Hi, don't suppose anyone knows what figure I should be looking for:
VFC Fal, never skirmished sadly only plinked4 Mags, 1x leaky (ironically the one that came with it) rest fine
Floating valve & spare nozzle etc
Dread to think what I spent, never got to skirmish as time just ran away from me and never made the effort to sort out the floating valve thing to bring the fps down.

Mine was running at battle rifle power levels out of the box, so I'd be surprised if you get stuck with a MED . Mine is the S&T , other brands may be hotter.
Assuming yours is the S&T also , then mine is set for .30 BBs and lifts them easily on the stock hop . I would highly recomend changing the spring (again if it's the S&T) as the one they come with is horrible and kinks up inside the bolt.
If Survival airsoft is the one at Torrington it's my local site and very good. Decent bunch of folk there, very friendly and although people play hard, no one takes it too seriously . Used my Lee Enfield there 2 weeks ago and had a blast running it as a battle rifle.
Amazing thank you, mine is S&T sort of - was rebuilt with a few changes (metal loading fin thingy), no idea if the spring was changed will have to ask . This is the site I think https://survivalcombatgames.co.uk/airsoft-2, seems like it is the Torrington one so will defo check out.

Also knowing where your shots are going to land is essential as if the first shot misses you can't just walk the next shots onto target so if possible get in as much practice as possible. For example I know that Bodgeups spent 6 months practicing and only shooting targets before he actually took the bolt action into a game
Last of all (and possibly most importantly) I think many players go into sniping with totally unrealistic expectations, don't expect to be racking up "kills" from day 1.
Sweeto thank you.

Impulse bought an SMLE a few years ago and yet to try it out. I'm fairly sure its above the required FPS for it to be subject to MEG. I was hoping to use it at the next game day I go to but was looking to see if people had any advice for using it // BB weights // play style etc? I'm usually very much a run around like a headless chicken until I feel like throwing up game style, so will be quite the change from normal.
Also if anyone happens to have a strong opinion on any of these sites would be grand to hear before we go to try them

Gun is £220 brand new, assuming mags are the battleaxe ones at £11 new (£120.89), at 65% cost of new then it's around the mark at £221 so - Overall not bad, depends if shipping is included etc.
Just realised he said £250 not £220. He'll do shipping for free. Dya reckon still worth it?

Got you thanks for the info, will double check about feedback

Looking at buying a RIF second hand, reported as skirmished twice. Pics dont seem to show any defects. Does that sound about right price wise? Seller says he will also throw in some old Brit webbing & smock for 100

Unless your radio came pre-programmed on PMR446 channels (unlikely), I'd recommend when you get some spare time that that you re-programme your radios onto those licence free frequencies. Not that I am personally fussed about licences etc (and lets face it, the Baofengs don't comply with most of the other PMR446 rules) , but as the Baofengs have such a broad frequency range, there is a possibility that your signals could be interfering with other licenced frequencies that are used for somewhat safety critical operations (not the emergency services these days, but maybe e.g. hospital porters, warehouses, public transport, event security etc.). PMR 446 frequencies found in the bottom of this page if interested: https://www.radiotrader.co.uk/news/facts-about-licence-free-radios.htm#PMR446 Frequencies
cheers will check this out

2. We have been looking at radios and thinking for buying the baofengs, however if I recall accurately they required some sort of programming procedure that seemed complicated to us at the time.
3. Also where is the best places to purchase MTP outfits. We would prefer the MTP type. Some advice for the clothing accessories would be greatly appreciated.
Unsure of 1, but re/ 2 friends and I all use the baofeng UV5R and the ear piece it comes with. No programming required just pick a channel and go. Also has a handy lock key so when youre sliding around you don't end up on someone elses channel.
For MTP outfits, literally any car boot will have loads going cheap, same for virtually any milsurp store.
Just had a quick look at G&G CM16's which is what we all got as our starting rifles and holy fuck theyve increased in price.

Nice.
How much fettling was required to get the nose cap to fit? Thinking of doing the same to mine.
I dont have a real bayonet, but I did purchase a rubber replica from vintage airsoft (along with a rubber commando Dagger for a seperate ww2 loadout) , so at least I can skirmish with it
Crap pics I know, I took them late last night...
How much did the bayonet set you back & dont suppose you know if theyre selling anymore? The shop section on their website gives me an error. Just got myself one of these as a rebuild for just over £350, shoots 335 on .28s so it looks like I'll be needing to learn the ways of shooting from afar and also learn how far 30m is for the minimum engagement distance. I've only got the one mag at the moment, can't really see myself needing more than 2?

