    ICS tappet plate issue?

    Sorry for delayed update.  . . .  Put the original nozzle back in and changed the cylinder for the original too. The new cy6muat be fractionally bigger as the case now closes easier and the top strip slides on without the use of a hammer!  It also shoots but only with the supplied hi-cap steel...

    ICS tappet plate issue?

    With the new aluminium nozzle, it was noticeably too big but the one in the video is the original. Hop rubber is a maple Leaf but doesn't seem to protrude off the barrel any more than the stock one. I'll swap it out for the original later and try again.

    ICS tappet plate issue?

    Don't think so. It still needs a good pull to attach it to the frame.

    ICS tappet plate issue?

    I bought it off here as an ICS so I presume it's all oem.  Had to Google that! Lol No, not got one of those, just a standard gear. Here is a slow motion video of down the feed tube. 20250224_220824.mp4 To me, it looks like it's just not retracting enough?  What you said about the fin...

    ICS tappet plate issue?

    G'day chaps and chapettes,  I've hit another problem with my AK74M.  I've fitted the new piston set and compression is much better but now the BBs won't feed. At all! Set was piston, head, cylinder and nozzle from @ak2m4 After the bazillionth time of stripping and checking everything is sat...

    AK Photo Thread

    Bought this bad boy, off here, last week. It's an ICS AK74M. It's currently in pieces while I'm sorting out a feeding issue after upgrading the piston set.

    Spare part in AK hop unit

    No, its like a tiny piece of rubber tubing. Good call but it feels a little too rubbery for it to be heatshrink. This makes sense. After another look at the bucking I've taken off, you can see that it is deformed around the nub area. So I presume that it sat under the nub. Thanks all.

    Spare part in AK hop unit

    Good afternoon chaps and lady chaps, I've got my ICS AK74M in pieces to upgrade a couple of parts. The piston, head and associated bits are winging there way to me so as I had a Maple Leaf 60 Macaron hop rubber sat there, I've thrown it on. Now, I've took the hop unit apart and there is a spare...

    Tango Down Airsoft

    My sprogs and I popped in here today, just for a nosey. Very nice little shop with enough of just about everything you'd need. Cheap aswell.  Oh, and there is a full time Time Crisis arcade machine in the shop that works! For 5 minutes I was 16 again.

    I do do that too, shout good shot and give them a thumbs up. I'm sure it encourages a good attitude in the game.

    Magazines - should I buy Hi, Mid or Low cap?

    I prefer mid caps as I hate the rattle of high caps. I'm not stealthy or anything,  it just annoys me. Oh, and I kept forgetting to wind up high caps and wondered why it wasn't shooting anything! Lol I carry 6 mid caps but rarely use more than 3 or 4 per game.

    Perun V2 Hybrid trigger issue

    Completely forgot to update this! Bought a standard m4 trigger off patrolbase and it, pretty much, all slotted together perfectly. It's back to shooting like a dream.

    Help needed - Really want to start Airsoft BUT..

    My style of play, generally, puts me right at the tip of the action in CQB and woodland, nothing like being in the thick of it. I really wouldn't worry too much about the effective range of your rental gear, just play the type of game you want to play and get stuck in. Saying that, HC2 is a...

    Help needed - Really want to start Airsoft BUT..

    Welcome @WillMidz Just to throw my tuppence in, and echo what everyone has said, great sport, very addictive, cqb really is a lot of fun and will leave you scarred. I have some on my right forearm from a couple of indoor games last June/July. If you're happy to wear them like a badge of honour...
