Oh damn - I can't remember - sorry! I got three new guns in as many weeks (thank you lockdown) so the unboxings kinda blur into one.

Looks alright for a budget blaster. How is the receiver? Any front-end flex? I'm not the biggest fan of Specna, but would consider one of these as a backup/loaner with a few tweaks to the internals. I think he's referring to the very generic nature of your gun. One brick among many thousands of near-identical ones in a wall with nothing to distinguish it from the others. Or something like that.

No wobble on mine. I played my first post-lockdown skirmish yesterday and the gun performed nicely without any issues - I'm very pleased with it. I was playing at a CQB venue which is semi-only. There was another brand-new out of the box (completely stock) CM.045 there as well and I can testify that it worked well too - I was shot by it several times throughout the day. That is exactly what I intend to do:

Whoa, that is cool. I mean I know it wouldn't stack up against modern stuff (although it uses a V3 GB?), but when I saw that on DenTrinity what must be 20+ years ago, i thought it was the coolest thing ever. I would never own a P90 now, but back then I would of had one in a heartbeat. Because I was young and liked watching Stargate.

Yeh - I went with the 340FPS version - but you're right, it was just a cut-down spring - it was well done though and the gun is shooting a consistent 345fps. I reckon they ear-mark a certain number of them per consignment and downgrade ready for those who order as it's a popular model. Mine shipped really quickly after ordering - so I doubt they took it apart between ordering and sending.

@ThisKillaDTThere might be a Tippmann M4 owners group on Facebook, might be joining one and running it past them? You can't be the only one that's had this problem.

Delivery time is about 10 days give or take. Make sure you add your UKARA number to the order comments. TaiwanGun has a separate listing for the 340FPS version: https://www.taiwangun.com/en/electric/cm-045a-340-fps-cyma?from=listing&campaign-id=19

LMAO...I have to admit, I am a fan of Mr Herrera and his vids on the 'tube.

No problem. I hope you like it. 😜

Bearing in mind £130 will barely get you a Combat Machine in the UK, the gun is stonking value for money. Is it as nicely made as an LCT? - No, It's less than half the price, but on the other hand it's more than good enough for BB LARPwarz and a great canvas to build something very cool. I Krylon'd mine (shock! Horror!!) because...umm...it seemed like a good idea at the time. I mean, who needs resale value, right? My gun had a bit of stock wobble (cured with a bit of card on the back of the receiver in the hinge) . Upper hand guard was missing a small self-tapping screw into the wood. Fire selector kept coming loose until I used green Loctite (which is gonna be fun to remove). Small niggles, but easily fixed and I've had worse on far more expensive guns. I tested the gun with an SHS Hi-Speed motor, 20-22 RPS on a 7.4v LiPo. But the wiring isn't cut out for the amps and the fuse blew within a few seconds of testing. And it ate batteries. I would recommend no more than a 16TPA (SHS or Rocket Hi-Torque is Ideal). I will probably re-wire at some point with something like a WARFET - but it's not a priority at all. The gun points extremely well and from an ergonomic point of view fits me perfectly. The balance is a bit front-heavy but that's the nature of most AKs. I find it very satisfying to pick up and fondle - more so than M4's of which I own (and have owned) many. But on the other hand it could shit itself the very first time I use it - at which point I could be coming back here to describe what a pile of wank it is instead.

I have one. Not played with it yet, will be used on Sunday for my first post-lockdown skirmish. The new internals are pretty good - I've no plans to replace anything inside the GB until it breaks. Stock motor is torquey but a little slow (11-12 RPS on 7.4v LiPo). I have: - Replaced the hop rubber and nub (had a TM spare) - Removed the fuse and added deans connector - Changed the fire selector for this one - Re-shimmed and re-greased (to be fair it was decent enough on both counts out of the box) - Rocket 16TPA Hi-Torque I'm very happy with it so far. Can't comment on longevity yet though. Pics of the internals.

Am I missing something? Couldn't you just screw the buffer tube back into the receiver, forcing the bolt forward past the receiver split line?

Well played good sir. 🤣

It's a tough one. I've sold guns before to people with elapsed UKARAs or 'other' defenses (dun dun DUN!), but I knew those people from various interactions and other (non RIF) sales, seen pictures/videos of them playing, and have been long-established on the forums. Would I ever do the same to a zero-post new guy (or girl)? No way. (note - I'm aware my post count on here is relatively low - I migrated from the Z1 forums a little while back)

£400 for half a gun. Nice. I'm sure those are expensive parts...but 400 quid.

C02. Use the 15 quid difference in price towards the cost of a 16 TPA motor.

ICS Peleador. Does have an MLOK rail though so might not be old school enough for you. Fire-support are selling a 14in version for £152. https://www.fire-support.co.uk/product/ics-cxppeleador-sportline-airsoft-rifle-aegblack-sale-save-36 Very light and well balanced. Snappy trigger response (has a MOSFET). Bought mine as a loaner but it’s become my main gun. Much better than a Specna Core or even Edge. No need for internal upgrades really. Upper and lower gearbox means a spring change can be done in about 5 minutes. Also very handy for maintenance of the compression parts. Loads of spares available through Fire-Support too should you break anything. I’m seriously toying with the idea of buying another. Just my 2p. edit: Just noticed in another post you mentioned that you had ICS guns before, so you know the score with them. I will say that my Peleador does shoot much nicer (sound, trigger response and ROF) than my CXP-15 out the box. I’ve not torn the Peleador down yet to compare the internals between them, so it might be just down to better shimming and the MOSFET.

They come fitted to the Edge 2.0 series as standard.

Oh dear.... above retail (albeit with a handful of cheapo accessories) on some mediocre guns.

Ah, you mean the picture, not the advert. I think it’s an HPA gun.

I'm assuming in the buffer tube.

Confirmed - it is the barrel...

It can be for some - when I played paintball with mechanical guns (Autocockers), I was faster shooting with my middle finger than my index.

This was doing the rounds on social media recently: TBH, i don't know what's worse...the short barrel...or the short shorts...
