Unless they've changed their terms, there's no point buying the insurance with PF since, as far as I remember, RIFs are excluded from the extended insurance cover I'd be surprised if they even gave you the £150 in the standard cover they offer for any lost rifs £15 for postage is a good max to charge for one rif, with a few quid spare to soak up some paypal fees Only time it's cost me £20 to ship is when there's been 3 rifs in one shipment, weight was just under 30kg in total Who knows, maybe they are quoting with insurance added 🤷‍♂️

If you're looking for experiences, then it might be a good shout to check out the Recommend a Tech threads Otherwise, I would say it depends on your gun, what you want from it, your budget and how long you wanna wait The more experienced/popular techs will no doubt have the longest waiting times and higher cost per hour charge. If it's for your ICS then Fire-support are the UK ICS specialists and tend to have all the little obscure parts for them - their site says "Labour fee is calculated on a job to job basis, but a service is approximately 30-40." I used them briefly when I bought my ICS Mp5 on release and had a motor issue. They were pretty quick, with fast/friendly comms and sorted the issue - no problems People will have their go-to techs for things like HPA, GBBR, Tokyo Marui as those particular places will have a name for doing (hopefully) great work with them You should look to get anything minor like general shimming, changing a hop, changing/upgrading a piston done whilst booked for a service to get better value for your money/time Shimming and the mere installation of parts like that are generally included in that pricing, just not the actual cost of the parts supplied by the tech, (as you'd expect) Most techs will allow you to provide parts yourself, but will not offer any guarentee on any parts they did not advise/supply So Service+Parts+Return Postage is usually the general "quote". -IF- they offer a flat charge for a Service, then average is usually between £30-50 - depending on what they deem is part of that service. some have different versions with different prices like "basic service" or "full service" If they don't offer a flat charge for a "Service", then yeah it's whatever their hourly rate is and how long it takes them

Best bet is probably an M90 spring AK2M4 is currently out of stock on any m90's I usually use these (select m90) https://www.bullseyecountrysport.co.uk/rocket-airsoft-aeg-spring-m90-m100-m110-m120-m130-m140-38644-p.asp Shipping is a bit of an oof though (£6.99) I generally get around the 300-320 mark with these, testing on .25g blaster devils, (dependant on*), so are generally a good shout, especially if you got anything in your gun boosting fps, e.g *Hop unit/rubber/barrel

https://www.airsoft-hub.com/item/25770-100rd-electric-pistol-mags-x2 - £55 posted?!? orrrr £10er each new from PB..

sometimes it do be like that good to hear you sorted it well done 💪

Can confirm. Last time i put a perun in an mp5 (cyma gearbox), i found the ICS stickers to be the key Mp5 are a little more finnicky with testing for the perun I would suggest assembling the gearbox in the lower, with only the trigger, sector gear and mosfet in the shell (as per Perun's own advice) > manual From there, connect the battery with the gun on safe and the mosfet should go into "debug/test" mode. Go through your fire selections. Flashing yellow means motor disconnected (which, yes, it should be for this part) white- safe blue - semi red - auto purple - trigger pull detected green - sector gear movement detected from there you should be able to tell if the sensor sticker is properly aligned if it is, then great, put all the other bits back in and fully reassemble

Since you've said in another post that this was a new purchase, from a retailer (patrolbase), and it shot 300 bbs before it fried - then I would send it back for repair/replacement (as stated by CrackCommandoUnit1972 Then: just use the gun until it needs upgrading Cyma plats tend to already have upgraded gearbox internals and motor, so you're good there. Otherwise, pretty much what Leo said Until the mosfet dies, wouldn't bother replacing Until the hop rubber shows signs of wear, (usually after a few thousand rounds), wouldn't bother replacing You could upgrade the barrel, but, if it's firing fine - leave it Mosfet wise, with the perun: You might have to modify the gearbox shell slightly for it to fit in properly mostly just means filing down/removing a "post" or sometimes the cut-off screw hole. If this is the case, then you'll need to clean out your gearbox shell afterwards and reapply any necessary greases - cracking open the gearbox voids warranty Start by contacting Patrolbase, tell them the problem with the gun, they'll either try diagnosing/fixing the issue remotely, or request you sent it them for repair Then, if the gun works, leave it be (so long as you havent opened anything, you can send the items you bought back for full refund, though maybe keep the silicon oil for general maintenance).

in my experience stock specnas will happily run about 260-280 fps with no issue, they wont be amazing, but they will run specna are one of those brands that can do nice externals, but their gearbox work leaves much to be desired would expect what little air seal it had, has now gone completely likely needs cracking open and servicing (although if you still have flyers, then it might just be hop-side related) i would also advise against using the ML omega nub with that rubber. their nubs are very hard, and can cause issues with feeding the gearparts(XT) omega style nub works better, as is softer than ML's (prob go with this one; XT Omega Nub Soft 70) I initially suspected it was merely issues with the ML omega nub, but you mentioned you swapped it back to stock and still having the problems. Service it yourself if you're confident to do so (swap out the ML omega nub), or drop it in to a tech ///

If it is indeed a gun with the ARES EFCS that's usually because it's not reading the magnet in the sector gear so it shuts down for "safety" need to open gun and check what's up could be as simple as realign the sector gear or replace or at worst, mosfet needs replacing cos it's gone doowally
