Not sure where you're based but Camoraids are now sticking Tag Innovation products & should have a fair bit of stock Now necessarily on there website but they definitely have stock Cyma M052 works fine with Tags Co2 over Green gas all day long, first experience with Tags was using Green Gas & had a high percentage of tags not flying far nor detonating, with Co2 no issues with either, with Co2 you'll need a filling station as well (FIST)

The 'What have you just bought' Thread
MikeMarden replied to Cameron364's topic in Guns, Gear & Loadouts
Decided to revisit the MP7 GBB platform as first time around never gave myself enough time to try & play. Bought from CamoRaids with their pre upgraded package which packs a mighty punch on 0.40 bb's Added the vortex red dot for daytime sighting, night time set up based on Zenitco Perst-4 & Klesch-2 attachments to accompany an NV monocular & Thermal imaging scope Ran this out last weekend at a Milsim during the night & the body count was high! -
Morning all Looking for some direction with looking after GBB Mags post game Previously had an MK23 & found looking after the mags post games was a bit of a mare with so many leaking Recently purchased a MP7A1 & keen not to have a repeat of leaky mags Is there a consensus view of how you should take care of the mags post games? Lots of different views / lots of different wives tales, common suggestions I've heard are: Leave the mags fully gassed Empty gas & half fill mag with maintenance gas Would be good to hear from you all as to what works for you / where you've had success post game maintaining the mags / mitigating leaks Thanks in advance for any first hand advice given

TM stocks across the board are quite thin at the moment Deliveries / shipments from the far East are taking longer than the usual turnaround times for the obvious reasons I've a couple of TM's on order with CamoRaids since early May, they've a massive TM delivery (£40K worth) within the next fortnight, saw Eagle 6 just had an overdue TM drop as well land last week, so whomever you're looking to order through I'd preorder as I'm sure the TM shipments once dropped will sell out quickly, especially what with sites now back open / reopening so demand will be high

Thanks buddy - New SRS is on its way to Jason @ Longbow as we speak, will have some more EdGi goodness being added. Now this is only my opinion, but I opted for Longbow over Skirmshop based on initial contact & service offered, so very glad I did, Jason Fergie has been a great support throughout SRS ownership & beyond, was the first person I reached out to upon buying another SRS yesterday -
Off Topic Airsoft Dreamers Chat
MikeMarden replied to Stratton Oakmont's topic in General Discussion
I'm quite fortunate Mrs M is ok with my Airsoft outlay, which at times has been considerable! However to keep her sweet whenever I make one of my more substantial purchases I always buy her a little treat - Goes a long way as does any form of bribery!! -
Hey buddy
Interested in the complete set up for £600.00 if its still available?
Let me know
Mike

Small tweak to the existing kit, added the Acetech Lighter BT Tracer. Carried out some testing recently & have to say am certainly impressedMy current tracer unit is a G&G rechargeable which has served me well, however this little fella is half the size / double the brightness output, so gets a huge thumbs up from me YT Footage can be seen here: To state, I'm not a YT creator so excuse shonky camera angle & even worse commentary, not an NV expert either so if my terminology if off then don't crucify me!!Footage was captured using a TM MK46 running at 1J, great news for this platform is that a selection of springs will be available within the next fortnight, so look forward to be able to increase power outputs. The NV recorder is an Unobtainium ANVRS, IR Pointer & Flood are both Zentico Perst-4 & Klesch-2, lastly NV Monocular is an Gen 3 ITT PVS14 Omni VII -
Gorger - Non Travelling individuals that marry into Traveller families, clearly my watching of My Big Fat Gypsy weddings has finally paid off 😆😆

I've been deliberating going back to the SRS platform given the latest Gen has just been released, whilst the HTI is a beast, for what he's offering / what's with the package - if it can be verified with whom supplied it then the price is reasonable. however the god awful paint job has me running to the hills so one I'll pass on by

