Yeah looks like it, but the dovetail is too high and stops any of the accessories clamping onto the edges properly.

 

I'll consider that one too as ordering within uk will be easier, although says it's weaver not picatinny, will have to check how wide the bars that fit in the gaps are on my scopes etc, whatever they're called

 

Should be fine, it's the spacing between the gaps that changes rather than the size of the gap.

you were correct, i tip my hat to you sir

I'm getting the 509mm if it makes a difference. Thanks

What are you trying to gain fps or accuracy?

[Sappysid101]

Accuracy only a stock barrel atm

I wouldnt get either they are both a waste of money. If you want accuracy its mainly about your hop being set up right get a good bucking and nub combo and play around with your hop setting. If you want a good barrel for accuracy a tightbore is the wrong way to go. Get a decent 6.05 or 6.08 or even an orga widebore 6.13.

[Sappysid101]

I'm looking to buy new hop parts at the same time complete over haul. What brand would you recommend then? Orga?

 

Only looked at madbull as I was told they're a good bang for buck purchase

Generally speaking a TBB is for power, not accuracy, but some barrels do improve accuracy because their inner polish is so good that whatever stability you gain from your hop set up is not lost as the BB travels down the barrel. So for eg, a Raven 6.05mm is a TBB, compared to a standard 6.08mm barrel, but it would increase accuracy also, especially if you get an H-nub, or RA-Tech hop cushion, and a good rubber like a Prometheus Purple (soft). I've also recently been quite impressed by Maple Leaf 60 degree Monster Hop Bucking, but you cannot combine those with a specialised nub and I'm not convinced they are better than the combination of soft sticky rubber and centering nub.

I find the normal TM bucking perfoms well with a hnub. I have been messing around with shaving the bucking like your are doing a flat hop and using an element white hnub takes a bit of playing to get everything perfect but works really well. Just dont expect your bucking to last long.

Best timed BFG?

[Ian_Gere]

Yeah, an h-nub will improve accuracy with any rubber - bloke i went to Bluestreak with this weekend was using one with a G&G green rubber and getting good results / i have that same set up in my AKS-47, but the benefit of a really sticky rubber like the Prometheus Purple (soft) is that it takes very little hop on to achieve the backspin needed for the hop effect, so applying hop does not reduce FPS as much as with a harder rubber. I have yet to try those 40 degree rubbers which ehobbyasia have had listed for a while, but i suspect they may be a viable but cheaper solution...

Best timed BFG?

Mk5 thunder flash, cheaper, easier to strike and reload, no pins or parts to lose and you won't go home crying when it lands in a bog / pond / bush / scrotes pocket never to be seen again.

 

The SWAT can be bought with 50 9mm blanks for £125 to your door from LWA

For the same price you can get 65 Mk5s delivered from Airsoft world.

 

Yes the next 50 shots will only cost you £30, BUT thats a big assumption that in the first 50 throws you haven't lost it, its not been stolen, you haven't lost the reload pin and it doesn't break.

 

Plus you cant put the value on the ability to properly throw a thunderflash and the feeling of vulnerable terror when you enemy hears the ominous hiss.

For re-usable (rather than thunderflash which is excellent throw away stuff) then Dynatex is pretty awesome, although the current load they're making all seem to come with about a 10 second fuse, requiring abit of silicon oil and use to get down to the expected 6 seconds

What kind of results will a m90 and m100 spring have on my gun?

[Lozart]

What kind of results will a m90 and m100 spring have on my gun?

They'll give it different muzzle velocities. In theory the m100 should be around 328ish, the m90 a little less (290). Wildly variable in practice though.

[n1ckh]

An M100 in my upgraded M4 sent me over the limits but an M90 gives me about 300fps

Hi,

 

Will a Pmag fit into a pouch designed for an M4 mag? (single stacked size)

Yes, although they can be a little bit tighter in the pouch in my experience. Shouldn't be a problem though.

can anyone identify the colour of my rifle, and possibly point me in the right direction for a spray can full?

Looks like olive drab to me but it's not a great photo.

[Mack]

Looks more Dark Earth or khaki in these photos

 

[Lozart]

It looks a different colour in every shot!

[geoffreym]

thanks for adding the photos, for some reason my computers are not allowing me to copy and paste things into the chat box, I think I remember something about it being Dark Earth on the description (which no longer exists). but isn't there a load of numbered Dark earth colours?

here's a pic of the mag, same colour as the gun, it just doesn't look tan to me

[Ian_Gere]

That mag looks like what Krylon call Stone to me, Geoff. But the gun pics look khaki.

 

Oops - Krylon call it River Rock.

Appreciated, thanks.
