G&G SR-? range is getting good reviews revamped CM receiver with a 3rnd burst mosfet in there (still polymer receiver but without the vivid CM logo) a lot of places have sold out due to popularity and the new range being launched (think this was the 2nd shipment most places got in at Z1 LWA etc.... - these normally get the first batches of G&G's) but a lot of places have also sold out it seems eg: airsoftworld.net and others. I'd maybe get skirmishing and hire until you get ukara'd if you are 18+ yes you can get a 2-tone but that to me is ok on a budget CM Raider say but if you are buying a nicer looking gun it would be wise to get it as a RIF once you are ukara'd than try to mess about removing 2-tone etc..... by then they will be in stock and be a lovely starter RIF to run with

reading the review think they are 8mm bushings the hop is ak type but nub is built into arm ??? might be able to partially replace bits of it - arm to accept a normal seperate nub but think the hop is adjustable from both sides unlike ak one just right side first uar's had battery up front when they first came out but later changed to rear wired plastic spring guide should be ok as long as you don't run crazy springs (might be able to fit a ver 3 with the "lugs" cut down to clear/enter box but you need to turn/lock guide into place under spring tension) if you bought the broken one this week that wasn't a bad buy with all them mags magwell is short n stubby and don't like the normal mags - even magwell mod can be tricky as the mags have less magwell walls supporting them but if you did get that one on here it is worth it with all them mags (was looking but gotta stop buying & get fixing guns - lol) nice gun - little qwerky but a nice change from the usual everybody hasthat "m4 ak g36 mp5" club

spring guide - very likely bespoke cylinder head - normal v2/3 head double o-ring should be fine but not the mega long ak or g36 type suggest a better plastic pom/nylon piston head if wanting to go faster or maybe a double o-ring ali one - but this would be the only ali one I'd use (make absolute sure you use loctite thread lock of piston bearing - often I don't fit them myself but if you do threadlock or it WILL come undone) piston - anything will do if stock piston is looking chewed up could go for an all metal rack plastic piston coz the uar is not a very very quick firing gun in its standard form more detailed stuff here: http://www.booliganairsoft.com/2013/03/aps-uar-urban-assault-rifle-aeg.html

Well they won't get nicked that's for sure reckon each bean bag could weigh about 20kg each reason why their mainly filled with polystyrene (bean bags not bulldog 0.12's)

G&G Raider, or CM18 or others... zero one free 2-tone if not ukara blah blah blah read: http://www.airsoft-forums.co.uk/index.php/topic/17294-ians-guide-to-noobism-on-a-tight-budget/

I don't "think" it matters coz they do lose charge on their own dunno ig google or anybody would know the absolute correct answer but they deffo lose charge anyway I found - even new ones I bought with first gun

JBBG have been doing this for yonks BullDog aka BULL$HIT bb's actually they wasn't that bad - worst ones so far been BBGuns4Less - FireBall 0.25's f*ck me they are dire eggs shape crap think 1 in 3 or 4 fire really short (if TriggerHappy says it coz of G&G - pi$$ off ) WOOOOHOOOOOO my 2,000th post of utter $hite (damn I wish I wasn't outbidded on the "Get a Life" fleabay auction yesterday) Maybe if you had designed a fancy new CQB site You could make the floor slightly sloped with a gulley for them to run/collect into making it easier to clear up/recycle and keep the corridors main paths free of bb's Reality this would require a lot of careful planning/costs into a decent indoor arena site Alas most sites can't afford this much planning/budget as well as time to construct a false floor No doubt though there must be $hitloads of bb's need clearing after each player has fired off say 2k heck even 1k for semi only indoor cqb say - 2 teams of 20 = 40k + that is a lot of bb's rolling around and will need tidying up where do there go...... The Trimex recycling plant of course
-
Don't bother trying to store them charged To me they always seemed to lose charge in storage But that is normal I think.... Lipo's can't be allowed to drop too low or they crap out if they deplete too much (Think its below 3v they start to screw up a bit but don't quote me) Use nimah's n charge the night before Replace as n when with lipo is what most of us have done now

Spoon Feeding is one thing BUT I ain't f*ckin' BREAST FEEDING - no thanks (normally I'd post a daft silly pic but this thread is designed for short n simple answers - very difficult for me to comply with btw)

