Ok, issue one fixed. The lip on the tappet plate had worn off, so that's been replaced. Now, I still think my problem is a too short cylinder head. Looking down the feeding tube with a BB loaded shows the nozzle only extending 1/2 way across the feeding tube. Therefore I think the extra length is the solution, but I'll wait for your I put before I buy anything else. And no, pics aren't gonna happen; the hole is too small and dark to get a pic that shows anything, I tried.

OK, another update. I got my new cylinder (short), and installed it. It still has the same problem. could be that its the wrong type, but maybe not. I measured the nozzle (the plastic cover I didn't ID in the previous pictures), and when fully in it is 5mm long; when extended, 7mm. This was a warning sign straight away, as it needs to move 6mm to allow a BB to enter, and then slide forward to forma seal (please, correct me if im wrong). Does this help ID my problem? Do I need a new air nozzle instead of a cylinder head, or are the two related?

Hello guys, I recently moved to the U.S., and I wish to bring my Airsoft guns back with me when I visit over Christmas. In order to get through customs with no issues, I want to get Orange tips for the guns I am bringing over. These are: an M4, a Tar-21, a PPSH, an mp7, and a we g17. The tar and m4 I am not worried about; those are easy to get. The others though... If I have to leave the g17 that's fine, I already have one here, but I really need the others. So if you know where I can get ahold of any of these, great. If you have any of these guns and still have the Orange tips, please, can I have them? I'll send a few £s your way for the trouble. Thanks, Spaz

I'm sad I had to leave The Mall behind, I'm ruined for CQB forever now . I will still wear my AFUK patches here in the U.S., and over Christmas I'll be back (no genesis reference). Trigger, we may need a redo of your friendly little game... . I've gotten a few new tricks up my sleeve that enemies may not appreciate.

I have no idea. Was just looking for a rough estimate. Anyway, very little chance i could afford it, as I am a college student. Maybe I'll have to look at some trades...

Hello, So a guy I know (who is one of those kids whose parent buy them whatever they want) who felt the need to get the biggest, baddest Airsoft setup, which was essentially a P* M4. Now he wants to sell it. This is what's included: This is what he said about his polar star: It's never been used in a game and maybe 500 rounds through it, 4500 tank, spiral and straight hose, amp air regulator and it has a body with it. My question is this: should I go for this, and if so, what should I offer? Keep in mind this guy has no Airsoft knowledge, so I can maybe get it rather cheap (I so hope). Thanks, Spaz

Second that fpg, also the vector and whoever was running around with an ACOGed Barrett

I've already got a new head coming, in a few days when it arrives I'll open her up again and see how that works.

More possibly helpful information. I put it back together to dry fire it to ID issues. It seems, when fired with no mag, no air comes out the barrel. However, it does come out the hole that lines up with the mag that BBs go into to (bottom of hop). Any ideas why?

Better pic. It has a little sleeve that goes over it, I've removed that for clarity

Ok guys. Opened her up, found a lot of stock grease, and nothing obviously wrong... The guy I got it from says it's the cylinder head, so I've attached some pics of it. It is black and plastic, but there's nothing obviously wrong to my untrained eye. Feel free to request more pics of different parts; I have till tomorrow around noon to keep her open, then she's off to Uni with me, working or not. Come on you AK guys, I know yall know what you are doing 😊

Echo one mini gun . But seriously, my Stoner 99 LMG, my S&T PPSH, my TM MP7, and my E&L AK have all been sources of awe for others. I took my AK out at the shop and the tech guy whistled

Alright, will do

Ok, not really relevant, but it is a good idea; I've often misseated my AK mags on reloads, so thanks for that. Now on to more questions. 1: I have heard E&L AKs have a plastic slider hop. Others sometimes say this is unreliable, as the slider can move around and screw up your set hop. Should I replace this, and what are some recommendations. 2: what battery should I use? I currently have only a single stick 8.4V 1600MaH battery to split between my Stoner 99 and my AKS. I used 9.4V 1600MaH nunchucks mostly in the UK, but these two guns require sticks. I have never used LiPos, but am not opposed to them. 3: I talked to the shop, which would charge me about £89 to open the AK's gearbox up and replace the cylinder head. So Im doing it myself now . How will I know if this is my issue, and if it is what do yall reccomebdations as a replacement? 4: Anything else? Reccomendations are welcome. Again, I'm not a huge techy, so nothing too advanced please. Also, I am on a college student's budget, so nothing super expensive (yes, I know, I want to P* everything too...). Thanks

