    Having a play about with configurations on my DMR and added a HK51 Barrel

     

    It looks like the barrel is sagging a slight bit, if possible maybe put a solid barrel spacer in near to the end to keep it straighter? (That is unless it's a trick of the mind!).

    Problem with google is you need to put in the right terms to get what you need.  Was searching for Dive shops since last night, nothing really local and no mention of filling HPA for paintball/airsoft.  Just restarted searching, this time for Diving Shop, and there is one in walking distance and it does!  £4  for a filled tank, though as a Scuba tank is £5 longer term might be more cost effective.

     

    They open at 12, so will be ringing in 18 mins 😉

     

    Now just need the hose to arrive ....

     

    Took ages to fill 400psi with the hand pump, TFFT.

    I have one 10 minutes form my work, wander in, fill up 2 48ci tanks and I'm gone pretty quick haha.
    I only use HPA for GBBR's and pistols so I'm not pumping out 1000's of rounds, enough to warrant a scuba to fill me up during the day.

    I would suggest play a few games and see what air you're at after, if you're running low by the end or mid way then perhaps a scuba could be a good investment.

    I've been reading all the threads on the forum, but the challenge seems to be finding one that is willing to fill them.  E.g. some paintball sites may not want to know, no benefit for them, same for Dive shops.

     

    Cheers

    Very true, some dive shops don't like HPA tanks, the one's that fill from large tanks probably won't, but those with compressors should be fine..
    Worst case, buy a scuba tank and get that filled no problems.

    Now I just need to work out how to power it.

     

    Tried pumping the HPA tanks but barely making a dent in the pressure gauge with a hand pump  Might try CO2 initially, until I can find somewhere to fill the cylinders.  Missing the bit to connect to the CO2, so will have to source one.  So far can only find them on US websites.

     

    Cheers

    Dive shops and some paintball sites if you didn't already know.
    You'll need a fill station if it didn't come with one also.

    Can a nozzle return spring be too strong? - "180%" nozzle return spring in stock gold match?

    @Marc.RG1

    Not sure about the nozzle but if you use a weak/stock nozzle with a 140% recoil spring it can shatter the nozzle quick.
    Perhaps the same can be said (however slower over time) for a 180% nozzle return spring? - Could be a worth a test :P

    Dynatex timed BFG - Is it just me, or are the pins shite?
    Have used it twice. Each time the pin was very difficult to get in. On the third time, it bent pretty much in half.
    Can anyone recommend a decent pin that's compatible , but won't break so easily please?
     

    You're not wrong, they are shit. And so were the gen 1 SWAT VTG's, however they came out with an upgraded one a while back.
    May be worth your while ordering a couple from SWAT?

    Time. I have three kids and can get mags loaded and so on whilst still looking after em, waiting for wife.
    I'm never able to get to a skirmish for the start time, so having everything ready to go saves playing time lost when I get there.

    Fair one mate, but I would reload when Sunday comes around instead of waiting.

    I filled my mags to play on Sunday just gone, but didn't get to play.
    So, as I'm playing this Sunday, I'm wondering whether I should empty them now, or just leave em til Sunday...

    I mean.. I don't want to be rude by being sarcastic but it takes 2 seconds to fill them and empty them..
    Pistol mag springs are rather thin, so the sprung metal will be more susceptible to compression issues, I would empty them if I were you, and also ask why you filled them up before you went?
    I don't want to shout wrong info or say I know for sure, but when I started out 5 years ago I was told it's illegal to travel with a loaded airsoft magazines.

    Again cannot remember but just empty dude :P saves less issues.

    How long can you leave BBs loaded in a gas pistol mag without causing a problem?

    Leaving BB's in any spring magazine (AEG mid caps and of course pistol mags) for a day or two will have very little impact.
    However if you leave them full and the spring compressed for say weeks, they will likely compress permanently and lose strength to push out some of the last bb's.

    If you're asking because you have done this, fill the mag to full and fire the bb's out and see if you can finish all the bb's in the mag.
     If you haven't done this, I would recommend that you don't :)


    But again some mags may not be used for the whole game day so most usually have around 8 hours compressed and will work fine for months to come (will eventually have an effect but takes a long time).

    They can be stretched if this happens, or replaced for very cheap.

    Thanks for the replies.

     

    Fire Support sells the manuals, but they have none in stock for the Hicap 5.1.

     

    The hop up adjuster is shaped like the bottom half of a circle. I want to disable it, and then turn it on a little at a time to get the best setting. I guess that with the marker on the wheel completely to the left the hop up is off and that turning it to the right activated the hop. There is no way of seeing from the breech if it is on or off and removing the barrel and hop up unit is a tedious job. Even then I found it hard to see the movement of the hop.

    Hop up wheel is fairly straight forward, the arrow to the front is off, the arrow to the back is full.
    Hicapas all that I've seen work best at around 55%

    It's quite easy to test.. set the hop, shoot at a long range target and watch the bb, if it's too much, try the other way and vise versa.

    So that's a no then?
    I'm looking for something like this:
    https://www.cubancigarwebsite.com/
    But one for RIFs...

    One does not exist that I know of, you can easily go to maybe 5 popular retailer sites and look at the brand list, from there go to each brand's own website for a full list start to end of all guns.
    Might I ask what this is for?

    To make one sounds like it would be a waste of time.

    How do I find info about red dots combined with flip out magnifiers? Or is it the other way round?
    TIA

    Wording's a little confusing but from what I can make out, to see what is compatible red dot to magnifier, you have to just know what it is you're after and the type.
    If you look online most magnifier will be for Eotechs, others for aimpoint red dots, and then some "might" work with other sights but are best for the previously listed.

    Just look at the image and if it looks like the one used (perhaps in a google image search) as ones people use with the preferred sight of your choice, then go for it.

    Kinda reminds me of some STALKER series :P

    I'd only swap the hoodie with some kind of russian style warm hat and you're set :)

     

    EDIT: fuq, i thought it was the loadout thread -.-

    G3 is a gun i've wanted for ages to build a DMR.. how does it perform??

    I got to fire one at the weekend (indoors but still) firstly HOLY BUJEEEESUS is it heavy!

    Fairly snappy too, not too different from any other mid-high tier AEG, but the body feels amazing, the old stamped steel just feels fun to use, fitted mags with no wobble!

     

    I would class this as a very collector style gun, however it does perform very well and would be a nice platform for a DMR build. :)