Accuracy and range is mostly a compression/hop setup thing.
You need consistent "volume" output and a good hop up rubber/patch that gives consistent spin to the BB.
The first can be easily addressed, it's mostly a matter of lubrication and replacement of o-rings (except for the nozzle, you may want a new one and it's an easy swap), the second is where it gets interesting:
You have four parts:
- Hop unit;
- Tensioner (or nub);
- Hop rubber (or R-Hop patch);
- Inner barrel
The only requirement I have for my hop units is to have a rigid hop arm (the main reason why I use Maxx units), it's more consistent and always applies the same amount of pressure.
The same applies to tensioners, nowadays concave tensioners are the way to go (either embedded into the hop arm or a separate piece like the Maple Leaf Omega) since they affect a larger area on the hop rubber than regular, tube shaped ones.
Hop rubbers come in all different shapes, materials and forms, it's mostly a matter of testing and finding out which one your gun likes the most, I've had good experiences with Maple Leaf Macarons. The same applies to hardness, most people like 60° rubbers, I had the best results with 70° ones.
Inner barrels don't need to be fancy, they need to be clean and straight. Given that your gun is a G&G Combat Machine I would still replace the stock one as it's horrible and made of pressed tinfoil, luckily for you ZCI makes some affordable 6.02mm steel barrels that are good quality too! Generally I found that wider barrels are more consistent, but ymmv
Thanks hugely, this is great info 😄

So I'm looking to get a new M4 (me poor old Cm16 has seen many better days) but I have spent a few days scouring patrol base and zero one but there are just too many and I feel like drowning in specna arms. I was wondering if anyone had any recommendations? With the ideal criteria being solid accuracy and range (I've grown sad watching my bbs harmlessly drop after 20m for the other guy to turn around and spurt a laser beam into me), AEG, and anything below £400.
Or alternatively, try and upgrade the CM16? I'm positively special when it comes to techy stuff (not in a good way) and have previously broken it while following instructions from patrol base over the phone lol. If I was to go down this route what would people recommend upgrading to help with that accuracy and range issue? RPM / trigger response time I really don't care about very much I just want to be able to have the bbs go a bit straighter & further lol
Thanks
[In my defence re/ it being an M4, all the kit & mags I have are based around the m4 and FAL and cant afford to change that now lol]

There is an ANZAC v VC game in May. You would fit right in mate!
There are a few who run as a separate ANZAC unit at some regular games too. If you were the only Aussie there, I'm sure some role could be improvised, but best clear it with the organisers to be polite.
Join the UK Namsoft FB group and you'll get the events advertised well in advance.
Nope. I have about three East German and two Rusfor kits and nowhere to go at the mo. My last full weekend game will be next weekend and then I'm back to filmsim days up the road. Although by the time I finished writing that sentence I'm bloody tempted...

Is this the group?

Sorry that's all you are getting. I am sure the event will be fine, its just one of the personalities behind the company I wouldn't touch with a barge pole
Admittedly new to the adult world but surely bad mouthing a company / person saying they're criminal but refusing to elaborate doesn't exactly help? Maybe its because I've got more skin in the game given the purchases, but if you wouldnt touch them with a barge pole surely its reason enough to say why...
--- Edit ---
Had a look around online and found what it is I expect you were referring to about one of the directors and now I understand why you didn't want to put it on a public forum. Like I said still learning lol

Personally, given who runs Frontline and his criminal history, I would rather book on with Satan himself. Gentleman has changed his name more times than I have changed socks.
A little history pls, have booked a milsim weekend and just bought a fal from them oh dear....

If you want to tag along, I expect that @RebelScum or I would be more than willing to buddy up with you for a first game. I play VC, Rebelscum plays US. Pick a side, sign up to the Facebook group appropriate, get help with kit, meet new airsofters, get pissed in the woods. It's all good fun.
Sierra Bravo Airsoft do the same type of games.
Awesome thank you I for sure would love to tag along. Dyou know if anzac impressions are allowed at the games kr is it on US?

That would be the .30 Cal we had. An amazing piece of kit put together by an incredibly talented engineer on our side. Great for spraying the trees when we couldn't who was shooting at us. There were a lot of dropouts unfortunately, but I have to say I had a great day, even with low numbers. It helped that everyone got into the theme, which I think is half the battle for filmsim.
Who was it that organised this? Am booked in for frontline events games coming up but these guys sound amazing and I'd love to see what stuff they do as well
