The boy's L85 has seemingly lost quite a bit of power,  sorting from memory 180fps on 0.28s last weekend.  It is a few years old now,  and spent nearly a year hanging in the wall.   There is a chance the spring was under compression during this time,  but the boy insists it wasn't,  and recent...

Somewhat relieved to discover this afternoon that the sudden and total failure of my ICS L85 was down to the tappet plate snapping.  I called @ak2m4who graciously spoke to me out of hours,  and had an enlightening conversation and Google session.   I ordered the last one that firesupport had in...

Been snowed under with work,  covid, and entertaining the boy for the last few weeks/months.  The good old double Eagle has been holding the fort while the other pews have been misbehaving.  Big Specna needed a rewire, baby Specna was over spinning and not feeding properly.   L85's accuracy...

Hey @Shamal - here's some more crimping work.... https://photos.fife.usercontent.google.com/pw/AP1GczM8ou5XKP6fvVSMwZeb48XLcD6UuGighuqGNZtGuWrNg2tyTQkxSwrdpg=w1737-h977-s-no-gm?authuser=0 https://photos.app.goo.gl/8eDDycPit8rg2jHY6 This was a tight one ...

Didn't we used to be able to sign in using our google accounts?  I accidentally logged out on my phone and can't be bothered going through the recover password stuff (unless I have to of course). Tah muchly.

I know HPA wankers have their super quiet sneaky peaky pews that make that disturbingly quiet little thumping noise when the trigger is pulled. But what about the AEGs I see doing that.....  how is that achieved? Is it shimming? A fancy Schmancy brushless motor? Gears make from Adamantium...

I wonder when these will come to the world of toy pew pews....

Went to Bespoke today as I was working half an hour away and had underlings to do work whilst I looked important.  So I pulled rank and ducked out for a bit with my faulty from new AA G36 GBBR.  If you remember the other thread, it is firing a shot at 500 ish fps, then everything subsequent to...

Somehow, I've manged to  charge a 7.4v lipo, whilst simultaneously discharging  a single cell of an 11.1v battery I didn't realise was connected to the charger at the same time. I didn't think that was possible on a balance charger, but there you go.  Cell 3 is sitting at a little over 4v so...

Am,I right in thinking if you get the polarity wrong on a charger you can blow the circuit board of the device you're trying to charge? Reason being, I have an old FLiR i7 thermal camera that the boy and I were going to use on a game day, so we did a battery test.  Happy to discover that...

Happy New year chaps and chappesses.  Got back from the land of the little people so feeling a bit zoned out. Thought I'd have a look at my beloved Specna as it sounded awful last game day and wasn't feeding.  Was hoping it was the tappet spring again but no: So that's Donald Ducked. The...

Anyone looking forward to the launch tomorrow?   Not a Musk fan, but watching the Starship development over the last few years has been bloody interesting as well as entertaining. 

Has there been a thread on how to choose the best hops/bucking/nubs? I had a quick search, but obviously these key words are rather common on the forum. Or is this such a nebulous topic that it could cause open warfare in the forum?

Well I feel a bit of a dick. Lets leave it at that ?

Couple of questions if you dont mind, as it's my first GBBR... How do you adjust the hop on this....I'm guessing clockwise (as you look down the barrel) increases? Given a reasonably full gas bottle, how long does it take to charge the 30 round mags? Do they do slightly higher capacity...

Any tips?   The boy's Bolt action, and his L85 won't be seeing action for a year,  and eventually the same will the case for my pews. So what's best?  I'm assuming just cycling them a few times every few months is enough,  then opening the gearbox to check grease and orings once a year...

Finally want to get round to fixing this ting which hgas never worked.  From new you could get one or two shots out before the slide stuck before getting home. Now the slide moves fine, btu one shot an the mag dumps 99% of its gas, and the bb just rolls out. Taking it apart, I can see thiings...

Have to see family this weekend and frankly, an excuse to leave early, would be a relief. Going to be just outside Hailsham, heading back towards Hitchin.  if anyone knows of any fields open within reasonable travel time it would be appreciated.

Particularly in semi, where it does it every time now, but increasingly in full auto. When you pull the trigger, in semi, it fires once.   Then it's like a magnetic holding it back against the trigger housing.   Push it forward manually and it will fire again, with the same result. In full...

My mate (see thread about starter pew) is looking for distractions for his two teenagers...  So far, startup costs not withstanding, airsoft seems to me to be the best value day out.... We looked at Cinema, Gokarting, skiing, laser tag.  Anyone else got a better way to entertain older kids for...