Check your previous posts I have tried to help you a couple of times

This guy also thought it was a typo too... Iwas gonna post a pic of Jimmy Krankie but it was getting a little confusing plus I didn't want to offend anybody North of the border.....

well if any mofo's can measure the bloomin' thing then pop along to hobbyking's - Battery Locator: http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/lithium_polymer_battery_configuration.asp bung in dimensions of the 350mah 7.4v lipo - dunno the burst or the actual sizes (you rich bastid's have your moment to shine here) BUT - this sort of stuff might get you out of $hit http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/uh_viewItem.asp?idProduct=32170 NB: I AIN'T SAYING THE ABOVE BATTERY IS EXACT ONE TO FIT BUT JUST DUG UP SOMETHING if you get dimensions then you might be able to source something as per usual - it is up to potential buyer to double - triple check all dimensions n crap are within tolerances etc do not shoot the duck Or try to make up a dummy block size to enable you to work out the aprox dimensions off-cut of wood, rolled up cardboard taped together, couple of chewing gum packs, kitkat bar(s) etc.... almost anything to help suss out what dimensions you might have to work with.... drop a couple of mm off each max dimension to allow for give n take plus wires etc.... bang in the dimensions and see what comes up....
-
should use a large nimah 8.4v battery but with a small tamiya by default (unless the small tamiya has been replaced) say 150mm x 45mm x 25mm at a guess YOU really need to check out the max battery size yourself then weigh up what your options are (probably 7.4v 25/30c lipo tbh)
-
Absolute agree - if he has one to hand or arriving soon Think Ian's idea of slightly lower spring and add spacer/washers if needed is best Was just saying if he rips her open to consider cutting coil(s) might be worth a check/try spring in reverse & may drop fps (later on if spring loses tension refit spring correctly etc....) But yes correct spring is best option if available

Some guidance please regarding a sale
Sitting Duck replied to Hef Legend's topic in General Discussion
pulling the reply to pieces: So it was feeding/working when he received it So now the motor spins but no firing action - hmmm gears mashed up or likely piston's pick up tooth snapped off but this happened AT THE SHOP or with the TECH GUY "testing it" OK - it might have not liked some mags - but that isn't uncommon it did feed with other mags he bought from your recommendation - 20 mins maybe is a bit weird & short lived ???? but did feed it clearly states in black n white Secondly the gun was still cycling at the shop but then stopped a few shots later ??? I'm wondering was the guy going nutz on 11.1v 35c lipo with a higher speed motor or something Gun went tits up - but was working at first...... Furthermore the motor problem height: & OK a minor tweak on motor height maybe perhaps from transit - but it is all starting to add up to there is more to this than he the buyer is letting on imho Have read this over at Zero In Forum and they are all singing from the same page too 7 weeks wait and it don't sound 101% correct 2 lots of forums saying the same stuff - gotta love this quote from Z1 tackle though: Yes you could tell him where to go, or maybe offer a few spares n stuff you might have to hand but first off the buyer needs to be a little more honest perhaps or accept too much time may have passed and therefore $hit happens with anything second hand hope you get it resolved reasonably ok without the stone cold harshness of F*CK OFF -
Gotta admit them AK's do have the slight edge over G&G CM M4's (Ian n others smile) just I do find M4's a little more ergonomic for me to use

Sitting Duck replied to Hef Legend's topic in General Discussion
Think you should offer him your p* in compensation or at very least send him a Satan aeg motor to cure the feed issues seriously - it is 99% mag related and double feeding most of this "double feeding" is not double but mis feeding bb doesn't fully load/fire 1 bb but partially loads and then the next bb plops in there behind it eg: 1 - 1 - 0 - 2 -1 - 1 - 0 - 2 etc.... mags and maybe hop unit - but gearbox/motor ??? - nahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh -

