Broking - making other people broke (just messing)

did I spell it wrong?

 

yeah my uncles all work in business, all made a killing in it.... but it's better to have less money i think, they are certainly unhappy or unhappier than us... but they have 100 times the money

Do AK74 mags fit in 5.56/"M4" mag pouches?

[M_P]

Depends on the pouch, generally no or at least a tight fit I found but I've not used many Ak mags.

Hello,

I was talking to someone about my WE M9. He said that WE guns can use CO2 instead of Green gas and apparently it works better in cold weather.

Do I need to buy some kind of conversion kit or can WE guns take CO2 standard?

[jcheeseright]

just CO2 magazines. A mate of mine runs his glock exclusively on CO2 and it very rarely misses a beat.

Do AK74 mags fit in 5.56/"M4" mag pouches?

As M_P said, they can be a bit tight. Basically if the pouch holds a STANAG mag tightly you will struggle getting a 74 mag in and out quickly, but if they are a bit loose, yeah no problem. Open top pouches should be fine.

Do AK74 mags fit in 5.56/"M4" mag pouches?

 

They fit in WAS 5.56 pouches but only one at a time (unlike the M4 mags which you can fit 2 in) the top flap should work too as long as you don't adjust it too short.

yes CCW and CW thread. So they do go on without cross threading both... cross check your silencer and your outer barrel make sure they are right

Why do you want to add one?

[AirsoftTed]

Anyone know of anyone who does custom builds as Dave's custom once did? Looking to have an M72a9 made as I don't have the time or space to do it myself at the moment so someone UK based who can work with PVC?

[airsoftwarrior147]

It's him message him in facebook

[AirsoftTed]

It's him message him in facebook

I already contacted him and he no longer does builds. Retail only were his exact words

Is there a beginners tech guide or youtube series that any of you can recommend? I've found a few which are kinda helpful in places but almost everything I find give almost no help for actual beginners. So far I've stuck to guns decent out of the box, (Combat machine and TM recoil) but I want to try and learn how to improve internals. I have an ICS L85 that needs some TLC

Something you need to know is that ICS L85's are not parts compatible with most gearboxes. Off the top of my head I recall that the cam on the sector gear will not work if you replace it with a standard gear set and, i'm pretty sure, the piston is proprietary also.

 

You could look on youtube. I've taught myself to tech my guns by watching YT vids to find someone taking that gun apart and reassembling it, then having a go. It has been trial and error. Many errors

 

I suspect everyone develops their own techniques, but the first thing you probably want to know is how to prevent the gearbox from pinging parts all over the room when you open it: use a thin screwdriver to insert into the spring guide and hold the main spring down against the left hand half of the shell, but the first you need to know is to release any tension in the gears. I use a bent paperclip to poke up through where the motor attaches and hook around the anti-reversal latch; i then pull it to disengage the ARL allowing the gears to spin backward; it can take 2-3 goes before there is no tension at all - failing to do this can cause teeth to be knocked off the sector gear.

Fair enough but that's barely £15. Not insignificant but still...hardly a fortune.

what is best way of looking after steel receivers to prevent rust forming in nooks and crannies? When I used air rifles it was a rag with generic "gun oil", any better ideas out there?
