^^^^^^what he said. The old two piece hop is ......okay. But you could do a lot worse than just trying it with a new rubber and nub. Maybe a new barrel. Maybe. Thing is that you will need to either Dremel out the lower receiver to fit the one piece type hop or change the whole receiver to one made for a single piece hop. However that way lies great and untold woes related to incompatible parts and much expense to end up with a gun that works no better than what you started with. So unless you want to learn how it all works by tinkering endlessly, be happy with what you've got or buy a new gun.

It does tend to promote the vicious cycle of out of stock in the UK - buy from HK - UK suppliers don't see demand so they don't bother stocking

It's not just you.

^^^^^This. A thousand times this.

That's nothing. You should see me when I take my SAW out as a secondary....

It's not THAT big. My buddy has one on a sling and uses an M4 as his main. I'm not saying it isn't....challenging but it's certainly do-able.

Of course you can. Man up.

I was just going to suggest Novatech...

Cheap doesn't always mean "good value" though. I'm about to look at buying genuine Surefire pad switches because almost every single element or night evolution one I've had has failed.

According to him at a guess. It's his money.

Ideal number of guns = n+1 where n = number of guns currently owned.

Welcome to airsoft! Glad you enjoyed it. Is your bank account ready? Is it?

Do try to keep up.

TMC, Emerson.... Does it HAVE to be in the UK? Alternatively you could look at the Warrior RPC which is a similar style. Or even the Condor Sentry http://www.military1st.co.uk/201042-008-condor-sentry-lightweight-plate-carrier-multicam.html

It's not broken, it's an "undocumented feature"of the v2 gearbox design.

I can honestly say I've never blown a 'fet. I have fitted several (mostly Gate ones - Nano in my M4, Pico in my AK - and a BTC in my SCAR, plus others in friends guns). Maybe because I used to do this kind of stuff for a living? Peoples complete inability to solder doesn't seem to put them off having a go.

Try Apextac on ebay. Night Evolution or FMA both do replacement switches. http://stores.ebay.co.uk/APEXTAC/Switch-/_i.html?_fsub=660729719&_sid=595532459&_trksid=p4634.c0.m322

Best not go to gunfire.pl then...

ebay is probably your friend here - look for closed cell foam sleeve, or neoprene sleeve.

Try this: http://www.componentforce.co.uk/product/206/FG41/order or ebay.

Anything and everything. I've pretty much stopped painting at the minute but I've done loads of different stuff over the years!

Blimey....you're selling yourself short there mate. Do you just do guns or have you looked at the rest of the custom paint market?

Came with the card... Good to know I've made a good choice though

Yay! Got myself a new GPU! So it's out with the old.....
