It is indeed a problem. The wall thickness of a Macaron edges on the thinner side as well so there's even more scope for the bugger to move around. I wonder if if could use 3 small grub screws? Think it would work?

I imagine that the airport staff here in the UK won't be able to check the UKARA database. Maybe it's a good idea to speak to your local site, ask them to send an email to your email address stating you're a player at their airsoft site. Or a phone call to the registered number on their webpage who can then verify you (hoping someone picks up).

@KarlosM15 it arrived today according to the tracking, give us a pic when you get a chance 🙂

@PureSilver sounds good, seems they have adjusted the games and fixed the issues.

I did go to the opening event, or may have been 2nd but left lunchtime as it was just too crowded (think numbers were around 40) - spent most of my time standing in the stairwell sadly. Hopefully they've reduced the numbers a little as I think would play quite well. As the norm difficult with a CQB site where you have to balance player numbers with the cost of running etc. Chatted with another group who also left lunchtime as well. Sounds like they've addressed some of the issues now. @PureSilver how many players were on your day?

I did wonder this as well. I've never seen an E&C with a closed cylinder before, they don't advertise it in their catalog either which is why the 500mm inner barrel threw me a little. @KarlosM15 let us know when you fit the new inner barrel will you please.

@Speedbird_666 thanks for all the pictures and writeup, had my eye on this for a while and really love the looks and ergonomics, although give me the fixed stock version. The PTS EPG integrated grip is nice and cheeky. Do "standard" gearboxes fit btw?

@Adolf Hamster oh yeah just seen on the product description page. 🙂

Why do you need a 500mm inner barrel bud?

Had a quick peek on Arthurs website, they mention based on E&C for some of their AEG's and others they don't, maybe they're in the middle of swapping OEM.

Can you tell me if the qd spring guide have 4 or 2 feet / lugs please

I believe E&C are the actual OEM, but not seen an Arthur up close.

Technically I think the plan is sound, should be less noise from the over-volume with a small increase in rof and trigger response. Looking forward to seeing the results.

Is this the ARMA which everyone is up in arms since they are charging 30 bucks for essentially a demo for the next one, v4? So many new fps out I get confused. Since UE4 and 5 every one out there making them

replacing it with a long motor works fine, I did this with my PDW

haha now I know you're an old fart like me if you remember that!

@Henton03 give me a shout if you need me to measure up for you.

this might be out of date as it's a couple of years old now...

From what I can tell 1 (maybe 2) Chinese factories making brushless at the moment (not including Warhead). Sold under different brands like Option, AOLS and Military Action. All have CNC aluminium casings. My guess they keep brushless production small to allow enough time to make as much money from non-brushless. It will probably take a new player in the market with little or no non-brushless investment to shake things up. At least 1 Taiwanese company also, I think ADV. Check out ShinWei YT channel if your Mandarin is good enough 🙂 Although when I looked at these they looked extremely similar to the ones now being produced by ChiHai in China.

Agreed, for the price point it does everything I need. It's a good solution for a standard trigger switch, gives you the option of hot-swapping and been proved to be pretty reliable.

What improvements would you make?

Few days rnr then a short VMware contract, then back to unpack the ZCI order. New ZCI plastic and metal M4 body samples arriving also which should be interesting 🙂 Then need to fix my problematic website, db errors, prob gonna die soon, whoops! Also been asked to look at the new airsoft defence app. Never enough time in the day is there.

Very cool, congratulations on making it this far. Kinda reminds me of the B&T APC9K

That's programmers talk 🙂

Even the most reliable AEG can develop faults early on, it's just the nature of the sport sadly. It's probably why there's so many differing opinions. No such thing as a sure thing in Airsoft sadly.
