  • Mk23 Vs SSX23 ?? However I already have an STTi which is a pile of a$$ but I have hadron & CJ parts for it.

    Upgrade the STTi, end result will be the same as SSX23

    Why would you pay over €100 for what's essentially a blingy pile of shit?

    I have one and got extremely lucky, mine only had a shit outer barrel that got promptly replaced by Nov's CS with a slightly less shit one (still not aligned, but it's workable now). Again I got lucky with CS, others got told to fuck off.

    Doesn't even come with a suppressor.

    Get a genuine TM or another STTI, since you already have the important upgrades.

    Trust me.

    P.S. the main selling point of the SSX, the SUPADUPA Alu slide, is off spec by a fucking nautical mile.

    It seems that some of the shite performance of my STTi may be that I'm using a Fang rather than a H-plate. am going to try that before I start obsessing over a sticky trigger and crap feeding mags.

    Thanks for the opinions though guys. I just wanted to throw money at it for a complete solution but I think I "know" the answer is to pour more love into the STTi.

    Nobody warned me how bad propane smelled ?

    @Stoker love petrol smell. Propane was like acrid ass.

    Petrol is the greatest smell in the world..... especially when it has fuel additive in it!! Then again I have been sniffing that stuff most of my adult life so it may have had an effect!

    British MTP dyed green pic!

    Had a spare set of MTP and wanted something greener for the summer. £7 of Dylon did this and a shirt.

    I cant see the pic, but I too have a set of MTP that has been dyed green, works very well which isn't something you can usually say about MTP ?

    @Nick G thanks for the heads up. That's fixed now. I have only ever known MTP work well once. Hopefully this green MTP will save me from buying more BDU.

    Who's in work today? I am ?

    I'm stuck covering new years eve/day at work (nights)  Gonna make up for it by rampaging like a loon this sunday!  Pew Pew Pew

    So impressed with the SRS. Sport plus an M150 spring actually gives a very comfortable 2.33J on a brand new spring! No messing.

    ?‍♂️ Accidentally bought a load of digital woodland kit. Started looking at flecktarn and got carried away.

    2hrs on my Mk23 last night. I have a brass screw in each mag and a non sticky trigger to show for it.

    What did you do?

    Haven't had that issue yet on my novyboiiii23, but I haven't actually used it that much.

    The follower is really difficult to hold back so filed down the moulded plastic and then popped a small brass screw in each. Also took a bit more off the feed lips as the trigger was a bit sticky. 

    If I hold the mag whilst shooting it jams a bit now but otherwise it's fine.

    Amazing day of pew-pew at NPF today, haven't enjoyed airsoft like that for a long time!

    I wish I could say the same.

    My ARP kept misfeeding like crazy and on one occasion I snapped and magdumped a new guy who thought it was cool to not call his hits.

    I did get some ridiculous long range kills with the mk23 though.

    Mk23 is the perfect all rounder!

    Non-hit takers just need a couple more rounds than normal, nothing wrong with making sure with half a mag lol

    Skara
    Skara
    He wasn't happy because half a drum mag is still 800 bbs :P

    also yeah, mk23 is love.

    I'm thinking of getting a second one and build a carbine out of it!

    P&P really makes me cry ?. I am so used to free postage or Prime delivery that I find myself not ordering at times due to postage prices on small parts.

    High shipped prices... I'm hardly surprised.  So much fraud has been going on fueled by the rise of eBay that stores are unwilling to use cheaper / untracked services.  

    Steveocee

    @ak2m4 To be fair you're probably one of the exceptions. Your postage prices are fair and advertised upfront. ?

    Skara

    That is exactly why I went for the SSX23 instead of building one myself :(

    Sourcing all the different parts is a bitch when postage alone is more expensive than the part -.-

    Who's good for combats for short people? I need 30" inside leg but all the "good" stuff comes in 32".

    Lost a mag this weekend so of course you have to order 2 as replacements ?

    Solly4568
    well what else are you supposed to do? o I know buy a box mag to make up for it ?
