    Stretching mag pouches

    Hey guys, just a quick question. What would be the best way to 'stretch' a magazine pouch? They're just a little tight with my pmags is all. Not sure what brand the pouches are, they're just generic velcro closed top pouches though. I've read about soaking them in water with the magazine in...

    Utility of gas rifles on the field

    Leaning more and more towards a gas powered rifle as they look to be a lot of fun! I would like to get the opinions of a couple of gas users before I do though. Of course, they have much lower capacity magazines than your average electric gun, do they actually have a fair chance in most...

    Plate carrier in the gym!

    Started my fitness journey a few weeks back (getting tired of the ol' spare tyre) and to my surprise, someone was wearing a black plate carrier while training!  I assume it had some kind of weighted plates or a similar substitute. Guess it kind of looked like a 5.11 TacTec? I know weighted...

    What is the point of long rail systems?

    Quite new to this so I am still just trying to figure a few things out. Been seeing more and more of these super long rail systems in airsoft lately, usually for the AR type RIFs. What is the point of a rail system that extends all the way to the end of a 16" barrel, for example? No one seems...

    Where can I get my outer barrel shortened

    Hello, is there a place that I can get a section of my outer barrel removed and rejoined (I want to keep the barrel threads), or just shorten the barrel and rethread it? I do not want to pay  £100+ for a short barrel for my gbbr. I would do it myself but I have no experience with stuff like this...

    Best CQB gun, a pistol?

    I am relatively new so I am not the most experienced. However, I am looking at airsoft from a practical standpoint, rather than tacticool. Would a pistol not be the ideal choice for airsoft CQB? We are all shooting 6mm, so that is the main difference from the real world  (and not killing each...

    Making a Royal Mail claim? Value?

    Hi Long story short, I sold a few Warrior pouches for £40 and sent it via International Tracked & Signed to Germany which cost £11.60. They were sent on the 25th of March. The tracking keeps saying it is either at Heathrow or "On it's way to GLS Germany". It has said this 3 times. First on...

    Can a 416 rail fit on a 417

    Hi all I have a TM 417 but I want to change the rail but cannot find any. Will rails for the 416 fit on a 417? Is there a big difference? I see that the 416 rail has one screw holding it and the 417 has 2 screws holding it. Apart from this, I do not see a difference. Can a 416 rail still be...

    Getting a plate carrier to fit better?

    Hi I have a flyye fast attack plate carrier (generation 1) but I cannot get it to fit properly, even when fully adjusted. It still just seems to ride up if I lift my arms or perform a similar movement and won't go back into place. I've fully adjusted both sides to make it as tight as possible...
