Sitting Duck

uhm ergh uhmm ergh honest answer - dunno I just gave you the dimensions of a stock tube bull$hit answer: end of the day - reckon easiest thing is to actually use a stock tube with 25-25.4mm inner diameter/28-29 diameter it will have the lugs for adjustable stock etc.... blah blah blah hack one up blah blah blah..... Normally attached to spring guide in gearbox by a M5 bolt if that helps.... dunno what stock you are seeking to fit onto gun after adapting a stock tube luckily your gun is front wired I guess so stock is really just for comfort/looks - no wires to re-route

uhm just wondering if an ics adapter could work better might be able to fit that on without too much modification perhaps - about £11 at fire-support edit - scrap that idea - thought it might have worked quite easily but stock is built in folding and only when you compare them both you see maybe not such an easy fitting:

Just measured a G&G AEG tube 25mm inner & 29mm outer diameter is what my digital vernier said so I guess 2mm thick wall but had an SRC that might have had 1.5mm wall and maybe 26mm inner FireHawk has battery in stock tube, one battery was tight fit in G&G tube but fitted inside a SRC no problem go with 25mm or perhaps 1 inch - 25.4mm

Well - change battery at lunch time if battery dies before lunch it is f*cked or a low capacity one and you spraying and praying too much most of us use 1 lipo in morning, change battery lunchtime - job done if you think about it, say you put on a crane stock... you still gotta take out the old battery, open crane stock, swap them over, replace old battery in crane and close it all back up again on the field etc...... your battery should last until lunch - if not it is probably a dying nimah 8.4v or something so in that case you don't need new stock but new batteries - lipo perhaps one day

What - you mean all of their range or just the ones that work properly ??? oooh oooh bitch bitch - and that is from a G&G fan G&G are very good at making starter guns - think very few will argue on that basis it is when you start going from £150 to £250+ they fall a bit short of the choice of other good guns (Krytac) Also in the last year I've experienced more poorly implementation of their new stuff than their tried and tested back to basics starter guns Terrible FireHawk DSG no semi - wtf was they thinking with that and poor assembly ETU crap that works on anything battery but the recommended one in manual Older Mosfets in higher end guns failing PBB boxes that can crack before normal non-pbb boxes plus other issues Their other inventions they might be thinking of implementing - the MARS - yeah good luck getting some spares for that stuff They got some interesting and perhaps bold ideas - some even might be a great item to bring to market but their actual quality of these innovations fall far short of good - let alone approaching near perfect Starter guns - yes G&G innovations like G&G Predator that works/doesn't work & £250+ - nah think I'll pass getting one of those tbh and save a bit more for a better built gun Real shame - but that is my honest opinion on their latest stuff - good starter but if buying next higher end gun try to go for Krytac or TM a higher end G&G is not such a great value for money gun imho great range - even the starters offer at least say a dozen offerings that are worth a look Krytac are having success simply because they are assembled better with better parts no fancy bits on their first initial range But sure their later range will be using components that work as they should too G&G need to start at the foundations to use & assemble quality parts in their higher range guns asap or they will steadily just become known for making starter guns - Krytac & some others are taking away sales of other manufactures - they must be And furthermore some of the Krytac sales must have been potential G&G Intermediate & TopTech buyers Yes G&G seem to make nigh on every type of M4 you could ever wish for and some you may not have considered Their range is vast - that bit they got right as they must have a M4 that most people like the look of even Mr AK Ian Gere But no point having a nice looking gun/car or other stuff if it has too many flaws or reliability issues This is what G&G have to quickly remember - not half ar$ed innovations that don't function correctly Decent basic mosfet, correct AoE, modest neodym motor, proper bushings, proper robust gears, decent seals etc.... That is why Krytac have gained ground - you can see where your money has gone coz most upgrades or improvements are not needed Get a G&G high end gun and apart from metal receiver I see little as to where say half the extra money has gone Their range of guns is plenty in the M4 area - now they need to rethink/adjust their quality control on these mid/higher end guns If I spent £250+ on a G&G Predator/Hog that the ETU is playing up I'd feel pretty damn pi$$ed and even I am thinking I'm done with G&G

Yes - you are a beast..... what stock no fit then ??? what was up with old one - its a good stock and front wired means you not gotta mess about removing it to change batteries like on FireHawk

if possible try and resist the blowback option just my opinion but G&G's blowback is just a gimmick and is just more stuff to go wrong on upgraded guns the blowback isn't designed for cycling or firing at higher speeds The blowback box is a bit different to the run of mill conventional non-blowback boxes just say clackety clack when ya fire, shake the gun a bit and less bits to fail/fly off if you gotta get a blowback gun - get a glock gas blowback pistol or something rifle - normal G&G aeg is perhaps a wise first gun choice

