    The 'How Did Your Airsoft Day Go? Thread

    By the time everyone is kitted out as whatever their version of a super-cereal secret-squirrel-weekend warrior is you can barely distinguish people by the camo they're wearing and the gat they're wielding. Whatever someone otherwise presents as the only thing that should matter is if they play...

    Macks airsoft dreamers of the week thread

    Yeah, shoulda prefaced my statement with that. Selling a gat that you've never used because its a wall hanger or you have other reasons is fine

    Macks airsoft dreamers of the week thread

    Am i the only one who thinks that only shooting a gat a few times before getting rid of it implies it's shit and thats why you want to get rid of it? Kinda like how a secondhand car that's 3 years old with 5 owners, whats so bad about it that nobody wants to keep it longer than a year?

    No bb firing when front receiver pin is in

    a test is to assemble the upper+lower without the inner barrel/hop assembly see if it's still tight, will tell you if the hob is being jammed in there or if the gun is just a bit tight.

    No bb firing when front receiver pin is in

    Pushing the hop unit up tight to the gearbox, which to a certain extend is exactly what you want. Indeed using o rings round the outer barrel rather than a spring the purpose is to acheive exactly that and even to the point where the pin needs a little tapping to get it in/out. Does double duty...

    Mechabox V2.5

    the nozzle length is just a case of getting a longer nozzle, there will be a correct size for your particular gat. you don't need to seal the gearbox to the hop unit, the key seals are: piston o-ring to piston rear face piston o ring to cylinder cylinder to cylinder head cylinder head to...

    Frankly even a bricks and mortar store to call home does not, imo, a good tech make.

    No bb firing when front receiver pin is in

    if the nozzle is too long the issue is that when it retracts it isn't far enough back for enough time for a bb to be brought up to the firing line. you holding it back against the pin? does it feel like when you're pushing the pin into place that the reciever is moving even further back?

    No bb firing when front receiver pin is in

    Does sound like nozzle length, assuming it's aftermarket then you want to check it against oem. Certain hop rubbers (particularly maple leaf) in *some* guns the feedlips can protrude back into the hop chamber and acheive a similar effect. My go to for such cases was the pdi w-hop with standard...

    Air ratio question for a DMR

    I suspect if e locking isn't good enough then every solenoid based hpa dmr is naughty as they can be changed to fa via fcu settings. I remember one of my battle buddies contemplating doing the inverse to run my hpa'd mg42 in cqb, purely for the hilarity of running the literal worst cqb gun...

    AK advice

    I did find cymas quite tight initially, but they wore in with use.

    Double Bell Mosin Nagant 1891/30 PU SCope Bolt-Action Rifle Replica - Real Wood

    shell ejection puts this more into the "pretty prop for re-enactors" rather than a skirmishable gun. shame as if i were to get back into the hobby i can see my comeback going for a lightweight mosin-and-a-prayer style.

    AK advice

    The mag bodies are nice, at least the steelies are. Its just the springs and followers are crap and its not that hard to swap the guts with cyma springs/followers to get pretty and reliable mags.

    Piggyback vs offset

    Piggyback, i found i ended up using the dot pretty much as default with the scope relegated to honesty checking. Airsoft doesnt have the range to go beyond what a dot or even irons can be effectively used. Going canted locks you into the dot only being usable at ranges where vague barrel...

    AK advice

    Just dropping in to shill for e&l. Their bluing is nicer than lct's imo and i'm not sure there's that much difference in the wood quality. I wasnt a fan of some of the design choices in the lct i had like being unable to pull the gearbox without first pulling the outer barrel, e&l you can slide...

    As a new player, since December, how do I deal with cheaters?

    it's a tricky one. whilst that statement in and of itself isn't strictly toxic, there's a poisonous yet alluring draw to go further. it's the first step on a road of escalation that leads you to open every engagement with overkill regardless of wether or not the target needed that much...

    V3 Gearbox help

    you have my sympathies, sadly there's no real advice on how to do it you just sorta get a feel for it. some boxes are well enough behaved that once you get the trigger seated properly it'll stay put, others less so. i had a jg box that i ended up tapping a tiny bolt into the trigger to keep it...

    V3 Gearbox help

    you are correct that silver spring is the trigger spring, unfortunately the v3 trigger spring can be one of the most hateful things to try and install. the other component is the anti reversal latch, it goes into this hole: it drags against the bevel gear to stop the gearbox going the wrong...
