big drum mag - sod any pouches for mags man up and run a naked loadout to always feel & call your hits soz being silly - ignore this post as it may contain nuts

£300 ??? I know it its worth a lot more could say £250 but is kinda taking the pi$$ a bit if he wants rid of it quickly and holds little value for most stuff in his very well provided world of his you don't ask you don't get as they say

7.4v is the wise option a B3 type charger will have a mains lead and is a good starter lipo smart charger what you need to ensure is your crane stock's tube size/diameter usually the tubes in the stock will be about 18mm - "maybe" a bit more like 21mm but you need to really check as crane stocks & their capacity/diameter can vary G&G ones are very thin - so make up something - maybe a magic marker or felt tip pen or roll up a bit of paper/card tube and see how it fits in there YOU must check all stuff BEFORE you order the wrong stuff too big length of battery should be ABOUT 125mm max - this is a rough guess btw so please check

Thought Stti were SRC which gets rebranded to HFC and so on & so on.... (well going by the GC (co2) & GG (green gas) 104 & 105's) which TWG will be restocking these soon and their cheap Green Gas mags £13:46 gun & mags about £7:28 http://www.taiwangun.com/en/gas-guns/m92f-m9-heavy-weight-gas-pistol-replica-stti?from=listing&campaign-id=19 http://www.taiwangun.com/en/gas-guns/m92f-m9-vertical-heavy-weight-gas-pistol-stti?from=listing&campaign-id=19 http://www.taiwangun.com/en/gas-pistol-magazines/m9-magazine-stti?from=related&campaign-id=6 OP needs to very closely compare mags in great detail but they might work just remember seeing on airsoft cz site something abould old & newer stti models also some kjw mags "may" be different the blowback mags are deffo different but like I said pay close attention before ordering one heck tbh - wait a week or so when they come in.... order a gun & a couple of mags - less than £30 for gun with a total of 3 mags if they work in the OP's gun great he can have a spare mag or two or if not then at least he has a cheap non blowback pistol with extra mags (better than buying just a couple of mags and they not fit - £6 more and get gun with mag - bargain)

it is something like the stti or KJ Monty posted... they are ever so slightly different to pic under barrel/rail but nigh on same meat different gravy.... what you need to do is take close ups of mags from a few angles coz the lips n stuff are a tad different on some m92 mags

Early Stti SRC HFC m92 non blowback star on mag sounds about right later became the GG104 & GG105 (no thread on later models) that is my guess an early SRC or rebrand m92 ahh sod it I was close - this might be nearly the exact type or model: http://airsoftshop.cz/product_info.php/cPath/385_386/products_id/2051 but if ain't 101% exact look through this list and see what else it might be: http://airsoftshop.cz/index.php/cPath/385_386 Damn it I need to get out more

http://www.airsoft-forums.co.uk/index.php/topic/17294-ians-guide-to-noobism-on-a-tight-budget/ welcome to forum maybe G&G Raider @ £123 with free 2-tone at Zero One atm due to big airsoft event their site/orders are on hold until another week I think A lot of stuff goes out of stock as the "good weather" - pah pi$$ing down with rain and summer holidays with new younger players getting into it stocks will arrive soon but do NOT look at any site with BB in its name - their guns are $HIT and you will regret it - many including myself got taken in thinking their £100 or less guns are good value (they are crap compared to G&G, Cyma, JG, ICS etc....)

Maybe componentshop - Google is ya friend They got lipo's all ready and good service too

Charger is fine head over to hobby king Battery locator type in dimensions of battery Buy from UK or Europe not International Hong Kong Maybe a Zippy Compact 25c BUT comes with Wrong connectors ATM you have small tamiya on gun so you need to ensure you get battery with small tamiya or change connectors - yeah you can look into that stuff later But a quick rough rundown on what battery specs n crap

B3 charger maybe or b6 lipo chargers Get yaself to component shop or hobby king for batteries 7.4v lipo 20c to 25c burst value is what ya want Don't rush n buy with out checking size dimensions

