The 'What have you just bought' Thread

[E21A]

For when you're mostly dead, and all dead?

Dead and double dead

Dead and double dead 

One for when you're shot, two for when you've been shot by Chuck Norris...

 

[Compulsive Reload]

I'm guessing one for him and one for non hit takers on the other team...
Here you go pal, it seems you've lost yours - use mine!

52,000 rounds ?????? holy buckets of BB's batman!!
I realise that's potentially only 1000 per week..... but wowsers, it seems a lot all together!
Where did you get 'em from? I'm guessing you must have got a discount for bulk?

Picked a nice new sight up.
The glass is nice and clear - not too sure on the brightness of the dot yet though.
Can't decide which to put it on. Probably stay on the Vector.

Yup - They're the ASG CZSP01 Shadows, with threaded outer barrels (the threaded barrels only come as standard on the tactical, but it works out a tenner cheaper to do it yourself - and then you have black guns!).
I bought my first after shooting the RS version - I fell in love with it.
So as soon as I got back, I bought one.
A week later, after only ten rounds, it was dead.
The loading nozzle exploded. Which was nice.
The retailer swapped it immediately and I ran it in CQB for a few weeks without issue.

Then bought another, so that I could run two up, with tracers - which is sooooooo much fun when they work!
Have been having feeding problems, which I am yet to get to the bottom of.
EXploded BB's jamming the mag and getting jammed around the feed nozzle.

Mags venting as a result, at the most inopportune moments.
Mags not staying in (due to left over bits of BB, I found)....
Lost both front fibre sights already (both guns less than three months old).
And yet, despite these issues, I love them. 
Once I have them working well, I'll love em even more.

Seems like alot of trouble haha, love the way they look though.

Did you get shut of the c02 mags?

Shall stick to my glock for now, just installed maple leaf hop and barrel so should be sweet.

After those 10 rounds on co2, I went completely gas!
I can recommend them. I love them. They just don't love me back.....

Thanks to SWAS for the  quick delivery of an ARP9. My son loves it. Plus I'm hoping Evike will deliver a ARES PPSH as they have refunded me twice already. Still waiting for a reply as too why? Sent them a couple of emails but nowt. If they refund again then ill probably get another ARP9.

 

[YorkieT17]

My first RIF the G&G CM18 

A plate carrier by TMC in Coyote

2 x Hi Cap Stanag type mags by CYMA

as a side note anyone got any suggestions on a way to get these Cyma mags to feed. Got all the way home and they don’t want to play at all. ?

 

[TheFull9]

Check the mag is working - fill it, wind it, then pull on the little tab by the opening where the BBs should shoot up from and check they are in fact shooting up and out.

If they're working then fill & wind, insert in to the gun, remove, see if some BBs actually fall out of the hop unit.

If they're getting up in to the hop unit and there's still nothing firing out of your barrel it might be the tappet plate/nozzle in the gearbox.

Thanks man. It works ok with the one mid cap I got with the gun just forgot to pick up a speed loader (doh). It didn’t seem to want to fire on the hicap. 

BBs did fall from the hop unit and BBs did come out of the mag as described. One of them seemed a bit pathetic on ejection but I left it loaded for half an hour while I vented my frustrations and it seemed to improve. Was thinking of leaving it loaded overnight tonight and seeing how it goes in the morning. Luckily it’s buy & sell day tomorrow so hopefully someone is selling some other mags. Otherwise I’ll be coming home early ?

 

[TheFull9]

If the mid works and the hi is lacking oomph, then yeah probably not strong enough feeding.  I haven't actually used one for nearly a decade so no idea personally what effect leaving it loaded and wound up will have but hopefully someone can chip in.

More than likely if they do have them in stock (and it is a big if ) then i’d Be inclined to think there probably sending them to to new US orders instead of your’s , there international customer service is atrocious ! They don’t give a flying f**k about foreign customers problems at all ! If you can’t get to the shop to complain or get them on the phone then your at there mercy .?

 

[Rogerborg]

An Eagle 6 M80 spring and Laylax metal bushings for my AEP.  That was pretty nerve wracking getting it all back together, but it's pewing OK on a 7.4V lipo and sounds fairly snappy (hopefully not the gearbox).  Notionally that'll be 260fps, which ought to give the chrono chaps a surprise.

it was a bulk order for me and my team. I get 5% discount from longbow as I am an affiliate.

 

[B.S]

Finally decided I'd get myself a Webley, along with a hard case so I'm not showing up with my CM18 in the box it came in!

Welcome back

 

[Druid799]

Barely used S.T.A.R. XR5 at the NAE , was selling a load of kit , guy next to me had it , ended up swapping a dog ruff AK (and some beer tokens hence it’s in ‘what have you just bought’) said it was faulty not feeding properly and poor range . Had a quick look , no nub and the gearbox was dry as a cream cracker! New nub and a liberal application of silicon and now great range and running very smoothly but best of all ITS THE SILLY WHITE ONE ! ???

 

[clumpyedge]

New pink oil paint pen - you know for marking stuff

Magpul Mlok Para Clip

Colemans propane

 

[Solly4568]

Longer tight bore barrels (zci) for the r8-l and my bros raider L. Why do I always order stuff while I am away and can’t fit them when they arrive ? . And managed to find a peli hard case that fits 2 rifles, my glock and everything else I could need for a good day of airsoft ?
