    Perhaps I was a tad harsh - but this isn't reddit - incorrect information needs to be stomped on quickly and firmly. And the subject has been covered ad nauseam - I couldn't be arsed to type out the same old bollocks about it. Next time I'll try to slightly nicer about it. 😉

    More info needed. Questions: - I'm assuming the gun you've got is one of the G&G TR16 308 derivatives? - If yes to the above, the two extra mags you ordered - were they G&G, or another manufacturer? - Have you inspected the inside of the magwell for any damage to the mag catch itself? Perhaps some pics would help.
  3. Speedbird_666
    Patently incorrect. Perhaps you should do a bit of research on the topic. There's plenty of threads knocking around on these very forums about the variable of barrel length in relation to overall accuracy.

    If you are talking about a standard V3 Switch/shuttle assembly then no, I don't think so. The gearbox shell is not a standard V3 from what I can see around the switch area. A simple cheapo Gate Nano-ASR (which is micro switch compatible with it's debounce function baked in) will remove the electrical stress on the switch though - it *should* significantly improve the life of the unit. Problem is, by the time you've paid £17-20 for a Mosfet (and not botched the install), you are only a few quid away from a better class of gun overall (i.e. Double Eagle etc.). So - if I was buying a G36 for myself, I would opt for the Specna just for the better quality plastics and with the intention of stripping/lubing/shimming/mosfet etc from the outset. But for a first AEG? Hands down JG/CYMA IMHO - from reputable dealer than chronos their guns before dispatch.

    Interesting. I'm literally 10mins from the site - but not played it yet for airsoft (played paintball there though). It's on my 'to-do' list, but UCAP Valiant is my favourite at the moment and I rather play in the prison for a few quid extra and an hours drive. I ran a bone-stock Cyma AKS-74U at Ironsight a couple of years ago (subsequently sold it stupidly) - the newer ones with blue internals were brilliant for the money (£120 in old TG prices). Gave up on glasses years ago - paintball googles with a fan for the win - no fog even with me wearing prescription specs underneath.
  6. Speedbird_666
    No mosfets in Specna G36s (OP was asking about the SA-G12 model) - just a microswitch which is not actually rated for the voltages/current that it will experience during Airsoft use.
  7. Speedbird_666
    Specna G36s are (early pre-EFCS) ARES/S&T clones - they use microswitch triggers. They don't last a long as traditional trigger switches (although a debounce enabled Mosfet will help) but are easy enough to replace. From the sample of 1 I've had eyes on - the plastic on the Specna is much nicer than JG/CYMA, more 'polymer', less ABS feeling. And remove the blowback shuttle - they are made of cheese and will break quickly (same with the ARE and S&T guns) Very comprehensive review here G36s just don't get enough love these days - a shame really, they are the only non-M4 gun I really like in terms of ergonomics.

    I was told by @proffrink that google has been basically nuking all emails that the forums send out. Until that is fixed - you're not getting any emails from the forums. And don't try and change your email address in your account settings - you will never receive the verification email and will be locked out from the forums.

    Sounds like we've got a new Mr_No_Face here. Full of piss'n'vinegar and holier than thou opinions. I miss him and his insults towards older players. Good times.

    Looking for a black M-LOK MVG Vertical grip. Legit Magpul or a good quality clone is fine. No painted or re-sprays - Factory Black only.

    Ouch. So only feasible for Distributors or big retail companies like Patrolbase - who had a turnover of £8.6m last year.

    Knew it. I know of two Imax B6 charger-related fires within a 5 mile radius of my house. One fire gutted a garage full of RC planes - the other an entire room of a house with all his RC cars with it. You were lucky.

    +1 for HobbyRC. Always had great service from them. I have a IDST D2 Mk2 which I like very much - but complete overkill for Airsoft batteries - I also use it for RC (Aircraft) packs so it justifies the expense for my needs. I would go SkyRC S65 if I didn't have an existing 12v DC Power supply, or the more feature-rich IDST Q6 Nano if I did. The SkyRC T100 is a basic, but compelling (for the price) option for dual-channel charging and worth considering @Pollynator_bravo2 What charger was it? Would love to find out.

    SOLD Bought these recently from a friend for use in my KWA gun, but I found they don't fit the magwell quite as well as KWA's own Mid-Caps (go figure) - hence selling on. Good condition - being sold as a pair (not individually) so the price is for both mags, and includes Postage and PayPal fees.

    £28

    In an era where G&G Raiders are £220 now (like - WTF, seriously G&G?!?) - this is still a pretty good deal for a full-metal 'long' rifle with reasonably well regarded internals. Not quite the bang-for-buck of the 904x series though.

    Before I go balls deep and buy a stack of new ones, I thought I would check here to see if anyone had any they wanted rid of. I'm after KWA MS120 Midcaps. Black or the newer funky Ice blue ones are fine. Must be fully working, structurally sound and with the extended followers intact. Ta muchly.

    Nice one - thanks for that info.
  18. Speedbird_666
    None that I know of (I'm in Christchurch, so the forest is only 5mins away for me) - but if you join the Facebook group Dorset Airsoft Community - there's a couple of Techs on there. It also depends on which side of the Forest you live - If it's the Southampton end you might be able to find a tech or shop that can do it in Hampshire. What are you looking to 'upgrade'? Some things such as hop rubber/units/barrels are simple to do yourself, motors are relatively straightforward - depending on the Specna model (Edge grips don't like aftermarket motors much).
  19. Speedbird_666
    In the market for a new ('not-an-M4') RIF and I keep circling back to this one and it's now on my 'short-list'. Question is - how is the Falcon ETU at handling 11.1v LiPos out of the box? How has the unit generally held up with use?

    WITHDRAWN No Longer For Sale Arrived today from AliExpress. Looks fine, construction is pretty decent - certainly good enough for LARPsoft and BBwarz. Colour a close match to Viper's 'Titanium Grey' and a Viper Vx Utility rig does mount onto it - however the buckles are not compatible with the Viper VX straps - I think they are actually ITW Nexus compatible (and Viper is not) but haven't got any to check. Selling as I can't be bothered to cut off, buy and replace all the buckles.

    £18

    £150 for a re-sprayed, ex-boneyard gun with missing bits (rear sight and stock battery cap) - that used to be sold (until recently) for £120-140 new.....oh, you also have to cover the postage. There's far better BRAND NEW guns for that money.

    Nope. Completely different designs. Army Armament R85: Source: Video V3 Trigger Switch: *Edit* - the Army Armament is a direct clone of the G&G L85 - you should be able to use a G&G switch unit

    Are you in some way connected to Minerva? Because your pictures are of the exact same rig as what’s on the Minerva website as used in the product pictures, down to the camo splotch placement on the Velcro and front laser cut Molle panels, the Tan 5.56mm magazines and the pistol mags. Not trying to be funny about it, but there have been hacked accounts of experienced users recently trying to scam people with non-existent products. If you are legit, the please accept my apologies. If I had the cash I would have it off you in a heartbeat.
