  1. Texture on the receiver sides, can't remember which one has them though
  2. Forgot to update this thread. In the end I went for a ZCI 22tpa motor, quite slow but the semi cycle time on a 11.1 is good. The gearbox shell, though is utter shit, or the motor is, or the grip, I can't figure it out -.- I can't properly shim it, I did the good ol' spur first but the bevel wants to sit really high. Tried bevel to pinion, the bevel now has zero shims on top yet it appears to be too tight, moreover the ZCI motor is really pushing against the bevel even with the grip adjustment screw completely removed. I thought it was the gearbox shell being a bit shit, so I bought an 8mm one but the bearings I got (SHS) must've been a friday night job and they don't spin -.- stayed up until 2 AM last night to try and figure out what was going on and I'm really pissed. I'll see if I can pick up a set of decent bushings later today and try again -.-
  3. So, I got a new gearbox shell for my pdw but it's an utter cunt to shim (Also I think I got a bad set of SHS bearings but they'll have to do since I don't have any spares).

    I'm gonna try the bevel to pinion method, spur first worked with every single AEG I've worked on apart from this little piece of shit.

     

    Fuck me :(

  4. Can't find decent m4 mag pouches :(

      Aye, which is made more confusing by the 'Fits one M4/M16 magazine, alternatively one M14 or G36 mag, or any magazine in similar size. ' in the description haha.

      I've just been using cheapo condor open top (the ones with the bungee cord retention) on my belt setup. Outdoor in pissing it down rain, brambles, mud, all sorts and have been working fine for me the past few years. That's including me swapping them out with a budget taiwangun pistol mag pouch for my VSR mags pretty much every game. Not really something that would fit the 'look' though I imagine ?

      Thanks for the suggestions :D

       

      I have been using those condor cheapo ones for ages and they performed relatively well, but I am slowly replacing all the clone pouches with the real deal (getting rid of those too).

       

      KYWIs are impossible to find.

       

      In the meantime, I have found Helikon competition pouches and Templars TACO clones, both reasonably priced. I have abandoned the quest for closed top pouches because it's either TMC or Crye with not much choice in between -.-

  5. My ultra heretic 5.56 AK flash mags arrived. I'm seriously impressed with the quality, they're Cymas and feel really sturdy. Sure as hell better than the 5.45 flash mag I already have. In the meantime, I ordered 2 SHS QD bearing spring guides for my Specnas, a new 8mm QC gearbox for my KA PDW and another bag of 0.28s.
  6. More and more technical issues, I am definitely cursed. So the King Arms PDW does not like ZCI hop units, couldn't feed a single round. The specna 933 acted funny all day, sounded shit in full auto (as if it was going to jam) so I stuck to semi. Nonetheless I had fun today, the lack of confidence among team members is showing (we have mostly new/inexperienced people now) and we need to sort that out asap. Next Sunday, PDW time (AK if I feel like it and the new high caps actually feed). Meanwhile I need to stock 60° hop rubbers as 50s appear to be too soft for my 933.
  7. Gud. I'm considering moving from the warfet to either a titan or a Perun on my ak, just to eliminate the semi lockup and have more battery space available for spicy 11.1s
  8. Just committed a war crime, bought a set of 5.56 ak magazines for my 74u. Along with some gas cans (duster, green, red) and a bunch of bags of BLS 0.28s.
  9. insane ROF but you lose the last round hold open.
  10. It's cheap, it's lightweight, works well, has good iron sights, takes cheap glock magazines, there's a whole host of cosmetic and performance upgrades available. What more can you ask? I say AA got it extremely right from the start. But now they need to hurry the fuck up and release the goddamn M-Lok handguard.
  11. You need some short stroke buffers methinks
  12. Yo we need a badge for all the active users who end up in Macks
  13. I love how there is absolutely zero trace of mp5 high caps and ak74 flash mags in italy -.-

      Seems to be a huge shortage of MP5 midcaps in general from what I see. If I could source a box of straight one's it'd incredibly influence my "next" purchase but just can't find them anywhere.

      cyma ak mags aren't the nicest externally, but goddamn do the midcaps just feed

       

      recently swapped the springs out of a bunch of cyma mids into me e&l 7.62 mags so now i have shiny mags that also work :P

      Even though I’m a mid cap man through and through I still enjoy the guilty pleasure of going out on a game or two with just me gatt and a couple of hi-caps , no rig no pistol nothing else just the gun and a mag or two stuck in my pockets every now and again ! ??

