%. I highly doubt it UPS has access. Guessing Border Force has some type of access? Asked my friend who works in IT for them and he's never heard of it before. I remember someone here doing a FOI check and it gave back with nothing. Given the fact UKARA is owned by a UK retailer doesn't make sense for them to make it easy to import.

@Enid_Puceflange not sure if you've fixed or not but if you can post the problem on the FB ngrs and Graeme from Tactical Geordies will help you out

Just a quick add, not sure if it's just business customers but the last UPS shipment I had arrive the declaration system kinda went semi-digital. I got an email to say follow this link, then I had to fill out a few HS questions and then was told to download the usual form, fill it in and upload, pay my fees etc. All done without the UPS person phoning and then emailing me direct. Great I thought! Step in the right direct at least. However after 2 more days of no movement I then get the usual call and email from UPS asking me to fill out the form haha....So filled it out twice in the end.. Anyone else have this?

strange response from the retailer, I wonder if they did open up the gearbox. QD V2.0 refers to the actual ability to change the spring without removing the gearbox from the lower, however QD V1.0 you had to remove the whole gearbox from the lower. Looking at the photo of the gearbox for QD V2.0 it's showing a non QD gearbox as well .... Very confusing. I know it can be a ballache but sometimes you just wish retailers would just do a nice video takedown of each RIF.

QR EGV is their improved gearbox version, it is worth 20 quid, yeah probably.

It's a smidge shorter, something like 0.2mm. Very unlikely to be the issue but worth trying different combinations. Try an official ML nub, plus I also got some new nubs recently. You have a L96 right? What does the hop look like?

Have a search on here but I believe it's still Parcel Force, you're limited to £100 compensation, check this as it's off the top of my head and it's late 🙂

Damn bad luck, as a few people have said keep on them, it's all perfectly legit. Be sure to let us all know how it goes.

I've put up 10% discount on everything till Monday or when it all runs out 🙂 Black10 in the coupon section.

cylinder vents sounds right, as other said chop and change the chamber and/or the nozzle

What's the cylinder type, and what's the spring if you happen to know?

Some good solutions. Generally 1st thing you need to do is remove it from the AEG and give it a thorough clean. Some barrels have tiny burrs left inside that are impossible to see without a decent borescope. I've seen tiny machining marks left over in the last 30mm that give the BB a tiny spin. If you're near me in Kent (River) leave it with me and I'll run my borescope down it for you.

31K's Long and Short should arrive next week
