Hi Pete, thanks for that, not busting for any one RIF in particular, although I'd like an Ares L1A1 (having missed them twice now for the reasons stated) and/or an S&T Sterling but both are in short supply it seems.  In specific defence terms I wouldn't want to be seen as taking the pee...

Hey folks. Not posted in an age as airsoft has been sadly on the backburner for me for the past 2 or 3 years, but I've been looking in and this thread caught my eye as I was wondering how lockdowns had affected UKARA registrations etc. I hope to get to a game or 2 again soon. I have been...

Hi, not looked in for a while due to not having had much time to play. I have a KWC Mini Uzi, as Giraffe says its way too hot out of the box and needs a more restrictive floating valve, I fettled mine to be sub 350fps. I'm sure I read ages ago someone in the UK was doing one but can't remember...

According to the link this event is now being held on Saturday 9th September 2017. Looks interesting. . . 

I have one of these, pretty old school now, bought it around 2002 iirc. The internals I believe are unique to this AEG including the gears (cast, not steel), hop design etc so repairs could be a problem if it goes wrong, that said mine still works ok but of more use in CQB than woodland, FPS...

Built a fair collection of LS kits in late 80s (low priced, all plastic, low powered springer rifs from a model shop well before VCR or AEGs were thought of,) this progressed naturally to back garden battles with my brother and mates, and a couple of times venturing to local woodland, all very...

If you're still looking, the Ares L1A1 (UK version of the FAL) is finally being made available if you have £440 burning a hole (£150 deposit, rest due when they arrive in UK in a couple of weeks). . . Link here http://www.fire-support.co.uk/product/ares-original-british-l1a1-slr This is the...

As has been said it could have had the stock tube extension photoshopped out or it COULD be a copy of the Star/Ares design which use a more realistic design where the whole stock tube screws into the receiver and is secured by a locking ring.

Just re-barrelled my XM-177 due to damage. 2 piece Cyma barrel gives me 2 guns for the price of 1, the XM177 or a USAF GUU-5P (real world former XM / M16 carbine with M4 barrel upgrade) by using the Cyma M4 barrel extension. Needs a little touch up of paint in one or 2 places. Gearbox was...

10 out of 10 yet again, impressed with the Rocket gears (Same spec as SHS apparently, can't fault them, run smoothely). Great sevice, great products, great price, great guy. Thanks Pete!

Not strictly an airsoft purchase but will be used for airsoft jobs, Tap and Die set £14.99 from Aldi, useful for threading holes that have stripped, custom bolts etc, but mainly for making screw in (ie adjustable) velocity reducers for GBBRs, in this case for my AKS74U. So far so good, down to...

I have an elderly KSC/KWA Glock 23F (has both labels on the box) about 10-12 years old with plastic slide. Always been reliable even on green gas with an epic rate of fire and spares are available from Firesupport among others, had a new hop rubber in mine but thats about it. Can't compare to a...

3 mags for my KWC co2 Mini Uzi, ordered from Gunfire, found somewhere stocking them outside HK at LONG LONG last, BIG thanks to Mr. Spoon for the heads up!

Thing with co2 mags is not to overtighten them. there is a built in plasticky sealing ring (usually white) around the 'pin' which is supposed to stop leaks but they can be damaged by overtightening. Basically when you screw it in and the seal punctures you only need tighten it until it stops...

Worth mentioning that Cyma M4's usually chrono around 360fps out of the box unless you bought from somewhere which pre downgrades them, which is too hot for most sites (350 is usually the maximum acceptable, can be 328 at some sites so worth checking). A Marui hop rubber (£5 from Firesupport)...

Never mind, beaten to it lol!

Merry Christmas to you K@rl and all on the forum. :-)

Boots every time for me for the ankle protection. Mud or even bb's on a concrete floor can really mess your week up if you get a bad sprain or worse, a broken ankle.

A Sterling SMG, L1A1 and TM P226 or Browning DA would be nice please?

I occasionally buy one or the other, I subscribed to AI for years but they started repeating old reviews, articles and stripdowns etc too often. I prefer the style of AA, AI has got too much gucci kit in it for me nowadays and too few gun reviews, AA has more historical stuff which I don't mind...
