    Typical FPS Increase From Tight Bore Barrels - ?

    (Posting this in the Gas Guns forum as it's specific to GBBs...) I'm thinking of fitting a Prometheus tight bore barrel to my Tokyo Marui MWS. Specifically, I'll be replacing the stock barrel - which I think is 6.08mm diameter - with one measuring 6.03mm diameter (barrel length will remain...

    Torquing nuts (!)

    So… without wanting to over-complicate what is probably a very simple matter… I’ve recently found myself wondering how much torque can be applied to a typical barrel nut - in my case when fitting a floating hand guard. I don't mean how much measurable torque in Nm, more a question of "how tight...

    Black Rifle

    Highly recommend these guys if you’re wanting to source any real steel parts, especially Magpul of which they always seem to have a good and varied stock.   Great alternative to companies like Brownells when chasing hard-to-find / high demand gear and very quick delivery too.  ...

    Tag Inn Rounds - Starter Advice

    So... I’m keen to incorporate TAG Innovation rounds into my loadout.   Airsoft World seem to be the main UK supplier and are currently out of stock, so I have some time to do my homework and ‘buy smart’ ? A couple of questions for those of you familiar with TAG rounds: 1) Are most pistol...

    Help Removing a L119a2 Rail (Tm Mws)

    I did consider posting in the TM MWS thread, but didn't want to add any unnecessary clutter there and thought it best to post separately! So, I have a TM MWS (CQB-R) that features an Angry Gun L119A2 rail (9.25" version). I bought it with the rail attached and have never needed to remove it...

    Selling a RIF Part That Was Previously an If (I.E. Painted but Since Stripped) Is That Legal?

    Ok, so I've been searching the forum (and Google) for an answer on this, but I can't find one. So I'm chancing my luck here! Q: Is it legal to sell part of an airsoft gun that was previously painted (i.e. as an imitation firearm), but has since been stripped of paint? The situation is I've...

    Stupid speed loader question...

    So I’ve only ever used Tokyo Marui GBB pistols until now... and I use a TM pistol-style speed loader to load them. Works great. I now have a WE GBB pistol incoming (Makarov) and I’m wondering whether the TM loader will work with WE mags, or whether I need a different kind of adapter thingy to...

    TM MP7A1 - maintenance and tinkering

    New TM MP7A1 GBB owner here. First impressions... wow! It's a mini-beast ? I've been looking for info on general maintenance/cleaning and tinkering, but couldn't find much on here or elsewhere. So thought I'd start a thread akin to the mighty MWS one for anyone to share their experiences of...

    Airsoft Eire

    A quick shout out to the guys at Airsoft Eire ☘️ https://www.airsofteire.com Seemingly little known in the UK... and perhaps not helped by their website looking like a relic from the early 1990s!... but a ruddy good retailer nonetheless. I bought a RIF from them recently and happy to report...

    Opinions on Earmor headsets - good, bad or ugly!?

    I'm fishing for opinions on Earmor headsets... ? Reason being I'm in the market for a set of noise-cancelling, fully closed cans that are also capable of running a built-in mic and being attached to a helmet - and the Earmor seem to fit the bill within the price range I'm considering (they seem...

    Storing lipos - how and where?

    Question: how and where do you store your lipos? So I’ve capitulated and bought my first AEG for use during colder, winter months (I otherwise run GBBRs). It runs on 7.4v lipos and I’m wanting to know the safest method for storing them. Reading up on this, opinions seem to range from: “They’re...

    Long-term storage of Tokyo Marui MWS (or any GBBR)

    What's the correct way to store a TM MWS plus magazines (or any GBB rifle) over the long-term - i.e. a few years? I’m lucky to own two Marui MWS rifles, one of which needs to go into long-term storage away from home. Now there’s lots of advice on storing GBBRs here and elsewhere, but it nearly...

    Does the UKARA form have to be hand written - ?

    Yeah stupid question, I know! But here goes... I’ve just downloaded the UKARA form in preparation for my registration and I’ve noticed that at the top of the document is stated: “Please make sure all details have been written clearly and are legible”…noting that the word ‘written’ is...

    Using a 45-degree angled scope - ?

    Newbie here, so apologies to the Mods if this is in the wrong place. So... I’m getting back into airsoft and a mate of mine has very kindly donated a WARQ helmet to help me on the way (he has two and recommends them highly). Haven’t used the helmet in anger as yet, but pranced around garden in...

    Get the brews on

    Quick first post to say... 1) I’m new here and mine’s a coffee, white one sugar. Ta. 2) Used to play airsoft years ago and now getting back into the sport (need to get my UKARA sorted). 3) Love gas guns. 4) Based in Manchester and keen to know the best local sites (have car, will travel)...
