    M14 Scope mount and scope advice

    I have a G&G mount on my Marui M14, the shop I bought it from said it wouldn't be a straight fit but could be made to fit, basically its the relationship between the mounting hole on the side of the mount and the dovetail at the rear which varies slightly between makes. Had to file the...

    Chronic Query - dumb question

    They will ask you to fire a few bb's through the chrono, which they will probably give you (or a M4 mag pre loaded if your gun is compatible). If they let you use your own bbs they will expect you to be honest about what weight they are. They will probably take an average figure over 5 to 10...

    Accuracey Problems with G&G RK-104

    From what you say it could be the air nozzle to hop rubber relationship is a tad too tight, so yes it seals well but with each shot its hitting the hop rubber more than it should. This could result in the hop rubber moving/compressing by a small amount each shot which may explain the shot to...

    Echo1 Spectre/GAT ---- Spectre m4?

    No but fairly recent, guessing about 3 or 4 issues back, they were supposedly doing a review and an article on upgrading it but I missed it. Might be worth checking the AI website or Facebook page

    Echo1 Spectre/GAT ---- Spectre m4?

    The AY Spectre has been around a few months now, the FPS is quoted only around 260-280fps from the "AY V3 Custom gearbox". That and the fact it has no folding stock option puts me off at the moment,also the fire selector functions as the safety, with the de-cocking lever on the opposite side...

    Anybody had any experience of the STAR Dragon?

    Airsoft World sold 2 tone green versions a few years back, they christened it " bogey on a stick"!

    cosmetic pistol upgrading?

    Try Firesupport: http://www.fire-support.co.uk/category/pistol-slides-and-frames/ Although most aftermarket slides/frames are designed for TM guns so you'd need to check fitment etc, but these guys are very knowledgeable, if not the cheapest.

    Royal Mail

    Just a heads up on Parcelfarce, their 48hr tracked & signed for service has gone up stupidly above 2kg. Last time I used it it cost about £6, posted the other day and it was over £12, even the guy in the Post Office agreed its ludicrous. Keep it just under 2kg and its under £4. Not impressed.

    paypal airsoft guns not covered

    contact your bank / card company you paid through paypal with as said above is your best bet. Second hand private sales aren't covered by the same rules as buying new from a retailer though when it comes to consumer rights.

    2 Tone BB guns at skirmishes

    There are usually a few 2 tones at my local site, no one seems to mind, though by lunch, often the awful JBBG 200fps cheapos are scattered round the safe zone and regs spare guns and any spare rentals get dished out! :-)

    Ics m41a fuse keeps blowing on full auto

    Tokyo Marui are the best regarded out of the box pistols for skirmishing, you won't go far wrong with any of them as long as you don't mind them being all plastic. They shoot extremely well and cycle quickly, plus work better in winter due to the plastic slide. If you must have a metal slide...

    TBB's in pistols.

    This. Upgrading and spending a fortune to make a target / practical pistol is one thing but if its for skirmishing I can't see a lot of point. That said I have fitted a 6.03 Madbull barrel to my Marui 1911 (custom bodged from a length of AEG barrel left over from another project), I won't say...

    Transporting parts across borders

    Keep it in the original packaging if possible which will show its an airsoft specific slide as opposed to maybe appearing to be a firearm part.

    Reenactor to airsofter

    Some places advise they will take re-enactors membership as entitlement to purchase, off the top of my head Actionhobbies and Soldier of Fortune will, so long as you can prove entitlement (AFRA registration etc).

    New to Airsoft experiences.

    It might be worth dropping Paypal a line as guest transactions through them to a retailer ought to be covered by their buyer protection, hopefully you should have a record of the transaction ID. Never heard of Mark 1 before but the fact they haven't emailed you at all is worrying.
