Sitting Duck

Silly daft question - are you 18 & ukara ??? if not then perhaps go easy if 1st gun & 2-tone req but its up to you - if spending that much on first gun then £100 goes quickly if buying goodies mags, batteries, boots, eye protection, some basic old clobber to wear very little room for say secondary if req or a possible cheap spare - though not a must heck - you may find it ain't for you or not quite addictive as you first thought (doubt it though) but its completely up to owner what they do & buy with their money

not splitting hairs - so please don't flame me OP said need license to own RIF - not if gifted you could say but yup to import like OP is thinking uhm yes is the general correct answer - get ukara Bloomin' hate these ukara related posts coz most people know the answer and often there are a few grey areas that can been seen as a little unclear or may not fully apply to the usual regulations, causing differences in general and for ease of everything - get UKARA it is best license you will never own soz in advance and if I have got wrong yet again then light me up

politely - if possible if a discussion is starting to get little heated, always best to pm your feelings rather than 8itch and have ego's dented etc..... and say cheers for them taking time to message/reply to you (unless you are calling each every name under sun then that is fine coz ya both already rude)

yeah mine is 350 - end of if marshall sees just - and I mean just over say 352-353 - nope I can't allow it if chrono shows over 350 (said about adjust hop to squeeze it under but gave up on hot crappy dragon) G36c screw though - well it seemed to be hit n miss when I tried it - if it was doing much at all but if just a teensy bit over then peeps could try leaving gun cocked overnight if that failed to "bed in" the spring then if it still was a tiny tiny bit over then correct AOE with sorbo that should lose a touch more (and be running better) if still no joy or if it was way over then spring change would be needed Only mentioned it coz it was supposed to help tweak fps a little but found it did next to FA for me (in fact it seemed to go up slightly whatever way I turned it - didn't crank it too much but 1 turn clock & then 2 turns counter clock made FA) getting a warm gun don't bother me too much as most could do with a check/tweak - though in my case check/break/damn it

yeah basically what has been said - it "could" get seized and you have little argument if no defense whatever people may think of UKARA it does simplify buying RIF's like in this matter there is no real license as such - just you on a database of saddo's that play with toy guns (in a figure of speech - no offense to rest of us)

strongly advise getting UKARA for this then it won't be seized by customs etc.... There are other forms of defense but in general UKARA is a straight forward way of checking by retailers ( UK EU US & others ) They know each countries regulations and most are not willing to dodge or attempt to dodge them rules etc.... So to avoid it being seized by authorities and/or sale being cancelled I'd say just get UKARA like the rest of us

http://www.taiwangun.com/en/608-jg?from=listing&campaign-id=19 6th pic along shows folded stock - allen key tweak spring guide yeah well made next to no difference when I tried it on a 365/370fps one (back in box - another one to look at - damn list is getting long now)

gave in & bought 2 x CM122 pistols on offer at Gunfire @ 40Euro or about £32 each that a47 was blue and after sanding (fairy ain't shifting that amount of paint) it came out with a sort of light faded or aged look - still plastic but smooth as a baby's ar$e coat of varnish to finish and she will do me - still got a touch of blue on bottom of stock (looks better/darker is wiped with damp cloth hence a coat of varnish will be sweet) pic may appear bluey in places on some parts of stock but trust me it ain't like that at all - no sirs (seriously was on an OCD mission to get every possible bit off - took hand guard off too & de-blued the holes etc..) wasn't too bad really - heavy/medium/fine sandpaper & a bit of elbow grease

New JG36c's are supposed to have a grub screw or something at back to tweak spring / fps (well tiny screw seemed to do FA for me so will no doubt have to tone mine down too)

yup JG G36c - perfect cqb & short/midrange aeg 3 makes - 3 types, there are others but think that is what most may use (or have in their collection - you won't go wrong with either)

G&G M4's for most people - M4's are perhaps most ergonomic for many Cyma AK's if you want something a bit different to not "follow the heard" buy cheaper stuff from any place with BB in its name and you will regret it (many - me included have made that nooby mistake)

