    The GBBR Thread

    Sooooo. . . your gun is bang on the 350 limit on an average day, but you find its running hot on a warm day. Out of curiosity has anyone tried a mix of green gas and 144a? Say 5 seconds squirt of each gas into a mag (or whatever)? What were the results?

    DIY

    I've had a cheapo £15 chest rig for a while now and worn it at a few skirmishes instead of my usual Webtex tac vest or M56 webbing, and actually quite like it, with 4 double mag pouches and 2 utility pouches plus large internal map pocket it holds a fair bit. However 2 issues were nagging at me...

    ICS AR / M4 / M16 Flash Hider 14mm CCW @ £15.00 (For my Galil SAR as its nearer the correct early type than a birdcage) Strike Mount (M4/M16) higher mount base @ £15.00 (to raise my Vector Condor 2x42 sight instead of a carry handle mount) From Firesupport.

    The GBBR Thread

    My AKS74U came with a speedloader attachment which makes loading easier (once I'd practised a fair bit and the springs had bedded in) but unless held a certain way the adapter had a habit of detaching from the speed loader so I've glued it on now. Best GBB mag for loading that I've seen is the...

    Evelyn: The Owen gun build (picture heavy)

    Superb work there, and I hope it wins the AI Mag comp. Their blurb iirc states along the lines of it should be something unique and NOT just a gun with a heap of bolt-ons thrown at it so it should be in with a chance?

    DIY BB catcher / stopper

    Made a similar thing from a cardboard box about 45cm square, lies on side, flaps at open end of box glued so that the bottom one slants up slightly preventing bbs rolling out. I use a couple of old tea towels hung from a piece of electrical wire across the back as a backstop and another wire a...

    Quick Questions & Simple Answers.

    Try Firesupport, they do a lot of ASG spares but couldn't see the part on a quick search but I'm sure could get them. Failing that they do spare mags £21 (in stock). edit they do have mk23 GBB lips in stock but I suspect they could be different to the NBB lips you need.

    First loadout advice

    Welcome to the forum! If £60 is your budget then as said above forget a pistol, you can buy a Double Eagle M56 shotgun in that price, its tri shot (so 3 bb's fire at once), spring powered pump action, with good range and accuracy, mainly plastic but with some metal parts, several guys on here...

    AK picture thread! :)

    Have you had a chance to chrono your 74 Chock? Mine was putting out upward of 400fps on green gas/propane with 0.2s but got it down to sub 350 now (indoors at 20 deg), by fitting thin plasticard spacers to the rear of the blowback valve where it sits against the cross pin which keeps it place...

    Cyma V3 cylinder head issue

    it does seem V3 boxes are less standardised than V2 ones, I recently replaced a smashed Double Eagle UMP gb case with a Classic Army one and bought a fair few SHS/Core parts to put in it at the same time. Hardly any fitted as I expected them too (including the cylinder head, tappet plate and...

    tm colt 1911 gas

    If you mean the CO2 mags which hold a CO2 bulb they won't fit as the TM 1911 doesn't have the cut away area inside the grip unlike some others which are designed to use them, also as said above the pressure would likely destroy the gun the first time it was fired. I use green gas in mine and...

    Gun picture thread

    Very true. For me it was something I only really appreciated after I got divorced. I was upfront with my girlfriend of 4 years and she has no problem with me "going out to play" or the amount of stuff I have lol! That said we don't live together (yet) due to various reasons (space for my gear at...

    Custom battery packs

    Component Shop def will do a standard 7.2v battery, had one made for mine, nice to see someone else with a Marushin Uzi! Just email them a pic. Think it was about £16 a couple of years ago. Wouldn't mind another couple of mags and a piston if you ever sell any lol! edit its a 4 over 3 cell with...

    New player - with a question...

    Welcome to the forum! The MPL takes me back, I had one circa 1990, AA batteries in the front end and a gas reservoir in the pistol grip, cost me £65 at the time lol, used it with a gun tank air cylinder which screwed into the gas inlet (after removing the valve) and pumped with a stirrup handle...

    Ed, Let's play a game

    Nice. At least you have one Ian, been looking for one for ages without luck, seen a couple but for silly money (albeit with real deal wood stocks, and one with a genuine SUIT sight). Heard a few tales of woe about them too. Hey ho hopefully Ares will do a run of them at some point. :)
