Then again it does look pretty nice as it's faded in with the green. After I got over the initial shock (I freely admit I’m a right grumpy old purest when it comes to Brit weapons) but I really like it ! Need to stick some howling mad scope on it and a drum mag in it ta boot ! 😂😂 Duff 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

emilianoksa Posted May 30, 2018 Share Posted May 30, 2018 Couple of metal hicap LCT AK mags arrived today. Very nice external quality. Hoping they work as good as they look. Wo1f 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sonofsammo Posted May 30, 2018 Share Posted May 30, 2018 Dye i4 woody arrived today. It's comfy, but I'm not sure about the quality of the lens. Seems to be some kind of horizontal line across the middle. Not sure if it's reflections or what. Looking forward to trying it out though!

Tried pumping the HPA tanks but barely making a dent in the pressure gauge with a hand pump Might try CO2 initially, until I can find somewhere to fill the cylinders. Missing the bit to connect to the CO2, so will have to source one. So far can only find them on US websites. Cheers G Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then you have to take breaks to stop it over heating. You're a Mall player aren't you? How local to reading are you? I can show you where to get your tanks filled and help you get the gun set up if you like? Oh and you play ambush eversley. I know the guy who runs that. If you get stuck with the gun (or want to sell it ) let me know and I'll come out and help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those sites were easier to get to for parking etc than Bunker 51, about the same timewise, and didn't fancy carrying a load of gear on the tube, especially a RIF ;-).

Cheers Very true, some dive shops don't like HPA tanks, the one's that fill from large tanks probably won't, but those with compressors should be fine.. Worst case, buy a scuba tank and get that filled no problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was searching for Dive shops since last night, nothing really local and no mention of filling HPA for paintball/airsoft. Just restarted searching, this time for Diving Shop, and there is one in walking distance and it does! £4 for a filled tank, though as a Scuba tank is £5 longer term might be more cost effective. They open at 12, so will be ringing in 18 mins 😉 Now just need the hose to arrive .... Took ages to fill 400psi with the hand pump, TFFT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have one 10 minutes form my work, wander in, fill up 2 48ci tanks and I'm gone pretty quick haha. I only use HPA for GBBR's and pistols so I'm not pumping out 1000's of rounds, enough to warrant a scuba to fill me up during the day. I would suggest play a few games and see what air you're at after, if you're running low by the end or mid way then perhaps a scuba could be a good investment.

MisterG Posted May 31, 2018 Share Posted May 31, 2018 Supposedly will get about 1000 shots from 1 tank, so probably looking at 2 tanks per skirmish, though the more I play the less I spray 😉 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're only 15 minutes from eversley. https://www.divestyle.co.uk Could be done before a game day easily enough. You'll need a fill station though for them to attach to their big tank. I took my tank and then this fill station in and it was no problem https://moderncombatsports.co.uk/products/scuba-air-tank-refill-station Really though @MisterG - it's all too much of a faff.

I'll give you £230 for the Tippmann 'kin 'ell give me a chance to at least shoot it 😁 Went to the shop, a whole 12 minutes to walk there, got more of a workout from the pump. Unfortunately the one I took to fill was leaking, he can try a fix it, won't be ready until Saturday, might just need an O ring The other one is half full, came with 1000psi and I managed to top up with another 500. I'll use that to test the gun, but when I got back nice red card from Royal Mail, so no doubt they tried to deliver the hose while I was out. At least my bits for the G36C arrived, new piston and a few other bits and bobs, got some spares too. Gotta get to work on it, otherwise I will be running round Eversley with an Evo, though I bet it will out distance the rentals at the very least.
