Magazine Purging and Another Question.
Shamal and one other reacted to ImTriggerHappy for a topic
Actually most airsofters and even techs will offer advice and more, I have done hundreds of hours of free work to help people out because that is the way the community is for the most part. The general camaraderie in the community is second to none. Most techs will inwardly groan and back away once they hear the issue is because you messed with it without having a clue and fucked it up though. Generosity only goes so far and while helping the unfortunate is good for karma helping those who brought in on themselves is another form of karma. Don't use maintenance gas for anything other than maintenance and dry firing is fine.2 points -

Aye, I use green gas in all of my Marui Glocks and haven't killed the slides on any of them yet. Granted that's not entirely useful information, different shape/sized slides will likely have different breaking points. I've never fit one myself but from what I understand with the Guarder Glock kits they're a bit of a nightmare to fit, no idea how that translates to the other Guarder kits but food for thought. Granted it seems like them being a prick to fit might be a plus in your case ?. As for losing trades, you'd be able to get those engraved/etched on there somewhere if you particularly wanted to. Of all the Ali things I've read on this forum, this might be the most Ali thing I've read on this forum.1 point

Ive actually been trying to destroy the stock plastic slide on my 4.3 whilst I wait on Airsoft Masterpiece to finally deliver the Battlecat 4.3. Given the plastic slide has no real value 2nd hand and I’ve already swapped out the BBU for my go-tos, I figured I’d Mythbust NP3.0, No failure NP4.0, No failure Guarder performance gas? Well, that set the fire alarm off at work; the slide is fine Edit - It’s just as well you’re happy to dive in at the deep end if you’re going to stick a Guarder slide on there! Grab the dremel, hand files and a tub of mother’s aluminium polish!1 point

I wouldn't say that's the case, but hopefully you can understand how bumping the thread less than 24 hours after posting it on a Bank Holiday weekend and then bemoaning the community at large might rub folks the wrong way? Certainly an unusual tactic for trying to get advice/help. As with many of your other questions it's hard to say for sure because you've swapped things around. There are various parts in a GBB pistol that I'd personally consider consumables (nozzles, springs etc) in that I expect them to need swapping out at some point. Moving up from 144a will likely mean these parts would need swapping out quicker, but that's assuming those parts are currently stock. The one thing I wouldn't consider a consumable, though many (especially Hicapa builders) would, is the slide. As others have stated I've heard anecdotal evidence that green gas can kill Marui slides but I've never had it happen myself. Granted outside of a flamboyant Hicapa build which I've since sold I tend to keep my Marui pistols stock.1 point

Standard 144a is okay but can be too weak on a gun that is binding somewhere and can cause issues with the slide. Maintenance is full of lube and is not really designed for actual firing. Nuprol 2.0 would be fine and is ok in all but the really old tm pistols. Most times people claim that standard green gas knackered their guns they leave out the half a dozen times they dropped it which weakened something in the first place.1 point -

Assuming you're in the UK, or a handful of other places which are listed on HAOs website, shipping is currently suspended so I expect they'll get round to a cancellation/refund before it'd be getting sent out.1 point

Various Guns

Hi, that's a lovely little collection. I'm one of the raresoft guys. The Marui, that would be something to advertise at about the £450 mark. It looks like the CAW kit. Looks like the original reciever is there too? M1 carbine, £200, though a small market. T2 Shotgun, £275. Hold out for the right buyer, they are much better made than the S&T ones and properly boxed. There is a Terminator collectors group that would be a good place to get interest. The marui AK, is that still plastic bodied or has it been guardered? Systemas I don't know much about, sorry. The HFC Mauser carbine more along the £120-£140 ballpark. More if you find spare mags especially short ones.1 point -

Also half term has started. I'm not saying all kids are dumber than a box of rocks, but the number of idiot posts always goes up in the school holidays1 point -
Just be as historically accurate as you personally want to be and let other people do the same. Don't be a russian-gear-forum obsessive crazy person, there's already too many of those. Years ago I gave some kid an actual heart attack by just commenting how I liked useful things like some areas of pic rail on certain parts of an AK.1 point
