[Is there a way for a 16yo to get a RIF?]

UKARA is proof that the holder is an airsofter. If the venue you go would give him a membership for turning up 3 times in not less than 2 months, and they are on the UKARA scheme, then your dad would get that proof and could buy a RIF that he could gift to you.

[Low FPS on recent project]

Harsh truth is that you can keep shovelling money into it or you can give it to an airsoft tech who understands the details of how things work and will fix it for you.

[How does the Ofcom License Work?]

Plus we are usually far away from normal people using PMR frequencies, so even with higher power, we don't interfere with anything. Probably that's why no one cares.

Mine works! 👍 

Now to buy 1500 tracer bbs for a hypothetical night game that I might not play for 6 months...

Mine flashes the flash too, but it's not bright enough to illuminate the tracer BBs.

[Weight watcher build and the 0.28]

For extreme lightweight you might try this: https://www.printables.com/model/164853-mosquito-airsoft-kit-open-beta?fbclid=IwAR21DHG2pd7Kju6MgZVn7h4Kkvx4XfUIRZzD0Q9G0cs0X9ANVLV_JZd9CWc

V3 gb and AK hop. Mags are mp5 mags though.

For super-extreme, you can even try it with a plastic gearbox.

[Ghillie suit wearers/snipers wearing team armbands around their ankles or hidden among their foliage. Cheating? Close to the limits? Tactical?]

As a bush, I say the rules apply to all. If I can wear it on my ankle, the non bushes can too. If I can hide it with my gear, they can too. Then it's a personal choice with its consequences.

I never wear it on my ankle, I'd get friendly fired too much, but I do prefer blue over red.

I do see it too many times that it is explicitly said to be an armband and non ghillies wear it on the front of their vest's shoulder strap. It's not about being in ghillie, it's about being a certain type of person.

[Ares Amoeba Striker AS-01/AS-02 Owners Thread]

Without knowing the exact parts you have, could be the spring guide is too long. This cylinder might not have enough space to allow it to be pulled back enough.

Or the cylinder doesn't have enough space for this spring and it's fully compressed before it's pulled back enough.

Try if it locks back if you don't have the spring in it. Then with the original spring guide.

If anyone is looking for small mock surpressor airsoftworld are selling these. It's cheap and you might get a traser too.

Bought it, it's indeed useless as a tracer.

No. Sometimes even if it's the same brand, they don't fit.

A straight pull bolt handle is also faster.

I've been using it for years now and love it.

[Ares striker AS-01 long range issue]

If it's not that two diameter cylinder, like the edgi, then there's nowhere near enough air volume for a 0.48g BB and an 550 barrel.

70 hardness rubber is too hard for that weight. The recommended hardnesses are for the measured FPS on the weight you use, not the FPS it would be on 0.20g.

Umarex doesn't manufacture guns. They buy real steel licences.

[Airsoft map designer needed for hire]

Note that Serbian / Hungarian airsoft needs are very different to the UK ones. Best get some local guys on it as someone already mentioned.

[Bringing your own replica to the UK]

When I was in the same situation I replaced more than 50% of the external parts of one of my guns (stock, foregrip and grip of a G3) with bright green painted ones, partly disassembled it, and got it posted here. As this is importing, so it's an offence to import a RIF (Group 2 is wrong).

Then when I got my defence, I imported all my stuff and changed the green parts back. All nice and legal.

Thanks. Looks like I need a new hop unit to improve accuracy. Any ideas?

Factory unit is good. Get a gunsmithy hop arm and a decent bucking for accuracy.

ICS Galil Midcaps

This is great.

I see you printed it on the inside seam facing the bed. I think you should do it the other way. Remove the protruding parts from the side so it can lay flat. The front and back protrusions will still hold it in the shell. This way the ramp will be much cleaner. The spring will probably get stuck in the bends.

 

And/or you could make the path not just a pill shaped in cross section, but add a cutout where there's overhang. The edges will be printing cleaner.

What I did, was printing the other side on bed and added a raised part instead to create a small, smooth surface. And also because wu-tang.

The compressed spring forces the two sides apart with quite great force and even a small opening can make the BBs stuck. You might even need an other screw in the middle.

 

 

[AEP coiled cable lipo conversion Amp rating]

Just save yourself the hassle and install a lipo where the old battery was. It will last much longer than the nimh if the same size. One around 1000Mah should fit and will give you ~1500 shots.

It is a workhorse. No matter what a CM028 will just work.
