Like so, doesn't have to be functional if needs must so long as it looks better, the main draw being its already two toned so I can get it tomorrow and its at a discount that puts it within range of my wallet since gunfire have broken the dboys g001 I ordered so getting a refund on that one that'll cover most of the cost of this cyma

I have two Armorer Works hicap magazines - WE made as far as I'm told.

Will they fit the TM 5.1 hicapa? And function properly?

 

[Guest]

They will fit, should work fine, the only difference is the shape of the gas router, and it’s minor

 

[Valentine]

A lot of hicapa parts are interchangeable apparently, there's a vid of a shop in the US showing them swap mags between different makes 

 

[emilianoksa]

Thank you both.

How does one prevent an outer barrel from wobbling (up and down, not left or right) when everything is already tightened down?

Thinking of wrapping the barrel end with a rubber washer and tape to keep it centered into the handguard. Any ideas?

A little bit of jb weld epoxy might help as a permanent solution but it'll have to be somewhere hidden cos it won't be pretty, failing that the washer idea could work but it might move with use

Plumbing tape, (PTFE tape) along the barrel

On what gun?

My AM013, you can see the pics in the gun thread.

I'd say the barrel nut is bottoming out before it's properly clamped the barrel then. You need to shim the barrel between the receiver and the barrel flange or the nut itself so it doesn't run out of threads before it's properly tight.

Awsome, didn't know that part was available separately at all

Meh, solved.

There are 5 little grains keeping the outer barrel together, 2 per side and one on top.

The top one was loose -.-

My aegs (LCT and G&G GC16) are known to have weak motors.

Since I only run them on nimhs is there any point in changing those motors?

I suspect not.

I'd go for the general method of if it ain't broke then don't fix it tbh, if you don't plan on upgrading to lipo batteries I'd say there's not much point changing it until you have to

 

[emilianoksa]

Thank you.

I'm pretty sure most motors can stand a 7.4v LiPo.

Change them only if you plan on using heavy springs + high voltage batteries, 11.1v and high discharge ratings (the "c" number)

Most likely "weak" as in poor performance not weak as in "not robust". They'll be fine. Run them until they do break, THEN put higher quality motors in.

Sniper rifle slings.

Which ones are worth looking at?

What makes a good "sniper" sling?

I'm thinking about creating one myself with a crap load of paracord, using the same weaving used in bracelets.

Tips? Advices? Insults?

I may as well attempt something like this to use with my plate carrier/backpack
