  1. So, I recently lost a bunch of ak mag plate bottoms on some new cyma magazines (dumbass me didn't glue/tape them) and I am wondering if anyone has ever tried real deal 74 magazine plate bottoms on them before?  I figure the dimensions are probably too different.  Also have some missing off some MAG brand plums.  Surprised that there is not 3d printed solution out there afaik.

      Yeah, that is what I was thinking of at the time.

  2. Just had an odd thought:  Instead of buying multiple GATE NanoASR for most or my v3 gearbox replicas, I could just procure the double signal wire and wiring for the motor connection parts and just disconnect the mosfet whenever I want to swap out, couldn't I?

      Got a spare one and multiple signal wires sets on the way to do just that now.

  3. 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 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.

  5. Dude built a 3D printed H&K G11, but the gearbox's piston is attached to the body to simulate EBB? That's gotta suck for reliability.

      Knowing how crazy good the guy is at making stuff, he probably has a means to work around it.  So many neat things popping out now compared to actual companies atm.

  6. TM please make a GBB version of this in the future. This thing just too adorable.

      Just got to get Marui Man to hold one somehow.

  7. 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.

      any updates?  I managed to get my model's stock barrel out and it is indeed 610mm.

      Are you running a suppressor replica on it or something?  The longest I heard for mine was 610mm stock barrel...

  9. 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.

    1. Gunmane

      Gunmane

      No, I just did not have a way to access said page at the time.  Rectified that for this month, though I don't like having a fb account.

  10. So, are we gonna talk about the new WE instant rice?

    1. Gunmane

      Gunmane

      I'd settle for more Russian replicas at least, like my eternal desire for a Stechkin

      I heard that supposedly the CEO wants to expand into other areas of products but doesn't want to have to make up another company hence WE all the things.

  12. Anyone got an idea what sort of magazine floor/base plates would work for the old MAG ak74 midcaps?  Realize that I have a few without baseplates whiles I was trudging through the collection today.

    1. Gunmane

      Gunmane

      Furthermore, does anyone know of places in the US that might have the cyma or lct midcaps in plum?  It seems that except for the lct ones being sold with particular models they are only found in a select few overseas shops and the cymas I have not seen anywhere in stock.

  13. So, it is only just now that I have heard of ICS making a Makarov.  Apparently first shown back in 2016, has anyone heard more about it?

    1. Gunmane

      Gunmane

      It almost feels like the KWA length of tease since I just saw an image of the ics model in one of HyperDouraku's MOA posts.

  14. For anyone who can decipher this horrible shop's website listings, is this a rebranded cyma 40b vfc style ak105, or one of the tm models and they just cannot put correct picture up?  For some odd reason they have this cheaper than the cyma 40b reband by itself, which has me immediately suspicious.  If it is the vfc style, it kinda beats out the non rebrand offers elsewhere and I might be tempted to jump on it.  http://www.airsoftmegastore.com/21465-cyma-airsoft-ak-105-aeg-full-metal-side-folding-stock-black.aspx

    Oddly enough, this place has 100 series front ends for sale, but for some reason they decide their "free" shipping does not apply to them.

      NVM, their site will not even let me go to checkout because something is out of stock despite showing everything in stock.

      I am inclined to believe the former on the basis that the item code for the rifle in their shopping cart menu is LT-740D which corresponds with lancer's rebrand of the cm40 models iirc.

  16. Bit of a longshot, but does anyone have any info about this custom AK-9 model done years ago?  th_ak9_03.jpg  The group that did it either has no facebook page that is public (not requiring a log in) or is just gone completely.  I theorize they either took a 100 series receiver or possible one of those 74u ones that came with a full folding stock and fabricated the pistol grip, mag, and possibly front sight/barrel threads.  The lower hand guard must be the lct one produced as "AK-9 style).  Not going to lie, I kinda like it more than the VSS/VAL style of 9x39.

      Thank you for your effort Arnie.  I tried searching through that site's youtube page hoping that maybe they showed it off at one point but no dice.  A few folks over on Red Alliance supposedly made their own years ago as well, but all the pictures are gone for the most part.

      Just one of those things you get curious about and wonder why companies like LCT (who had a prototype one) ignored it.

      Of course, I'd quickly ignore it if a SG542 got made somehow, but that is an even more far fetched dream.

  17. Was wondering if anyone knew why Mach Sakai is doing review videos of guns he's already done before in the past lately, like for example the S&T Type 64. I saw it pop up in my feed today and figured maybe it was getting an update or something.

      Figured so. Just didn't help with bringing back my Battle Rifle urges.

  18. I'm confused, I thought ASG just rebranded *suitcase* and didn't actually make guns themselves. Am I wrong?

    1. Gunmane

      It seems they are a little of both. The blur of the line (or lines) get confusing after so many years I feel.

  19. So, whilst watching some silly airsoft vids from Japan, I noticed that the bolt action rifles being shown were being loaded from what seemed like a trap door reservoir, with possibly a high cap wheel. It looked like a type 99 based on what appeared to be a dustcover. Makes me wonder if it was a custom build or something?

    1. Gunmane

      Gunmane

      Yeah, it is a KTW then. Just saw a shop image gallery and it matches. Kinda makes me wonder why other companies haven't tried that feeding design, must be something weak about it.

  20. Is it time to start building our stiff upper lip kits?

      sigh, I figured as such. Knowing our luck, the first dpm any company makes will be the same.

  21. Got a mate asking me about JG G36k model as a starter. Someone offering it at 100 dollars, changed the hop up, and seems okay, but I am trying to find the old reviews and whatnot and am having difficulties trying to offer advice to him.

    1. Gunmane

      Gunmane

      that's what I gathered. I just had several hours of discussion with him about general terms and whatnot and in the end said for him to think about his options.

      thing apparently was a shop showroom model. It's just this gun is from so far back I'm not sure how to advise.

  23. So, I've figured that the problem with one of the gearbox that was in my main kalash (a stock one I haven't taken apart) is that it has been locking up with the anti reversal latch. My 9.6v nimhs still have quite some charge left on them, but every time I try to test said gearbox after releasing the jam, it locks back up. Going to charge one of nimhs up to full to see if it really just need more juice, but I fear something else is going on.

    1. Gunmane

      Gunmane

      Yep, charged battery did the trick after the unlock. Now to figure if I want to rebuild the other gearbox...

  24. The old Airbana map seems to have gone now. "oh we'll rely on facebook to publicise our site".. the *fruitcage* search on facebook is useless AF! When you don't play that often to keep up on what's closed and new places opening this is a PITA.

    1. Gunmane

      Gunmane

      I don't do the facebooks, so for my local scene I have no clue as to anything that might be actually close by happening. Sad too as we have had perfect weather most of winter to play.
