  1. Sprayed my gun with OD Krylon, should I put a cost of something over to protect it? If so is there anything in Halfords that would do the job and mix ok with the krylon?

      if you do decide to go down the laqure route now or in the future spray some of the colour you are using on something. Let it dry then spray your laqure. Sometimes certain prducts react badly with each other and halfords don't really say wether some of their products are enamel or acyllic based.

      Enamel should go over the top of anything

      The issue with ANY rattle can lacquer but particularly Halfords (which is all water based/borne acrylic now by law) is the amount of solvent in it. It's the solvent that may react with the paint. The trick is to use lots of thin layers and allow the solvent to fume off before adding more. That said, I've used Krylon with Halfords rattle can clear with no issues. If you're particularly worried though Krylon do their own matt lacquer (although it is pricey and tricky to source - I g...

  2. Do you have to prime a TM VSR-10 before painting it with Krylon?

      I (mostly) jest.

       

      If you use Krylon Fusion paints it has an adhesion promoter mixed in so you shouldn't need to prime it. You will still need to key the surface to get best results though.

      Like Lozart said - the most important step is sanding with a semi-fine grit to break up the finish on the plastic before spraying. That said, I prime with their grey first as I've found I can prime then sand again to remove and slight bumps etc. before the coat.

      Thanks guys! I just got the standard black as OD was impossible to find, so bought can of krylon OD but didn't get primer so will get some, not sure if I'm going to replicate the OD version or just do multicam or something similar!

  3. What scope mounts has TM VSR-10 GSpec have? Any recommended scopes?

    1. jcheeseright

      jcheeseright

      g-spec doesn't come with scope rings.

      I know that's why I was asking what's mount it has to buy the rings

      My Marui chrome M9 is worth around £160 new, minus the two spare magazines (included it'd be over £200) I could only get around £110 from it if I decided to sell it. Good thing I'm not going to anytime soon.

  6. Thinking of buying the G&G g980 *kar98* are they good? I was going to lower the fps to 1joule for skirmishing

  7. Confused people said I could put in a tight bore into my TM Scar H most people said 6.02 or .03 but the stock barrel is 5.97 so its tighter anyway?!?

      Best bet with a TM is to keep it as is. These forums are full of people who try to improve their TM guns and they never shoot as well afterwards.

      Yea that's where I seen the figure, on the eagle6 website, I couldn't understand it at all! Im just putting in a new barrel and a M90OR 100 spring nothing more.

       

    4. jcheeseright

      jcheeseright

      M90 is the same rating as the stock spring, if you're changing anything put an M100 in and that's IT. The TM inner barrel is already really good, no need to change it.

       

  8. Hey guys can you get a mag grip for the Mk 17/ Scar H? and if so where? I can't see them anywhere

      You could get a couple of snap shackles and fit them to a 2 point loop securing sling

      I bought this chinese copy of a magpul sling for less than £10, its single or two point, its a great copy, rock solid and supports the weight of my GBB 416 and all my toys!

      There's also NCS VISM 2 pointers, they're made with Herringbone webbing (seatbelt material) and they're pretty good. They can be converted to a 1 point sling if you know what you're doing http://www.zerooneairsoft.com/product_info.php?products_id=9378

  10. Best beginners aeg gun for around 100-50? Friend has just took up the hobby :)

      Yeah the new CMs look nice. The CQB-S Mini looks pretty good

      Combat Machine is the go-to for any beginner, they hold up well against up market AEG's and last a good while. And keep your wallet smiling

      You should look around a bit more, got ESS V12s with the 3 lense pack for £20 surplus. Personally really happy with mine.

    3. ItsAJ

      Yea I seen them alot cheaper but I need them for sunday and the postage was the only one to be here on time. Are they comfortable on the bridge of your nose? Do they seal 100 percent around your face?

    4. M_P

      M_P

      The ESS have a full seal, remove the foam in the vents for better airflow though. They don't really touch the bridge of my nose though that will depends on each persons face.

  13. Anybody know the diameter of the inner barrel on a stock TM SCAR H?

      I suppose it would be, save a penny save a pound type of thing.

      M_P you said in my thread about maybe getting a 6.03mm and a firefly hop set, what bucking and nub do I need I seen they do hard and soft etc.

      Was looking at them here http://eagle6.co.uk/shop/catalogsearch/result/?q=firefly+hop+up+bucking

      Wolf armouries gave me this replacement haha, I know it's been one thing after another, think I'm out like 60 quid postage or more but screw it lol

       

  15. I have terrible luck, after two faulty scars, and lot's of trouble getting a rfund from the first the second company now doesn't want to send a replacement because they hear no rattle and the fact a part was missing can be replaced. That's not the point! I spent 500 quid, it should be PERFECT. If not a perfect one should then be sent.

      It's all right guys I got my replacement in the post with a bit of pushing and a lot of calls, I did look up what you had said about the recoil mechanism the only thing that made me think it was something else was it moved sooo much, like it rolled or slid for quite a distance, It sounded like the brass ring that should be in the hop up unit sliding down the barrel, but either way its gone and a new one is in the post, 3rd time lucky boys? I wouldn't say they were bellends, one seemed...

    3. ItsAJ

      ItsAJ

      like he didnt want to be there, the other couldn't replace without permission so the manager was called in. They were NOTHING compared to FIRESUPPORT. These guys are paying for the postage and were civil! I won't even order bbs from them because of how they treated me and they are the only place I can find TM perfect hits in the UK.

       

    4. jcheeseright

      jcheeseright

      I guarantee the next one will make the same noise. like a slide... thud, back and forth as you tip the gun.

  16. Think my aeg is being held by Customs? Tracking says National hub, arrived and processed all day and it's well over 24 hours since sent on 24hour postage.

      I know he spent two hours on it though I had never asked for it to be fixed, always had tried to pursue a replacement and ultimately in the end the avoidance of a replacement ended up me feeling a refund was the best option or safest.

    3. Airsoft_Mr B

      Airsoft_Mr B

      Yeah I would want a new one as well mate I agree. Hope it gets sorted out alright. I've never heard owt bad about them so I was a bit surprised at this.

    4. ItsAJ

      ItsAJ

      Well things worked out in the end, Firesupport have agreed to a full refund of the gun and the mag, not the postage however which legally they are bound to pay for BUT I will not look a gift horse in the mouth, take my loss and walk away.
