You can get them direct from the MTEK webpage or I believe they also have an Ebay store. They are designed to fit a MICH style helmet though so bear that in mind.

sorry another question....

pressure pads....how would you fit this one? just some velco or tape

can you get grips with a universal groove to fit this in?

already have the torch for other no airsoft reasons so this would be ideal instead of a new one

Just use some electricians tape. Not too tight as to press the switch, but tight enough that the pad won't move. Never had any issues after many skirmishes

Yes, you can get them on Amazon. They come in different sizes and colours

If I want to use an airsoft suppressor to hide a longer inner barrel is there any effective difference (other than weight) in regard to practical use between outer diameters from 30mm up to 40mm? 100mm and 200mm suppressors only.

if just hiding a longer inner barrel the outside diameter of a suppressor will be irrelevant as it will do nothing to deaden the sound

and i have the helmet ear sides anyway...

 

What do you refer to?

I think the attachable Fast helmet plastic side covers that protect the ears.

PT is right if the inner barrel reaches to the end of the suppressor. However if there is even a centimetre of gap between the end of the inner barrel and the muzzle, then the size of the suppressor and how much of it is open to air movement (ie not full of foam or completely blocked by something which stabilises the inner barrel) will affect the sound of the shot. In theory at least a wider suppressor will give you more potential for noise cancellation due to out of phase reverberation. That said, the effect is not at all pronounced...

Anyone know how to negate/remove the AK folding stock tactical wobble? Tried gluing some card to the back but didn't totally work...

I think the only way forward is to change either the catch or the bit of the stock it locks past. It depends on which make you have though whether you could do that by bending part of the stock, or whether you'd need to actually replace something.

indeed, ordered while I was shopping at AP!

 

will fit when mask arrives, they are the rubber ones, cheaper ones, I think others were Kevlar?

Ah, I assumed it was the pin between the stock and receiver. do E&L do replacement parts for their 105's?

Bit of rubber - inner tube or something or rubber washer - depending how thick or big the wobble

super glue, epoxy JB weld or something ????

No idea about spares, mate.

 

I'm pretty sure that it isn't the pin that causes the problem - i mean, it'd have to be such an obvious flaw, ie being too thin, for it to be the pin at fault - surely the manufacturer would have sussed and sorted it out? I spose you'd be able to tell on your own gun though - does it wobble when the stock is unlocked from the catch, when it's just the pin holding it? I've just checked my E&L and it's rock solid, but it also seems unlikely that the bit of the stock which locks with the catch could become bent, or the catch itself - i'd imagine that the welds holding the stock together would fail first, so i dunno, maybe the pin on yours is moody...

Question:- I have 3 mags for my we g18c, there all filled with the same gas and bbs, yet 1 of the mags, ridiculously over hops bbs. (And I keep forgetting which mag it is)

 

All mags hold gas, with no leakage etc

 

Any idea why?

Ask them to set the hop for 0.25 and use those instead. A lot more accurate than 0.2 bbs.