They were $280 for the Stoner, which had only about 100 rounds through it; there was one on AFUK for around £300. The AK was a real steal for about $160, as it needs a new cylinder head and the guy who had it had zero tech experience. So yea, it's going well

My US collection AMX Stoner 99 LMG with Eotech 552 and Xcortech system E&L AKS 74 Budget M4 with Rogers quick attachment sight mount, SPARC RDS, Rogers dual magazine holder, Safariland torch, Rogers Super Stoc, and Rogers Single Point sling. WE G17 with Archives Carved frame, WEI-Tech slide and barrel, Angel Custom Recoil Bar, and custom made internals S-Thunder Grenade launcher Pretty good for now

Hello guys, As one of my first US Airsoft purchases, I bought an E&L AKS 74. It was a broken gun, but only beeded a new cylinder head, and was a fraction of the price of a new one, so I'm happy with that. One thing I have noticed, however, it that it has a plastic slider for the hop up adjustment... I have heard that these are quite unreliable, and I was wondering if I should get the hop replaced as well as the cylinder repaired. Thanks, Spaz

I did not. I was going to a UK university but had applied to FIT as a long shot. About a week ago I got accepted (after I was already in the US for my annual summer trip) to FIT, and it's been hectic ever since. I will get my guns over eventually, but I'm surey parents won't be willing to ship them until my first report card in December. So until then I have to make do. The Stoner is a little present to myself as I have wanted a LMG for awhile but never had the money in the UK, and my site was The Mall, which is mostly single shot anyway, so a box mag is pointless. But not here. The AK was something I picked up cheap as it has a broken air nozzle in the gearbox, which is an easy and cheap fix. And I have always wanted a wood and steel ak. I don't actually work for Rogers, although I am a likly candidate to own the shooting school once Mr Rogers retires. What I was doing this summer was working with one of their graphic designers as well as advertising to local Airsoft shops about their products, and getting Rogers into using Airsoft weapons as cheap alternatives to the expensive "blue" guns they have to use to display products.

I wouldn't say that... They have a £22 charge for green gas transport... Seems I can't get WE gas anywhere... What is it you want? I have family with me now who still live in the UK who could possibly bring something back and ship it to you.

Well, I got to the U.S. of A and realized something about my current situation pertaining to this fabulous sport. I had basically no useable guns, an extremely limited load out, no gas, and only a few cheap batteries and BBs to go around... So let the games begin! First off, I was working at the Rogers Holster Company, so I was able to get the following for cheap: 1x ProFit 578 left black holster 3x ProFit 578 left shims 1x ProFit 578 right shim 1x Universal Magazine Pouch belt FDE 4x Universal Magazine Pouch MOLLE FDE 4x Universal Magazine Pouch MOLLE black 1x Rogers Quick Attach Sight Mount 1x Rogers Rail Light 2x MLS Male FDE 2x MLS Female FDE 1x MMLS Male FG 1x MMLS Female FG 1x Paddle Mount left black 1x Belt Mount left black So that got me the pouches and holsters I needed. Then I needed clothing and such. From PROPPER: 2x PROPPER STL II FDE 2x PROPPER STL II black Now I can look proper (pun intended). But unless I want to throw budget BBs at people, I need guns. From my new US forum: KAA Stoner LMG (happiness) E&L AKS-74 (finally got an AK) 2x G&P AK 130 rnd midcaps 4x CYMA AK 130 rnd midcaps From Tokyo Model: 1x Archives Ivory Frame 1x WEI Tech frame black/gold 1x Xcortech tracer/chronograph From Evike: 1x 8.4v 1600MaH stick 1x smart charger 2000 0.25g Madbull Red Tracer BBs 1x Angel Customs 3 stage G17 recoil spring From Airsoft Barracks (my local store): 1x WE G17 mag 1x Umarex Blow Back Gas 1x Python TBB 6.02mm G17 barrel I think that's enough for now

Their 578s aren't as expensive. And I would say me, but I'm out of the country. Actually, thinking about it, I don't think the 578 fits 226s wit a rail yet. Will need another 6-8 weeks before that model is done. I may be able to get you a 7TS holster; I got one more in the UK that fits my WE 226, but I'll have to see who's around to ship if you want it.

Hello, As some of you may know, I am now living in the U.S. As such, I need a new Airsoft forum ( I will still be active here). Any recommendations?

Ima throw this out and say... Rogers Holsters? Webbing, MOLLE, leg, paddle, belt, you name it, their holsters can attach. Their new 578s are good

This ^^^. All you need to know
