lol wtf are you on about. Absolutely childlike understanding of firearms law and the political zeitgeist, mixed in with some cliche quasi-fascistic 4chan meme bullshit.

Managed to re use an old plug and solder a longer length of wire to it, whilst I was at it I threaded it through the handguard and also made my Unity button into a momentary switch as I prefer that to on/off. Had to disassemble the tiny button and basically super glued the 2 'clicky' parts together to remove the function and make it permanently momentary. If you ever wondered how clicky pens worked as a kid and took them apart to find out like me, It's the same mechanism. ?

Second upper coming along, just waiting on some cosmetic bits and some Krylon: It’s as ugly as it is heavy but I like it.

Sounds like most airsofters

Evening all. I'm hoping someone with experience of both versions of this gun can tell me the feasibility of my plan. Heads up, it's a bit niche. ? What I want: The full auto (metal slide) version, with a metal frame, with no under rail, that takes the full auto CO2 mags. The problems I have: I have 2 full auto versions with 10 mags. They have metal slides and plastic bodies, with a riveted under rail. I ordered two metal bodies which never came. What did come from that order was 1 green gas magazine... which doesn't fit the full autos. This has led me to believe that at least one metal frame is incompatible with my full auto slides. Is this the case? Why the **** am I doing this? Because I have a Deadpool cosplay and the holsters are sculpted to fit his Desert Eagles that have a railed barrel like the XIX but no under rail. I don't particularly want to drill the rail rivets out and would much prefer to replace the entire plastic frame with a metal one. Hopefully that makes sense. Apologies it's a bit specific but I was on the cusp of buying two full metal semi-auto versions, just for the frames, when that magazine mis-fit gave me pause. Included is a pic of DPs gun. I want that, but full auto, full metal, CO2 powered. Can it be done? Cheers in advance

Finally got all the bits together for my mws upper. Chronoing at 349-350 with .2g Get to try it out at Spartan on Sunday

Built this up last week , all stock TM internals apart from an upgraded recoil spring and it was running ok but the nozzle return couldn’t keep up , and the hop rubber (original , estimated at 10yr old ) was gash , fitted a maple leaf inner & hop rubber and a nozzle return spring from an AAP01 and it’s running like a boss . New gas routers and mag valves on the way too so hopefully it’ll make a reliable warm weather plinker . And just for picture porns sake , ? hello , you replied while I was replying with the Sig the Beretta is a TM in a Guarder kit , original finish and modified pachmayr grips ( not by me , the front section has been cut out , rear section not installed) they’d normally come like this

Inforce WML mounted at 12oc right at the front of the rail. Ambidextrous and low profile ?

Just got these in the mail. Claw Gear Mk2 Operator Pants in RAL 7013 (colour is off in the picture, it's the middle ground between OD and RG), now I *might* need some internal knee pads.

38" is bang on for my body, still a tiny bit of slack. 32" inseam is a touch long but I can live with it (I wish they made a 30" inseam, would've been perfect)

“Aah yes ! the seriously mentally scaring happy memories of days gone by ! “ ? ?????

Cheers all, I've just order three batteries and a charger - hopefully will be all set up in time for next weeks game at Reforger.

No, but there were 2 girls and 1 cup

Canapé: a term describing a bankrupt Scotsman.

Put white BBs in a pink bottle? I mean for all that you'll actually see of them while playing.

