Ordered 3 of the GM Pmags for the MWS - two of the three are pissing gas out the outlet valves and the casing almost as fast as I can fill them!

The one that does work is nice and consistent, shame the other two are lemons! See what the retailer says…

For the time they were in transit? ?

PF taking the piss as per usual.

KICBB shipped parcel on 27th, Arrived in the UK on 28th, Customs charges raised on 29th.

PF has done nothing since, but won't let me pay the charges until it reaches the local depot, but customs won't release it until the charges are paid.

Having trouble with UPS fucking around and refusing to give any tracking or delivery info on a 18airsoft order that I've already provided the missing info + paid the fees on. Anybody got any ideas on how to get them to budge that doesn't including sitting on the phone talking to people who have no idea what's going on for hours or am I going to have to waste a painful few to get it released? Storage charges start on the 6th so I'm not too confident on waiting for them to reply to the two emails I've sent so far.

If its a consolation, Royal Mail also sat on an 18Airsoft order of mine for almost a month after i had paid the customs fees. It eventually arrived, but I spent hours on the phone - and with RM it was taking an average of an hour in the queue before some clueless fool even answered it.

Seeing lots of near new prices in the gbbrs classifieds section at the moment… interesting ? 

Tackle
Imagine this scenario, a member is fed up with the silly prices some people are asking, they know what shit costs & where to get it, but options for speaking your mind & calling them out are limited, theres only one solution, use an obscure af email address to create an account purely for the purpose of ripping the shit out of them.?

Thank God nobody here would do that?

If you're wondering why you got a warning, your username is Leoboss55, not Leo.

There are reasons why it's important it matches, especially when it comes to very very new members.

what is going on with the website. I'm not able to enter classifieds section

Most if not all of us are having issues, we'll just need to wait until it's fixed.

You've been here nearly a month, plenty of time to acquaint yourself with the classifieds rules.

Sort it out.

Tackle
Read the rules before posting in the classifieds, in particular those that mention username/date in pics, & an item can only be advertised in one category at a time.

Tackle
Read the rules, the username & date needs to be on an additional piece of paper, not digitally added to the pics.

The whole point is an attempt to add an extra layer of security, to protect ALL members, you included.

Hi, apologies, I've read the rules but can't work out what I'm doing wrong? My username and date is written on a piece of paper with the items sitting on it? Will try to make it more obvious next time around.

Thank you for replying, as you've said, it doesn't look obvious, it looks digitally added, which is the kinda thing that scammers do with other people's pictures, not helped by the fact that while you've been a member here for 5 years, you've barely got any posts, so there is always a concern that little used profiles may have been hacked.

Please amend it to be more obvious, in good faith I'll knock off the second warning & amend my text to be not so salty.

Thanks, understood and makes complete sense. Have updated details on 1st photo. 5 years... just waiting for the boy to get old enough to start airsoft with me... then there'll be some posts. ?

Finally got my S&T No.4 Mk.I after being excited for it for weeks... Only to get a lemon ? Is this the universes way of telling me I don't need more pews?!

Yep - with the mags, the spring pressure from having them fully filled can give issues with the loading fin (and more likely, the C clip pinging off). Yes, the thrust bearing allows the spring to rotate, and helps with a smoother bolt pull and efficient/consistent power delivery.

Honestly, it's worth persevering. The last game that I played with the lee enfield was supremely fun. Super satisfying taking out AEG/HPA players with a bolt action, and you will probably find it pretty accurate and long ranged.

I may take another look at it to be honest. If they're all problematic (As it seems) I may as well fix the one I have and know it's fixed haha. I'm going to recheck the fin piece and make sure it is actually doing its job properly

I rebuilt it this morning as a “I’m bored let’s see” and it works, fired every BB! That’s with the original parts fully, however I’m only getting about 330 fps on a .2g. Prior to the strip and rebuild I was getting 405 fps. That being said though, I have a new spring and metal loading fin on its way today so I can replace the weak parts, then just got to replace the inner barrel with something better. 
 

But, she shoots!

anyone know if ak mags will fit into 556 kydex pouches?

Galvatron

I just tried a Cyma Bulgarian mag and it fits in the pouch but I needed to do it bottom end first as the rear latch toward the top of the mag gets in the way.

ive heard 5.45 style mags should fit. really wanted an ak but dont wanna spend more money on new pouches :s

Technically they fit, but you'll find that pulling out and reindexing magazines will get annoying QUICK.

AK magazines, regardless of the shape, have two latches on the top that get in the way of each other and if you are dead set on using 5.56 kydex, you will have to insert mags in a specific order and take them out in reverse.

I suggest using dedicated AK kydex because they have dividers made specifically to prevent said latches from snagging on each other.

The problem is, options are very limited, if running a mk5/d3crm/A1 hub Hugo Industries make this https://hugoindustries.com/products/snag-free-ak-magazine-insert

Other manufacturers (L4 Performance for example) make similar inserts but they're not compatible with the aforementioned rigs/placards.

Personally I gave up on trying to find a decently priced insert for my A1 hub, should I want to run the AK I'll just use my battle belt (Templars Gear taco style mag pouches)

Bit of a weird one but does anyone in the Huddersfield/Halifax area want to help drive myself and my brother to Anzio camp tomorrow? We'll pay for the ticket and put towards fuel?

Pesky new work filter now blocks AFUK.

Handily I also use my own tablet for notes and they can’t block that ?

Well, I've returned after a couple years of inactivity. Still setting my new kit up, breaking into HPA properly this time round.
