Rush pic as I head out the door for work... first impressions are that it's absolutely gorgeous and feels incredible!

Looks lovely just dont put that stock on it

Playing with it tomorrow I presume?  Remember what I said about magazine feedlips.  Oh and tighten the recoil rod where it joins the bolt. 

Unfortunately I'm working tomorrow, so no playtime for me! 

The stock will go on when I get around to buying the rest of the kit to ruin it! 

When I get in I'm going to load the magazines until my fingers bleed or the feed lips wear a little, whatever comes first... 

Did they send you a speed loader tip?

I glued mine onto my Speedloader.  Its easier if you insert a bb by hand first rhen use the Speedloader. Angle it up  about 30 degrees 

They included a load of the tips! I've already broken the included speed loader though, bent the button and it snapped off whilst trying to load a mag, lips are tighter than a nun's quim!

Yep, they do loosen up though.  You can see why people file them but trust me - don't

Yeah, had a few stoppages getting though the first mag, but I know that's down to the feed lips. I'll break it in, with as little modification as possible. I've done the nozzle "wings" already and swapped the selector out.

Don't get me started on bloody PF, been waiting for my peltors to come from poland for over a week. spent the last 4 days saying they've left Poland however haven't reached the UK. I phoned PF and they said they should be delivered Monday; if they're not I shall be back on the phone.

What BBs are you using?  They dont like shit BBs.  I run nothing but GGs in mine and seldom get a stoppage.  Make sure the wings are filed all the way down level or the nozzle will be at an angle and cause stoppages.

Whats yer first impressions of how it shoots?

GG .28s. It seems to be that the BBs don't want to leave the feed lips.

Pretty good, I've got a "summer" spring, and the FG recoil rod. Be interesting to see how that impacts efficiency, but for the life of me I can't get the roll pin out of the guide rod to install the spring!

In general I have pretty good experiences with Parcel Force,  their international problems seem to stem from the fact they have no dedicated import agents?? or maybe they do, there's just too much volume???  So everything over a certain value / size / suspicion gets held up in customs for a week+++.  Then to add insult, when the package arrives at the depot PF sends a LETTER.....A f**king LETTER like it's 1984 with a code on so you can pay the import charges.  This can delay the whole shipment by another 2/3 days.  You can phone the depot though on the day it arrives there and pay over the phone but this requires time and effort...phew! exhausting 

The whole thing is like it's the 80s. Saw someone complain on Twitter that no attempt to deliver had been made "Our staff don't have work phones to call customers." 

What the hell!? You're a delivery company, delivering items to people, how can you not be able to contact your customers ?