Need something a bit more professional …

Double Eagle B&T ACP 556 let’s start off with a little real steel history about the B&T APC. Brugger and Thomet from Switzerland also known as B&T produced the first Advanced Police Carbine (APC) in 9mm in 2011 followed shortly by other small arms calibre’s in .40 S&W, 10mm auto and .45 ACP. They have been awarded a contract with the US Army to provide the ACP9K for a reported $2.6 million dollars. Around 2019 B&T started to sell the ACP556 which is a 5.56mm version of the smaller 9mm ACP. The ACP556 can be bought with 4 different styled stocks and a couple of different barrel lengths. All use standard Stanag 5.56mm magazines and can be fitted with various rail accessories on the picatinny rails covering the gun. Moving on to the Airsoft version produced by Double Eagle and licensed from B&T we have a pretty accurate AEG with full trades. The features include a Falcon gearbox with built in mosfet (the same gearbox in their DE904 range which I reviewed a while back), 6.04mm tightbore barrel, quick change spring and comes with the PDW style retractable stock. The AEG is full metal apart from the polymer lower, stock butt pad and the side mounted picatinny rails on the front sides of the AEG. Most of the metal seems to be aluminium and die cast zinc. With an empty magazine attached the AEG weighs about 2.9kg (6.4lbs) so not heavy weight or lightweight either. I’ll talk about the box that the ACP is shipped in first before moving on to the actual AEG. The box is quite a nice little addition. It’s made from polystyrene and is foam lined. Inside the box you actually get a couple of handles to fit to the outside and it turns into quite a nice little carry case. It’s very light and unlikely to survive getting run over by a tank but I’d like to see other manufacturers doing something similar. The box ever has 4 catches to keep the box closed and these work well. Inside the box you will find the AEG, a copy of the B&T magazine and in this case a 180bb midcap. You will also find some paperwork telling you how to program the mosfet, attached the handles to the case and an exploded diagram of all the parts of the AEG. Also inside the box is the handles for the box plus a screwdriver to use to fit them, a deans to mini-tamiya converter, a spare deans for your battery and an Allen key. Let’s not forget the cleaning rod. Lets move on to the AEG itself. It has no creaks, wobbles or loose bits but lets start from the muzzle and work back. The flash hider is zinc cast and attached to the aluminium barrel with a -14mm thread and held in place with a grub screw that needs a 1.5mm allen key to remove. Once removed you can see that the inner barrel extends to the end of the outer barrel. The fake gas plug rotates 90 degrees’, just like the real thing if you were running a suppressor and if you rotate it 180 degree’s it can be removed from the gun. This serves no real purpose and I think DE missed a trick here as they could have had a 4.5mm Allen key in the end of the rod to remove the cap for the quick-change spring. The upper receiver is full metal and has picatinny rails along the whole top length, the whole lower portion before it meets the lower receiver, and the sides have plastic picatinny rails attached. The Iron sights are a copy of the B&T sights and move in elevation on the front and windage on the real as per the real thing. The rear also has 2 apertures for day/low light shooting The charging handle or cocking handle, whatever you prefer to call it, is swappable from left to right side. When pulled back the bolt locks in place to allow the rotary hop wheel to be adjusted and can be released by the ambi bolt lock. The magazine release and fire selector controls are also ambi. The fire selector controls have nice solid click to them when moved and the shape reminds me of the G36 fire controls. The upper and lower receiver have authentic markings, just like the real thing and there seems to be a serial number printed on the lower handguard but I’m not sure if this is unique. The lower receiver is solid and comfortable to hold and all the controls are within finger or thumb control. The pistol grip houses the motor and has a brass adjustment screw in the bottom if you feel the need to adjust the motor height. Moving to the back of the AEG we have the sliding stock and battery storage. The sliding stock is one of the 4 styles that can come with the real ACP556 and works very well. There is very little wobble when fully extended and can be pulled out with one hand and locked into 1 of the 3 available positions. The battery compartment is a nice touch. You press a lever on the back of the receiver and the cover flips up to reveal the battery compartment and the quick-change spring location. Inside is a deans connector and I have fitted a 11.1v Lipo inside without issues. The quick change spring is covered by a cap that needs to be removed using a 4.5mm Allen key and this allows the bearing spring guide to be removed using a flat headed screwdriver. Once removed you can swap out the spring for your desired FPS. Moving onto using the AEG I’ll mention first that mine is firing hot. I’ve got a M90, M95 and M100 winging their way to me now so that I can find the best spring to get it firing sub 350 FPS. I’m a bit of a fan-boy for the Falcon gearbox and this AEG is no exception. It fires really nice with a 11.1V Lipo and it has the same programmable settings which I raved about in the DE904 review. If you missed that review then out the box it has 3 trigger pull settings, variable burst settings (1 to 5 rounds or full auto) and has a Binary trigger. A binary trigger is when you pull the trigger backwards it fires and when you release the trigger it fires again. You don’t need any fancy boxes or app’s to set it up as it’s all done by the trigger. I’ve put a few magazines through the AEG now (more on magazines in a sec) and it hasn’t missed a beat. If you have used the DE904 then it’s basically one of those but in a different shell. I’m pretty happy with it to be honest and I’ll test out the range and accuracy with weekend. The Hop unit seems to be a plastic copy of the Pro-Win CNC hop up and works well. The hop rubber seems to be a cut down version so if you want to replace it you will need to remove some of the replacement to fit properly inside the hop unit. The inner barrel is 318mm long, with a 6.04mm inner diameter and has a conical cut in the last 10/15 mm of the sharp end of the barrel. I haven’t decided if I’m going to replace the hop rubber and inner barrel and this weekend I’ll see if they need to be swapped out. Okay, time to move on to the one negative I could find on this AEG. It’s not massive but needs to be mentioned. I’ve tried 11 different magazine makes/types and 8 work flawlessly, 1 takes a bit of fiddling to seat correctly but then works and 2 of them don’t stay in the magwell. The 2 that don’t work are midcaps. One is a PMAG with a capacity of around 85 and the other is a Midcap with a capacity of 120 rounds. Other midcaps fit and work perfectly. Strangly, I have a 85 midcap which looks exactly like the 120 midcap and it works and fits fine unlike the 120 version. I need to do a bit of measuring to figure it out, but I think it’s to do with the hop unit nozzle pushing down on the magazine and stopping the mag catch from engaging. For me, it’s not an issue as I have plenty of magazines that work in the AEG but you need to consider this if you think about buying one as you might need to buy some more magazines if the ones you have don’t work. I’ll add some more info to this review once I’ve used it in anger this weekend. Overall I’m happy with this AEG and it stands out from the M4 crowd.

