    That's pretty much covers it. And at the time (a couple years ago) it was around £25. Think they are around £30 now. The TS-100 that the unit is cloned from was around £60. It won't suit everyone, but for simple soldering (like XT60s or Deans), anything Airsoft related (e.g. rewiring a gun), building a small RC Plane/FPV drone, or small general electronics projects, it's a good little unit and about a million times better than the Weller 'dumb' soldering iron I was using before (slight exaggeration but you get the idea). It heats to whatever working temperature you set in just a few seconds and has an accelerometer built in to detect if you are using it, so powers itself down after a set time of non-use (you can specify in the options) until you pick it back up again. It needs a seperate power source (a big LiPo can be used, but I use a ToolkitRC power supply) so that's something to consider. At the end of the day it won't replace a decent soldering station as it's still only a 65W Iron.

    Umm - yeh. It has an integrated LCD screen and STM32 based processor. The 'Ralim' firmware changes the UI a bit (for the better) and raises the max temp to ~450C.

    EC3 and EC5 are just bullet connectors in a plastic housing, much like XT30/60. But unlike XT30/60, the EC connectors are seperate to the housing. Batteries should always be female (the tube ferrules). Gun side should be male (the bullets). I used to hate deans, but I've learned to live with them for Airsoft and can solder to them to a pretty decent standard. Biggest thing for me was switching to a good soldering iron - I use a Sequre SQ-001 with custom firmware and TBS 63:37 solder (both from HobbyRC) and soldering deans has been a doddle ever since.

      I can't help feel some responsibility for mentioning CAS numbers...

    Well, I'm actually interested - I was looking for a G36 but an UMP tickles my fancy too. Post up pics.
  6. Speedbird_666
    It's a tough one. Most experienced Airsofters knows that ARES OEM's these, and recent Negative Airsoft videos have not been complimentary at all towards Rapax. A good rule of thumb to start with would be around 60% of current retail - so that's what... around £360ish for the Gun + Mags?
  7. Speedbird_666
    Tried XT60s - but found them too chonky for some applications. XT30s work well, but the reality is that Airsoft has settled on Deans as the upgrade path from mini Tamiyas, with loads of RIFs, LiPos and ETUs/Mosfets fitted with them from the factory, so I finally admitted defeat and switched exclusively to Deans for airsoft a few years ago. Still use XT60/30s on my RC stuff though.

    No way this is ICS - they only make the 'G33' which is their weird take on the G36 to avoid the ire of the Umarex lawyers. If you take the handguard off and take a picture of the barrel underneath (where the battery goes) - it might be possible to work out the manufacturer. Also - if there is a microswitch 'click' when you pull the trigger (no battery in the gun) - that would help differentiate too. Oh - and this looks more like a G36E to me..

    WTF is going on with that rail/receiver join? It looks like the receiver was built for a very specific rail system to lock onto it, and the OEM decided to throw on another altogether, leaving a gap. They don't even match in height on the upper rail. Having looked through the rest of Delta Armouries product line, it looks very much like the same fodder that comes from Huntsman, Specna, Lancer, Evolution et al. I would be interested to see the internals of the gun before passing judgement.

    A cool looking, but otherwise very average chinese red dot. Why Zero One charge £90 for these new is beyond me - I guess the MD has to pay for his new Merc somehow, and they got enough unsuspecting punters through the showroom door to actually sell them. Anyway, got this in a kit bundle - but it's not my cup of tea at all. It functions, and the dot moves as it should when turning the dials. Just don't expect HolyWarrior or third-shift Sig Romeo 5 performance/brightness - it's just a cheap red dot with an insane mark-up, hence my price. Couple of small marks commensurate with use.

    Viper VX Charger backpack in VCam (or whatever they call their multicam knockoff) - this came attached to a VX chest rig in a kit bundle I bought- I'm keeping the rig, but this is no use to me so selling on. In near-new condition - I don't think it was ever used. The only exception is one zip pull cord missing on the front 'expander' zip. Price includes Postage and Paypal fees

    *Update* - After having a few people ask, I have been able to source a brand new 'standard' ICS MP5 Handguard locally (see pictures). Buyer gets to choose which handguard they want - and if they want both it's an extra £10. Never skirmished - it was bought to tick it off my 'to buy' list (having never owned an MP5 before). I now want a G36 to play with, so I'm moving this gun on. Plastic body, fitted with an ICS standard MP5 Handguard OR ICS B&T railed handguard and an ACM optics rail. Comes with two 230rd Hi-Cap mags. Stucturally sound (no stripped screws or cracked plastics) and in excellent condition - there are some small marks from storage but it's never left my house after purchase. Gun has been re-wired to deans, and had the mediocre stock ICS piston/piston head replaced with a brand new XT Lightweight Piston and XT alloy piston head from AK2M4. The gun otherwise is completely stock. Currently shoots 300fps at around 14.5RPS on a 7.4v LiPo. Usual selling restrictions apply - Over 18, UKARA or similar defence required etc. No offers - don't ask. I'm in no rush to sell and I am only selling exactly what is in the pictures, nothing more. No Dibs, I will not hold it until your next payday. Price includes Postage and Paypal fees. Collection from Christchurch, Dorset can be arranged for £5 off the asking price.

