Quick question to those of you with ye old cyma bizons, what length air nozzle do you end up using with one? I have a shs long one atm for it, but I figure maybe the shorter one might be better, as for some reason it was not feeding well/compression was off at my last local game. I'm awaiting new gears before I finish trying to rebuild it.
Also odd tip for those of you who buy shs nylon piston heads and find the orings not doing well for compression tests: since #14 ones from the hardware store seem to not alter much due to how deep the channel is, I just tried wrapping a bit of teflon tape around the channel a bit and put the original oring on and seems to be duing the trick. Probably actually making it worse due to being too much but I'll probably end up taking it apart again in the future.

Anyone know what his happening with the Red Alliance forums? Haven't been able to get on there for some time, seems the site is down.
-
I was on it about 2 weeks ago so fingers crossed its not down for too long.
-
I saw an update from one of the mods that they were addressing it, but at the moment it just pops up a box asking for username/password with "suspended/restricted" in the tab window. I naturally decline to try my info.

Rejoice, the forums are back!

That feeling when you keep throwing money at reddit sales for random Russian gear just to fill the emptiness for a brief moment.

Someone finally made an an94 replica complete with pulley... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wbZM2XvUdfk

Heard LCT has a rpk drum mag in the works, anyone betting it will fail like all the others? If I ever got my rpk to actually work good I'd be tempted nonetheless.
-
On a whim I decided to look at a silly LCT aks74u variant that has a polmer folding stock, and saw it on firesupport. Apparently not only is it cheaper/same price as the Asia shops, but somehow it ends up costing only a pound to ship to the USA? (somehow VAT free line takes off 48 pounds off the 49 it showed). Mind boggling when some of the Asia shops were charging 100 dollars or more. Wish I had an excuse to test this out, I rather we got the downgraded fps versions here as well.

Anyone with a LCT RPK/74 got any imput on barrel length? I hear about the barrel being too long and folks going for shorter ones or getting "bore up" kits, yet others that say its fine just get another hop up.
-
I'd like to hear folk's thoughts on the G&G CM16 LMG being shown off lately. I agree with most detractors about the cost, the fact that the internals are not really built for the role it is supposed to represent, etc. but for some reason I just like the look of it (and folks will know I am anything but an armalite fan at all) due to the shape of the upper. I kinda want to see what G&G would do to make an ak variant of the same concept, whether they would take one of their rk74 rifles and slap a drum mag on it or would they bother designing a rpk length receiver, maybe make a pseudo rpk-16.
-
Nothing against it really, not to my taste but I'm not sure that there's anything inherently unsuitable about the v3 gearbox for LMG usuage. But as these type of light weight LMG's become more common - rpk16 is a good example - milsim organisers will have to think a bit different about how they class and balance them. I'd suggest 12kg - weight of gun = weight you have to carry on your person AT ALL TIMES haha. Easy!
-
I hardly ever see LMGs on the field and I'd like to see more, especially if it means regular ARs/SMGs being limited to semi-auto. I'd happily take a couple of these pretty-clearly-just-a-dressed-up-AR-15 things if that's what it takes to stop literally everyone else wasting 100rds at a time from their regular AEG.

Apparently I missed this month's local game because it was only posted on private page on fb. Kinda a punch in the gut feeling now.

Ordered a G&G Green bucking alongside ammo from airsoftatlanta, figured I'd give them some business again. They somehow managed to send only the bucking and not the nub or retaining ring with it. Installed it anyways since sending it back just not worth it but that just soured my day and my plans to do more business with them in the future.