My wife just found some letters I was hiding. She said she felt betrayed and could never trust me again. I was so ashamed. I felt like a fool and I felt so bad. She said she would never play scrabble with me again after that.☹️

New eye pro and dump pouch arrived, eye pro looks very promising… and the dump pouch is one I’ve owned previously so know what to expect. Aside something to carry hydration as we venture into the, what should be, warmer months alongside a can of gas and I’m pretty set ?. P.S. A picture of just some glasses and a dump pouch is decidedly boring so I went with some artist licence.

Wow that is luverlyyyy ? Nice to see it's sponsored by Facebook.? Regards

I didn’t bud Reason being that I ordered in plenty of time to receive the item for when I need them. The extra week delay on there part will be cutting things fine ? The postage charge was already £25, so to pay for “express” negated any savings, so I could have ordered from Amazon for the same money. I’d rather give the business to a retailer not Amazon Does the express charge just mean they go to the post office sooner with your order? Lol

Nice work dude.

So I can flash my RIF around in public as long as I'm wearing a costume? ?

My clone B6 has behaved impeccably for years. I can get a whole day out of a 1000mAh LiPo no worries with the gun set to single shot burst. Stick with 7.4s. I use 1500s for most games, the cheapest on Evilbay. I tend to charge everything in a lipo bag, in my line of sight. Standard NiMhs are shite in comparison.

Was there a ‘bikkie’ involved ?

That's cos your so sloppy when you eat salad, you should put yer teeth in ? Regards?

Did it have a happy ending?

