never heard of armatech, like most things airsoft the SHS rotary might be great in one build, bad in another

@Fatboy40 Don't be too miffed about the drop in your DE M904E, it's actually firing a little low but it's good enough without having to open it up again. The stock spring could be fine, problem could even be with the cylinder head, piston oring, nozzle, bucking, hop chamber etc.

Damn, nothing surprises me the depths some people will go in order to obtain something for free. @Tackle totally agree about RM, they have really let the ball slip on their "signed for" service. They are supposed to double-check the address however I've noticed some will just hand over the package to the wrong address without a 2nd glance. Luckily all signatures are GPS tracked, however I'm current in a battle with their claims department over a signed for package they delivered to the wrong address, they are being assholes

@Brophy how did you know that the person receiving didn't actually receive anything?

Great job @AK47frizzle love the look of the grip

@Fatboy40 haha, you should be fine with the sp100, I get around 360fps with 0.2g (sorry I don't know the J). As an interesting experiment the start length is 170mm, let me know what the length is after a couple of 1000 BB's

I'm no expert but have a small bit of experience with spring making companies as I have my own (Gearparts) springs made. Yes stock springs on the whole will lose power over time. They're generally made from cheaper non-tempered wire, sometimes call "piano wire". This wire is readily available and cheap. My own springs are made from oil-tempered Japanese SWOC-V steel and less susceptible to shrinking overtime. The M110 I've been testing for the past 18 month 300,000 cycles is still the same length as day 1. I've never performed a stress test on Guarder but imagine they are pretty much up there.

An SHS AK head, got a few of those, which one did you need out of interest? I've noticed that since the larger Chinese stores like Aliexpress have implemented VAT at source all of my other purchases from independent HK retailers have sailed through customs with no charges.. It's almost as if no vat and duty checks are being made simply because they are catching the majority at source. Maybe we'll start seeing the rise of HK stores again similar to mid-2000's. Who knows, still early days.

Such a little tease 🙂 Did the new ZCI barrel fix the problem?

Thanks for the kind feedback, it's much appreciated.

there really is no set size for lips, or pretty much anything. I'm testing a couple of new gearbox shells right now and I'm swopping out parts like you wouldn't believe trying to get the best fit - it's just the nature of the beast and something you need to accept when tinkering.

Damn, didn't know Paypal now do this, if they start rolling this out on low transactions where items are sent via non tracking services, could cause all sorts of price hikes.

@Super64 can you clarify a little, have you sent off the rif or literally the guy just paid and you're waiting to post?

Sounds like a charge-back to me

Lunberg!!! I f**king love that movie, not seen it for years, need to go watch

I actually quite like the P90, however every incarnation always had the hi-cap poor feed problem which you had to thump the mag to get it to feed again. Mid-caps are a solution but they are like 2 and half times bigger than a M4 mag, carry 5 or 10 of those around and you look like a right knob, in my case even a bigger knob. Novritsch perhaps should have gone all out and tried to produce a hi-cap mag which worked..

Are you from Reddit 🙂 CYMA M4's are super decent for the price.

It'll be shimmed to a usable standard from the factory, good enough to use. Like all AEG's don't expect it to be perfect though, even with a reshimming perfection is difficult to achieve. It's just the nature of the design, the tolerance, the factory process etc. However I just tried, there's no way to enter a shipping method to the UK

Buying a new complete gearbox doesn't always solve your problems, best to work with the existing shell. From the pics looks like you just need a new piston, piston head, and selector plate. You need to test your cylinder head and nozzle. Grab some metal and silicone lube, some shims. Never used a Lonex A2 before, my choice would be a SHS high torque motor but there's plenty of others out there.

A Chinese supplier of mine was asking me about the GBLS a couple of years ago, what I thought etc. Guess they were looking at producing something "similar" but never heard anything else about it. Thanks for the write up @mightyjebus

I'm confused (doesn't take much), so you're going to pick it up? What did he say when you said you can pick it up?

Notice how the first message from Daniel is pretty normal / well written. Nothing gives it away apart from the "Peace be with you". However by the end, communication break-down has occurred with weird capital letters, broken English etc. @Samlondon thanks for the time to put this together.

Hi and welcome to the forums. I'm no diet or fitness expert but from what I've learnt over the years it all starts with the diet. Cutting out the processed foods, reduce carbs and sugar etc worked wondered for me. There's also a good thread already, worth checking out.

The E&C qd gearbox shells are easily the best bang for buck performance, they are just super hard to get in the UK right now. Quickest way at the moment is probably ordering from a HK store that has stock. You might have fitment issues with the SA receiver but that's to be expected. Not going to be for another 6-8 weeks sadly. There's a small chance I might get 5 or 10 in stock soon but COVID is causing all sorts of delay at the moment, from the factory to shipping to customs.

I did one before at the Mall, it was actually a gas only day and it was one of the best bit of airsofting I've ever done.
