Is anyone here a machinist or does anyone know a machinist they'd recommend? Have tried LCs but have been getting no response.

What method have you used to contact LCs ? email is best, Jim does get back to you , but it can take a while as he is so busy.

Email. First in January a few times and he got back to me to say he was in the middle of a large contract till the end of Feb. Reached out again start and mid march, then mid April, then end of September again but not heard back. 
 

Im not slating him at all and I appreciate he’s busy. Great guy and had work done by him before - just not wanting to wait any longer lol!

OKAY, back again about systema ptw stuff.

I'm trying to make one of the long m16's with the grenade launcher. My issue is I know systema ptw guns use real steel proportions, so I'm worried if I buy an AEG style front end (not the outer barrel just the launcher and top hand guard part) just to get the grenade launcher and made by E&C see attached I'm just wondering if the fittings to get the nade launcher and hand guard/heat sheild would be out of spec to fit a real steel D-ring and front gas block

Okay so I think I made the deal of a lifetime thanks to me and the guy I got this from not having a clue what we had on our hands.

So. I just grabbed what I thought was an airsoft m16a2 with no batter and only one mag. But i wanted a metal bodied carry handle m16 thing to make a retro build. But the mags looked weird, and I had to adjust the hop with a little grub screw in the mag well.

Turns out I just bought a Systema ptw m16a2 for a steal.. Anyone know where I can get mags for it in the uk? Otherwise, I'm going to have to order them from Hong Kong and the UK retailers I looked at only have the modern style mags at £30 a pop. 

Why are these system PTW things so expensive? The version I got looks to retail for $1700 American?

A systema PTW was essentially the pinnacle of airsoft for a while, they have their own gearbox and system. They were effectively the formula one racing cars of airsoft. They were known for precision engineering, excellent performance, range, trigger response and their 1:1 with real steal parts. 

However they were also known for needing lots of specialist help, motor rewinds and expensive upkeep. Some trooped on through rain storms.....most stopped working in a slightly humid environment....let alone rain (this is an exaggeration), issues with feeding and random mosfet problems.

Like a formula one racing car they were expensive to get, expensive to maintain and easily broken (especially when poor quality bbs were used) and they'd stop working alot. But when they worked - they were pretty much the best on the field. 

It's a dying platform now, few are making aftermarket parts, but with the improvements in pretty much all other RIFs, they're now expensive for little (if any) gain.

Yeah, as far as I have seen its things like £250 brushless motors and stuff, and I'm like " oh cool. I accidentally bought a high maintenance rich people gun" the one I have feeds fine and I'm just grabbing mags for it atm :]. From what I can tell, this gun is at LEAST ten years old and going strong

It'll still turn heads thanks to its signature sound but yeah, in terms of performance they're wildly outdated..

OK, I see what you mean. They don't list it as compatible with AK mags, but I guess if you shove them in and don't use the flaps, then they work.

Anyone else having grief with royal mail.

Nothing lost but they I've had 96-hour deliveries on packages that were supposed to be delivered within 48 hours of RM receiving them. I don't live anywhere remote either so there's no excuse.

WildBoneZ
Unacceptable delivery times especially when your paying the premium of a 48hr window. @Galvatron 

Claims process seems to be a bit of a joke as well, the previous 2 times I claimed give all details and nada from them. looks like I'm about to be out of pocket a 3rd time.