Unless the grip is substantially thicker at the top, could you retain the existing motor shaft length, but shove it further up into the grip by packing underneath it? It seems like this might be more secure than introducing shoogliness (my word for the day) by putting in a longer shafted motor that may have more of its length inside the grip than its stock spring is intended to tension. Top quality enginenerding diagram, illustrating how you might be able to bodge it for the cost of a bit of dowel. You could test the theory by taking the end off the grip and shoving the existing motor right in by hand (well, by thumb) to see if it'll engage (in Minecraft, obviously, never do this to a real high quality airsoft replica, you'll 100% shred your gears and open a rift in the space time continuum). If so, you'll just / "just" need to get it pushed that far in by packing under it.

replacing it with a long motor works fine, I did this with my PDW

Not with the mutant. The stock tune screws into the body for you to put the battery in and get to the quick change spring.

Easy tiger....don't drag me into this. Whilst I sometimes might make a tongue-in-cheek comment, I try not to disrespect fellow members personally, especially those who have put a lot of time and effort to help people on here over many years. Can you say the same?

Just bought a scorpion evo to add to my collection. Filled a great space I had in my case. £220 with bag, 6mid caps and a high cap! Bargain in my eyes. Will be selling the bag and high cap on as I have no need for them

What are these 'shadows' of which you speak?

I'd send it to Luke at Negative and ask him to send me a skirmishable 1.1J AEG Uzi, by any means necessary.

What’s ya poison ? ?

First one in hell gets the round in.

I'll save you a seat when I get there That's why I can't tell jokes in the USA. My sense of humour is so dark the police would shoot it on sight

That'll cost you extra though Unless you're mates with the McCann family

The hissy fits and drama along with macks are the reason I keep checking in here. regarding this thread I now only have two aeg’s left, the least I have ever owned since starting this money pit of a hobby

I don't think he will. I hear getting rid of 3 year olds is difficult.

You must take in to consideration theirs a good few older players on here who grew up in the “sticks’n’stones may break my bones etc etc” era so the concept of ‘passive aggressive’ or god forbid the ultimate transgression off ‘OFFENDING SOMEONE !’ Is just a load of bollox to us lot and our outlook has always been “just grow a set and move on” talk on the internet has no value , if you don’t like what someone says ? Ignore them and move on . End of the day it’s like @Tacklesaid just block the ones you don’t like and if someone’s not happy with the way a thread is going leave it and comeback in a couple of days when the next ‘in-depth heated discussion’ occurs ? ?

I think it's great that your kid painted it for you. Don't ever get rid of it.? Regards

Are you new to the internets? Just folk fronting and maxing, chilling with the toys we've spent all day waxing. It'll all be hugs and reacharounds in the safe zone.

You're telling me I read the situation wrong? How dare you. I have exceptional situational awareness and that never happens

Getting good 1911 grips in the UK seems near impossible to be honest. Even more so for non-government sized models. I've seen some officer sizes for sale on Brownells (example), and I'm also currently working with Navidrex (homepage - US based; supplies grips to Brownells UK) on a set of custom made-to-order wood grips. Its around $20 for a custom set of hand checkered grips so pretty affordable. Shipping costs more than the grips though.. Fingers crossed that UPS doesn't muck up the shipping but otherwise Navidrex was really good with accommodating custom options so check them out. This is a standard Navidrex set sold on Brownells (colour is a bit darker with ~10 coats of tung oil). I'm pretty sure they can make something like this in officer size from scratch.

Yes, that'll work just fine. I'd suggest 60 degree rather than 70 (maybe even 50). When you replace them, could you please have a look at your stock bucking and see if it's flat hopped (no internal mound)? I reckon mine was but I binned it off into the Pile-O-Parts in favour of a Maple Leaf without even checking so I can't be 100% sure. The stock Specna rotary hops are decent enough, being effectively the same as the ZCI plastic units. I honestly can't see the benefit to going to a Maxx hop unless it's a tracer unit.

Just as an FYI these rules may be updated over time, so remember to check back periodically to keep up-to-date with any changes.