Think a lot of APS problems is down to switch/trigger problems the trigger itself has a slightly longer "lug" than most others (talking about APS M4 trigger btw - not got a APS v3 box yet) my own M4 APS is fine on auto but a little iffy on semi sometimes - common problem but fixable shame coz APS quick change box is very nice but needs improving on trigger switch area (google it but I will sort it properly on next overhaul - poxy f**king switch) CYMA are to AK's what G&G are to M4's - they are very good even the cheaper models are decent £ for £ even out the box they perform well compared to other makes only got cheap 28a but very happy (I like easy battery change in stock) can't comment on others makes but very pleased with my Cyma AK's (& G&G M4's)

glad you made it back in one piece and had a blast shame the gas stuff wasn't working properly but sounds like they were a great crowd Think the first time at new site is the often most memorable & finding ya feet AEG & hi-caps if you like sounding like the maraca's sounds or 120-190 mid caps for quieter kills with less chance of dry-fire if you forget to wind (oh yeah - got owned numerous times from dry fire - blame mag not me forgetting to wind it) if you really get into it then maybe 2 similar mid range guns - guns WILL let you down so spare and it being compatible with your usual mags makes sense. But from sounds of it they are a great bunch and will help ya out if stuck. (which really helps - no matter how good/bad site is, it is the people that really help make it worth returning to)

cqb's - they are a bit more trickier/expensive to find/run bit of woodland not too bad, but trying to source a moderate size ground with buildings at a cheap price not so easy to get hold of... yup a number of old warehouse/factories/offices lying around you may think but very often the owner/landlord won't commit or let us lot rent it cheap, shoot it up etc.... They wanna leave it vacant, not commit to a cheapy rental agreement and sell it or knock down to develop My local site has been looking for a replacement after they lost their old school urban site But round here - South London/Surrey is a lot harder to come by - old field/woods in Surrey ok but they have had very little luck getting a possible cqb site going again

for what it is worth & pasted from the site: A&K Dragunov A spring clone of more expensive manufacturers. They utilise a quick spring change mechanism to change FPS in a matter of minutes. This rifle uses AEG springs. These have distinctive Blue aluminium pistons. The hops are a good design but reports suggest the range is lacking. We have introduced a new improved hop unit along with other upgrades available from our webstore, see: http://www.airsoftsniperparts.com/apps/webstore/products/category/639221?page=1 ASG Concern Izhmash Dragunov SVD aka ARES Dragunov SVD - yes ARES had them branded in the first release! These share the same piston as the A&K version however the hop units are not. The trigger sear is also compatible with the A&K version but you'll need to drill a small hole underneath for a spring to slot in. http://www.airsoftsniperparts.com/apps/webstore/products/show/2657310 it says it may not fit - there may have been a change the hop page says I have a ASG & an AEG SVD and one new hop from Gunfire so it should fit one of them but not fitted it yet - need to do a few bit swap arounds as I got a longer 650 barrel to go in bolt (then nick the 590 barrel for a L85 DMR I'm thinking of doing - more projects so little time) end of day you "may" be able to fit it but if not it is not end of world the SVD is a very good buget sniper anyway and even if you can't achieve absolute top of the max possible range it is still more accurate than many other guns for the money there are 2 types of mags though - cyma svd's use a slightly different mag that is the only thing to watch out for I think the normal svd can just use normal AK mags in there - up to 1,000 bb's !!!! wow best get the cocking lever then coz ya little pinky's will hurt by then soz I can't give a deffo 101% answer if they have changed stuff recently but still not end of world I reckon

Or running his own cqb site with all them Galaxy's + other MP5's

good bit of info there - some of it for me remember too still don't know all the names of nooks & crannies & points at my local Hopefully any snipers will know MED etc... hope he has a good time coz I think we may have ended up scaring the crap out of him - but he did ask

Snipers would be one thing you will encounter Tripping ar$e over tit as you navigate maybe the less direct route to objective maybe more non-hit takers and people learn their guns aren't as long range as they thought Become a tree hugger - nigh on your main cover so peek left as well as right & high/low - they will be learn to communicate - quietly/signals but if you do break silence remember: "he's behind that tree" is not very informative but "behind tree @ 11o'clock" is better (if I had a £1 for the above line I could pay for my walk on fees) watch & learn from the regulars/pro's especially when you first arrive if things are not working out by lunchtime then maybe suggest a change of plan but the regs will maybe have an idea on what works & what don't (a proper team or a few organised squads are much more effective than 25 lone wolfs) Above all call ya hits, don't get stressed and just enjoy it

