But most of them can be educated. We have to learn patience because they have been corrupted by things like facebook and reddit.
When I joined airsoft retreat in 2005, I was a tard too, but I learned the value of the information. I got my ego ripped apart more than once, but I kept at it.
Now I do my own thing, and not worry about fitting in. People will stay if they like the environment, and people will leave if they don't.
It's the fact that we might have a more twat to enthusiast ratio in the long run, that worries me.

Believe it or not, the old days are gone. We need an influx of new people for this forum to survive.
I say bring the post count down to 50, maybe 40. We have a good community, but without a newer crowd, we'll end up a pre-historic memory, like a good number of other great forums. (airsoft retreat, airsoft barracks, trader airsoft). Plus, it's easier to scam people on reddit, then a forum.
Arnies has been around for a decent amount of time, it would be a shame for it to die.
Edit: our elitism will kill us to, unfortunately. Only reason Airsoft Forum and Zero In has as many members joining them is because they cater to new airsofters.

JAC Hi Power MKIII. One of the most beautiful replicas I own.
-
Beautiful, Safeword. I was going to pick one up from Airsoft Global, but I was too late.

Hmm, shame.
I've seen some people add metal pipe under the top receiver tube. They drill out the plastic and put a tube/rod in there. Keeps you from using the charging handle, but you need to remove the bolt plate to do it properly so you can still access hop adjustment.
To be honest, I'll end up moding the G&G metal body to fit the PSG lower.
Some say the G3 V2 GB is a weakness, but if you know what to do with any V2 internals when doing high power build, then it won't matter. The internals are nothing special, G&P everything except the motor. I pulled the gearbox out of a Prime LR 300 and put it in the G3. Compression good if not perfect and I corrected the AoE. Gears are 18:1 which is fine for the 400 Fps field rules. The motor is SHS high torque. The Warfet is hardwired and set for auto mode pre cock. So, now it's a PSG 1 with a much more reasonable barrel length and iron sights.
Little mods such as faucet washers (cheaper than sorbo and it holds the AoE better), radius the gearbox, wire to deans, shimming hop up arm, r hop and lapping actually keep the performance competitive, along with keeping the gun's longevity in check. Too many little mods to list.
To bad external parts are so hard to find.

Nice and simple setup. Still my dream gun.

Nothing wrong with having a hobby you love and spending money on that love. I work for Property management at an HQ for rather large local buisness. We have a lot of Porsche's and Mercedes in the lot. Ask the owners about the specs of the cars and *fruitcage* if they know, they always remember what they paid, though.

Beautiful collection, Safeword. How are detailed are those engraved WE's?

I just don't get the golf ball effect.

If you sand the raw finish and duracoat it, it will look nice. A little work is required with these. You can't beat the price and uniqueness of his items.

Nighthawk T3 slide by Ken props.

I have been talking with Ken for sometime now and he seems to be the only one who is taking advantage of 3D printing for serious airsoft application. Slides, barrels, sights and mounts for TM Glock, Hi-capa and MEU. It's plastic but it's Nylon 12/PA12 polymer, not crappy resin. Highly recommend you guys check him out.

That's a lot of 1911's! You could make a photo book with little discriptions of each one with that many.

Nice, I had a MGC .38 Super with an LRB in it once. One of the last pistols with the Hydro-blowback system before more modern guns came out by WA and Tanaka and such.
-
I love the sights. Been a fan of Heinie two dot setup for awhile. Which is why when I built my 1911, a Heinie was required.

Lovin' the Rail Gun in stainless. Much nicer than KWC previous efforts.

Fitted the sight. A little gap was needed for the sight to sit right.
Merry Christmas.

Thank you, I really appreciate that.

I always wanted a .38 Super, and I had to build one my self. WA Wild Hawk slide on a DP frame. Colt Defender controls. Sheriff trigger and MSH. And at the heart of the project, Cobra tapered barrel with metal .38 super chamber.
Still in WIP mode due to the Heinie rear sight not fitting. I guess the dovetail spec is not all the same on SCW. Still not sure about the silver controls.
This gun was originally a Bob chow that was in a house fire 3 months ago. I lost my Colt defender and by the time I found the Chow (in a rubble) it was starting to rust. I bought new parts for it and replaced the rusty and oxidized parts with new ones.
Sadly I lost my pets and been using this project to keep my mind off that.

It is a springer. It has functional slide stop and even a half cock. This one is even rarer as it came with an LRB.
Performance is okay, when it works. Finding a silver one or a black with a compensator that works is pretty hard.

You don't have to apologize, it was needed at the time.
