[Black Air soft Gun]

"Legality" is an interesting one for airsoft in the UK. The easiest way to get realistic-colored guns is to get a UKARA number. To get one simply play three games at a site in X amount of time (2 months? Three? I cant remember). Then you can get a non-painted gun. I cannot comment on your particular case regarding MVT though. That being said you dont need anything to legally own a realistic airsoft gun, only to *buy* one.

I wish I could find WA mags. Ive got a single stack 1911 Id love to use (given to my grandfather by a member of the Japanese Police? Anti-terror? their version of the FBI? IDK - as a thank you for some work he did for them for the I believe 1998 Winter Olympics) but the sole single stack mag I have just isnt enough.

[Sig Mpx AEG]

I refused to buy one until mags were available. So now, I have one haha. I built one years ago using a Sig Air springer, but Im happy to have the real thing now as well. If theyre appearing this side of the pond I imagine theyll be appearing in the UK soon.

Perfect for GBBR's too. 👍

 

 

True. However I avoid AR-pattern guns for the most part. I own a few KA PDWs, an AEG M27 LE, a Daytona M27, a NGRS 416a5, and this MTW. Nothing I can really use an AEG UBR on. I did have it mounted to a 417 using a custom adapter I made on a lathe, but again the battery space was an issue so it was removed.

I'm a big fan of the UBR, that's a great choice. Is that a RS Geissele mount?

 

Yep. I work on a range here in the US and anything extra in the safe at work is kinda "fair game" to use, so the UBR and SP mount are from there. I have a black AEG PTS UBR as well, but I am yet to find a platform I like it on as the battery setup is less than ideal - but its perfect on a HPA gun like a MTW.

Alright, *now* my MTW is externally done. Still need to tune it properly and add some “softening material” to the front for it to be 100% inside, but I’m really loving how it’s turned out, as long as I ignore the cost haha.

Too much?

Found some old .45 tracer ammo last night so I had to break out my RS FNX45. looks nigh identical to your black one except with a far longer suppressor haha.

[Load-Out / Loadout Picture topic]

Pics are starting to come in from Op Stonebreaker this past weekend. The AO is an old nuclear power plant now used for training and the occasional MilSim. I was running a hybrid AT/LMG role.

She wasn’t cheap, but I’ve been looking for an excuse to join the MTW club for awhile now and shiny things always draw my eye. #157/250. All externals are real Magpul and took very little modification to fit. Still need a few external parts to arrive tomorrow to finish the build, but she’s looking and preforming excellently. 
 

[King Arms PDW SBR SD]

Decent externally, as most others here have done I tore the internals out and replaced them. Seemingly fully v2 compatible. Right now its in my top 3 SMGs alongside my KWA TK45c BC and TM Bingo MP7. Externals are pretty compatible - I throw on a keymod rail system and actually extended it a bit. 

 

 

[Russian kit yay or nay ?]

I personally wont wear my Russian kit, but is it because of the current events or because its bloody hot and not as comfortable as my German outfits? If you show up in Russian kit I may ignore you as another BBLarper or compliment something if its particularly good. If you show up in Russian kit and talk about how youre invading Ukraine or making fun of the situation I have a feeling youll be kicked out. I wont be getting rid of my gear anytime soon though, and if I sign up for Fulda Gap, Caspian Assault, or any other NATO vs WARSAW/RUSFOR themed game as the Russians, then Ill wear it. I dont really care end of the day what you wear as long as it isnt purposely offensive. 

[Unscrewing x300 bezel]

Its essentially locktite'd on. Like an orange tip but more extreme. Youll need to get it quite hot, then wrap something around it (its metal, so itll be hot) and unscrew. Its a PITA to do.

[What have you made?]

After my 417 drum design, I decided to make a little something else. Anyone wanna take a guess at the finer details? Very much still a WIP. This thing took 13 hours to print at only 30% infill - 100% would take over 25 hours. I still need to do a bit of detailing, add the bottom cutouts and bolt hole, slightly reduce the internal cavity, add the retainer bolt and nut holes, and as I am likely to split these in half for future printing ill have to model that and do the bolt and nut holes for that part too.

[What have you made?]

417 drum adapter v3b is good enough to show pics of. v2 and v3 were based off the Angel Customs drum, instead of the A&K SR-25 drum that v1 used, as that drum apparently sucks, and neither lasted through a single game day. v3c will likely be the final version, I just gotta make a little more room for the rear of the adapter to drop down. Not gonna be a big enough change for a v4. Three part, requires a donor AC M4 adapter, two M3x25mm bolts, one M3x14mm bolt, and three M3 square nuts. Complete reversible back to M4 adapter, so no wasted parts. You’re just using the sliding door, BB retention wedge, and spring. Since then I printed a low infill v3c and it fit, so now I have the final prototype of the two inner parts printing, and if those are all good then we will have a finished version.

