Speedbird_666

Went on the Z1 forums for the first time in ages. Came across this little gem: https://forums.zeroin.co.uk/forum/classifieds/rifles-smg-s-for-sale/electric-rifles-smg-s/3295006-specna-arms-sa-h03 Just some minor issues: - No markings - could be a respray but could also be a generic 416 lower - Wrong grip and stock - ASAP sling plate, without the loop for the sling - Missing mock Bolt release - Missing Dust Cover - Missing mock Bolt - Missing gas block - Oh...and missing ENTIRE FRONT HALF OF THE RAIL! Notice none of the camera angles show that it's been cut. All yours for £180. Nice

I believe that 11 holes is correct: However the seam line is not judging by Noveske's website:

Brand new = Warranty. Call your retailer?

The upper and lower use different polymers - the lower being stiffer/harder, the upper is slightly softer and has a touch more flex. There is a slight difference in colouring and finish too if you look closely. Both are excellent quality - the best I've seen on an out of the box Airsoft gun The bolt stop has the mag well protrusion, so if you have the appropriate KWA GB with the Cutoff electronics and associated MS120C Mags, you should be able to add the bolt stop feature onto the gun. Luke *sort of* approves (I replaced my piston with no ill effects to date but I will keep an eye on it)

The only thing I don't like about Cyma AKs (having owned a CM.045) is the pot metal used in the folding stock hinge/rear trunnion. Really decent gun otherwise.

Looks like the same fare spat out of the same OEM factory as Specna, Evolution and Lancer Tactical.

You can stick one in a counterweight pouch and velcro to the back of the helmet, then run the airflow tubes internally (through the bump helmet vent holes) to the goggles. *Edit* Something like this:

Got the EVE-4 which is pretty much identical with the exception of the Stock and fore end length. I posted my thoughts here:

What spec is the 'NATO' dovetail? I can only find reference to 3/8in or 11mm dovetail used on commercial firearms/Airguns.

A shame, but not surprising - paintball as a sport and industry has been in a sustained and steady decline for well over a decade now. Way too expensive for kids parties, Stag-dos are not exactly repeat customers nor sustainable income in the current climate, not enough interest to continue walk-on days at many sites (thus removing the tournament player pipeline). Most of the UK Tournament Series are long gone (NSPL, Dartford 7's, M25 Series etc). The major forums are pretty much dead (P8ntballer & PBNation). Even NXL World Cup seemed a bit - mediocre - compared to years past (I know the hurricane didn't help. Nice to see SD Dynasty on amazing form with Ollie Lang). I hope OnTarget can successfully partner with someone or offload the site for Airsoft use.

Looks alright, although I won't play there as there isn't a brain bucket on the market that will fit my massive noggin (helmets mandatory for 'elf and safety). Irony is - all the FB pictures have peeps wearing various cheapo repo lids, but I would wager none of them are in any way impact safety rated. Otherwise - it looks similar to the Bunker in Portsmouth.

If you are referring to the bit that sits on the motor shaft between the pinion and motor can, then yes, they are easy to transfer. It's getting the pinion off in the first place that can be the problem. You might need a pinion pulling tool if it's a press fit.

The Hera Arms gun is actually made by ICS, so you would be looking specifically for ICS grips if you want a drop-in fit. Why? Because ICS has some funky fitment standards and finding a non-ICS grip to fit without having to deal with dremelling/filing and potentially messing up the motor angle can be a real bitch** ICS parts can be sourced from Fire-Support - look for anything that would normally be fitted as 'stock' on their EBB models (Not CS4/CXP non-EBB models - they use slightly different geometries again) If in doubt, call Fire-Support about compatibility before ordering. There have been Hera Arms that popped-up in the classifieds that have had the stock/grip swapped out (note the poor fit of the G&G grip) **Source: I have 4 ICS M4 Models in my collection.

Looks to me like an early JG/Golden Eagle. Might be DBoys though.

Bit steep for a two-tone respray when you could get a brand new, unmolested gun for £40 more.

Fixed that for you.

ToolkitRC are a bit hit and miss with their gear (particularly with cell voltage calibration) - but they have improved over the years. The unit is very cheap (£17 here) and miles ahead of the Airsoft-branded shite 'dumb' chargers peddled by some vendors - BUT - there are limitations - as mentioned the Max Charge Current is low so bigger batteries will take longer - and there are only four pre-set charge currents that can be selected (something like 0.5A, 1A, 2A and 2.5A) which means if you have a fairly common 1300-1500mAh battery, you will be charging it at only 1A so it will take a bit longer. It's also LiPo only - so NiMhs are out. If you can live with the above, it's probably worth a punt if you can get it for less than £20. The SkyRC65 may not be as 'cool' (i.e. no colour screen) but it's much better appointed in terms of features for £32.

A ‘Nerfed’ nerf by the looks of it. Doesn’t even shoot any real frickin lasers.

If I could make a suggestion - extend it all the way back into the butt-pad cavity so it butts up against the flat section at the back. It'll act as a stabiliser to help to reduce flex/wobble. Also gives you more battery/wiring space.

Lets not forget good old RAL8000. OP - you will struggle to get an exact match (especially if the Receiver is anodised rather than painted) Case in point - all of the tan parts on this gun are 'RAL8000'. Nearly every part is a different shade depending on metal grade, plastic type, and the lunar cycle by all accounts. Good luck.

OK...welcome to the forums. Firstly - this is an Airsoft forum - judging by the gun you have listed in your profile you may be mistaken in thinking that this is a forum for Airguns (it's not - try https://airgunforums.co.uk/) Secondly - there is a classifieds section to place wanted ads. Some Airsoft Chronos work with Airguns, some do not - good luck with that. Thirdly - the Chrono you specified is as old as dirt and there are much better units around if you look (I had a CB-625 and hated it). TTFN

It's G&G - so my best guess is 'fucking expensive'. Their product pricing is absolutely mental these days.

'Old' VFC weren't *that* bad. I had a HK416 that actually shot really well out of the box once upon a time (circa 2014). In a way I regret selling it because it looked great. (I was going for a Norwegian-inspired build at the time.) This was before they fitted their janky Ambi controls and shit mosfets to their guns mind you. I think their QA has taken quite a nose dive in more recent times.

Electronic Paintball guns have been using optical eyes for years (nearly 20 actually) to prevent chopping. The technology is well proven in greasy and dirty conditions, assuming it's been implemented right by G&G.