ABSOLUTE BOLLOCKS Distance of goods crap is something like: quoted from here: http://www.which.co.uk/consumer-rights/regulation/distance-selling-regulations Your right to cancel an order The Distance Selling Regulations state that your right to cancel an order starts the moment you place your order and doesn’t end until seven working days from the day after you receive your goods. This is the minimum consumers must be given and many sellers choose to exceed this, so always check the terms and conditions in case you have longer to return your items. As this seven-day working period is the time you have to decide whether to cancel, by law the seller can’t say that you must have returned the goods within this time frame. Confirmation of your cancellation should be sent by email, letter or fax. I had this $hit once in particular on ebay from some clown who contacted me 19 days later what a w@nker he was trying it on ffs (zero feedback - new member that you can't block now on ebay) thought then he was trying it on to return another broken item that wasn't mine or had a change of heart - but most likely saying it was faulty suffice to say I no longer sell stuff on ebay you are trying to help the guy with offer of bits n bobs but he has had his chance if this was first contact and that store is trying it on even more than my ebay friendly buyer - who are they JBBG ffs ??? -
Any updates on how Murphy is getting on ??? did she fire bridging 4+5 or did it start a lipo bbq ???

Cyma's are good and TWG are probably one of best places to get 028's from (or higher end ones) dont get the slightly cheaper even more plastic cyma/spartac rebranded ones springs will need to be downgraded for UK (free from Gunfire/TaiwanGun) but as Lozart just pointed out you will need ukara

welcome sir I STRONGLY advise you to consider giving this a read: http://www.airsoft-forums.co.uk/index.php/topic/17294-ians-guide-to-noobism-on-a-tight-budget/ as it will save us SOO much time almost any gun will do but don't decide on just one gun type when there are the common ak m4 g36 + some others read up a little - watch a few vids maybe to see if you wanna have a go skirmishing or just plink in ya garden pop along for a day & rent a gun at a site to truely test the water first and see for yourself players guns n crap Don't get me wrong I love to wipe n feed people, but feel you need to do a little bit more research before I'll just say get a Cyma - damn it I'm doing it all again..... seriously - have a little read up first please - a LOT of answers are in some of them guides and a load more answers to questions you haven't thought of yet are in there too http://www.airsoft-forums.co.uk/index.php/topic/12854-new-player-guides-info/ welcome to the world of big boy toy guns, just avoid jumping in and buying crap from sites with BB in their names (my only quest in life is to limit how rich JambWow gets from new players taking up the sport - wish somebody stopped me making same mistakes)

Daft reply & I presume it is a bolt action sniper (so short stroke won't work here duck) But on the odd chance that the spring might be irregular type - fit it ar$e about face ? (heck if spring change is easy peasy - it "might" be worth a short anyway "just in case") I know in aeg's fitting a spring ar$e about face can result in a drop of expected fps
-
back in the good ol' days when cars n stuff could be "fixed" or at a push bodged to get ya home now it is a case of - ahh the swively up nut pcb is boned - that is £500 please wtf - can't you just replaced that iddy biddy thingy majig ??? sorry m8 - it is a whole new unit - it is how they come now jeeez back back on topic glad it was 4.5 days & not 45 days delivery yes the B3 is a kinda trickle charger but will get you going and ya feet wet using lipo's imho anybody who buys new nimah's instead of lipo's needs their head or wallet tested OK if somebody is selling off some good cheapish ones but sod buying new nimah's next thing to look at is dropping tamiya to deans or T connections - but like most stuff do it in stages get 'em charged and get shooting for now

New to the site - sniper not for new players
Sitting Duck replied to JohnDMarshall's topic in New Players & Arrivals
Yup 48yrs young, smoker so I fully understand about fitness etc.... First thing forget ya K D bollox I'll gladly let the younger lot go sprinting off all guns ablazing I'll hold base, or try a sneaky road less travelled route to get a few kills before I'm taken out Failing that I'll go for a decoy or diversion mode of play Hopefully my younger or the more professional players will seize the moment to gain ground whilst my hairy ol'ar$e is being shot to bits..... I know I'm never gonna own or dominate but I play for fun or $hits n giggles that is all.... By all means go for a sniper role, but you can have a great time if you don't take it all too serious and try to play above your level and be something you are not. No offense meant, give it a go but by all means try a few different styles of play without the stress if you succeed or not. You could very well make a good sniper but above all don't get too stressed if things don't always work out. Learn your own strengths n weaknesses but above all enjoy being an unfit saddo with you guns Well it works for me
