Don’t forget the custom fitted  piston (chopped a chunk of with a dermal!) thing I find odd is he’s supposedly sunk all the money in it but yet it’s being sold with a hi-cap ?

Don't get me wrong hi-caps are fine but most players I know with guns they’ve put THAT MUCH effort in to building exclusivity use mids or lows never hi’s ? ?

possibly it's just the original hicap going with the gun, and any mids he has he's keeping for other guns?

 
seems like he's wants "us" to pay for all his upgrade costs, even if his choice of upgrades is dubious & probably unnecessary, & hopes the scarcity of type 56's will blind us to the fact.

I'll pass ?

Exactly  It seems counterintuitive to take a perfectly good working piston designed for that particular AEG  and swap it for one that has to be made to fit.  

With regards to the hi-cap mag, it makes sense. Because if he does have any RS mid-caps he will probably keep them as they are currently harder to get than the  RS AEGs themselves at the moment.

You are right trouble is you can buy the whole range of RS type 56's directed from the factory, they even periodically do 30% off the shipping although you run the risk of import duties.

Posted I appraisals, gets honest advice. Ignores and has hissy fit. Overpriced anyway. 

Yep, you belong here. 




 
Did make me laugh; got an appraisal and doubles it.... :lol: Why bother getting an appraisal?!

 
I know I shouldn't expect any better but god there are a lot of chancers on Zero One.  Not looked there in ages.  £280 for a Well AK74M?  £800 for a GHK m4?  F*ck off....

 
I kind of feel for the guy, he's likely put a lot of time and money into making the perfect custom toy gnu for him.

However, he may be missing the point that one man's dream custom is another's nightmare Frankengun.

To my eyes, that's just another heavy lump of a thing that will perform the function of the "support gunner" imaginary role every bit as well as any plastic AEG with a box mag and a heavy trigger finger.

Motor, barrel, hop unit and rubber are upgrades. A pistol grip and a 3D printed buffer tube are not.  I'm particularly amused by buying a TruSight rubber ("capable of operating in -50C to +230C" ? ) that comes with its own magical concave nub, then also buying a Maple Leaf nub.

The value is entirely dependent on finding someone who wants exactly that toy, with exactly those parts on it.  I wish the seller the best of luck with that.

 
i've always wondered why people bother with hop upgrades on a support gun, it's not like you're going to be running heavy ammo through it or really care about minute of angle accuracy so why expend the money?

He can always stop taking his medication and sell it to him self ?

1) Because "support gun" is largely a fictional narrative in airsoft?  You're either firing for effect and getting hits, or you're just blasting bush and your target likely doesn't even realise that you're shooting at them, let alone that in your head, they're supposed to be both impressed and suppressed.

To be clear I'm not criticising people who enjoy whacking the bushes, we're all playing a daft game of pretend for fun.  But if your site doesn't run different rules for different toys, then the reality is a "support" gun is just a cumbersome carbine.

2) Don't we all like spending money on our preciouses and fiddling with them for that ultimate / imaginary extra 5m of accurate range?  Heck, I'm currently running a Maple Leaf rubber and nub in my MP5K that over-hops the 0.2g that I feed it for CQB.

The A&K Hop unit is notoriously bad. Its like they have never seen a hop unit and have no idea how it works beyond what someone told them at a drunken dinner. It's why I replaced mine!

Only ever worked on their m60, and while its bad it's very amenable to being tdc'd with minimal effort.

Both fair points, after all i use my 10" m4 carbine more like a sniper rifle than a door kicker.

I suppose i can talk, i have meddled with mg hops before, mostly for reason 2.

 
With the Borg on this , do agree don’t really see the point of a support weapon if it’s not being run AS a support weapon ! (Unless it’s my chainsaw , now that’s for shits’n’giggles no matter what the game !) my support gun has been up-graded , but that’s only due to it being an A&K !?

when I do run it i always mix the ammo in it (.2’s/.25’s/.28’s and few .3’s) so I get a nice spread when laying down suppressing fire on the field.

You guys don't know bad, not until you've owned a Top M60, that things a work of art when it comes to bad-ness, but surprisingly reliable in use
