Can't seem to edit, but here is my old (and long sold) Escort MP5
It had a Daytonagun bolt
Here is my Asahi M60, fitted with a LRB, this gun has awesome range
Asahi M60e3
-
Daytonagun M249

This is a M4 CQB that I put together. It's had a little work done on it, both externally and internally. Haven't really used it yet
-
Padding is pretty good, much better than those cheap ACM masks, and about on par with the Cactus Hobbies masks.
You can wear it most of the day without much dis-comfort.

Just finished the externals on my latest M4 so I thought I'd share

Small update as I’ve now skirmished with this mask.
Overall it was very good, it did it’s job very well. It was safe and the vision from the mask was great. I did find it slightly tighter on the face than my Cactus hobbies masks, but that might just be this one. Also I found that the back strap wasn’t as conformable as the Cactus Hobbies version, the Rlux is very stiff at the back of the head and it took me some messing about to get it in a comfortable place before I could skirmish.
I still think that the overall quality is slightly lower than the Cactus hobbies masks, and if Rlux and Cactus Hobbies made the same mask I would go for the Cactus hobbies version. That being said I would not hesitate to buy another Rlux mask, they are still very good, and they should last you a long time.

I haven’t seen any other reviews of these masks so since I’ve just bought one I thought I’d share my thoughts.
First off a little about my thoughts on masks. I have been playing airsoft for quite a while, and ever since I started playing I have always wore a full face mask, I have seen too many teeth shot out for me to risk anything. I started with a basic face mask, these were OK but a little boring, and needed to be replaced ever year or two. A few years ago, when I was looking for a replacement, I discovered the Cactus Hobbies Army of Two mask. I ordered one of these masks, and they have been my airsoft skirmish masks ever since. I currently have 2 Cactus Hobbies masks, they both get used regularly. This review will be a comparison of the two different makes of mask, and at the time of writing I haven’t used the Rlux mask in a skirmish (should be this weekend), but will update this review once I have.
I bought the T800 mask because I thought it looks cool. I’m not planning on using it as my main airsoft mask, but it will be used every so often. Once it arrived it’s obvious to see that a lot of work has gone into these masks. The mask itself felt very thick, it’ll certainly stand up to airsoft power level, next up the mesh for the eye holes are nice and thick too, I have no worries about them failing. The next thing I always check is that the wire mesh in the eye holes are secure, and this mask has no problems in that area. The mould of the mask is good, but not great, there are a few slightly rough areas around the nose and a few other places, it’s not quite as good as the Cactus Hobbies masks, but still high quality. The painting is very good, it really makes the mask stand out, easily on par with the Cactus Hobbies version.
The eye holes in the T800 mask are quite deep, I was worried that my vision might be restricted but once the mask is on it becomes clear that there are no problems here and your vision is very good. The eye sockets are quite deep into the mask, so wearing glasses with this mask will be a problem. With the mask on the padding inside is great, it’s a very comfortable mask to wear, the five point harness makes getting the mask right for you is not a problem. The next thing that I noticed was how big this mask is, it protrudes quite a way from your face, certainly larger than the Army of Two masks I have been wearing, but that’s not really a plus or minus, just something I noted. One plus of this type of mask is breathing, it’s very easy, on the cheap facemasks I noticed that because the mask was close to my mouth it got quite uncomfortable to breath after a while, it became hot and condensation always started to form on the inside of the mask, both the Rlux mask and the Cactus Hobbies masks leave you more room around the mouth to stop this.
That is my initial impressions of the mask, well made, big but comfortable. Overall I would put the Cactus Hobbies masks slightly above this mask, but they are so close I wouldn't hesitate to buy another Rlux mask. I haven’t got a Heroshark mask but I’ve only ever heard good things about them, and as I seem to be collecting masks, I will get one sooner or later.
I will update this thread once I’ve used it in a skirmish.

Quick question, I've just traded for a WE Scar, and it works fine, but there is one small problem. When I manually pull the bold handle back it's very stiff, like something is binding. It works fine when it shoots, it's just when you pull the handle manually.
Can anyone please help?

Here is my latest AR15 build, not even close to being finished yet, but this is so far....
-
A few more

Here are a few pictures, still very much getting use to it. I keep messing up with the range finder, I keep cutting off the picture, at least I know for next time.
-
Very nice pictures on here, very much like ChrisWPA's.
I'm not a very good photographer, but I do like playing about. I took some pictures at a local classic car event, I'll dig them out when I get home.
I'm starting to use my dad's Lieca M8 with a 28mm lense, still very new to it, and I'm at the bottom of the learning curve.