 

 

[MTW Wolverine Billet Gen 2 - Not shooting great 😢]

MTWs are supposed to be one of the best OOTB guns out there, with every part being made specifically for the platform. I will be getting one myself in April. But we are gonna need a good bit more info to help you. Any internal mods? BB weight and brand? Reg? Hows your refresh rate? Any bends or kinks in your line? Have you played with adjusting your hop at all? Does it have the new Phoenix hop, or standard?

[TM MP7 AEP Outer Barrel]

So the threading on my TM MP7 has finally worn down enough to not securely lock the flash hider on. So I need a replacement. I want to stop with the (I believe) 12mm threads as I run it with the MP7 suppressor/tracer, which needs the specific flash hider to work. So anyone know where I can get a replacement? Country doesn’t matter at this point.

Time to wire this Bullgear mag into my Galil. Hope this doesn’t require the milling machine...

You are forgetting something. The Church of HK will remind you.

[Gun picture thread]

My Galil ARM build is nearing completion. Externally she's all but there, though the internals still need some work. Special parts include a real MePro M21 sight, custom Galil midcaps, Bullgear RPK drum, and a heavily modified Bullgear gearbox shell and Retro Arms AK hop to fit together. If people really want it I can post a full build list, but I dont really feel like looking up the list right now...

yeah figured that'd be the issue, afaik p* will do a custom one although not sure if that applies to the offset variants, and regardless not a cheap solution.

 

Yea myself and my local tech asked about custom nozzles and the number we got, well, was a bit much. And this is coming from me - I have several guns in the 4 digit range and some even approaching 2 grand. Im not gonna say that the Hydra is the *only* option - I would message P*, Amped Airsoft, and Airsoft Junkiez (the latter two are two of the biggest custom HPA builders in the US and do this kind of stuff regularly) alongside any big HPA custom shops in the UK, and see if any existing nozzles out there will fit another engine and the RPD setup. The Hydra will work fine for you if you do have to go that route, its just not as good as say a F2 or Reaper. Also I despise the simple Wolverine FCUs - to the point that buying bluetooth boards is almost a necessity for me now for any Wolverine guns. You can certainly make due with the little dials, but nothing compares to having an actual screen to read off numbers.

i don't deny the f2 is an excellent engine, but figured it was a bit too much adjustability for the role.

 

the offset nozzle does make a difference, done derped hard not looking it up...... (imma pretend i didn't get the rpd and rpk mixed up.....)

 

you can get offset nozzle configs for the f2, although a narrower range of lengths.

 

 

Yes, there are offset F2 nozzles though they are for specific guns, so its got to line up with an existing cylinder head.

a non-standard gearbox isn't so much of an issue. the majority of engines on the market are cylinder replacements that will drop into the space used by the original cylinder in the gun.

 

kits tend to come with trigger replacement units which will be specific to a standard gearbox type (generally a v2 or v3) which have a pair of microswitches- one for the selector and one for the safety.

 

however you can also get "universal" plug boards which will let you wire directly into the existing trigger contacts (although unless you wire up your own microswitch you'll lose select fire), for example this is how i wired up the mg42.

 

nozzle length will be another factor, there'll be a range of different options but if you can't get one that suits you might have to get a longer variant and have it machined down yourself.

 

 

take a look at high pressure airsoft, they have a range of different engines (although admittedly stock doesn't look so good these days).

 

i'd suggest going wolverine over the polarstar jack/F1 offerings- those 2 are open bolt designs and not good for accuracy. the f2 is a great engine but overkill for a support gun role (unless you're factoring in that you might want to switch to a different gun/role in the long run)

 

 

 

Most of the second half I disagree with to some extent - F2 is excellent for support platforms, and has preformed in the role better than my Wolverine engines which shine in DMR/semi auto or quiet builds. I do agree with the Jack/F1 though - only reason I own a Jack is that its literally the only engine that will fit in a TM MP7. His main issue is that the RPD appears to have an offset nozzle. While the cylinder replacement takes care of the fit, the nozzle is going to be a big problem and either require a new gearbox design (like I had to do for my STAR L86), or youll likely be forced to use the Wolverine Hydra. Its a somewhat subpar engine IMO, but its the only one that really supports a wide range of offset nozzles.

TM NGRS Delta with essentially the full KOA package. I basically took their build list and send it to my tech for a good bit less. Still instantly became one of my most expensive guns.
