    LCT AK rotary hop unit compatibility

    Evening Don't suppose anyone has slapped one of these into your generally available brand AKs (CYMA, G&G, TM, E&L etc) Thinking about replacing the default cast G&G hop in my GKM. Worst case will just buy one and see for myself, but thought there might be some xp floating...

    Asian retailer Checkout w/ over 50% of RIF externals

    Evening all, Was about to checkout some parts with an HK based retailer, but paused when I saw that the entirety of the basket could be construed as the majority of the externals for a RIF M4 Receiver M4 pistol grip M4 outer barrel & extensions M4 M-lok Hand guard (some other...

    Purchasing an accessory from a RS retailer - risk assesment?

    Afternoon all,  I am eyeing up this - when and if it comes back in stock I may pick one up. But I am feeling a little cautious about the implications of purchasing/importing from a real steel accessory retailer (imagining firearms component scrawled over the parcel description ?) I...

    Industry pricing by BB weight

    Evening all, long time no see ?️ - hope you're all well! So, I'm only noticing now the price jump between .32 to .36 gram BBs, as I've never actually used above .3 myself. Anyone know exactly why that is? Off the cuff, I can think of three possibilities: - Less sale and production...

    Sourcing Gearbox Shims

    To quote 'Burt Gummer' in Tremors 2: "I am completely out of ammo....   that's never happened to me before"  Searching through my little tub of shims, I cannot find a single sliver (0.1mm).. and there has gotta be at least a hundred in there! I don't think I've had to stock up on these in a...

    Pinion to Bevel Shimming

    I had the CA M15 open the other day - I run a Lonex ultimate GB and an A3 motor inside it (So maybe not so CA any more.. though that's how it started off life). I noticed that the pinion gear was starting to see a little wear - nothing that will take it out of action any time soon however it...

    Mk18 Overhaul - Bit of a Fail

    I was pretty excited to break down my MK18 mod 0 for the first time in a few years, service it and install some new bits n bobs. Did the same a couple of weeks ago to the MP5, while that went flawlessly, this did not. This is more of an after action report than a request for specific bits of...

    Sig P228 / P229 Configurations

    I picked up an upper, lower and an extra 4 mags for an F228 (P228) on eBay the other day. I now have 8 mags total... can't wait to run these as primary next time I go to either GLG in Brum or Epsom tunnels. I already had the F299R (P229 with a rail lower). But these two are essentially the same...

    Maple Leaf Vs Tnt - AEG Hop Rubbers

    I tend to either use ML Macaron green/yellow with an omega nub, or flat hop by modifying a standard rubber and making a nub out of eraser. More and more these days i tend to just go for ML as it's just quicker and easier and the results are decent. Having said that, my most accurate and...

    Guess the Weight of Tackle's Airsoft P0rn-stash

    Perhaps we could play a little boredom induced, lockdown game.  @Tackle is trying to get rid of a bunch of "Airsoft" magazines, though this could be code...  If Tackle is willing to oblige and has access to a set of scales... then the one who get's closest to the actual weight gets... I dunno...

    Dust / Mud Spray Job Advice

    Hello there! For a while now i've been thinking about attempting a realistic battlefield dusted look on either my M733 or sopmod/Knights M4A1. I'm not particularly experienced when it comes to spray jobs. When i've done them they have always been solid colours, no dusting or stenciling. I...

    Doodling / Sketching Thread

    Sadly I don't sketch as much as i used to, but most of my work pads have guns, tanks, planes, soldiers, dinosaurs, snakes, storm troopers, Boba Fett, star wars and star trek ships, Xenomorphs and predators all over them  :rolleyes: I thought maybe a thread for some arty stuff might be nice -...

    Optics for old school AKs

    This is a matter I have battled with ever since I bought my G&G GKM. I am a bit of a ‘nyet rifle is fine’ kinda guy when it comes to this topic – I generally think Aks look best in the bare bones configuration – especially if we are talking with wooden furniture. My first AK was a CM028S...

    The wrong Mosfets / Not really Mosfets !?!

    So I've been making my own mosfets for about a year now, I used YT and this guide http://unconventional-airsoft.com/2009/08/26/how-to-make-a-basic-mosfet-switch/ My knowledge of circuitry or electrics is not that great, however I understand some basic concepts including what mosfets do, what...

    Star Wars: The Clone Wars

    Any Star Wars fans rejoicing at the return of TCW? Just watched the first episode of the new final season - thoroughly enjoyed it! Looking forward to see some CW era closure to the story arcs of Rex, Ahsoka, Darth Maul and perhaps some of the other prominent Jedi as we get closer to order 66...

    Ares extension buffer tube compatibility

    Hiya, My brother recently bought his first AEG... its a CA Nemesis with a PDW style stock. The battery space is extremely limited; he has a couple of 1000mah 11.1v sticks from component shop but he would like to have a little more space. CA do their own extension sector but only seems...
