Having missed out on the last forum meet up a year or so back at Battle Lakes, and fancying a change from Driver Wood, I'll be popping along this Sunday to try it out. Website seems down at the moment, but they are very quick to respond via facebook (and if the website isn't fixed in time to...

I have my eye on a few juicy items available only at Begadi. Has anyone any recent experience ordering from them to the UK, and if so, any dramas (aside from the usual customs etc lottery)?

Having recently obtained a Specna AK, in the Prime variety, I am exceptionally impressed - a real bargain, with excellent performance. The Prime AKs have an interesting TDC hop unit, named by them 'Magnus'. And certainly it seems to be doing the business with the Prime AK. With my interest...

These have caught my eye, and on paper at least, seem to be a reasonably good option to scratch the LMG itch, for a reasonable price. Does anyone have any experience with one?

I know of at least a few members on here that have an Ares HPA drop in gearbox, but I’m hoping feedback on this question won’t necessarily be restricted to those ‘early adopters’.  I rather like the idea of building a relatively quiet MP5SD based around the Ares HPA gearbox  - the gearbox choice...

I have a few spring guides which don't have bearings (and neither do the corresponding piston heads have bearings either). I believe the type of bearing that typically is used on spring guides is known as a 'thrust bearing'. Typically these can be had for a few pence, especially from the like of...

So - I've re-built a V2 gearbox - nothing fancy, standard wiring and trigger contacts, no mosfet or anything like that. Connecting up the motor wires to a motor outside of the receiver to test trigger function - spins the motor absolutely fine. Assemble into a lower receiver, attach the grip...

Picked up an old G36C+ a classic 'Bag of Bits' from a friend for £40. The rif seems pretty solid, nicely trademarked, and is marked with UMAREX licencing details on the magwell. Shoots quite nicely actually at circa 1J. I've been researching who the OEM could be, as I'm quite tempted to give...

Having just picked up an STG-44, with a number of spare 190 rnd mid caps for it, I realise that I have a bit of a dilemma in the mag carriage department. Those mags are huge! Comparison photo below showing a Krytac M4 mag, AK74 mag, and then the ST-44 behemoth. A full 26cm long! I know that...

Just felt motivated to give these guys a mention - so very impressed. I picked up a rather knackered Mancraft PDIK off the classifieds here some months back as part of an old rifle, discovered that it leaked air badly when connected up, and after fiddling around with replacing the seals...

I have a particular (M4) inner barrel which seems to rather freely rotate within its ZCI hop unit. The C-Clip is correctly seated, but the rotation of the inner barrel either direction by a few mm is pretty easy without any real resistance at all. Obviously makes centralising the patch for the...

All in the title really! I've struggled for years to find a source of adequate quality Crye style trousers that have a sufficiently long length inner seam - for around £65 or less. Most clones seem to only come with regular, and occasionally short length legs. Specifically I'm after a 36 inch...

I’ve recently picked up a second hand Mancraft PDIK V2 gen2, and I’ve built it into a very nice Knights SR15 kit (shout to 18airsoft for the parts- very rapidly becoming my favourite overseas retailer- with this latest order taking slightly over one week to drop through the door). Problem is...

In a few days time I'm looking at running my new Golden Eagle M870 (https://www.patrolbase.co.uk/golden-eagle-type-870-m8871-railed-gas-shotgun) in the Epsom Tunnels (CQB). I'm struggling to identify a viable way of mounting a torch with pressure switch - what do people suggest? I imagine that...

So I have a AAP based carbine - built up around the TTI PCC kit, and currently enjoying a 21cm Unicorn airsoft barrel and bucking. I've run a game with it using the rather nifty Airtac MP5 mag HPA adapter, and it performed....adequately. Aside from the outer barrel being rather wobbly affecting...

What is it with at least 50% of You tubers who insist on calling a MK23 (i.e. 'Mark23') pistol an 'M' 'K' 23?!! It makes me cringe every time! Am I being irrationally intolerant? Probably, but I can't help it - I just want to throw stuff at the screen when they do it, and once you've heard them...

I’ve an issue with my Army Armament R34 (Glock 34) apparently light striking with all mags (inc WE, Action Army etc.) except the one that it came with. At least I assume the problem is light striking - a little pfft and an initial very low powered shot, with zero blowback. Pistol works perfectly...

I've come across posts (generally not on this forum mind) which indicate that you can get air trapped inside your GBB magazines, and to remedy they advocate purging them.  Usually via a process of depressing the knocker valve for a few seconds as you fill them.  Is this really a 'thing'? It...

So I have recently built up an AAP carbine – based around the TTI PCC kit, with a 210mm inner barrel. In terms of working parts, the only upgrade has been to add in a 150% nozzle return spring. In testing, everything worked absolutely fine – reliable feeding, good accuracy/range, and shooting...

I’ve a few AEGs, and now have developed a bit of a hankering for something rather different. A GBB pistol carbine rather appeals, and having handled a SSX303 a while back, that initially crossed my mind. However, I already have an upgraded Mk23, and know the trigger to be horrible. And frankly...
