Lozart had one IIRC, PM him.

[Typical "First RIF/AEG" Thread]

If you have already decided on the EBR why bother start the thread?

 

Get the EBR it's a good gun.

[Seems a bit quiet in Airsoft ATM]

I love air soft this time of year, all the weekend hoody warriors are too cold to come out to play, so its just full of us old farts sitting in the safe zone drinking coffee moaning about how cold and wet it is and complimenting each others guns.

[Another Camo Pattern Question]

But not the one we normaly hear.

 

A good few months back I stumbled across a website or a blog where an airsofter or paintabller had used the sewing pattern from CRY G3s and created his own g3 style pants out of material he had.

 

Now the site had downloadable and printable paper sewing patterns, that I would love to get hold of, but cant for the life of me find it again. Am I going mad? Has anyone else seen this mythical site and can you point me to the right direction?

 

I really have the urge to g3 some DPMs, I love the colour and material but they have a huge baggy arse and need more tacticool.

I also want to see what some g3 Denim jeans look like, and maybe even re purpose a hello kitty bedsheets Mrs Monkey Nuts wont let me put on the bed.

 

Alternatively, if anyone has any old, faded, worn or ripped g3 style, (chinese clones are ok) they would like rid of please let me know by PM. I could reverse engineer them and will make the sewing pattern available on this forum.

 

Much love x

Mr Monkey Nuts

[oil for gbb pistol]

Ghk oil, it's more expensive than abbey, but the amount you use will last longer than most guns will.

[New and wanting advice]

Bravo 22 at Formby is a decent site, can be a bit hit and miss with dickheads, but that is not exclusive to them.

Traditional or modern? Either way you will need a woggle.

[Airsoft gas masks - Any good brands?]

No there are no good brands of airsoft gas masks.

 

An DMA army of two mask is about the best if you are really desperate for a full face.

Or a dye i4 if you like the pose-baller look.

[Please help with new gas pistol slide issue]

Cheese beat me to it. I suspect he has the main problem identified.

 

Try filling a mag and keeping it in your pocket for half an hour or so to warm it up a little.

Also check it's not leaking, dunk it in a bowl of water and look for bubbles.

[Alternative loadout best options?]

I very almost just bought a Atacs FG loadout, complete for about £150

 

TMC gen3 BDU = £44

Was DCS+Elastic mag with -30% =£97

 

Ultra leet alternative operator = Priceless!

 

What I like about FG is it is different enough to stand out, but is not different enough to stand out!

[Quick Questions & Simple Answers.]

You never will completely. it's a well known problem in aviaton painting circles.

warm soapy water, dry rag, IPA, dry rag should get most but the trace elements.

It's not the end of the world and on poor quality barrels may work well, but putting silicon down your Gucci PDI barrel is like using bulldog bbs.

[Quick Questions & Simple Answers.]

Do not use silicon in the barrel, silicon is virtually impossible to clean, even IPA will not remove it properly. Using silicon oil in your barrel will do nothing but attract and retain excess dirt.

Y'all just jealous my golf balls go further than your airsoft guns!

 

[edit] to be fair there ate a lot of similarities, they both cost a fortune,, they both involve posing outdoors, they both are full of cheaters!

[how to remove scope lens ring?]

It's just one of these http://www.ebay.co.uk/ulk/itm/330629921962

 

And one of these

http://www.ebay.co.uk/ulk/itm/221300599125

Can be had cheaper from china. I did pop the clear lense out of the supplied cover but it was a bit cloudy and scratched. Those covers may be clear enough on its own.

[how to remove scope lens ring?]

I just got a scope cap and sandwiched the Perspex in that, I would not be dismantling it.

[CQB - Weapon-]

it's a bit unfair to blame the gun for being clumsy.

[Tactical Gear brands and opinions]

Before you continue arguing with CK, may I suggest you take a look at his posts in the "what have you bought" thread.

He certainly knows what he is talking about.

[Target practice at home]

a couple of coke cans or bean tins, nice and reactive, have them stood up, or lay them onto their end for a smaller target.

 

Although 5m is hardly any sort of range, i would expect my cat to hit a tin at 5m.

[Honey Badger - shops near sutton in ashfield ?]

Try Trojan armoires in stockport he may have some.

[Best BB weight for DMR]

What he said!

[G&G combat machine appraisal]

It's not a spring issue, it's an air seal issue.

this airsoft notion that leaving a spring cocked will cause it to fail is ridiculous, it may reduce it's life and rebound by a few FPS but will not kill a beefy main spring outright.

270 FPS is 80 FPS loss from what we expect of g&gs which are often hot. 80 is too much even for a tired, worn spring. The fact the previous tech has replaced the air nozzle and hopup unit reinforces it has a pre terminal air seal issue. They most likely threw in a stronger m110 spring because they couldn't fix it. You will possibly need a m140 to plaster over the crack, who will kill the motor.

 

My gut is a Cracked shell causing an un identifiable leak, but without stripping the box we will never know, hence why it's a project.

 

Certainly spend an hour with some fairy power spray, and maybe some paint to tidy it up will add a few quids.

 

Nobody should be buying 2nd hand batteries, we don't know the life cylcle or workl load of them, they are always a hassle, especially as they are so cheap.

 

Pack of 5 Mid caps are worth £30 +p of anyone cash. But again we don't know their work load.

Hi caps worth £5 a piece.

 

It wasn't a dig at all, and I'm not pushing anyone any direction, just sharing my experience.

I was the person buying this gun when I started, and I had my fingers burnt badly, I don't want to see someone else buy a broken gun and I don't want you to have the hassle when someone who does known what their are looking for comes back for your blood.

 

For reference the mags are £55 and the gun is £120 brand new.
