@Rogerborgany wiring that was left in the gun was basically removed. Those VFC mosfets are known to burn out like this one did so i removed all of the wiring and replaced broken trigger micro switch with new one and soldered in Perun ab++ which works much better. Also that hop unit wiring and the small spring inside hop unit together with that small chip were removed. I pretty much fixed all known feeding, fps or reliabity issues with the aeg and it works much better then i expected.

I wonder why VFC spacked it up so badly in the first place?

It's a gun that we all wanted to love, but it feels like they did everything they could to overcomplicate it to the point where failure was inevitable.

@Rogerborgthey love to overdo things as always. For example the main board that trigger micro switch, and hop unit bb detect feature connects to is attached by 1 screw to the gearbox shell, that 1 screw is all that gives any kind of rigidity to the board and honestly its a bad design as i barely bent mine and it broke off. They must of had few or tens of mp7's pass qc test so they continued on manufacturing but somewhere along the line something went wrong. At least they hop design actually lifts bb's up to max of  45+ metres from what i tested with such a short barrel. But I might replace it in a future together with bucking and nub. But from all the work I've done to the mp7 it's now reliable and can easily use 11.1v lipo with programmable mosfet which comes in handy, since I mainly use semi and 2rd burst on my aeg's.

@Lozartalready seen that and its longer then sa58 barrel is, so it wont work. I contacted that shop in the past asking for details and found out its much longer then i could fit

@Lozartwish i could find m4 stock adapter for it there is one from Czech republic but doesn't ship to uk sadly.

I am looking into getting SA58/JG 3000 and I cannot find one either used or new anywhere in UK in stock. I asked on forums, Discord groups, etc. So this is why I am asking about gunfire as they have it in stock and have replied to my email saying they ship to UK but I just wonder how much will Custom's charge me for importing it.

Generally add in 20% and that will cover you. (plus the parcel force bumming fee)

@matas17 generally you pay VAT 20% plus import duty which is 3-5% depending on what customs classify the item as, some say toy, some sporting goods.  You pay tax and duty on the shipping fee as well.  Then you also pay a courier handling charge which is anything from £8 to £15.

Funny you should say that I've recently fallen out of love with my TM recoils as well (bar my 74su) and had a hard-on for old school AK’s . In the past 8/9mths ? I’ve bought 4 and fitted as much real wood and genuine AK parts to all of them as I can find .

@Druid799How is it out of a box, I wonder what the internals are and if for example pistol is plastic and doesn't have steel teeth, etc. Also how is trigger response, fire rate and the range on it?

To be honest nothing jumps out from memory (sold it last yr)as being good or bad about it . Just remember it being bloody good fun ! ?

Fire Support & Kingdom of Airsoft have had the Maple Airsoft springs in the past. Perhaps email them and ask if they are getting a restock anytime soon? 

Top half not awful, bottom half no chance.

@SteveoceeI wonder if feeding nozzle and blowback housing are compatible and slide catch

@matas17 shoudl be as slides between the 2 are interchangable.

@Trixxeo Need to find someone who would be willing to print it for me. since im sure youre busy

afraid my printers are going nearly 247 for mostly personal stuff. got half an ak front end going on them atm! issue is I use the least desirable filament to most. that being PLA+. its prints the best and gives nice smooth models, but isn't very heat resilient. 60c and it softens. 

best for a gun body would be ABS. way stronger with a way higher melting point. this time of year your talking about very well heated rooms (30c+) or complete printer enclosures. ABS also loves to warp. nothing like a 20 hour print that fails near the end because the corner starts to curl up!

@Trixxeoheat wouldn#t be a problem to me as i mostly run my aeg's on semi only and i wouldnt even print pistol grip that is included and would use my own

is this what you're after?

Ive never put anything on my parcels only time any one finds out anything is if the postie asks then I say it’s one of those toy BB guns , never had a problem.

Got parcel from NI the other day with ParcelForce48, no issues whatsoever. Sender didn't write anything on it.

PF sports equipment.Never write on the outside but if the post office asks.

@ShamalI rather pay little bit less since i don't have a job atm and income is limited.

Ok.hope someone can help.?

You wont be able to get them separate brand new. unless you go for the upgrade part which is more expensive. 

You can get them from WGCShop for £17 shipped.

@Cr0-Magnonbeen on a phone for 40min with HMRC and they are contacting customs on my behalf to get that sorted and I also gone send out the notice of claim to them tomorrow.

Something to be absolutely clear on: until the goods are in your hands, they are the property and the responsibility of the seller. That's not your rail that's been seized, it's theirs.  It's been seized because of their decision to mis-declare it. It's their responsibility, not yours, to get it into your hands.

So I'd get on to them and tell them you'll be needing them to do that, or to refund you in full and immediately.

When they inevitably refuse and lie to you about it being your problem, or simply ignore you, then initiate a chargeback via your payment processor.  No need to get into the details with them, just "ordered, not received, seller is refusing to resolve, money back please".  Consumer forums have information on how to do a chargeback, including on debit cards, not just credit cards.

Do this in parallel.  It's better for you to have the rail and your money, than neither.

This is not your fault, it's theirs.

@Rogerborg sent out letter to Border Force with request to get my rail and atm in talks with a seller to get my money back. Funny how the seller is so unprofessional and said "Customs is not my problem" like wtf but he declared it wrong not me.

My z-tac sordins (and many others) are a bit shit. Mine turn off with a slight bump/knock. I can't comment on earmor but at the same time I've read enough not to bother and instead going with a set of howard leight impact sport with audio running from a shoulder mic. I have heard better things  (but not a great deal) about the FMA RAC helmet-mounted headset, but that is nearly £100. 

I have a set of earmors and they're fine. For helmet mounting ditch the ones that come with it and get a set of FMA FARA mounts (or splash the cash and get the actual Unity ones).

Yeah, found this out the hard way last night. Know what the deal is? The update was just saying "recognizing" and seemed to go back to standard V2 gearbox as default (rather than NGRS). Now it's completely dead. 

@Cr0-Magnon contact Gate on facebook or by email to sort that out. But mine worked when i downloaded "Gate Control Station" not "Gate Control Station for TITAN with GBU" but the first download and then i installed beta software for titan. But gate sent me some beta software via email for me to be able to sort that out but that might work for you.

Probably best to send an email to Eagle6 or Camoraids.

For that kind of money, Id do a monetary-backed trade. Essentially, you both buy each others guns. Paypal protection is in place, and everyones happy. Only real downside is that high value items sometimes can't be afforded by one or both sides.
