    Just received mine. The storage side does indeed take two shells, but I wouldn't waste your time putting them in there. Or at least on mine I had to get a thin flat head and flick the edge of the shell with the latch lifted to get them to come out. The active shell popped out easily enough when tilting the rifle vertically to give the shell a bit more momentum. I did notice the two pins that hold the trigger pack in are quite easy to knock (they haven't fallen out but after just some messing around I had to push them back into place). I'm fairly happy so far, mainly because of the he

    Perhaps an odd request. But my M&P9 V Custom got lost 2 months ago on site, and was stumbled upon a couple of weeks ago. Unfortunately however it seems the slide has swollen or deformed thanks to being exposed to the weather and the gun jams up (when fitted, the nozzle doesn't spring back as it should, unless you widen the slide by hand). Anyone have any idea where a new top slide might be available? Checked Eagle6 but they've only the regular slide available. Not too fussed by replacing with metal as I fancy keeping it usable in the winter. Sent from my iPhone using Tapa

    As the battery is in the foregrip, you'd still be able to get the top rail (not top cover) off without any issue with side mount (which you'd have to tap the TM receiver to fit). Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Top section/rail just comes off, depress a spring loaded nub that holds it in and lift straight out. Battery changes are pretty quick if you had to do it in field or something. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Got into the AK world with a TM AKS74U. Snapped two stock catches in two games (I'm not sure what they're made of should even qualify as metal) so got a team mate to fit an M4 stock tube (using metal resin, a bolt through the stock mounting block on the rear of the receiver, screwing into a steel washer inside the stock). Chucked on a CTR clone stock, Nitro Vo/Laylax rail, BCM Gunfighter grip and Shield CQS micro dot. Finished off with some khaki and OD krylon. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Finally got in on the AK party, stumped up for a TM AKS74U. Only fielded her once but pretty happy, then got a team mate to get the rattle cans out. Was very much in two minds about putting the stencil on each mag (both sides) but I'm happy with how its come out, probably a bit marmite for some.

    Gave my TM recoil some love this week with a Troy Battle Ax stock and a fresh coat of paint done by a team mate. Previously didn't want to paint the optic due to using it for a couple of different rifles, but now I've sorted a sight for the other one, the short dot will probably stay on this and get a matching spray job. Has come out a bit lighter in the images than in person mind.

    Long shot, but have they been opened up recently for a clean and perhaps put back together incorrectly? Can't see how BBs could get around the follower unless something has been really worn down.

    +1 to the Naga. Been using mine in some pretty chilly weather with just a heat shirt and its been perfect for the job. That said, as soon as it starts getting warmer, it'll be too much for skirmishing in though. As stupid as the hood looks, it seems to serve its purpose brilliantly. Very expensive for a essentially a hoodie with one small chest pocket, but its a go to layer in the winter for me.

    A team mate has replaced every single part internally and fitted a BTC fet, so gearbox wise, yes it is entirely the same as the M4/416 line up, the differences coming with the recoil weight I believe, which is a larger size given the larger buffer tube etc.

    FFI make sets of Crye-style M81 kit. I think JK Army has them?
  12. Manxmadman
    And if not, you can do a spot of filing to the outer barrel to make one side have the same profile as the 6 o'clock, which is what I did to fit my RIS 2 on a SOCOM. Didn't need to do anything to fit a battery within a Madbull Viking tactics rail, just just a split pack 1450 lipo from component shop and just used a spot of tape to hold it in position whilst sliding the tube over.
  13. Manxmadman
    If you're going with the fet, get rid of all that QD cubbins (fuse, bars, contact points on the stock tube) and just solder two lengths of wire onto the wires on the stock and be done with it.

    They've a dedicated website too, but tbh it's probably easier to browse eBay as it's a bit of a mess. Couple of mates have bought from there regularly and not had an issue. I've just bought some sordins and a midland PTT today so I'll find out for myself what they're like too. I did buy a lonex piston and piston head from them a whole ago and they seemed good then. The clothing one is a difficult one to get right though, they are repro trousers and from their point of view, they don't know how you treated them to cause the issue. Perhaps they could have dealt with it better and discussed

    Just read on one of the recoil facebook pages that the Next Gen BTC should be on sale within the next 48 hours or so.

    Pretty much finished this one. Started life as a TM Recoil CQBR.

    I managed to get away with one whole pack of shims to bolt my barrel down when using a Madbull DD RIS2 barrel nut, but that was more luck and judgement I think as the first time I used that many it was still moving around side to side, then unscrewed it, reseated the TM base a bit and it seated perfectly (this is when fitting to a SOCOM front wired if that makes any difference).

    Ah cheers for the advice. Something like this seems more ideal then: http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/__44772__Turnigy_nano_tech_1200mAh_2S_25_50C_Lipo_AIRSOFT_Pack_EU_warehouse_.html

    So having read most of this monster thread (not all by any means), I'm pretty confident that this will work but could use some confirmation (diving into the recoil range for the first time soon). I plan on grabbing the SOCOM and the Madbull DD 12.5inch RIS II and then going for the following Lipo within the rail: http://www.componentshop.co.uk/7-4v-1300mah-25c-cranestock-battery.html Is this going to fit/work? Seen plenty of other rails with lipos within so I assume it'll work, but just looking for an experienced yes.

    Been lurking in this thread for a while and decided to finally put a PJ load out together which will be my first real impression (previously just ran gear that suited what I wanted). I'm going to be going down the Multicam and JPC route, but I have a couple of questions. What sort of medical pouches are used? Seen TT knocked around but would appreciate an answer. Also i notice that it was mentioned that SCAR Ls were in use, albeit in small numbers. Would a SCAR L be legit with the JPC idea? As I have a SCAR L I could utilise for this if so rather than needing to buy and build a

    And with what happened with PTS and Magpul I can see that trend continuing with manufacturers demanding that any airsoft licensee must make a fundamental change to make it obvious what's real steal and what's not, which is a shame.
  22. Manxmadman
    It's just a standard AEG, there isn't any of the 'advanced' features like blowback, bolt lock etc. just your bog standard AEG from the PoV.
  23. Manxmadman
    Yeah it's standard for the $ sign to get switched for £ by retailers.
  24. Manxmadman
    Ah yeah, Airsoft Chi t (apparently that is blocked by the filter, interesting) Chat. Have to go looking elsewhere then. Cheers

    Where did you get your NPAS from Space? I've looked into Milspec Solutions, but I've had no luck at all hearing back from them, so I'm looking for somewhere else that I can grab one before the AI500 event to rock my KRISS (looking UK based at this point given AI is in two weeks).
