you are all mad. Double Eagle M904 + some mags + Hookers + Blackjack - £500 = win.

I'm getting that lower and 10" handguard for this: Semi: Just installed the lonex helical gears and put a DSG in. Auto: I would chrono it but it's 3:30am and don't wanna piss off neighbours. This morning with SHS 12:1 gears: So glad I got rid of that annoying whine. I'm putting those spiral gears in everything now.

It seems that VFC MP5 GBB parts fit the MP5 NGRS its a shame no UK shops have any parts in In other news I got my new silencer in the post today, fits very nicely with the 3 lug adapter https://www.fire-support.co.uk/product/tokyo-marui-pro-silencer-short-type-115mm14mm-ccw-save

"Buy a TM recoil because it's got the best parts, then replace them all with bester parts." has a familiar ring to it. Where have I heard that before? ?

Like I said elsewhere most sites cant organise a decent days skirmish with 100 players why would we expect a bunch of magazine editors to be able to run a decent game for 400 people in a site they dont run?

You'd need to add a new spring too though. Every Cyma M14 I've fitted a new barrel to has bumped it up over 350FPS! Cyma M14s are THE BEST though. Or this:

That is why you need both a wife and a mistress. Because when your wife thinks that you are with your mistress, and your mistress thinks that you are with your wife... you are free to go airsofting uninterrupted.

All really well said. In my very humble opinion that everyone's more than welcome to disagree with there are some fantastic bargain AEGs to be had in the sub-£150 range. Personally (again, my own view...), I prefer the cheaper guns as they are much lighter (plastic), have less to go wrong (no recoil, MOSFETs, ETUs etc) and many come with a plethora of useful features out the box e.g. rail systems, tightbore barrels, half-decent internal gubbins etc. Plus I can afford them... Changing BB weight can also improve things in outdoor games, accuracy and consistency for one. I've gone to. 25s recently.

Tread carefully with AsiaAirsoft

A Japanese chap on IG got a VFC solid stock on his, so fingers crossed ??

I'm hoping ZCI deliver 1st week in November, just waiting to hear back from them. What size is the inner barrel you're after?

Think you've got your springs mixed up buddy, never said that about the Guarder springs. Gearparts springs is where I've done the 200,000 cycle test. Guarder don't even bother to oil their springs from the factory the cheap-skates ?

My stock Cyma SOCOM is awesome, try running it on 0.28s but keep it stock!

+1 on the cyma m14, my socom rocks even in stock form on .2's, think how awesome it'd be with a tbb & heavier ammo ?

Best out of the box rif I ever owned was the TM m14. Decent length inner barrel and great hop set up. Do it. Dooo iiit!

That said. There is a little known law that states all M14's MUST look like this one

If I was spending £500 tomorrow as a newbie, I would get a Cyma M14 and ask a decent tech to fit a simple 'fet, tightbore and Maple Leaf bucking. IIRC a metal toothed piston is a good idea for one too. You will have a great shooting rifle for around £230 - £250. As the man above says, recoil systems etc are a pain in the nuts. A simple mosfet to protect the titchy trigger contacts on a CYMA is a good idea though I think. The rest I'd spend on decent boots, eyepro and a minimal set of webbing etc. The change I'd spend on satisfying post-game burgers, or possibly Curly Wurlys, with a chance of scotch.

Have you tested the gun with it fully built? It may not be a huge issue. I am running a zci 229mm which seems to be fine however the lips need trimming for reliable feeding. It is also possible your hopup rubber is a anomaly and is a bit different to the rest.

Ah, the bucking bronco.

I'm sure someone made a video about that...

I've got an M904G and seen some of you mention putting maple leaf macaron hop rubbers on the standard barrel, but mine doesn't seem to fit properly. The protruding part on the inside of the rubber doesn't quite fit the cutout in the barrel. When I push the rubber down through the cutout, the wider end of the protrusion catches on the thin piece of barrel between the cutout and the end of the barrel. If I stretch the rubber on to the barrel a bit more it works fine, but the rubber won't stay there on its own. I've measured the thin section of barrel between the cutout and the end at 2mm and I think the clearance between the rubber inner protrusion and the end of the rubber (on the inside) is about 1.5mm. The rubbers are from @ak2m4 so are genuine. Does anyone know whether the rubbers are out of tolerance or is 2mm of barrel section more than normal? I'm also interested to know if the ZCI barrel has a thinner section between cutout and end. Would appreciate any pointers. Airsoft Dad.

A new PTS Masada GBBR (patrol base clearly did a clear out of the back of the store house). Could either be the a great purchase or a nightmare if something breaks as im sure they are no longer being made....

True that, 0.28g is the minimum that I use in woodland now. And keep your expectations realistic: no amount of money, or belief, will prevent your BBs being effected by wind, rain, or foliage, and nor will they make your targets just sit still and wait for them. I'm perfectly happy and competitive with AEG toys in the £75-£140 range, plus the aforementioned hop rubbers and barrels. Aftermarket motors add snappiness and rate of fire. After that it's about BBs, getting the hop dialled in, and where you point it. If I were going to spend £500 on an airsoft toy, and the goal was maximum accuracy, i.e. maximum consistency, I'd forget about AEGs and think about trying-then-buying a used HPA package.

Op the best out of the box gun is the one where you spend 2mins removing the upper and swapping out the hop rubber for a maple leaf 50 or 60 and the matching omega nub. This can be done by the most noobie of noobies and requires literally no skill or knowledge of AEG's to achieve. Remove two bolts, lugs. Gently pull upper forwards. Remove hop from barrel, bish bash bosh. You have the most accurate AEG achievable. Personally I would avoid recoils like the plague, they are piss poor power out the box and a whore to work on compared to every other AEG on the market. I would look at a https://www.patrolbase.co.uk/specna-arms-daniel-defense-mk18-sa-e19-edge I got one of these second hand an upgrade the hop and spring in under 5mins. It is as good as my 1k Recoil that I sold because they keep breaking after you up the power and ROF. Really any AEG with the hop upgraded is going to more accurate than any out of the box AEG and it is sooooo simple to do. SO SIMPLE! Don't drink the TM Recoil coolaid.

Dave walked into the pub last night with a black eye. 'How did that happen?' I asked. Apparently, his wife asked him to make a bird table. She only came in at number seven.

Finished for now

isn't this a thread for jokes not well established facts?

well that turned up quicker than I was expecting. Ordered the 9th and arrived 5 days later from Hong Kong. DE ACP556 pictured below the Arrow Airsoft ACP9. I can do a seperate review if people would think it would be useful.