  14. Okay the AW extendo is shit. It went through a whopping 10 bbs before running out of gas. Meanwhile them WE mags ran flawlessly even in sub zero temperatures. Pumping out all 23+ rounds without any sign of cooldown.
  15. Because it never gets below 0 here and usually it creeps up to 9/10 on a sunny day in this period, so black gas isn't really needed. Also yeah, need to pack a fleece because it's gonna be brutal, that part of the field is also wet af all year round
  16. Same, I didn't buy them at once, but one/two every order so now I have a nice stock of parts. Anyway, tomorrow I'll be taking the SMG with me and it's gonna be a cold temperature test, forecast says -8° at 8 am on the field, rising to -2° by noon. I honestly expect malfunctions and poor efficiency on the extendo but good performance on the WE mags, I'll be running nimrod green gas (nuprol 2.0), place your bet.
  17. It's a slippery slope tho. It made me buy about 12 maple leaf rubbers last year now the silicone ones have hit the market, I suspect I'll get another 12 soon -.-
  18. Let's be honest for a second. I don't get WE, they had the chance to make a cool GBB like a Tec-9 lookalike (so AAP style upper, correct magazine placement and most importantly, glock magazines instead of some proprietary shit)... They instead decided to clone the AAP but make it more complicated to use (hop adjustment, for example) at a price point that can't compete with the AAP (because it's a €85/90 pistol, I reckon the WE is gonna be at least 120/130)... why....
  19. I-Key, H-Plate, however you want to call them, they all do the same thing I used I-Keys because I had some in my box o' hops, if I had Hadron parts I would have used those instead By the way, WE has now released a, not surprisingly, really bad clone of the AAP, same upper but with a glock lower, while overcomplicating the overall design..
  20. Stock it struggled to lift 0.3s for me, ended up using decepticons (50 and 60, one in each) + I-Keys. Inexpensive but highly effective upgrades
  21. "Hey is the XXXX still available?"

    "Hey, yes it is, need further information/pictures?"

    Then they disappear...

     

    What the fuck, why do you even bother asking in the first place? Fucking window licking inbreds.

      in fairness the whole "completed" thing confused the hell out of me for a while when i joined. most of the places i'm used to topics tend to be edited by their owners to say "sold" etc.

      Yup, it confuses me as well, and I never look at the classifieds anyway :D

       

      anyway, 24h have passed, no response :D

      In theory sports can't be practiced unless they are of national relevance, we (federation) just engineered a workaround :)

      Airsoft per se isn't a sport, Practical Shooting with an airsoft gun is and has national relevance for some shady reason.

      So we had to register our competitions under practical shooting, since it's of national relevance we are allowed to train and travel unless we are in a tier 3 region. As of now Italy is just tier 1 and 2.

      In theory we have a tier 0 zone where most of the stuff is open and only a mask is required but no region has gone tier 0 yet (and it's unlikely to happen since the parameters to get in there are pretty much pre covid)..

      Either way I'll bring the wanker M4s to try out :) kinda want to snipe but the part of the filed we are playing in sucks for sniping as anything longer than a 10" M4 gets tangled everywhere.

      Just to make you more jealous, we had a blast today!

      Played in the new area that we cleared before Christmas, gun behaved extremely well apart from a really bad scratch in my zci tightbore (throws off some shots), ended up being soaking wet but with a huge smile on my face ;)

       

      Next Sunday, sniper time.

  23. Any decent surplus store?

    (Preferably in Europe but UK is fine too)

      Buy abroad be prepared.... ?

      It's about this thread, I need a small 5/10l backpack that holds a 3L bladder and is cheap enough to not feel bad when spraying and gluing/tying all sorts of crap onto

  24. TFW a guy PMs you for a handguard, sends you his address but "forgets" to ask for paypal email :D
