I think you are talking about the moulding of the hop arm. I have had an issue before where there was a fault in the moulding of the hop arm resulting in the indent/cup that holds the nub in place being stepped half way across. This led to the symptoms that you indicate, and was nothing to do...

I've been in similarly frustrating games, where everyone is bogged down and getting fed up. I usually speak to a marshall about this in game pretty quickly - calmly and objectively pointing things out, and that people are getting a bit fed up. It's often (but not always) enough to galvanised...

Maybe try driver wood, Crawley, or even better, battle lakes, frant.

I had a old tm mp5sd in the 90s. Definitely no hop up in that springer, but great memories of battles in the woods with my mates, and perforating the light shades at home! Welcome along!

There's a chap that plays driver wood in a electric wheel chair too. Echoing all the above. I might possibly add that selecting a site that has quite dense cover, or areas of it might be helpful. Open sites with sparse cover tend to favour a more speedy style of play.

From memory, i ended up using an old barrel from a JG G36C, together with a Chinese clone of a MR Hop rubber and omega nub. The positioning of the cut/window in the barrel (probably the forwards/backwards location) seems to be crucial for good operation of the bullgear hop unit. Bullgear...

Good luck, mines been a nightmare. So much promise though. From the off: add an extra two screws between the grip and gearbox, swap to a bullgear hop unit - and be prepared to play around with rubbers and inner barrel combos; and run the box mag off a rechargeable 9v lithium battery.

I have achieved some of more memorable game play with a pistol. I have been known to use a Kar98 or Lee Enfield with no MED, but - given the limitations of a bolt action when things get frantic, I carry a pistol too. Quite frequently the rifle will be left propped up against a tree and a lone...

I had no idea that you starred in Lock Stock and Two Smoking Barrels. Kept that one a bit quiet didn’t you!

Taking this Saturday as an example, the 06:11 train from Shepperton, via Clapham Junction will get you into Three Bridges station by 07:44. From there, its a 5 minute or so taxi journey to Driver Wood, so you will have plenty of time to get through the Chrono before the game brief starts at...

I just give my mates hicaps and a bag of BBs when they are trying airsoft out for the first time. By far the simplest solution, and whilst lower in capacity, I've not had any dramas with MP5 hicaps.

Damn, I’m away camping that weekend, otherwise I'd be there. I'm trying to get along to Battle Lakes every month when I can, although realistically the September dates are when I'm next looking likely I can make it over there.

A good morning yesterday at Driver Wood. Huge numbers of players (I suspect most people had to same idea as me to wait it out to the first cooler day since the heat wave), but strangely the high numbers didn't seem to affect game play negatively this time around- at least I didn’t find that to...

Sounds a little like the Novritsch SSQ4 HPA system. Uses some form of HPA adapter (male) that sits hidden within the magwell, and the proprietary (female) mid caps fit between the inner magwell and the adapter. I've no idea whether its interchangeable with other GBBRs, i somewhat doubt it, but...

Wouldn't other aftermarket hop units fit the LEVAR? I think its a standard m4 fitment isn't it? If so, the rather cheap but generally good Specna Magnus TDC hop unit should fit ok without needing any cutting....
