    AKS74U Single point sling fitting?

    Looking for ideas on fitting a single point sling to the steel folding stock, there is a sling loop on the right side of the stock (though it feels a little rattly & flimsy) but I want something on the left side so the gun will rest correctly at my right side if you get my drift. I realise...

    SRC AKS74U Gas blowback thoughts?

    Anyone any experience of the above? Its on flash sale TODAY ONLY for £149.95 at Airsoft World and I'm mighty tempted to add to my collection. Supposedly steel receiver and real wood. 45rd mag (though review says 65) so more useable than a 30rd AR. I know SRC AEGs have a mixed reputation so...

    Paypal or credit card when buying from overseas?

    What do you use? Any protection benefits of using one over another you want to share? Problems you've encountered using either to buy rifs? Anything on the subject really! :)

    DMR semi auto locking?

    Ok I've just about finished a full internal upgrade on my M16A3 (tbb, helicals, hi torque motor, quick change spring etc) with the idea of using as a DMR. Currently running sub 350fps just to get used to using it semi auto, but with ability to switch to full if it gets too annoying lol! Anyway...

    Receiver engraving by airsoft machine shop - experience?

    As per title, I'm looking at getting some engraving of trades done, anyone had any experience of this company? I seem to remember they did the trades on AI mag's L119 project. Quote I had seems very reasonable. https://www.facebook.com/AirsoftMachineShop

    Metal toothed pistons? ?

    Wondered what experience anyone has had using pistons with full metal teeth? I've read that they should last longer than plastic teeth ones but also if they go wrong they can cause a lot more damage to gears etc? My inclination is to stick with all plastic ones but I'm open to being converted...

    Ares M4 gearbox replacement (ZCI Shell)

    Ok, so my Ares M4 suffered terminal gearbox failure. Even though it hasn't been used a lot in its 4 years, the monkey metal used in the original shell has disintegrated around the cylinder head. I emailed Ares for prices for a new shell, came back as 73USD posted, plus customs and admin fees...

    Posting RIFs via Royal Mail/ Parcelforce - experience?

    Apologies if this has been covered elsewhere? Thinking of selling some RIFs in the appropriate section on here, but before I do I wondered how to go about posting them? Last time I posted one (several years ago) I was told by my local Post Office that with it being a RIF it required some sort...

    Ares M4 Gearbox shell failure

    I bought an Ares M4A1 in 2010, brand new, from Action Hobbies as a back-up weapon in case my primary gun went down. Its had about a dozen skirmishes since then and still looks pretty much as new. Never had any issues with it, nor has it been upgraded in any way. Even the microswitch trigger...

    CO2 power downgrade - anyone know how?

    Recently got hold of the new CO2 powered Cybergun "Swiss Arms Protector" (ie Mini Uzi). It is a fantastic "grin factor" GBB gun, very solid, heavy, fast and loud, especially on full auto and shoots straight for a good 60m. However it is a little too "hot" to skirmish with at around 380FPS on...

    Hello from another older player!

    Been on here a few weeks now and replied on a few topics, thought I'd better say hello! I'm 44 and in the older (and larger) category, so you won't find me crawling through undergrowth in a Ghillie suit! Have been into Airsoft since discovering LS kits and Gunze Sangyo springers and early gas...
