As probably anyone with a TAC 41 will have experienced the magazine of the TAC 41 likes to spill its content too easily, the slightest touch on the release tab and all the bbs are on the ground or in the pouch. As the mag is behaving like a life granate I thought I treat it like one and add a...

If you start with Airsoft I would recommend to start with a normal AEG. Probably best to hire one the first few games and see if you really like it. You see too many ‘for sale’ posts here where people bought rifs straight away and then decided airsoft wasn’t for them. If you are over 18 you want...

I can only drool when I see the quality of these prints. Somehow my Ender3 can’t quite match that ? 

Good to hear that the kinky tubes don't really cause a problem. In that case they might actually be a 'positive' over the more rigid tubes from ExFog. I saw the trick with the spring on a YouTube video (https://youtu.be/0oXgzxNgdJE?si=OvnlCnOwSRhGrDK1) Nice idea but will only try it if...

My son has been using ExFog for over a year now and is very happy apart from that, he hasn’t found a good solution for mounting the tubes to his googles yet (but then he isn’t trying very hard either). I’ve recently received the Novrtisch Antifog Unit 2nd Gen and can now actually compare the...

Unfortunately I can’t say the say the same for myself. Once I’ve put on all my gear I weigh a lot more ?

For me that’s how a G3 should look like, not all that other fancy modern stuff ? The G3 was my service rifle back in the Cold War and it looked just like that one. Now if the recoil could give you bruises then you are on to a proper replica!  You should get a long leather sling to go with...

Shame, it is not far from me but I just checked the calendar and we have our seasonal festivity at the golf club aka getting shit faced so will have to give the 7th a miss.  But I will look out for announcements of further meet-ups.

I had to google that stock ?  I was thinking of using a spring and a bolt to lock it in place but I am trying not to over-engineer it if possible. I will try with a 'latch' that snaps into place but that you can easily unhook (but still fixed enough not to get unlatched. 

This is still work in progress but I’ve designed a print in place foldable stock adaptor for my TAC41 LS. I still have to improve the lock in place as it is currently too easy to fold the stock accidentally. Any suggestion for a good locking mechanism? Currently it is done with small protrusion...

It wasn’t about the suppressor but printing an inner barrel extension inside the suppressor when you can’t achieve an air seal between the inner barrel and the extension.

Given the calculator @Pseudotectonic linked to I’ve established that the ratio for my TAC41 LS is 4.32 with the 330mm barrel (the volume of the cylinder is quoted as 41cc). That sounds way too high. Even with a 440mm barrel it is still a ratio of 3.25. I have yet to play with the TAC41 or shoot...

Thanks for the link @Pseudotectonic very helpful! I understand that a stronger spring would compress the air quicker and thus provide more acceleration. I was just wondering whether the spring comes into the equation for determining the optimal barrel length but it seems not.

Is there somewhere a formula in matching your inner barrel to your piston and spring? I understand that the volume of the cylinder (the active part - how do you actually figure that out? I guess you could measure how far you pull back the bold handle) should be higher than the volume of the...

I managed to fit them both in with optics by removing the stock of the TAC41 which is easy to do. Saved myself a few quid there ?
