    Hadron Pegasus GBB Hop Unit for the TAC-41

    I've been having hop issues / quirks with my TAC-41 P for a while now, I've gone back to my trusty DMR, but I thought f**k it and put in a pre-order for the Hadron Pegasus GBB hop unit (and bought the Sniper Mechanics TAC-41 Dampened Cylinder Head (GBB) + 60 degree Flamingo Bucking). I can't...

    Single Sector Wanker Gun

    Some other discussions online are leading me down a dark path, in that I quite fancy building (for the fun of it) a "Wanker Gun". So far all of my airsoft toys have been focussed on a snappy semi-auto, overall range, DMR or bolt-action but I fancy building an AEG that's got a stupidly fast full...

    Overdue AKM Maintenance And Questions

    Over a year ago my youngest son spent his own money on a used AKM being sold by a local shop's staff member, which on paper looked sweet, however it was very unreliable with the Perun optical controller just craping out every few shots. Finally bad Dad has sorted it out and installed a GATE...

    Buying Halo Screen etc From Theyma HP (Theyma's Handmade Products) From France

    Those of us who like to pretend to be bracken, bushes and trees know the crafting materials aren't cheap (even with AliExpress being an option for some things). One person / place I've never bought from is Theyma HP... https://www.facebook.com/TheymaHP/ ... so I was wondering if anyone here...

    New Tokyo Marui Tactical Master

    I'm a lucky boy and now unexpectedly have in my collection a brand new Tokyo Marui Tactical Master. I'm really not sure what to do with, but to make sure all is OK I put gas in the mag (no leaks) and dry fired it a few times, and thinking I'll keep it I took the tag off of it (doh!). If I did...

    Probable TAC-41 L Purchase, A Few Questions (Getting It Right First Time)

    I can see around Christmas time that I'll probably be in a position to buy myself my first bolt action, and I don't plan on building a collection of them so I want to get things right first time. Overall I'm drawn to the TAC-41 platform and the TAC-41 L due to it being light with the slim stock...

    Existing Happy DMR User, Is A Bolt Action Worth It?

    I've settled into a groove now with my DMR and becoming a mobile bush, it also suits the fact I'm in my early 50's and really don't like running around (which I leave to others). I'm happy that my AEG DMR is the best it will ever be, with doubts that HPA would improve anything at all consistency...

    AK2M4 / XT AEG Springs, Bloody Indestructible!...

    ... which is a very good thing for them holding their shape / strength, but makes it impossible (at least for me) to cut off a coil. I bent the blades on a pair of snips and took all the teeth off a Dremel cutting wheel trying to do it ? Unless @ak2m4 has a magic trick to doing it I'm stumped...

    AK2M4 / XT Brushless Motors

    So trusty @ak2m4 has released a batch of their pre-production 34k (assuming on 11.1v) brushless motors, thankfully I had the cash available to buy one, and if you're quick there's one left at £73.50. God know what I'm going to do with it but with the money available I'm glad I've got one. I...

    F**king Weather In 2024, Will I Ever Get To Play Again?

    Come tomorrow I'll have not played for two months. Every time I'm free on a Sunday with money to burn the weather has been shit with it pissing it down, but of course when I have to be somewhere / have orders from my wife it's dry and sunny! I can't remember the start to 2023 being anywhere...

    Shift Your Rifts 2023

    My son and I quite fancy doing an airsoft weekender some when, but not NAF as it really looks like not my cup of tea (just a piss up with airsoft as a side event), but videos of this years Shift Your Rift 2023 looks a lot better (and Abingdon is less than an hours drive for me). Did anyone here...

    Somehow I Actually Have Money, But What To Buy?

    Unexpectedly HMRC has given me money, how nice of them, so I've a small amount to spend, but I'm torn about how to waste it... # A Tectonic Innovations Quake 8 (I don't push much, prefer support, but each skirmish I end up in at least one a situation where a bang would help sort things out)...

    Am I Now An Airsoft W**ker?

    I've been trying to get my max 1.14J Double Eagle M904E to be the best it can be on 0.28g BBs, still have a snappy'ish trigger but try and surprise people with its range, and I was disappointed with the consistency / range from a ZCI plastic rotary hop unit so I've sold my soul to the devil...

    Heavier BBs, 0.36 to 0.40, Most Cost Effective To Buy In 2022?

    I've been running my recently built DMR on 0.30g BB's, I've only had tiny goes with anything heavier, and I know I need to really start using heavier BBs to get the best from it and the parts I've used. My primary site, where I get a members discount, only stocks BBs up to 0.32g so I'll need to...

    Good UK Parts Website? (other than AK2M4)

    I need to buy a few random bits and pieces to finish off an AR15 / M4 upper, and I usual buy bits and bobs from AK2M4 as they have everything, however they're out of stock of everything I need right now. Can anyone else recommend a UK website similar to them that sells all the obscure bits and...

    Double Eagle M908A DMR "Build"

    I bit the bullet yesterday, an e-mail from BBGUNS4LESS offering me 5% off of my unplaced order / basket triggered it, and a Double Eagle M908A is now on the way to be setup as a DMR. In the UK right now there are only two retailers left with it in stock, BBGUNS4LESS and High Pressure Airsoft...

    Run Your Sling Through A Plate Carriers Shoulders?

    What are peoples opinions on this, yes or no? Positive for me is that it won't chafe / cut into my neck anymore.  Negative is that the single point sling will become dead center on my chest and be a bugger to remove quickly if I need to.

    Ambidextrous v2 Gearboxes, Any Reason To Be Fearful Of Them?

    Playing with airsoft I'm getting closer to the point where I'll be disassembling v2 gearboxes, replacing internal parts, and probably installing a GATE Aster or Titan. There are a few different guns I'll be considering working on, for various reasons, and a some of these out of the box have...
