At least I know someone cares 🤪
 
I'm doing a bit better each day thanks Egon.
Its going to take a few months but I'll get back on my feet 👍

I'm Dartford way. Drive past "doom valley" on my way to and from work. 😁👍

Damn. Shat myself in a car let alone on a KTM. Are you in Darent valley hospital? If you are, let me know if you need anything, I'm local ok? 👍

@Chopper92 an IT friend did some work on a system, knew the ins and outs of GDPR etc, was also a security bod, but he found a lot of "issues" from the community and decided it just wasn't worth the time and effort involved.   was a shame as I thought it was looking pretty good.

Yes, only retailers, "UK Boarder Agency" (sic) or Hampshire Dibble should have access to UKARA. One-or-some retailers will check for you if you ask, for reasons that continue to escape me. 
 
However, UKARA is just one way of adducing just one defence. Demonstrating any sort of history of having played, and intending to play, airsoft, would satisfy me.

Quick change spring as standard on these little DEs, fortunately! Turns out I accidently threw in a massive spring instead of the one that orginally came out of it - it's still a little spicy but with the hop set it settles right down. Compression parts are awesome - gonna order another set for a friend's CYMA CAR-15 I've suddenly got the confidence to ''fix'' or fuck around with inside lol (do need a new cyma mosfet board though, trigger is knackered)

Now you get to take it all apart again 🙂

Might be a tad over spec!

AHH ok lol.  I get lots of orders from guys on the forum but they use their real names so never really know who anyone is.  Internet animosity just as it should be 😄

The lack of G&S confirmation here is worrying me a bit.

Was that the 500mm order?

My (teen) daughter often does it with modern stuff because of the sound balance issues and near constant score and foley.
 
Co-incidentally, she was watching the Historical Documents today - Space Seed, A Taste of Armageddon - without issues because of the clarity.
 

Planning on doing a order of a few bits for delving inside one of the pews because a jam's knackered the airseal stuff inside so I'll let you know - heart of gold you've got by the way haha, appreciate it

How wide is the hop chamber slot for the nub?  Omega nubs are only 4mm wide so not much to play with, any smaller and it might affect how the thing actually works.  I don't think cutting nubs is a good way to reduce the size also, your better off sanding down I think with some fine grit paper, taking a little off each side very slowly.  

If you do you order another one up I'll drop in a spare factory 2nd one I have so you can practise your sanding 🙂

Shall we bring Guarder spring ratings into the conversation, just to really cause confusion?

Thanks Colin, means a huge amount when I hear stuff like that and spurs me on.  

I agree with Lozart; the XT springs seem to be far more consistent within each power rating than any others that I have tried.

Not guesswork as such, more that the length of the spring is a function of the material, thickness, coil density and heat treatment.
 
In theory, two M110 springs can be completely different lengths but still have the same result in the gun. One of the big differences is that OEM springs tend to be cheaper, linear and not so likely to last for long whereas aftermarket ones are often made from better materials, have progressive windings etc (so cost a bit more). Quite often in my experience at least, the OEM springs are thicker, linear and made of some kind of weird alloy of steel and brie that loses its strength quite quickly but is often shorter because they're made from thicker metal than an equivalent aftermarket one made of finest Japanese tool steel.
 
Unless your new spring is SOOOOO much longer that you're effectively preloading it too much by compressing it into your gun, I really wouldn't sweat it. None of the manufacturers seem to be able to actually make springs that are consistent between each other, even at the same ratings. Find one that works for you and stick with it. 

Obviously, that spring you settle on should be XT ones from @ak2m4. They have been far and away the most consistent ones I've tried over the years!
 
 
(No, I'm not on commission)

Ak2m4 has a gearbox set with one in for a few quid, so I'll be getting one if those shortly.

Maybe he's just flexing on us that he got the most expensive airsoft gun with all the best parts you can buy, and then replaced every single one of those best parts with even bester ones.

@Robert James I think the guys at Alpha Delta have them although not on the website