you need to look at stock closely..... the locking lever activates a pin going through that pulls down retracting the lug to adjust positions you need to pull that pin down further... slide stock to rear of gun - then once at back you need to pull that pin down a bit further and she will slide off fingers if ya tough enough or use something like flat screwdriver etc to lever pin down further so the lug completely clears the rear of stock tube jeeez

or if ya tough guy use ya fingers to remove the v2 stock are you just gonna put a bit of tape on it to reduce stock wobble or you wishing to rip her open - don't is best advice and it is front wired - I'm sure you know that already

read this first about cheapy cyma M4 guns - good but not quite a G&G Raider.... http://www.airsoft-forums.co.uk/index.php/topic/27302-cyma-cm515-cheapo-plastic-keymod-aeg-l70-aprox/ if the receivers on cyma were a bit better it would win hands down the plastic G&G receivers are a slightly better polymer one - flexes a tiny bit and should stand up to abuse a little more imho than the hard brittle type that might snap/crack in colder weather its close - but think G&G Raider has the edge - mainly coz receiver is better

yup - onlybbguns is slightly better than the other two but you really have to do ya homework if buying anything - more so from the lesser pro retailers a lot of crap but some decent stuff does exist in small quantities if you know what to look for also onlybbguns might still have 10% off with code: RC10 but not shopped there in quite a while same company operate as iwholesalers or something mainly buying from GunFire or TaiwanGun Still be very careful and do plenty of research before parting with ya hard earned money or stick to Zero One, FireSupport etc... for cheap M4 starters read up - ask questions and hopefully your initial purchase will be a wise & happy one

Agreed - but I only have the cheaper Army R85 and "some" others but still prefer the M4 over most of them AK's - I can't quite get my head or rather right hand around the fire selector Guess I'd maybe have to pick a G36 after M4 but this is just my personal findings But M4's I find are a lot more ergonomic and easy to pick up n shoot/use (just a case of getting used to it I guess - but L85's are not always the super gun many think they love to get) Get decent M4, get out skirmishing and maybe you will get a chance to have a little feel & shoot with one before you jump in & buy a L85 btw - I'm not trying to tell what you to buy and all that, just my own personal view on stuff I have learnt when buying peew peew toy guns

L85's are a type of gun that many people "think" they want probably coz being British and/or army/cadets etc...... Often though a number of people change their minds and may sell their L85 R85 and just stick to the run of the mill M4, AK, G36 etc...... To me it is one of them guns you think you want or want to own but it isn't quite everybody's cuppa tea in the end An ICS or G&G M4 is often a highly recommended good value starter gun even if you get a higher end gun one day - that good ol' M4 will do as a back up gun or sell on to another new player, they are good sound investments - this place runs on G&G, ICS & Krytac I think

Seriously - do not buy a £80 JBBG, BBGuns4Less or most stuff on OnlyBBGuns.... It will crap out mainly due to plastic box and you will be lucky if it worth £8 or save time and money and buy here: https://bbguns4less.co.uk/broken-guns/ hey at least you won't get any nasty shocks - you already know its f*cked Joking aside - many including myself still have the scars from BB sites Yes at a push - a real push if you played close cqb you could maybe just about scrape by with a crap gun but it won't last so that £80 will soon turn into £8 scrap Why scrap - coz most of the stuff has bespoke mags, the gearbox to replace with a proper gearbox is a bit of challenge Actually some are for really sad bastids to mod with a lot of work and nigh on most would be a total waste of time doing So when - and they will crap out you are gonna be left with a load of crap fit for the bin and nothing to show for £80 investment C'mon - they can't be that bad ??? Short answer - 98% are not worth a w@nk and most new/younger players won't be able to spot the odd 2% ok-ish ones plus them 2% are still not that great - just not complete piles of crap - crap but better crap if you like Everyone says £120..... ICS or G&G is a LOT better - end of If you stick with a G&G or ICS until you are 18+ and get ukara'd then you can get great value for money £80+ RIF's from GunFire or TaiwanGun (don't bother trying to get one without valid defense/ukara you will just waste your time and theirs - they gotta check defense so don't bother) A G&G new £120 or maybe a s/hand setup with battery/charger could be got about £100 in 2-tone if an 18+ buys it even if that busts it is gotta be worth £50 not £8 Do not think along the lines of - Well £80 JBBG and if it breaks I lost say £72 Vs £120 - if it breaks = £50 so that is £70 lost - not much difference... No - the G&G or ICS will perform better, last longer and you won't get your ar$e kicked so badly = more fun & wiser investment can be fixed - or learnt to fix yourself and still if you give up get half your money back say etc.... Don't - just don't try and see if purchasing a JBBG pile of crap can be justified - it just isn't worth the hassle - end of So you see when we say save a little more - it is because we have made the same mistake you are considering Please listen to wise words of wisdom, I wish I had found this place sooner but for me it was too late Do not give that fat liar JambWow your money - he is a clown and knows jack $hit except selling crap guns to newcomers try to up your budget and get a G&G or ICS if possible - it is that simple (ps be careful buying other bespoke guns - often bespoke means hard to get hold of parts, spares, mags n stuff)