Only reason for no G&G is coz they don't sell G&G at TaiwanGun otherwise....... G&G G&G G&G G&G G&G G&G

mag "might be ok" - some g36's like suppose all guns can work great/crap with certain mags or certain mags work in some guns but $hite in others look at a d-boys MID CAP review: http://gunfire.pl/product-eng-1152194528-Mid-Cap-magazine-for-G36-type-replicas.html mid cap seems ok in JG G36 on there....... you gone for longer G36, but remember to state clearly for them to DOWNGRADE spring (they have been know to forget/miss out so state it very clearly) your order - first order may sit for a while as they will run some checks n stuff in case of paypal or chargebacks GET YOUR ARSE TOGETHER THOUGH Today is I think last day of 10yr celebration - in a nutshell it means 150 Euro for free shipping - usually 300 Euro free ship plus spend 200 Euro n get a back packy fall apart bag for 1 euro cent - robbing bastids said it was free - I want my 1c refund drop battery ffs - it comes with a $hit nimah n even $hittier charger - dump them get a good lipo battery n charger - lucky coz you can use "block" type batteries which in lipo terms means cheaper RC block lipo's than airsoft nunchuck lipo's but move your arse for free shipping n bag stuff mag "should" be worth a gamble - but drop the battery for sure (if spending money on batteries n stuff just go lipo) maybe grab a bag of bb's than a poxy nimah battery usually ya local site sells half decent bb's - but maybe grab a bag of 0.20's from TWG to get ya going for now

I'm that sad this stuff is my new life - everything else is fitting around me seriously - as the world is 25hrs & 8 days a week many of us are finding jobs are not always the 9-5 anymore I've worked nights for 20 -25yrs and the "extra" for unsociable hours has fallen over the last 10yrs overtime & the Sunday "double bubble" is history in many places as companies try to remain competitive (or shaft the workers - depends which way you look at it) Double Day shifts - have now given in to Continental Shifts - that is often brought in and sold to unsuspecting workforce only later they realise they are working every other Saturday for flat rate & most never realised the full implications Still - good luck to all of ya looking for work - kudos to the grafters out there whatever profession you get into (unless you are corporate banker & a complete w@nker)

also means she doesn't have to dip into her "shoes & bags & clothes & lippy" fund it ain't female logic - it's wise wifey common sense

ok here is some info I dug up that might indicate it needs to be a LONG AK nozzle but don't quote me or sue me if I'm wrong..... http://gunfire.pl/product-eng-1152200426-Nozzle-for-the-AK-type-replicas-long.html in comments bit 2 x reviewers wrote: Rate: Author: Ronalds, Riga I bought this nozzle because I read in comments that it fits E&L AK and I can only confirm, that it fits perfectly. Definite by if you have E&L AK. Rate: Author: Kenneth, Oosterzele Good nozzle for good price. Slightly longer than standard AK nozzle. Perfect for E&L replica's. so if that stuff is correct check your nozzle is 20.7 and not 19.6mm - yeah I know it is gonna be tricky if you ain't got digital caliper but at least you might know what type of nozzle "should" be in there.... yup - couple of sites say longer AK nozzle 20.7mm in E&L's and shs might be one to try n tracck down if needed: http://www.clandestineairsoft.com/nozzles-c-1_6_14/shs-aluminum-ak47-oring-nozzle-long-2074mm-p-21.html but you still need to check to operation & correct alignment of hop to box/nozzle etc... jeez I gotta grab some sleep, hope somebody else is up soon to help ya but I gotta get some shut eye sir

check the hop unit is correctly fitted into gearbox nozzle opening the classic paper test would show same results - air pi$$ing out of magwell which should not be happening if nozzle seals against bucking - the lips of the hop up = airtight and flows down barrel not magwell there are different nozzles for all different guns - 2 for AK's short - 19.6mm long - 21.7mm but I doubt if wrong nozzle fitted atm but more info about nozzles n lengths here: http://www.clandestineairsoft.com/nozzles-c-1_6_14/ what you need to do is check all the factors like I said see if tappet plate is moving freely back n forth - no snagging (remove spring from tappet btw and slide tappet back n forth) with box open and tappet+ nozzle fully forward but up hop to half of open box & see if you can "feel" nozzle touching & sealing against bucking see if hop unit is sealing correctly against completed gearbox like I mentioned you need to check all bits involved for any wear or snagging/bad operation did gun ever fire bb's at all - is bad seal something new or was it like this when you bought it ??? sounds like previous owner didn't have a clue - might have broke or fitted old nozzle with a new incorrect one that isn't sealing but you must have a very pi$$ poor seal or big airleak if most air is coming out of magwell instead of barrel if it was shagged cylinder head very little air would be emerging from nozzle but should pass down barrel so something is up with that box/nozzle to hop area btw you can't just shove in a long nozzle where a short nozzle should of been as you will very likely get feeding issues (improved seal but the correct length nozzle is a must - it needs to be just right to allow bb's to feed and also just enough to seal properly) to me at first or second glance head looks ok and nozzle looks undamaged too dunno about the operation of nozzle to hop - you need to investigate this like I said

