  1. @SamK ICS guns do not come with batteries and chargers as standard. Having bought several guns off @HuttArmouries, I can say that £125 posted is a stonking good deal for what is a very decent gun and he will ship to you very quickly indeed.
  2. Already did this morning - he's sent me various files including a PDF version of the book, which is handy to print off the templates.
  3. The Weekend Warriors rule book arrived yesterday - my son is proper excited reading through it and he's started thinking about his warband and the scenario that we play. First game is this evening.
  4. Bought two guns this week - one Airsoft, one not...😁
  5. I have an Ender V2. I printed a new PSU cover and replaced the fan with a Noctua (there are plenty of files on thingiverse). Never had a problem with cooling thereafter and it was much quieter. Cost the grand sum of £15 at the time IIRC. The printers do wear out though - my V2 worked happily for over a year before it started struggling with print quality. Gave it a full re-build (replacing the bowden tube, print head fans and nozzle), bought some new filament (mine was getting old) and it's been working alright still 8 or so months later - although I don't use it nearly as much as my energy bill is now just over £400 a month...😩 It's a very decent printer with a little bit of work. BL/CR Touch and a PEI bed do also help with the user experience.
  6. Pretty sure S&T is the OEM for the Specna G36s. The also OEM some of the 'sportline' H&K licensed guns for Umarex along with the ARX-160. No ETU in Specna guns - it's shit marketing talk for 'microswitch trigger'. Full breakdown of the Specna G36 internals can be found here WE (yes that WE) make an AEG G36 that looks pretty nice available here for £170 - bog standard V3 internals but better plastics and construction compared to JG et al.
  7. Trirock operate as an Amazon Seller in the UK - whilst more expensive, some of the product range is available is fulfilled in the UK and next day if you are a Prime customer. https://www.amazon.co.uk/s?i=merchant-items&me=A1U4QU6OMEB9GE&marketplaceID=A1F83G8C2ARO7P&qid=1673688995&ref=sr_pg_1 TBH, I'm in the market for a 7in MLOK NSR Rail - I am tempted to take a punt at ordering from them directly.
  8. I might try a 5kg bag out. Been quite enjoying Geoffs recently but could do with restocking my stash.
  9. Great info - thanks! Perhaps a Dungeon Crawler style game with a more defined board would work - he loves traditional board games too so it might just bridge that gap.
  10. Thanks - worth a punt for a fiver! I'll order it when I get home from work later. I've also just found 'Weekend Warriors' designed specifically for kids: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Weekend-Warriors-Ultimate-Tabletop-Skirmish/dp/B09K1XCSPY
  11. Ok - figured I ask here as the Airsoft demographic will likely cross-over to gaming My youngest son (aged 10) is obsessed with the idea of playing table top games like 40K et al. Problem is - he (and I to be frank) gets frustrated by often extensive rules that seem to bog down the gameplay. We have the 40k Recruit edition, but spend more time looking in the rule book scratching heads than actually playing. Not having grown up with Table Top gaming myself, nor find it especially interesting (I rather shoot people with plastic BBs but I do like the modelling/painting aspect) I'm struggling a bit - but as a Dad I have to take it for the team. Does anyone know of a simple skirmish ruleset that we can use to keep the gameplay flowing with a handful of miniatures (to keep costs under control)? My son want to make his own scenery (he's pretty artistic and imaginative and I'd enjoy making it too). Not fussed if it's Sci-Fi or Fantasy. Cheers.
  12. What brand Packs? I've had HobbyKing Turnigys do this randomly despite taking good care of the packs (storage and balance charging with a high-end charger). Was your gun stored indoors (i.e. room temperature) or in an outbuilding/shed where it's colder? I would drop the pack into a bucket of salt water for a few days then bin it - I don't think the B6 has LiPo destroy function (although I would argue that B6's have a secret, randomly initiated, self-destruct function...😜)
  13. It's been up for sale before - the new owner obviously added new straps: I don't think £40 is too bad for a legit custom chest rig TBH.
  14. Please tell me that's going on a nice Air Rifle or powder burner? That's way too lovely to strap onto a LARPsoft BBWarz blaster.
  15. It's great that you actually got the gun back, but as others have said - name and shame. 10 months not even opening the parcel is a really dick move.
  16. This advert is COMPLETED!

    SOLD I have listed this gun as boneyard because it's over 10 years old, not been serviced in the last 6 years, and not been used for the last 3, so it could really do with a tear-down, inspection and re-grease. It has mainly used as a backup/loaner. To be clear - this is an all-plastic gun (receiver & rail) that's built like a tank and is heavier than a lot of metal guns (looking at you Specna). The polymer used is better than any G&G and only really rivaled by KWA's latest KO offerings. It is functional, and was last chrono'd at ~325FPS. The good: - Structurally sound - OEM'd by Lonex, so Lonex/Ultimate branded internals - Lonex Metal Hop unit & Steel barrel The not so good: - The gun's original wiring made it impossible to remove the GB without de-pinning the Tamiya connectors, so it was re-routed down the buffer tube (there was a recoil version of this gun so the wires were routed on the underside of the buffer tube), however a channel had to be dremeled inside the receiver for said wires. It does not affect the integrity in any way and cannot be seen from the outside. - The steel parts have very light surface corrosion - nothing a bit of wire wool and oil wouldn't fix - There is a detachable rail missing on one side (screws are still there). I'll try and find it before sending, but no guarantees. - The gun was originally EBB with a moving mock bolt - but the shuttle connecting the piston to the mock bolt was made of cheese so self-destructed after the few hundred rounds (later versions of the gun has steel shuttles and BO sold them as upgrades). The mock bolt still functions with charging handle and can still be locked back with the bolt release. - Meh Motor - works out roughly 28TPA so slow on a 7.4v LiPo but snappy enough on 11.1v. Caveat Emptor/Sold as seen.

