    Steyr AUG …. But which one ?

    Lonex hop unit, No idea about them. The stock plastic units are fine. Maple leaf hop rubber - I can't comment on that either. We have 350fps and cold weather here in the UK. So soft 50deg rubbers are generally more our thing. I'd run the stock rubber and hop unit till it breaks...

    Airsoft AUG Stock made of fiberglass reinforced nylon?

    Both of my current augs are ABS, I have never seen a nylon variant. Never had a flimsy feeling aug body tho. The AEG variants feel less dense, but they don't generally have a flimsy feeling. ABS is far more impact resistant than nylon, and doesn't scuff and scratch as easily. It's also far...

    AEG gears and balancing...

    It makes no difference. The only gear that isn't balanced is the sector gear, but the sector gear is arrested and under load from the piston/spring  and spur for 50% for the time. So you will see more load wobble from that than you will from gear imbalance. SS 2 teeth and you can't even...

    Recommendations for a budget AK?

    Cyma, They do AK's right. Scopes and stuff on the AK I know nothing about. I know there is a side mount that the gun I have linked to doesn't have.  I'm not sure how much fettling you would need to do to make it all fit. https://www.tacticalairsoftshop.co.uk/CYMA-CM-031-AK74...

    Steyr AUG …. But which one ?

    You can just cut that 3rd position into the safe bar :D

    Steyr AUG …. But which one ?

    It really is. It's the fact it's a standard metal V3 gearbox, just with plastic bushings. Those bushings aren't actually that bad. I've been spouting on about budget augs and the upgrade path you can take with them for a few years, and even now it's more than relevant. For a £110 base gun...

    Steyr AUG …. But which one ?

    I've written quite a bit about AUG's. However I'm out of the loop so to speak. You can visually see the difference in 2 of the budget bodies. JG uses a smooth body all over, same as the TM and CA. APS/AA and a few others have raised textured areas on the stock and pistol grip. Of...

    Playing with expensive kit...

    I'm into my G3 over £1K with the scope and everything else that runs with it. The most I've done to really protect it is make a polycarbonate scope protector. There's absolutely no point buying the gun you really want, just to look at it. I mean a smartwatch is knocking on the door of £1K, so...

    Aug's are defiantly one of the oddities of the airsoft world. Unlike other platforms like the m4 where the gearbox is locked in place and you reference everything to the gearbox, Augs have no reference or fixed points internally. It's more of a relationship. The only real fixed point is...

    Sort the hop unit before you strip the gearbox. Chances are it'll want a hop rubber as well. I tend to stick with mounded types, and either g&g green, or prommy purples. I've never used a maple leaf in an aug. Air nozzles on the gearbox are an absolute pain in the ass. The ASG...

    All of the plastic hops i've used in augs have been good. CNC ones however are not as friendly. You have to spend a little more time with them to get them right, and that time doesn't translate into the hop working any better than the basic plastic ones. I have never played with the lonex/ASG...

    Problem selling a rif

    You can't search the database by name, I believe - But I may be wrong. I think the only search you can make is by number that leads to the information to confirm the Ukara status. I know when I've called to check my own status in the past I needed to provide my number, name alone wasn't enough...

    Problem selling a rif

    The details been kept by Ukara are literally, Name, Address, Skirmish site, Ukara Status, Email. Given that this is a transaction where postage is needed you have already provided, Name, Address, Valid Ukara, potentially Email. So exactly the same information is passed on regardless. As...

    Folding stock for m4 rifle

    There's actually a proper folding stock M4 variant. The LR300. It's been made by G&G as the GR300 some with magnesium bodies. (mines one of these). A&K made one as the LR300. And now Evolution have made one with full trades as the LR300...

    Problem selling a rif

    Sounds like the Guys a cock. All he had to do was provide a Ukara number, name and postage address. If he can't manage to do that and is generating excuses then there's something wrong. Actually checking a Ukara number isn't a breach of privacy. All you are doing is checking information...

    How to reduce travel on an AK style trigger

    I think you are over complicating it. Just make a block that screws into the trigger guard.

    What is broken and how to fix (Pics)

    You've snapped the back of the hop unit off. New unit is pretty cheap for an AUG. The bit that has snapped holds a spacer in place. https://www.bullseyecountrysport.co.uk/jg-works-airsoft-hop-up-unit-chamber-for-aug-series-aegs-softair-6mm-bbs-42281-p.asp   I'd probably get a hop rubber...

    Crimping Tool

    Good spot, I'd linked to the wrong set. Should of been the 97 21 215 B set, not the 97 21 215 set! Different ends on the pliers! https://www.amazon.co.uk/97-21-215-burnished-multi-component/dp/B001127PXQ
