    There's a woodlands field in Billericay Essex. My favourite outdoor field that is. They do two Saturdays and two Sundays a month.

    No full auto

    I'm pretty sure it's the selector plate. The reason that the trigger cannot be pulled when you switch it to full auto, is that the lever it engages doesn't fully pull it up enough to give clearance for the trigger trolley. I presume that it's leaving it half way, and in that position it's...

    Need info on this M4

    Oh yeah It was probably a M16 I saw that didn't have a removable carry handle. I'm not really into the platform so I didn't take much notice of the specific model :)

    Need info on this M4

    King Arms is a very underrated brand IMO. They have a great balance with nice externals without compromising any internal reliability. They're also TM compatible so you really cannot go wrong. The carry handle is detachable on most most M4s except a few sportsline varients I think. I'd...

    G&G GK5C - thoughts?

    I do actually like it. Would I go out and buy one? Probably not, but like Ed mentioned props to G&G for listening to their customers. Signs of a quality brand.

    Increasing my gun's range?

    Before you invest in barrels mate you should address your hop up and compression first as they are the most important factors in how your BB behaves. Also, a tighter bore doesn't necessarily mean tighter grouping. There are barrels out there with a bore in the 6.10-6.20 region that cost £100+...

    ICS and G&G M4 mag question

    Just be a little careful when dealing with ICS and KWA because of their proprietary nature. It's best to stick to TM compatible stuff in general unless ofcourse the gun in question is a ICS or KWA.

    what do you guys think of my first gun)

    It looks pretty nice I think, I like the Mapgul MOE look and the fact you can put rails onto the handguard. I thought sport lines would come with some ABS plastic, but if it's full metal then it was a pretty good buy.

    Tech Service - A Genuine Cheaper Alternative

    Hey all I have realised that loads of people develop problems in their AEGs but aren’t really left with many options but to go to their local stores, which can often be expensive. Sometimes the cost doesn’t fairly represent the actual work that was carried out. Being a tech I’ve known of simple...

    m4 questions

    Oh then that's not the problem. Need to look at and address your bushings, shimming and angle of engagement. If it's not the stock piston, it may be off spec to the gearbox which would create resistance as it moves back and forth so the contact points with the sector gear are under more stress.

    MOSFET for my gun

    Unlocking is so simple mate. You don't even need to open the gearbox up. Just remove the motor and pistol grip, get a small screwdriver and pull the anti reversal latch back and kabaam. Your piston will reset. Also, if you have a basic mosfet installed and use an 11.1v lipo, it'll have more than...

    places to buy in the bucks area

    Solid advice from Ed. It also gives you an opportunity to check out the different platforms i.e. AKs, M4s, G36s etc so when it comes to pulling your wallet out, you know which feels good when shouldered and other general aethetics.

    MOSFET for my gun

    There are other ways to avoid the lock up, or may them a rare occurance at the least. If the gears are well shimmed+greased and the piston assembly well lubed too, it becomes less load/resistance for the motor. You can then install a basic Mosfet from Air Fet (9-10 quid+shipping) and use a 11.1v...

    m4 questions

    What spring and what battery are you currently using? The wear looks like premature engagement. Failed bushing is also likely.

    Some advice please

    Sniper rifles and DMRs cannot be bought out of the box mate. Their stock range is no more than any decent AEG so you'll be out gunned. It takes alot of money, knowledge and patience to get it shooting well enough to be considered fit for purpose. IMO a DMR isn't a DMR unless you're getting...

    Ehobbyasia and airsoftclub are 2 HK retailers I can vouch for. You'll get it within 2 weeks no matter what the order.

    high caps / flash mags?

    What it is is that companies like ASG contract out stuff to be oem'd so they are designed but not made by lonex. Hence quality control can be hit and miss, my experience with lonex flash mags personally has been very good. Never had one break on me.

    Range upgrade

    Yep you heard right, different length barrels require different volumes of air out of the cylinder. If you look on firesupport.co.uk, you'll find prommy cylinders with their recommended barrel sizes. I send you to this particuloar website as they have the best user friendly labelling of their...

    Gearbox Upgrade

    Airsoft-Ed has basically touched on the main points. In a gearbox, there are 2 main aspects, the drive train and air seal components. The drivetrain consists of the motor, pulling the gears, that pull your piston back onto the spring. So the more tension your spring as, the harder the pistonhead...