I personally think it always depends on what type / level of Milsim is being run. For the Stirling / Tier 1 (If they even still exist) etc. then they are run by that independent company with their set of rules & usually based on neutral sites which they aren't affiliated too. This naturally will attract the invitees only / Milsim Teams / Milsim only players / Geardo's & Wannabe operators. By nature of their expectations of how previous events have been run or by way of how the event organiser has built up the event, then they'll be taking these events very seriously. It's when local sites run Milsim events which usually attract a bit of a mix, they'll have their regular Milsim attendees / skirmshers wanting to dip their toe into Milsim & usually a bunch of Stirling / Tier 1 individuals wanting to try other venues. This always causes lots of issues IMO. Stirling / Tier 1 mindsets turn up with their "serious expectations" for these events to operate like a Stirling, 9 times out of 10 they don't - Either they don't work with anyone outside their immediate team / Take it upon themselves to become drill sergeants & boss everyone else around, or like what I've seen a few times, get the hump, leave early & take to social media & slag the site off. Difficult because usually these guys have had an event hyped up to be serious, only for it to fall short of their expectations & the aforementioned is usually a by-product of that frustration There are middle ground Milsims - Would put Legion events somewhere in here, usually well organised, attracts for the majority of regular "local site" milsim players as well as your serious players but seems to provide a good balance. Me - I sit between the local & middle ground, enjoy the local events as they're just that, local vicinity & at a site I enjoy, however if I'm wanting a bit more of a serious event would venture out to a Legion for a more serious experience. Stirling for me, would rule out as I don't think I have the right mindset for one of these events & prefer it just a little bit more laid back.

Glad I'm not alone then! Yep, removed from the bulb end, all sorted & CR123 fits & working well Thanks Rocket & George 👍

Gonna give that a try - I could be shoe-ing here for world's finest dumbass award!!

Hi all Bit of a random plea for help please? Bought one of these recently https://www.ebay.com/itm/192941020277 Stated it needs CR123A battery, however tried this & the CR123A is too wide too fit, doesn't take AA or AAA's neither? Any ideas fellow airsofters? - Have just messaged the seller but likelihood is they won't know!! Thanks in advance Mike

Picked up an Unobtainium Gear NV recorder for my PVS-14 monocular. Really nice fitting eye piece clamp & simple to use. Will be giving it some testing tomorrow night along with a Thermal Scope with built in recording for some side by side comparison -

Few recent bits I've been waiting on finally arrived today: Zenitco dual pressure switch for the Klesch-2 & Perst-4 , again great quality & a nice little bit of kit allowing me to control / adjust the attachments as opposed to 2x separate switch attachments Additional MK46 Box Mag & Dummy bullet belt Tag Pecker MK2's - Dummy Tag grenades so I can get some practice without (literally) blowing up £7 a shot! - Helps in orange as well so I won't lose them! -

Just seen the ad - No price & offers direct to his phone 😂 Destined for Macks perhaps?! -
@Lee85 Playing the "I'm new to this forum" card but seemingly skip over the appraisals & jump straight to the for sale section to peddle your goods As any long term member would attest to, surely it's better to introduce yourself, if you're unsure on pricing instead of aiming high why put it to a consensus & ask for some opinions in the appraisals section? Whilst the Mack's dreamers can at times be harsh, has been around since 2015 so not new news & its a course correction for something which isn't deemed worthy of the asking price / potentially bordering on (dare I say it) a bit of a rip off at which point members are obligated to flag this to other members & newbs - Macks actually does this forum & it's members a service & credit Me for one value people's input & happy that people more educated on resell values than myself can offer others their steer & expertise. As a newbie yourself I'm sure you wouldn't want your pants pulled down over items overpriced, so take this as a recommendation to yourself - Your goods are overpriced & don't represent value for money, hence the watch out for other potential buyers.

Picked up a very sensibly priced Vortex Strike Eagle 1-6 x24 from a member on here Does the job very nicely, added a couple of the lens protectors as well Daytime set up for the MK46 now complete -
I had some 17mm diameter 3mm thick petg acrylics made, sits nice & snug & doesn't impact the laser or IR, mitigates it being shot out
-
It's an AEG - As far as I know zero plans for a Gas version. Went for the red laser, I was more after the IR pointer so the Perst 4 with red laser was the lower cost option!
-
Finally picked up a TM MK46 Mod 0. Bit of fettling done prior to picking this up today. Added a few external bits I picked up over the past few months: Zenitco Klesch 2 Dual IR / LED Zenitco Perst 4 PEQ Zenitco brightness adjustment pads FMA Gas pedal G&G rechargeable tracer unit Pulsar LRF Trail XP50 Standard Marui foregrip Thing is an absolute beast, will be running bare bones during the day / full up for night action

Hey buddy Attached pic of the Klesch which I bought This one has the IR Flood & visible flash, lense protector-wise this comes with an IR Filter which both coversany exposed red from the IR element. Visible-wise they come with a front lense cap protector which fits over the lense cap, however once that protector is up & light in use you could be exposed, however the Klesch will easily take a butler creek with sacrificial lens cap protector if that's the route you want Hope this help Mike -
