If it's the EFCS (not the sportlines) - it's almost certainly made by Ares. There will be a barrel nut to undo (much like an M4) and then the barrel can be pulled off the receiver. unlike an airsoft M4, it uses several (8?) splines to locate into said receiver. The various length outer barrels seem simple enough to get from HK vendors. Edit - eh? That's a new one on me. Got any pics?

I designed one a few years back, and printed a prototype to test airflow - but preferred a goggle-mounted fan solution so never developed it any further V2 was to be fully enclosed with an integrated battery to go in a counterweight pouch.

I've seen users post short vids (measured in seconds rather than minutes) when troubleshooting a problem (i.e. rough sounding or misfiring gearbox etc.) but anything longer I would suggest hosting on YouTube and linking on here instead.

Coincidentally - the last registered forum user was also on the 18th Jan - @Jedi_Master indicated that @proffrink suspended new registrations until a new spam solution could be implemented. I wonder if that is related to your issue?

Account > My Attachments. 100Mb is the allocated amount per user. Not aware of an upload limit - but unless you have large PDFs or similar I don't see why your upload would be anything other than Kbs rather than Mbs, especially if you follow Mr McSpoons example and optimise the images beforehand.

Here we have a 'Not a trader - honest!' advert for a JG G36c that's £20-30 more than retail:

Have new registrations been suspended @proffrink & @Jedi_Master? No new members in the last 20 hours - testing on a different browser, I can't see a button to register.

The spam is being cleared within minutes, rather than hours of posting. That's not the issue really. The issue is the fact that the spammers can register and fill the boards up very quickly - which goes back to the original point of this thread - is there any mechanism to vet the new threads created before appearing to the wider masses? I know that other forums have this mechanism - particularly for use of the classifieds/Sales (airgunforums springs to mind - every new sales thread is invisible to everyone until approved by admin). I would rather a new member has a short probationary period, even if that's just a handful of posts to acertain that they are legit airsofters.

@Shamal works on my mobile... Might be time to upgrade that old Nokia... 😜

@Shamal Enter the @ symbol in the normal text bit, and start typing the username. A list should pop up with the applicable user names that you can click on.

@ symbol + our username. Should auto-populate a list to select the user.

I've done 3-4 today I think, the latest a couple of mins ago. Spam mods don't get the reports. If in doubt, tag one of us in the thread and we'll pick it up when we next log in (unfortunately we can't setup email notifications for mentions).

Yeh - that's new. Looks like they've trimmed the original Edge 2.0 line back quite a bit looking at Specna's site (there were about a million handguard combination/models at one point) Edge 2.0 previously had 'conventional' receivers and receiver extensions - maybe Edge '2.5' would be a better description for these?

That's not an Edge receiver - at least not a 'traditional' M4 Edge reciever - that looks like a completely different OEM (specna makes nothing themselves, it's all outsourced to various companies such as AIM TOP, E&C etc). In this case the spring guide forms part of the receiver extension. Sorry, Can't help with this one - that receiver extension is proprietary and will require a bespoke design...

It's 3d printed. The STL file can be found on Cults3D (search Specna Edge 15 degree drop stock). Can't link here because that would be a bit naughty.

If it's an Edge 1 or 2.0 - the removable spring guide should be threaded for the buffer tube screw anyway. The drop stock adapter screws into that. Source: Designed my own drop stock adapter for a Specna Edge a few years back - worked fine.

You can report their advert if you feel that it's dodgy. I have reported this particular individual.

This is a bit of a guilty pleasure for me at the moment. And it's AI generated - which makes it all the more 'wrong': And there's this Tool cover which I actually prefer to the original:

Interesting. I've only done the Bunker once with @Shamal back in 2022 I think. It was good fun, if somewhat intense (my boys flat out refused to go based on YouTube vids). I drive past it semi-regularly now that my eldest is at Portsmouth uni - I keep meaning to throw some kit in the car and do one of the evening games. I personally prefer Valiant (not that i've played much in the last 12 months) - it's pace and style of play works better for me and the venue itself is amazeballs. I had heard on FB of changes coming with UCAP in terms of the management and operation of the sites - it'll be interesting to hear what they are doing with the others.

Just to note - we don't get those reports. Everything that we Spam Mods clean up is as a result of regularly checking the forums throughout the day. The reports go to the 'proper' moderators.

Well, compared to last year, the Spam is being dealt with much quicker. Previously, we were reliant on the legacy admin/mods to clean up the spam which made the forum unusable at points. Since the appointment of Spam Moderators, the Spam has been dealt with in minutes rather than hours. I think there is more that can be done (hence starting this thread) but we are still in a better place than 12 months ago. I believe 4 spam mods were originally appointed: @Tackle, @RostokMcSpoons, myself and Rocketdogbert (who no longer seems to be a forum member? Anybody know happened there?)

I average 4-5 a day, including preemptive bans on new users (some are easily identified). Just banned my first actual spammer for today.

What is the product, and what is the problem with it?