was typing the bits below but you replied with a results test..... hmmm - firing out of gearbox/nozzle but jack $hit coming out of barrel ???? ok see if you can get gearbox to cycle with nozzle as far forward as possible place hop/barrel against gearbox/nozzle and blow down barrel it should of sealed if piston/nozzle seal is good check hop bucking - could be damaged or torn - just do a visual check than strip it down atm other issues is tappet not moving fully forward or incorrect nozzle fitted as there are 2 types of AK nozzle long n short but tbh I doubt it as it looks like a stock type of nozzle but who knows what the previous owner did the nozzle/tappet plate should move nicely forward n backwards - enough to allow bb to enter and also forward enough to seal against bucking in hop I would check hop unit is seated correctly and bolted together to the main receiver - all aligned correctly loss of compression or fps occurs either in gearbox - piston, cylinder head & nozzle or a poor seal from nozzle to hop unit (well the bucking can leak around barrel plus torn/worn/damaged bucking) often a common bad seal occurs from a poor nozzle to bucking seal is one of the likely issues and can be from worn/damaged/snagging tappet, worn nozzle or wrong nozzle length etc...... atm is seems pi$$ poor seal from nozzle to hop bucking maybe ???? previous essay I was composing about cylinder/piston seals but don't worry too much atm coz your hop ain't getting much air pushing through it atm so check hop to box and if nozzle touches the bucking...... - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Yup you got single o-ring on it.... now pop that in cylinder, probably won't seal that great but wtf.... pop in piston into cylinder - leave nozzle off finger over cylinder head and check compression..... probably a bit crap but see how it compresses best options are new double o-ring cylinder head & perhaps new nozzle but if time is short, parts availability limited you can try the cheapo options..... white ptfe tape - etc... wrapped around cylinder head n jam it in with a bit of grease to help piston o-ring can be stretched - some say lighter but think the safer way is: place piston o-ring around cylinder and drop this in a small dish of boiling water leave to cool, empty & pout in boiling water again - do this about 3 times to help stretch o-ring (using lighter can be a bit more risky) realistically - you should replace stuff with better/new bits n bobs but worth a go....

first pic - does that cylinder head have an o-ring on it in that groove ???? hard to make out but at first glance that should have an o-ring on there to improve seal add a load of ptfe or plumbing tape etc.... otherwise you'd be losing loads of compression and hence seem like a cracked cylinder head ??? can't be sure with head being jet black - looks 50% missing o-ring to me did it nigh on fall out of the cylinder ??? when good piston o-ring seal & cylinder head it only compresses a tiny amount and then feels like solid almost like water is in there or some other liquid rather than air that is difference between a good air seal & a great air seal actually starting to see I think the o-ring - but damn its not very pronounced being jet black is making it hard to see o-ring let alone a cracked head real test is how good it all seals up when compressing the piston in cylinder with head fitted

I've given mine to my better playing son I'm so not worthy of it as I shoot like a blind squealing little girl trapped in an ol' farts body hence I still use the starter guns too.... If I was using a higher end gun I really would have no excuse why I can't hit anything always blame the gun/tools etc..... nah - I friggin' crap at this but wtf I still enjoy it being cannon fodder for pro's ( and rental noobs - jjjeeeeeez I suck)

Gun, bb's, battery, eyepro & a friendly chilled not too stressed out attitude is all ya need rest is optional

new number as it is related to your usual/regular site your old ukara started differently so if ya done ya 3 visits n stuff just ask them to update or issue you with new number no biggy I'm sure loads n loads of peeps have done this over time or when old sites closed etc.... if you are buying something from a UK retailer - you don't HAVE to have ukara details the regged ukara site can just vouch for ya - how I bought my first RIF from ProAirsoft but in the end my site got its ukara finger out and entered me on database a bit later (guy that dealt with admin crap just returned from hols but eventually sorted it all out)

poor bastid - you will end up probably buying more than "just one more gun dear" alas you sound a little like moi - end up keeping most of your stuff (or crap as the other half calls it) thus to attain true hapiness is to say - ahh wtf lets get another to help make my final decision as to which gun I really like..... welcome to the saddo toy gun club

I have a D68 in bits - uhmm no surprise there you may say (no I have stripped it for fitting a proper v3 box like the AK12 but not finished putting box together for it) but a high rof or dsg or hpa b500a1 would be absolute epic to wipe a smug grin off somebody's face/mask I got too much crap n bits around but one day - one day that will have to be done for ultra $hits n giggles

Bloody hell...... Toy Gun holding...... Sharing BB love...... Yoda StormTroopers & Star Wars stuff...... Look guys - I'm with ya on all of this but if our other halves or anybody else from the real world reads this I'm starting to realise how really f*cking sad we all are !!!!!! yup fine by me - carry on chaps

oooouch bit harsh - ya AGGA cow (seriously considering a B500A1 hpa project now to bring to Mall)