    £90

    Yeh - this. The VCRA is about the Import, manufacture and selling of RIFs, not ownership. The defense is to satisfy the seller that you are a legit airsofter. The seller fucked up - not your problem - you don't need to paint your gun. Enjoy it - responsibly!, and enjoy the additional resale value when it comes to selling it in future, as two-tone always command lower 2nd hand prices.

    Nearly bought an NY03 Lite because they looked cool and were a decent price on Patrolbase. Then I remembered those microwave oven door microswitch triggers and the inability to equip a decent ETU without modifications then thought better of it. I was in the market for a DMR - I would be looking at the Cyma M14 as per @Tackle's recommendation. I've seen a few in the 'real' on game days and they seem to be really solid performers.
  15. Speedbird_666
    I think that is pretty much most of his market. And it makes sense really. I do not own a single Novritch product, so I cannot be classed as a fanboi, but I respect the fact that he's trying to do something a bit different.
  16. Speedbird_666
    I'm slowly coming to the conclusion that Double Bell/DBoys is the OEM for this G36. Some of the SSR63 accessories on Nov's site have Double Bell listed as manufacturer, and recent video reviews of the Double Bell/Dboys G36 show a metal outer barrel & barrel ring much like the SSR63 (and Ares/S&T/Specna) instead of the TM/JG/CYMA style plastic outer barrel/mock piston assembly. QD spring guide looks much the same too. So it's a £120ish gun with a cool rail system and some internal upgrades. I don't think it is stellar value, but it's arguably the best appointed out-of-the-box G36 at the moment. I think the G36 platform deserves more love. I've had a couple over the years and have regretted selling them (*he says looking at his growing pile of somewhat underused M4s*).

    Is it not fixable? Looking at the product pictures - It looks like an Omron detector/limit switch surface mounted to a very simple PCB. Here are the switches (I think it's a left operating, normally open variant): https://www.digikey.co.uk/en/products/filter/limit-switches/198?s=N4IgjCBcoLQCxVAYygMwIYBsDOBTANCAG4B2aWehA9lANohwAMA7GAgLqEAOALlCCAC woA Infosheet to check the measurements: https://omronfs.omron.com/en_US/ecb/products/pdf/en-d3sk.pdf If you know anyone that can solder/hot air reflow (whatever it's called), or even a local phone/tablet etc repair company, I'm sure it's a quick job to swap the switch over. Worth a punt if nothing else?

    It's a lot of money for a G36 - but I never knew that I wanted a G36 with an MLOK rail so bad until now... Doesn't appear to be S&T/Ares based and the plastics (and barrel mounting) don't scream JG/CYMA. I'm wondering if its based on the WE 999K AEG.

    NO VALUE SPECIFIED

    About two years ago - they dropped the M9xx series from nowhere and the momentum has been growing behind them ever since. Reliability (from user feedback) seems to match the likes of G&G and their Combat Machines, but at a much better price and (importantly) feature point. I just jumped on the bandwagon to see what they are like (M904G) and so far I am very impressed.
  21. Speedbird_666
    Nice - doesn't seem to be in stock anywhere ATM but might take a punt one day if the prices stays under £100.
  22. Speedbird_666
    Is that the Plastic or metal version?
  23. Speedbird_666
    Gen3s are rolled out of the same factory as the Novritsch SSR4: I thought that AIM TOP was the OEM for most of these manufacturers? Lonex has OEM'd for Tippmann (Commando series), BO Dynamics (LT5xx series) and ASG (M15 Proline) off the top of my head. Maybe they did the Prolines for Lancer too? - the GB's have that Lonex shiny finish.
  24. Speedbird_666
    And they just rolled out this masterpiece - a support gun with no bipod, a mock suppressor but no tracer, an angled foregrip to c-clamp that chonky front end but nothing to help hold it's weight, and a base gun that uses a V2 gearbox and not a support gun platform. https://www.patrolbase.co.uk/bolster-armouries-atlas-advanced-support-gun-aeg All yours for £1499. I have seen a Bolster Armouries M4 thing in the 'real'. It was merely ok - nothing exceptional. And certainly not worth the wedge of cash it cost.
  25. Speedbird_666
    Had a brand new SHS High Torque arrive for the gun (from AK2M4) but I wish I ordered a higher-TPA motor - I am concerned that without Active Braking I will get overspin on an 11.1v LiPo. I think I'll use it for another project instead as the Stock performance is decent enough at the moment for my uses. I have installed a new ZCI Plastic Hop Unit though - much nicer than the stock one.