Thansk for the update,
I've been thinking about buying one for a while, but still not sure. Might wait a bit longer, to see what other issues come up. Is it any more work that getting a GBB M4 working right?
-
The Car15 and the Gas M16 are both Sun Projects, the other M16 in the last photo is G&P.
I do have a Jac M16VN, with a LRB installed, with quite a few mags for it.
Don't use it as much as I should, really need to dust this one off and start using it again.
-
My Car15, used it for the first time in ages on Sunday, and remembered how great it is.
With a M16a1

Here my WA Para Ordnance that I've painted to make it look nicer.
I've painted the slide to match the grips since these picture where taken, looks even better now.

It looks like it takes some force,
Here is full pictures, done by Ironmonkey from CA.net

Hello,
There is a full takedown guide on Classicairsoft, if you are not a member yet I would suggest that you join their ASAP, as it's the best resource for all types of classic airsoft guns.
http://classicairsoft.org/forum/viewtopic....=50&t=11222
I had to shave a little from my mags. I took some material off the mag where it engages the mag catch. You should be able to see it when you insert the mag into the gun, see how much you will need to take off.
The last point, about fps, I can help you with. On the Escort style guns, the max fps is controlled by the spring, not the input PSI. You have reached the limit of your spring. Sparrow sells upgrade springs which should take your fps nearer to the 400 mark.

Yes, it's the same landrover that Catman and Maddog mount the M2 that they made. It means that the M2 and the minigun can be used in the same games, but one of them has to be static (at the moment, might change soon
)
Yes, it's been played around with internally, it does have a different motor in it. At one point it had a brushless motor, but was doing about 150rps, it was a bit silly. It's got a more standard motor inside now, still pushing out a really high rof. It's had a few other mods done by the boys too.

Some of my stuff
Sun Projects M4 with Daytonagun internals
Sun Projects Car15, also got some Daytonagun internals
Sun Projects M16 VN Style, with loads of real steel parts and full steel daytonagun internals (Car15 and AEG also in picture)
Daytonagun Limited edition AK, using Real Sword Type 56 body
P3 Minigun, a few (
) custom parts from Catman and Maddog
See what else I can find to post, and get some better pictures.

Absolutely beautiful, good to see that Justin has continued to improve the design, and yes, it’s more than a little cheaper than my version. My one is full steal internals too
It was one of the 20 limited edition full steel versions that Justin did (it’s number 1 of 20)Looking forward to seeing how the new hopup works, I also see he has improved on the collar again, makes it even less likely to slip.
Go to say that I love my version. It just works so well, it’s been the most reliable airsoft gun I’ve ever had. It’s also great fun to fire too, with a loud bark and a rhythm that could only be a AK.

Hi mate,
Not sure if I can answer this question, but I'll do my best. The trigger is connected to a airswitch, I'm pretty sure it's the same style as the MP5. I can only tell you my results but I've not had any problems, and I've also not seen anyone else have a problem with the trigger.
In fact the only problems I've heard about is with the donner gun, or the DBoys donner gun, a problem with the front site, but with the real sword I've not had any probelms, it's as solid as a rock.

This question is kinda stupid, but AGM M4? or WE?
I've heard WE took the flaws the WA and AGM have, and took away most of them. The AGM is going to end up costing me about $350 anyways, and I've been told on some part like 155 or something needs to be replaced on it. That's it. With AGM I might need bolt face, NPAS, bolt stop, right?
To be fair you are asking that question on a thread all about the WE, where most of the WE users hang out, you're not going to get a fair answer.
Also it really depends on what you are planning on using the rifle for? Main weapon, backup, a bit of fun etc. and also the weather where you are, site limits etc. Depending of what you plan to use it for really depends on what gun is right for you.
Check out both reviews and see what both sets of users are saying before you make up your mind.

My Asahi M60 is one of the best skirmish guns you can get. The range with a LRB is silly, and by that I mean that I loss sight of the bb well before it gets to it's maximum range.
The Sun Project/Daytonagun guns are another version that is very skirmish-able, in my opinion better than the current gas in the mag style GBBr's You do have to put up with the gas bottle, but I got over it fairly quickly once playing.
I have tried to use a non-LRB Jac M16, and that was pretty awful, it didn't help that the rof was so high it was like a lazer and it had almost no range.
