    MK23 gas drum mag

    I have no idea what this actually cost in terms of time and materials, and its a long way away from my kind of thing, but I'm pretty sure that this is someones idea of a wet dream and it will sell so fast your head will spin. Any of the sort that use a souped up mk23 DMR in a carbine kit as...

    Accuracy issue and zero question

    Just to correct my previous statement. It should say the ratio between cylinder volume and barrel volume is a black art. However the calculation its self isn't that hard. Just work out the internal air volume of the barrel and the internal air volume of your cylinder and compare them the...

    Accuracy issue and zero question

    7 fps is well within the margin of error, so that's not the problem. It sounds like you have covered all of the basics. I might be grasping here but have you done a volumetric calculation between the barrel volume and the cylinder volume? An under volumed cylinder can have a bunch of strange...

    Most cost effective way to get an MWS upper?

    As someone who owns 4 MWS. It is usually cheaper and easier to just buy a complete separate gun and configure it how you want. It is pretty rare to pick up a separate upper and when they do come up they are nearly the price of a complete gun anyway. One of my guns started off as a spare upper...

    Accuracy issue and zero question

    Ah ok sorry I misread 50ft to be 50m. At 15m that is a pretty poor grouping IMHO. Please bear in mind my main airsoft hobby is target shooting and 3 gun stuff so I am more focussed on accuracy than many skirmishers. First thing is check your power is consistent shot to shot by putting 10-20 bbs...

    Best g17 internal upgrades

    On an average 1hr range session I use about 1000 bbs, so assuming I get two sessions in a week (which I try my best to do) and also assuming I was only doing pistol drills, the AA would last 3 weeks….

    Accuracy issue and zero question

    I'm not seeing a problem here. Assuming you are chronoing at 350fps (on .2g BBs) and are at a true measured 50m. I'd say a 12" group with .25g BBs is actually fairly decent, that's pretty much 100% hit ratio on an A4 sheet of paper at that distance (yes I know A4 is only 12" along the longer...

    Cybergun FNX-45 adaptor plate

    Which RMR are you looking at? The one I got from Amazon for my Cybergun FNX was a direct fit no adapter required... https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B0773G4P53/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1

    Looking for decent pair of boots

    I'm also a fan of Lowa boots - For skirmishing I use their Recce boot (now discontinued but still readily available). I also really like the Altberg Sneeker as a light weight option. Problem with boots is everyone can comment on features and build quality, but the single most important feature...

    Best g17 internal upgrades

    From personal experience I actually have an AA Glock in pieces in a box of bits somewhere around here. As a general rule I don’t comment about guns where I don’t currently own one (and can prove it with pics) and have at least a couple of range training session with it.   I bought the AA as on...

    TM Fnx45 Magazine Green Gas Mod

    Here I have to disagree the TM isn’t better in every way…… just almost every way…. As someone who owns both, I wish Marui used the double action mechanism from the VFC, where even in double action you have to rack the slide on a fresh mag before it will fire rather than the mechanism from a...

    Best g17 internal upgrades

    True, all companies even the mighty Marui drop the ball on occasion and WE have a few notable lemons (yes the MK3 HP is right up on that list and I would happily junk mine if there was another more reliable option). However the WE G series is very good and given the cost you can see why they...

    Best g17 internal upgrades

    Sorry to be so blunt but the best upgrade for an AA Glock pistol is put it in the bin and buy a WE. You will spend more on the AA and it still won’t be as good as a stock WE. for Glocks in general not much is needed. A bearing for the hammer is a good upgrade for smooth cycling as is a maple...

    The 'What have you just bought' Thread

    Just ordered this: https://www.opticswarehouse.co.uk/vortex-sparc-solar-red-dot2-moa I have had enough with 'reproduction' optics. They are so hit and miss in finding a good one unless you are lucky that the warranty easily covers the relatively small difference in cost.

    Warrior DCS owners

    I really rate replacing the solid cummerbund with an elastic one. I have done this on both of my warrior plate carriers. The integrated pouches are pretty useful for magazines, cleaning kit, radios, mars bars or anything not too bulky, IMHO they improve the comfort hugely, and you get a quick...

    Marui 1911s

    Can’t say I have ever noticed a problem with my slide getting chewed up in either of my 1911s, but I have quite a few pistols that I cycle between depending on what I’m doing/how I feel so maybe mine get less use that some. I have never used the Marui recommended duster gas, always green gas or...

    THE TM MWS thread

    I run a 455mm Crazy Jet in my MK12 DMR build and it has been very good. I can get 450fps on green gas as long as the weather is reasonable and I haven’t noticed any difference in my groupings or accuracy at 50m (which is the longest I can test at home). I usually run .36g BBs at 385fps rather...

    Temperature and useability

    Yep, I use my MWS all year round without issue, even with frost on the ground. Just buy some red and black gas for use when it’s too cold for green gas and an npas valve to regulate fps and you will be fine. Also as mentioned above chrono your gun several times during the day, particularly in...

    Marui 1911s

    I have 2 TM 1911 types (one an MEU and one a M45A1) both are fully skirmishable in my opinion. I have never had a problem clearing a mag, but despite all the fear mongers I’m happy to put red/black gas in a Marui when it gets cold enough. As long as you are only using higher power gasses to...

    Looking at a browning high power mk3 we tech

    I don't normally must have packed up in a hurry last time it was out. Still got to scratch the itch as I have 2 for exactly this reason, but now I have to remember to fix this one before its next outing (or more likely forget to do so and only remember at the last minute and decide to just take...
