Del did you get something sorted? If not give me a bell have my old PC just sitting here looking for a good home.

Lots of good motors out there, the SHS standard motors are pretty good and cheap, same with the ZCI motors (these are slightly cheaper). If you want to go for something a little more upmarket then Lonex do a good range. But before you start shelling out definately worth trying to find out what the actual problem is first. What spring is this pulling? Also have you tried inserting a long screwdriver into the nozzle and pushing to see if the actual piston goes all the way back? Just another thing you can do before you crack it open...

What battery are you using Moose? Is it fully charged etc. I know sounds like a stupid question but it's the first thing to rule out. If there's not enough power the gears won't be able to pull the spring back.

Nice one snake - if i was in your boat I'd do the same. Please make sure you let us know how it goes with the import, costs / times etc.

Good summation by Longshot. I've had a lot of parts sent over from the US and some GBB Mac-10's (2 in one shipment) - no UKARA number, nothing and everything sailed through customs. Everyone has a different story though. How much is it to send a receiver from the US to UK these days? - I'm guessing around $20, is the courier USPS? After you've added up the cost of postage maybe you're only saving a few quid???

if UKARA is difficult to obtain then perhaps look into what sites offer their own membership scheme..

Blimey not been to Shadow Opz since the heady days of Richborough power station and then their old place in Sturry, are they still up at the old paintball venue up Elms Vale Dover?

Dover / Folkestone chap here. Lots of airsoft sites in Kent at the moment - bit different from the old days of CAGE in Chatham :-) however needs a decent CQB venue for the Winter. I did recently try contacting a potential venue but phone was disconnected.....

May pop in on the way home from work tomorrow afternoon - but not till 3/4pm. Does anyone know if they do half day tickets? I don't remember seeing them last year..

Definitely takes 4 batteries, 2 on each side - they are a pain to put in. I ended up taping two together to make it easier. All the one's I've had or sold have been very bright...

Heard this on Radio 2 last week whilst driving home..made me want to book a fortnight 'vacation' in Florida, drive around in a convertible whilst wearing a suit without a shirt and shoes without socks. Instead I just dug out my old Jan Hammer CD...

Sorry i stand corrected by the chap above...purchasing.

Remember UKARA is just one of many different forms of defense. It's not the holy grail of RIF ownership!

I remember around 1984 Thatcher decided every school should have a computer so our primary school got a Links Machine??? I think it was called..... No one actually used it for programming apart from one of the teachers who made a pirate game that everyone in the whole school would queue up in line to play haha

I've had a few of the ACOG fibre's in stock in the past, they are really neat in regards to not needing any batteries, there's nothing to maintain, just work out of the box. I used a 4x for a while but found it a pain, would rather have a 1x but it's all down to the type of style you play. Build quality is pretty decent for a clone (well the ones I've had in), some come with trades some don't, made by loads of difference factories all over the place I would guess. £99 is a tad high yes. Hope that helps a little.

Anyone ever play that FPS shooter Call of Juarez? The game where two teams tried to plant and defuse dynamite. Was full of bugs and oddities but on a LAN this was one of the best multiplayer games around.

This place is apparently in Cornwall. Surely someone will turn this into an Airsoft venue. Imagine the fun :-) http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=33f_1403958253

100:300 - 100:200 etc are what they call Helical gears - some info here: http://www.airsoftcanada.com/showthread.php?p=526008

Thanks for the kind mention chaps. If you're interested in a shell mate I'll so you a special intro price. Personally I really like the QD design (some people hate them). Not quite sure how well the gearbox will fit with a G&P though, always difficult with aftermarket parts.

Where is this WW? Ahh sorry just seen it in another thread......

Hey nice one swoop :-) Sounds like a very interesting job you had there. I wasn't the biggest Bottom fan but I made sure I got front row tickets for their tour in 1991 - such a good night. May have to dig out my Dangerous Brothers and Bad News video's

"His Macs??". I was 8 when The Young Ones hit the screen, didn't understand many of the jokes and references at the time but slowly over the years with each watch you see just how clever the comedy was. I don't think the BBC has put out anything even close since then.

My first games console, it's doesn't get much more retro than this :-) Combat blew my mind!!

My clone takes 2 batteries.

hey mate, I've got QD complete gearboxes on my site, also gearbox shells designed on the ARES model. http://www.ak2m4.co.uk/index.php?route=product/category&path=1_10 These may suit your needs, however you may just want to buy a drop-in like the one on Gunfire which is more standard etc. Give me a shout if interested and I'll sort you out with some forum prices only :-)