Damn it - LWA had another 10% off offer, £7:50 e-wallet funds.... "somehow" - another FFR 2 fell into my basket and I think my youngest must of completed the checkout.... yup I know the ETU problem but its coming straight out anyway got a nice bonus coming from work and my Birthday soon so this is my last treat I told missus (yeah she don't believe me either) oh well - I'm having a party next weekend... I'm not inviting you lot - just telling I'm having a party anyway I'm lying - they all refused to come after last year....

if it is new then speak to retailer under warranty.... The symptoms are vague to say the least locking up - how severe that it hardly moves again like gearing is shot chipped/burr on gears, bushings could have failed and taken a tooth with them even a bit of plastic chip off piston - if that is in between say a spur gear tooth it can lock up if it just struggles to turn but turns over without too much strain - could be motor armature, brushes shot though tbh I doubt it if gun was left running stock but could all the same be electrical than mechanical However - the misfeed problem could be tappet/sector gear related and this could be all connected BUT this is all still guesswork at best Apart from replacing brozey bushings with solid shs bushings - not bearings perhaps replacement gears may be needed and if knackered a new tappet plate & nozzle plus a good old service AoE tweaks etc.... BUT I strongly advise first of all if there is any warranty left - speak to retailer and use the warranty if it is s/hand and out of warranty then easiest thing is to ask at local place like Mall and see who they use/know/recommend A lot easier than paying shipping both ways to send it off to somebody very difficult to diagnose but if misfeed & lock up happened at same time I'd reckon the tappet & sector gear(s) need a look at or at least that is an area to pay very close attention to when they get the box open well it is still speculation - but get in touch with retailer first if you got any warranty left best of luck

Thing is the precocking malarky can be achieved if you start running it with a little more juice..... so that she nearly double fires - half cocked so to speak Obviously as battery loses charge a bit the precocking gets reduced And you don't want to store a precocked gun either so people have been known to use a lower juice battery at end of day to park the gun/spring correctly This is not going to be nowhere as programmable as a Spectre but just one other option to consider Along with AB Mosfet needed or not - to each their own as they say If guns cycles quick-ish or is quite responsive, then the chances of releasing trigger too early is greatly reduced imho There are numerous methods & options available when tweaking and choosing a mosfet Think we all have our own preferences which we go with

Fire-Storms ??? was seeing they sold neodym magnets too - but out of stock all the same F-Storm fets I'm impressed with and it takes a lot for me to say that - normally I just pull things apart - literally

This is not a pi$$ take but an amazing inspiration to anybody thinking too old or crap for airsoft... http://blog.airsoft-squared.com/incredible-story-simon-jameson-airsoft-tank yes often I think @ 49 - puff puff pant pant I'm too old for this $hit.... but if that guy gets stuck in then regardless of how old I am I need to stfu and man up a bit - ok old man up a bit btw I was probably the oldest at Mall but my mind was still assuring me I was 30 years younger NO YOU ARE NEVER TOO OLD - I hope if I get that old to just bring a sniper & commode along All of us are just big kids - some much older than others but still kids at heart

Rough sounding on video but last whirr sounds like rolling back..... Anti Reversal latch broke missing or AR spring broke/missing Might be AR latch stuck/not returning or operating correctly, well that is if ya talking about the last whirr bit But sounds like spring half cocked, then rolls backwards If you changed spring, you might have forgotten or lost a bit belonging to AR latch/spring Yes you DO need that fiddly little jump around bastid, wtf did that go now.... Yeah you need the AR latch to operate correctly

Call ya hits Sprint to cover - don't jog Take the lesser travelled path to objective - won't flank or catch enemy if you run straight at them Avoid saying dumb ar$e sayings like - he's behind that tree when in middle of the f*cking woods (no $hit sherlock - which f*cking one, that green & brown one....) Don't eat yellow snow

G&G Raider £123 @ Zero One £3 over budget pick long or short Or G&G Carbine light - but think you would want rails to mount stuff on to make it best gun evvvvaaaaaa (soz - excuse my dumb ar$e-ness) free 2-tone but sold out I'm afraid atm DO NOT BUY FROM $HITE JBBG OR PLACES WITH BB IN THEIR NAMES.... or ICS is another good make: http://www.fire-support.co.uk/product/ics-clear-plastic-m4-commando-airsoft-gun-aeg but a bit more info would help coz AEG £120 means jack you might want an AK or G36 after all these M4 suggestions

Why don't the OP stick around a bit ask Q&A to get real feedback and maybe learn a bit too The answers you seek can be clarified and more knowledge than some yes/no stats crap that very often doesn't properly fit the criteria

Even so, is it not a bit odd there has been a steady increase in this stuff bin just the last week or so since FB went pear shape etc.... I get enough dodgy tax refunds give us your bank account crap and paypal account has been suspended bollox Just coincidence perhaps ???
