    Spent the last 45 minutes looking for my tan P-mags. Before realising I probably don't own tan P-Mags.

    Instructions unclear, you're saying that you need to buy some tan P-mags?

    They don't really come up for sale here much, I guess if someone invests they tend to keep it, plus very few will pay that NIB price from a shop in the first place for said item to even make it to the 2nd hand market.  European store prices are inflated, but as long as you make sure it's real then it's worth considering.

    Anyone know where to get First Spear Tubes in the UK - Need male only

    Might be best to drop @TheFull9 a line. I don't think they're officially available outside of the US.

    Pinion gear for the TM MK46 box mag - well known shop £5 each, plus £3 postage.

    Or go on amazon and get generic chinese made ones, 20 for £5 and next day delivery.

    I know shops have overheads, but a 20x mark up?

    Found 5 boxes of those thunder snaps in a bag as part of a trade deal i made 2 years ago. Yeah, not surprised they were banned...

    Am I going senile, but do crye pants have a waterproof gator bit around the ankles?
    I think i remember my G2/AC pants having a waterproof ankle bit and a bungee thing to tighten, but after a year out, I can't remember if it was my good ones or cheap ones that did

    Gen 1s had cordura around the ankles, which is waterproof generally.  Other than that one instance, nope, not at all.

    I must be imagining it then. I just remember last year putting on some pants, and noticing that a draw-sting was missing inside one ankle, and not the other. 

    edit: it was indeed my cheaper ones. Which is odd as you would expect the super army soldier version to have it

    Just to add to the pot of bubbling confusion I have a pair of OPS trousers from many moons ago and they have waterproof gators inside the ankles .

    Don’t suppose anyone knows of a good place in Manhattan to poke around for surplus gear?

    Must've got the most Friday of all Friday afternoon guns.

    Pistonhead screw threaded/stuck, couldn't get it off. Upon inspection, someone had put the base part on upside down, so the screwdriver slot was on the inside.

    is Fubar Bundy still trading? Placed an order 2 weeks ago and silence since then -no reply to emails either

    Did anyone answer the phone?  Some places are pretty swamped at the moment, of course that's no excuse.

    Usual advice, just fire in with a chargeback through your payment processor.  "Item not received, retailer unreachable."  No elaboration.  The sooner you do it, the sooner you'll get it resolved, and if it does turn up (and only if it or a refund turns up) you can always close the case.

    I visited in store last friday (20th August) and they are open and operating, their website is just out of date. Give them a call!

    Now there's something you don't see every day.  Any idea what happened there? I can't imagine how you'd get that without something else locking up first.

    No clue, rest of the gears, gearbox piston all seem fine - no metal dust or anything at all in it

    Although I just found a bearing/bushing has failed on a different gear, so last minute panic shopping to find some in stock

    G&P M249 locking up. It’s full auto only so thinking it’s battery related.

    Jefftron V2 with active break and a decent shim job?

    Well you completely killed my idea of what the problem could be ! ?‍♂️
    Over the years I’ve seen plenty of guns locking up due to the connector and batt being the cause , as in low powered Batt and Neolithic tamiya connectors , say’lla’vie! 
    hope you solve it bud ?

    Could it be a wiring/battery issue?

    Does it lock up when you use a different battery?

    Keen to know as I used to have a M249 in the past. 

    R
    rj1986
    Need to unlock it to test, but will service it, clean it and put in a jefftron whilst it’s open.

    watch this space for questions on where to buy tiny springs in the next few days

    Fancy a long range pewpew.

    I have an option on a fully EdGI HTI (which means i will need to sell on an TM 416 to free up some money) or wait out for the Tac41 and then maybe upgrade later.... tough choice

    HTI is pointless, just an SRS that's too big

    Tac41 hands down.

    From what I've seen it doesn't need much in terms of upgrades.

    I jumped on the tac41 hype train in the end. Now to go into the random boxes of stuff I have to find a scope

    Anybody using a crye CPC - do you use those little support tab things on the inner cummerbund?

    R
    Can tell it's been a while since I've used my gear - just spent 30 minutes trying to remember how to use a lipo charger
