Nice, currently looking for one myself, preferably UK based given my ongoing struggles with border force. And I forgot to upload a pic of my beast as I said I would...

Spartan09 Posted September 1, 2023 Share Posted September 1, 2023 Quick pics on my living room floor (rug needs a hoover. Got to buy new hoover after motor burned out) Got a Theta Optics red dot on top, and a smoke generator suppressor on the front, with an Acetech Brighter R tracer unit fitted behind the smoke generator. Had to modify the suppressor by replacing the original fore end cap with one from a boneyard Spitfire tracer to give the needed clearance, plus removing the rear cap of the Acetech in order to fit the tracer unit in the suppressor casing. Gives an impressive effect, and certainly turns heads at sites. Don't have a video of the smoke effect... closest I have is an action shot from a game day after firing, as the smoke is being dissipated by the breeze 6 hours ago, Nick G said: Mine came from SIXmm in Hong kong.

I shortened my gas tube slightly even to use in the boxmag. Also invested in a pack of conector clips to stop the gas tube being unintentionally released.

Oh I did cut a space for the pipe on the feed guides like the one on the VFC mag too but a little larger Nick G 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick G Posted September 3, 2023 Author Share Posted September 3, 2023 (edited) What weight BB's are we all using ? Did a bit of experimenting with the hop yesterday in a mate's orchard. Hop fully on sent .25's heading for the moon , so plenty of ability to handle heavier BB's. I'm thinking of switching to .28's next game as a compromise between weight and cost. The .30's that I generally run in all my GBBR's and pistols will start getting expensive in the 249 although I could be tempted to try 'em .

Nick G Posted September 3, 2023 Author Share Posted September 3, 2023 Just had a play in the garden with .30's. Looks like they are indeed the way to go. Still some adjustment left in the hop too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Currently using .28s, but will probably try switching to .30 or .32 when they run out. I also load my mags to give 5 tracer BBs to every 20 normal BBs, loading each mag to the 175 mark. Hoping someone can make a 3d printed adapter to fit on a my G&G speed loader, as the supplies speedloader is a pain to use, and the adapter won't fit without a lot of messing about.

Nick G Posted September 3, 2023 Author Share Posted September 3, 2023 Like the mix with the tracers, very cool ! Oddly I find the loader ok to use, but wouldn't want to try to reload with it in a game . An adapter for a more compact loader would be good.

Spartan09 Posted September 3, 2023 Share Posted September 3, 2023 Oh yeah, it's fine to use in the safe zone on a table, but out on the field between games, it's a pain... so an adapter is definately needed Nick G 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1st commando Posted September 4, 2023 Share Posted September 4, 2023 I actually only load to either 100 or 120 as I don't think the mags will be as reliable filled to 175 given that VFC refer to them as 100 round mags with only a side note saying "they can be made to fit 175 with a mechanical loader" Nick G 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But putting less stress on the spring can't be a bad thing. 1st commando 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw this video last night, but didn't get round to posting it here. I will probably only do the nozzle spring mod to my one, as improved accuracy is never a bad thing, and i may also add the washers in the bolt carrier. i definitely wont be HPAing my one though, nor will i be doing the AEG box mag conversion. still need to get out to a site and set up the adjustable nozzle valve i fitted last month (only been to one game since then and it was a CQB site, so i dont think an M249 would be very welcome there XD) Nick G 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm thinking the same, I would considder hpa, but the bottle would have to fit in a box mag, Cant be doing with the whole ghostbusters look.