    SOLD I have here a 100% complete Specna (sort of) Edge - some assembly required - all parts to complete are included. When I say 'Sort of' Edge - it's a Specna Edge metal body, rail, outer/inner barrel, hop unit etc. but the caveat is that the pile-o-shite Orion gearbox was sacked off and replaced with a complete E&C gearbox, with a couple of component swaps (nozzle/piston/piston head/spring/spring guide). Stock/Grip/Motor are all out of my spares box and are not Specna in Origin. Everything is structurally sound - no cracks, deep scratches or stripped threads from what I can see. The gun has been painted by me - turns out that Specna's 'Nano-bollocks' paint that they use for their receivers is nano-thin and susceptible to destroying itself in a slightly humid conditions - like being in the same room as a tumble-dryer. I had to strip back a lot of the original paint (which wasn't hard as a Sharpie leaves a thicker finish) so I used the gun to dick around with my new airbrush. It's had a couple of coats of paint, plus some ultra-matte varnish on top, but it's not the most hard-wearing finish (there's a few little marks already) so I would recommend attacking it with some Halfords Matte Lacquer if you want to keep that 'wannabe Geartech/Negative Airsoft but nowhere near as good' paint job I've applied. Again - all components to reassemble and produce a fully-functioning gun are here. Or don't reassemble and split the parts for something else. Up to you, I don't care. I've never liked the gun so I'll be glad to make some room getting rid of it. Caveat Emptor/Sold as seen.

  18. But what would happen if you bought a 20Kg bag and found they were wank? Surely you would buy a small pack to test first before going balls-deep bulk buying? - otherwise you could be left with 19.95kg of useless plastic.
  19. A decent site will ensure that the HPA inline regulators are locked down with a cable tie, and will conduct spot-checks during the course of the game day. If your site is not doing that - then find one that does. Again, I have seen real-steel sights and genuine Surefires get smashed by legit, chrono-checked 1j AEGs, so your argument about equipment doesn't hold much weight. You don't like HPA guns - we get it. But they are very much here to stay so you will have to learn to live with them if you want to continue with this hobby.
  20. Well, most of the HPA players I've come across have been no problem at all - they have enough self awareness to recognise that they will be more heavily scrutinised purely on their choice of power source for their plastic people shooter. I've probably had more problems with DSG and Super-duper Hi-speed AEG build owners over the years than HPA. As @Skara so eloquently put it - it's the player, not the gun. And I've seen very expensive gear get (surprisingly) smashed up with 1j guns (well before HPA became a 'thing') and if people don't wear full-face protection, then I don't have much sympathy for injuries that are clearly avoidable. P.S. I don't own anything HPA or remotely 'Hi-Speed'.
  21. The case is from a Well G17. The gun itself looks like a WE G18C. I wouldn't get too hung up on matching parts codes if the gun functions OK.
  22. Now running this gun with a Gate Titan and 16TPA SHS motor and it's very happy with this setup. The titan was a drop-in fit with no problems at all (once I've played with the settings) and it obviously gets rid of that Heath Robinson/Rube Goldberg proprietary cut-off lever and trigger switch. I would go as far as saying that a Titan is pretty much a required upgrade - it solves most of the niggles that I had with the gun. It's a shame that they don't offer a pre-installed Titan Basic version for £50-60 more - it would be a far more compelling option than the £300(!) Combat Machines being peddled these days. Then there's these coming next month - I am very tempted indeed:
  23. Yeh - you won't be replacing that - as @Nick G says, the geometry of the front of the receiver is not standard M4 spec. It looks proprietary to that specific Classic Army model (CAECR-5) Is this bit moulded into the upper receiver? I'm guessing it is - and if that's the case the only rail that will fit that receiver is another Classic Army rail of the same design. If the gun is good otherwise - run it until it dies. If you really don't like it, sell it and buy something with a rail that you do like.
  24. Firstly - welcome. ASG do not produce the M15 series themselves - they have various OEM manufacturers including Cyma, G&P, Classic Army and Lonex It's unlikely you will find something that will bolt-up onto the existing barrel nut, so you will have to remove it and replace with the one supplied with the rail of your choice. For the most part the barrel threads are 'standard' - however this is airsoft so expect outliers and shitty tolerances. Amazon sell various rails (now that Aliexpress have had a recent crackdown on Airsoft stuff) in keymod and M-lok varieties. They should - in theory - fit without too much trouble, just add a bit of grease on the threads to prevent galling and seizing.
  25. I normally use XT/Rocket/SHS and the like for internals bought saw these were a decent price so thought I would give them a go. Arrived next day from Bullseye Country Sport. Not used anything from FPS-Softair before, but the parts are apparently 'made in Italy'. I'm pleasantly surprised by the quality, but who knows about their longevity.