I'm nearly speechless for once - absolutely sickened by it "justice" would be too good for them c**ts soz but that is all I will say except my sympathy for the families left devastated & shattered by all of this

this MIGHT fit but YOU need to check and do your homework a bit coz some stock tubes have thicker/thinner walls (sounds crap but cheaper makes can have less metal used and so can fit a slightly thicker battery in tube) You - need to check/measure it all out but THINK this size fits in a FireHawk VS02 stock tube http://www.componentshop.co.uk/7-4v-1300mah-20c-continuous-discharge-lipo-battery-136mm-long.html please ffs double / triple check all dimensions - no point getting a battery that you can't fit

thank you for info.... realise that the box is a bit odd/unique but think it uses long motor type maybe normal bevel gear etc but extra teeth on sector/piston but if doing a 600mm will need most teeth on the 85/sr25 piston and full cylinder to get volume/ratio if I do a shorter one then normal 15 should be ok for a 400/450 barrel stock R85 cylinder I think is ported so have ordered a couple of full cylinders & set of 85/25 gears yeah gonna be yet another learning curve but at least it keeps it interesting

Mid caps are great if you get some good ones certainly beats the more "musical" high caps get a few of ya running around and just sounds like a mexican/latin/spanish maracas quartet yeah put on some samba de amigo and shake it baby: http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/9/91/SambaDeAmigo.jpg

indeed - in fact my credit card screams at me to slow down springs though are very varied - I have gotta finish a crappy cheapo plastic M4 spring tester basically an old plastic M4 front wired QD quick change spring box with hole in back of receiver then I can quickly check some old springs out and keep/bin them and have a rough idea... Then with findings of old/new springs I can see what I expect to achieve if using them on my next build think most are too lame to bother with but would be good to get a "rough" idea of what to expect yet another bloody thing to finish off - then I buy something else and forget what I started last week

my noob findings atm..... use silent piston head without a "proper" ASG or ultimate cylinder head and you will probably lose a bit but did use one with proper Ultimate head and got very good results Alas I put in a m115 spring + AOE and got 390/395 - oops so need to put in SHS m100 or usual Element m105 (not m115 - dooohhhhhh) but think 395 was good from m115 did get 340 from m105 without "proper" cylinder and doing AOE etc..... these are the only 2 silent heads I have fitted so far so results are a little mixed and not 101% accurate with fitting m115 so my own noobish views are still a little unclear on them but think unless you fit proper stuff on there you may lose a bit Ultimate coloured heads deffo do seem better than other brass types like Element ones Thing is it is still a little bit of guessing game as no 2 builds are quite exactly the same - even on same gun/model cylinder type/port, barrel to cylinder ratio, some springs are stronger than others so the mXXX can vary a lot on other makes sorry can't give you a deffo yes/no but think they might drop it slightly unless you pair it with proper cyl head or you are than bloody good at building box's with complete zero air loss all over cylinder port should be about 3/4 aprox but even then some descriptions are a bit off I would call some cylinders with 1/2 way porting more like 3/4 type porting or some ports are so tiny & right at end you wonder if they really doing much so with this crap I just posted you can only try it n see - AOE will reduce, silent possible reduction too if just over then maybe leave spring cocked overnight to "bed in" or lose a bit like most springs do over time I'm sure your builds are much much more efficient than my humble ones - soz I can't give a deffo 101% answer (actually I probably made this post more confusing now like most stuff I type) If you buy the "proper" Ultimate or ASG/Lonex stuff then £25 and end of day it ain't silent, only a slightly slightly slightly quieter "thud" that was all, if box is a bit schreechy or noisy then the silent factor means very little anyway Well I ain't gonna buy & replace them in all my builds - most stock stuff works perfectly fine when AOE & seals sorted which is what I have read on some techy sites and now am finding its true - if I shim/grease/aoe/seals etc.. properly think Samurai said cyma's may have a decent 6.04 barrel in their AK's anyway so your AK may not need much spent on it just the usual service/tweak on box and possible spring change if really needed but AOE will drop it M90 hitting 340 though - wow that is very efficient but some springs like guarder used to rate on .25's a while back so it can get even more confusing with spring ratings in some setups etc..... Most aeg gunsmiths will often stick to certain brands of upgrades as they know what to expect in their builds where is the ultra fit Ian AK guy when you need him - not seen him recently but think he would know about it all
