    Try sitting it upside down and put a good squirt/drip of silicone in the hole just In case the O-ring has dried out a bit and needs a ‘drink’ .

    Getting better with my evo only fumbled my safety on by accident once. Lost a kill from it but a lot better than last time. 

    Getting sick of my iron sights I can use them but I feel they cause  eye fatigue if I keep on them for too long.

    Your replacement safety is on it's way. I got held up (forgot to post).

    Cheers pal, Since it's an annoyance that can be changed it's deffo worth swapping.

    Looking at what to buy on payday and a torch is high on my list. Been looking at a m300. Are there any airsoft lights that have a reinforced lens to prevent shoot outs? I don't mind running a protector on it but feels like there should be a product to fill this gap. link below for one I am currently looking at.

    If I can get over the honking front end I might be in to it. You going on the 28th? Seeing it next to my evo might convince me it's fine.

    Nope, I've been given a tongue lashing by the missus, and not in the good way.  My next permission slip is for May 12th.

    The other torch that I run is this 'un:

    https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/152743158670

    UK sellers are available.  I link to that package for an example, as it contains batteries, a charger and the remote switch.

    It's intended as a pistol torch (and works well on a G17) but is also nice and compact on an AEG.  It's surprisingly bright as it runs at 7.4V - I judge my torches on the number of "Fook's sake, mate!" protests, and that produces plenty of them. ;)

    I'm looking at S8 for the 12th so could be June till I'm back at Depot also that's old firm day so finding people who aren't busy to play with is getting tough bloody football!

    I prefer the form factor for sure of that small one but the laser puts me off. Guess I just need to realise I already knew what I wanted and was checking if there was anything similar or better for the money or less.

    Your red dot is that the ncstar one? https://www.zerooneairsoft.com/product_info.php?cPath=275_553&products_id=2497

    The look is growing on me and might match the strange look of the evo.

    Wow just noticed I put my iron sights both front and rear on backwards.

    think there is a new season of one punch man thanks for reminding me. 

    Put about 100 bbs through it. Had the misses shoot me with it. Everythings looking good.

    Should I load my mid caps up to break the springs in?

    UPS kindly updated me at 6:17 to let me know it won't be delivered today but tomorrow. Could be Saturday before I can collect it. Stupid UPS website is useless I tried to set up a redirect on my address to a collection location but f knows why it won't let me redirect the package to that loacation hopefully the redirect picks it up.

    Their local pick up points are usually corner shops and the like, with a bit of space behind the counter.  I've had two of the local ones knock back RIF sized deliveries now - I fired in complains to UPS, but there doesn't seem to be any consequences for them doing this.

    I foresee a CYMA CM.123 in your future... ;)

    First time I had it delivered was to a pickup point but the evos package is actually tiny.  But they sent it out to my actual address this time and UPS won't change it

    "A signature is required for parcel delivery your parcel cannot be delivered to the requested location."

    Not sure if I will be able to pick it up Saturday never had a missed UPS before.

    It does feel like we Airsofters are singled out for shit delivery services the only one thats been 100% for me is DHL.its like they know how much we want to get our PEW on and go out of their way to deny us our right to cause pain on others....Outrageous!!! ? ?

    Upgraded gears installed they are shipping back to me. Could be here by tomorrow Friday at latest.

    you should be CYMA's marketing department. Be kind enough to install the barrel backwards so it at least kills me before the enemy do heh. 

    I'l put a few hundred bbs through it when I get it to see how it goes I'm hoping my bad luck turns around.

    I'm sure it will be fine

    Retailer will give me the upgraded gears for the cost of the parts no labour to pay so £44.99 for an Ultimate gear set. Considering the shipping and labour costs are the killer I can't see why not.

    They would of for free replaced the gears with original gears but I am buying upgraded gears at RRP and they are fitting them instead. Keeps my warranty intact. If I installed them would of void my warranty. 

    Takes the total cost of my EVO up to £369.98 which if I could of ordered with the the better gears for this price in the first place I would have. 

    Rogerborg
    Rogerborg
    Ouch.  But it seems a case of needing it sooner or later, and this is the best way to do it.

    Reckon you'll have it back by Sunday?  If not, I should have some poverty-spec AEG spare [Goes to wire a Deans connector onto Poverty Spec AEG]

    Better to get it done for the cost of the parts and keep my warranty but not be worried about the gears going again. It was a bug bear I knew about before buying it so if anything I was lucky I didn't have it happen in a game and that I can get the upgrade without shipping/labor costs as I knew it would need it eventually I was just hoping I would be one of the lucky ones that lasted a year. 

    I imagine they will fit the parts tomorrow and ship it so it should arrive for Friday as it was quick delivery first time. They said they will do it ASAP and call me when it's ready to ship. I will give them till lunch time tomorrow to contact me again as the have agreed to pack it better for shipping it this time as that box it came in was holding on for dear life.

    Might  give me the confidence to not bother with a second AEG as a backup. 

    Evo was delivered to retailer this morning. Time to see if their support is as good as their sales.

    I don't think being arsey about it and bugging them will get me any decent good will on a discount I certainly wouldn't go out my way to help someone who doesn't wait their turn. Kicking up a stink less than 24 hours after they had it delivered seems silly.

    Who said you need to be arsey? Simply acquiring whether they received it and asking for a timeline on fix/inspection to me, as a paying customer is more than exceptable. 

    Rogerborg
    Rogerborg
    Are you a happy customer?

    Shipped my evo back to the retailer. Doubt they work weeknds probably hear somthing on Monday. ?

    Fml thought it would be a good day but my evo is goosed fires once after connecting battery then 2 beeps and a red light in mag well.

    Tempting but I can't in good conscious buy accessories before I get a second gun and my 3 bottles of .20g blaster bbs won't get used then.

    Going to get a few bits and bobs for my bday in May but otherwise I'm saving up for AEG #2 Was tempted to get GBBP but with the new TM hicapa around the corner I will wait for it. 

    Rogerborg
    Rogerborg
    Would a 2nd AEG get used if you're rocking an Evo?  I keep buying AEGs, but they're all cheapos and about as good as each other, i.e. basically usable but with slow trigger response.

    Evo + GBB pistol is probably ideal for the Depot.  It's what Ryan Silver Fox uses.

    I'm paranoid it will stop working and I'l be left with just a pistol in an outdoor game crying like a pleb. 

    Plus I'm holding out for http://impulse101.jp/en/gbb/tokyo-marui-hi-capa-dor-direct-optics-ready-gbb-4319 so I could be waiting a while to get that with just a single base TRMR to fall back on.  

    Might be an idea for me to get my ass to section 8 to see if I even like outdoor games before buying a second AEG.

    Don't be discouraged if you give sound advice to people in a thread and they ignore it and do what they wanted to do before they opened the thread looking for validation. 

    I read a lot on here before asking questions and learned so much from responses to people questions.

    yeah, pretty accurate. i guess some people are just wanting to be reassured that they haven't made a mistake although some folk seem to get mighty defensive if they get told otherwise.

    thing is advice on here is just that- advice, the only thing you get for giving it is a reservation of the right to say "i tole you so!"

    Just remember , ‘advice’ is just another name for an opinion hopefully based on personal experience .

    And many on here know my feelings on opinions,

    “Opinions are like arseholes , everybody has one and nine times out of ten both are full of shit !” ?
