Hi Speedbird, Yes, Poole Road, Bournemouth now, so quite close to ZO.  As I said I'm out of the loop, so rely on what was normal 7-10 years ago when I was still playing. I have plenty of new piston O rings curtesy of Airsoft World, but couldn't see and cylinder head O rings on their website, so...

Didn't have a new cylinder head O ring, but used a trick I was shown years ago to wrap PTFE tape around the cylinder head where it fits in the cylinder and refit the O ring over that.  Makes a very tight seal.  That isn't leaking.  I've stripped it again today and removed and cleaned the piston...

Hi,  not been on here for a long time, but have a problem.  I gave up airsoft about 7 years ago, but kept a fairly new G&G CM16 - 8L after I sold most of my other kit.  My grandson has started airsoft and I've loaned him the rifle until he's 18.  It started off fine, but over the last 6...

Single shot is no problem.  Try getting hit in the balls by a full moscart shell fired at about 10 feet.  Hurts like hell!!

Not heard of a target board before, but I would imagine something that clever would be expensive.  As for night vision, telescopic night vision scopes that are very good are in four figures (so probably above €1500.  The cheapest I've seen are about €350 and, whilst they work, are not that good...

It's a while since I had one of these, but I think Monkeywrencher is correct.  I'm sure the "nozzle" at the end of the CO2 container holds the valve mechanism and it's the action of this hitting the end of the new replacement piston head that releases a small amount of CO2, sufficient to send...

One of the problems of playing in the rain, especially woodland, is not hearing or feeling hits.  Years ago I was out with some old DPM plastic waterproofs, standing under foliage and getting dripped on quite loudly ever second or so.  Got called out from someone about 30 yards away for not...

It could be the motor is over-spinning the gears past the cutoff point, or the trigger contacts could be sticking.  It might be worth putting an AB mosfet in the line to cut down on trigger points burning and stop the over-spin on semi.

Check with NE as all our local bus companies prohibit the transport of "guns" on their vehicles.

If you want to get away from the usual rifles, why not go total Brit and get an SA80.  Uses M4 mags, so someone on your team will usually have a spare if you run out and they are easy to work on with the split gearbox.  It doesn't take too much to turn one into the current A2 version with the...

Just a thought, but is everyone overthinking the OP's question? 1.  He doesn't need UKARA registration, which is mainly the defence for buying a RIF.  He already owns one and there is no UK law that says you cannot own a RIF. Even a sub-18 YO can be gifted one. 2.  His situation is really no...

What FPS were you getting before you changed things?  If it was better then some of the parts may not be optimal for your rifle, or could be causing an air leak. Check what you have before possibly spending money on parts you may not need.

By public transport do you mean a bus?  If so, be aware that some bus companies will not take weapons of any kind, even if in a covered gun bag or case. Best to disguise it completely if this is your means of transport, rather than get refused or chucked off.

If you think that is heavy you do not want to try the M60. When I was playing regularly I had team mates who had both.  The M249 was just about useable for an hour or so, but the M60 really needed to be on a fixed point or vehicle mount. It just wasn't a practical "carry" option.

Yes, you will need to buy a new contact set.  As to mosfet, I'm not sure as there are far more available now than when I did mine in 2011/12. However, I just had a look online for the R85A1 trigger unit and G&G are not showing it as a replacement part any longer, so unless someone in the UK...

The AA L85 suffers from burnt out trigger contacts.  I've had three of these in the past and all had the same problem.  You can buy replacements from G&G that are a direct replacement for the AA trigger contact.  I bought mine direct from G&G quite a few years ago, but if I remember...

Unless the gearbox is fitted with a microswitch, it could be that the moving contact is worn and allowing the trigger to push past it so that it does not move far enough forward to connect with the fixed contacts.  Also the fixed contacts can get burnt out and not allow current to flow to the...

I suspect a lot will depend on how you are actually moving to the UK.  If you are flying, then all the above information is sound, as trying to bring all your kit in on a plane can cause problems.  If you are going to come overland via ferry, or Eurostar, then, depending on how much you are...

Worked fine for me.

I think you may well be right.  I'm sure one of mine didn't fit properly on an AK, but did on my SVD.  That said, in the end I bought a POSP for my SVD, which fitted perfectly and was centered.  Bit more expensive though.
