  1. UK drivers. Do you protect your NCB or just blag it? Seems a gamble either way and I was just wondering what others do.

      My wife checked when she last renewed - was only about £20 more. definately worth it compared to what you'd lose if you DID have a crash.

      I don't because I've only got 3 years. Once I hit 5 years NCB I probably will.

  3. Time to open a gearbox, I am sure nothing could possibly go wrong.

    1. Tinkerton

      Tinkerton

      Hop units are tricky, but nowt really difficult. Also, the v3 gearbox is one of the easiest to work on.

  4. I think we all have the Bottomless Pit Disease: where one refuses to stop changing parts and accessories for a gun.

      It's not BPD, it's actually GAAD - Gun and Accessory Aquisition Disorder. ;)

  5. Where have all my Allen keys gone?

    1. Tinkerton

      Flat heads are better than hex, at least, however I agree about crosshead/pozidrive. I've just made the hard decision to start using torx wood screws instead of pozi's. Even though they're literally twice the price.

      I hate allen/hex bolts. They are the worst combination of poor torque transfer, and easy camming out of the driver. Gimme Torx or Robertson bolts any day :<

  8. Can anyone point me to box mag wiring diagram to trigger?

  9. My usual random questions .. which i could just test when i get home .. but does a Full size MP5 stock fit an MP5K?

    1. Tinkerton

      Tinkerton

      As above, sadly not. The full size MP5's are different at the rear of the receiver. The full size ones use one pin (and the stock slides over the receiver) whereas the K uses 2 pins and the stock/endplate slides INSIDE the receiver.

  10. Does anyone know where I can get a replacement pin that holds on the foregrip / handguard on a MP5k that features a sling loop for clipping a sling to? Looking at using the sling tension option to save on a stock.

    1. Tinkerton

      Tinkerton

      I'm 90% certain i've got a spare mp5k pin. PM me your address and i'll stick it in t'post.

  11. Damn, looks like I will need a winter gun again based on forecasts. Anyone got a TM MP5K they don't mind parting with for cash / 'favours' :P

      Challenge kit = i've got a box of bits which has all the required parts to build an MP5K... ;)

  13. for an R-hop do I want a hard or soft hop rubber? I thought hard so it seals better

    1. Tinkerton

      Tinkerton

      ^ This. usually the softer ones seal better in the hop unit. usually.

  14. Is one style of TM Pistol hopup better in terms of range/ accuracy than the others?

    1. Tinkerton

      Tinkerton

      AFAIK, most of the post P226 hop systems have been pretty much the same in terms of operation.

      could you not make some rough casts of the plastic ones using sand and some kind of metal epoxy?
