lockdown and load

[remus]

may be a better spot but figured it can be anything really... move if nessiary

so assuming this all kicks off... we all need a distraction from such... share what you are working on when on lockdown! preferably airsoft of course but am sure any good distraction will be nice if sites do close etc... iv a unch to work on so if i do and can i will share too if/when i do get to be at home... 

and hope all keep safe throughout! happy lockdown all lol

these are certainly interesting times for sure.

looks like game days are going to be off the table for a while, still i suppose at least i've got a decent backlog of games to go through (fallout 4, metro exodus and borderlands 3 for starters).

otherwise i suspect there's going to be a lot of stir crazy driven tinkering and purchasing to be had, of course that'll probably be knocked on the head if deliveries aren't happening.

Airsoft projects have had to be put on hold for me as I'm becoming a dad in 2 weeks. Help a guy out and share all your projects to help with the withdrawal symptoms ?

 

[Cromulon1994]

I'm going to buy another schofield, set up a range in the garden, panic bulk buy some co2 and become the fastest gun in the west... Midlands...

They do sleep. My latest addition has just turned a week old and I'm about to pull my 2 sniper setups apart to fettle them whilst on down time in between feeds.

Haha thanks. If I do get any spare time it'll be spent on my SCAR H DMR project and starting on a SMG AEG project. The second one may have to wait though as I need to buy the mag and internals to start designing around but that's money I don't have currently.

You'll be amazed how generic the term "baby things" can be lol

Get around to fitting some sorbothane pads to a few Aegs. Also a deep clean of the house, partly because I managed to lose the clip that attached the barrel to the body on my PKM. Hoping it will re-emerge.  

 

[Impulse]

Not much as I've already done most of what I needed to work on and now need to be a responsible adult and save up for a mortgage.

However, the last item on the table I have yet to do is replace the outer barrel on my 1911 with a threaded one so I can add all the suppressors. Got a nineball hop rubber and inner barrel while I was at it too.

And assuming the parts arrive from America, I still need to shove in that R-hopped tightbore and modify flat hop rubber into the m14 to complete the transition into DMRhood.

 

[Asomodai]

Just getting in some extra parts for the following projects

Projects for me:

SA M16/M203, new hop unit, barrel, air seal components, mosfet etc. 

Umarex Tavor, new bucking, barrel, mosfet, motor, nozzle and possibly all but the gears to be replaced. 

SRC XM8: Change the bucking to a Maple Leaf Macaron and 0hm nub to see if it clears up the misfeed on full auto. Otherwise I need to mill out part of the Airsoft Pro Hop unit. 

ICS L85: Either dremel away part of the hop arm to make the Maple Leaf Macaron/0hm nub work with something below .32 bbs, or change out for Prommy purple standard bucking. 

JG G36: Change the bucking to a Maple Leaf Macaron and 0hm nub to see if it clears up the misfeed on full auto. Otherwise I need to mill out part of the Airsoft Pro Hop unit. 

Projects for my tech:

Ares Soc-AR, New hop unit, New Nozzle, New motor, New Prommy Barrel, Maple Leaf Macaron/0hm nub. 

PTS PDRC, New Piston/Piston Head, Tighten trigger, mosfet and new motor. 

Projects for my OTHER tech:

JG SL8: Make it sound like something other then a bag of nails. 

SRC XM8 DMR: Turn it into a DMR and try and get it working with the Helicals. 

I am a collector of PS3/Consoles exclusives, I have about 200 at the moment which I haven't played much of. 

I am hoping to get an Airsoft game in this weekend though if public transport is still working.

sorbothane pads to a few Aegs

Hissses in Negative Airsoft 

Back on topic, I have got myself a British Army belt rig along with some extra pouches so I will be spending my lockdown messing with that and praying for it all to go away so I can go shoot some fools 

 

[Skara]

It's lockdown for everyone but me.

I'm still working

I wish I could craft my ghillies but I cannot source the materials I need and I can't go to my field.

I guess I'll keep looking for the last pieces of kit I'm still missing (a holster, Source bladder, rifle retention thingy, other bits and bobs), a bit of teching and fiddling with possible sniper rigs.

Stuff I should have done ages ago but never had the time to.

And getting back to piloting shit in ArmA 3, recently fixed my head tracking device too.

 

[Rogerborg]

I'm working on work, sadly, but I do intend to revive the project guns that I ... over-optimised, my CYMA M4 and MP5K.  They both still shoot but I've pooched the air seals and they're way down on power.

Nobody tell Luke at Negative Airsoft, but I'm looking at my PTFE tape and thinking maybe now's the time.

 

[remus]

im still at work too, awaiting mortgage to finalise so can move to new house... wife pregnant but shes still at work too. i dont close til gvt tell us to(we work with the home office)

but i have a few things i really wanna do if we do close up, my new airsoft mask which is actually loosely based on a plague dr is top of list, updating pagging, inserting and plumbing in fans, possibly adding some form of filter, google lenses more straps etc.. 

 

[ghostwalker]

Hoping o get out for a game on Sunday before the gate comes down on us all. 
 

aside from that mostly Xbox gaming, tv series and a mountain of plastic miniatures I have said I will one day paint. 

 

[Enid_Puceflange]

We are still working, though staff dropping like flies

I feel sorry for our customers who’s new Range Rovers are held up and won’t be ready for them the exact moment we promised them 3 months ago

First world problems ?

we will probably be keeping the doors open until Monday, then possibly shut down for a couple of weeks

At least then I can finish the man cave and move myself in for self isolation ?

 

[Yukarin]

None of my tests or Uni work is cancelled, so I'm spending the next 2 months revising 10 hours a day while most people seem to be chilling at home... fun...

 

[Zarrin]

Nobody tell Luke at Negative Airsoft, but I'm looking at my PTFE tape and thinking maybe now's the time.

It's fine, just go ahead and put a sorbo pad in there and it will cancel out the PTFE tape ?

 

[Cromulon1994]

It appears that first and only have taken the decision to close all sites. 

I can't see it being the only one either after today's announcement.

working on a mate's Umarex HK 416. At a wet game late last year it just started firing full auto despite being set safe ! Interesting few moments getting the battery out to stop it ? Once dried out it seemed ok but since he wanted to swap the grip from the HK style to a Storm grip we decided to pop the box out and have a look inside. Found some quite mangled wiring in there , been rubbing on the motor shaft by the look of it. 

Ditched that lot and fitted a new contact / wiring set. Box is back in and ready for testing tomorrow
