To be honest I hadn't given it much thought, the few bits I buy tend to come from HK or Taiwan these days rather than Europe as the shipping was always cheaper. Jim.

My Striker project https://junglesairsoftblog.wordpress.com/2018/11/04/ares-amoeba-striker-as02-review-and-project-start/

My striker is running around 450fps on 0.2, it seems to really like Longbow 0.36g and 0.4g https://www.longbowbb.co.uk/product-page/longbow-0-36g-x-1000 I would suggest that 0.3g is a bit light, the hop on my Striker AS02 will easily lift 0.4g. Range and accuracy are good and the heavier ammo is more resistant to wind deflection. Jim.

I've dug out my old KSC and KWA Glocks but I need some parts to get them going again. I could with blowback units and nozzles, hop units and barrels, all sorts of stuff. Anybody got a load of KSC Glock bits in their spares box? Thank you, Jim

I've had quite a few pistols over the years but my favourite TM has to be my G17 from what 9 years ago?, always works, never let me down, good range and gas efficiency, lobs a 0.3g Longbow a heck of a long way, it's always been run on propane from day 1. The only thing I've upgraded on it was a Guarder aluminium slide when they were going cheap, that was probably 2 years after I bought it (so roughly 7 years ago now) the plastic slide was fine but the aluminium slide was a little nicer to look at. It's been cleaned and greased regularly so shows very little internal wear, it's a very simple design and just works. I had it in a HERA carbine for a couple of years and it was a brilliant woodland gun when I wanted something light to run about with. I really want the TM G19 but I just can't justify the purchase when the G17 is still rocking.

KJW MK1 still going strong

Good news! All we need is Finmere to reopen and we can see it in action!

Battleaxe mags arrived, very quick shipping, £7.99 each from Patrol Base (+ shipping) they are Gen3 style and so longer than my old PTS LR20s (gen 1/2?) Build quality is pretty good, not as solid as the originals but they were £30 each a decade ago so... Baseplate is held on with a 2mm hex screw, (I would guess they designed the hicap first) and thinner than normal so not compatible with gen3 308 ranger plates (unfortunate as I still have some I bought for the PTS mags, which they don't fit either grrrrr) Haven't shot them yet but I've filled and emptied them a few times with 0.25/0.3/0.36/0.4g and they look promising. 120 round capacity seems accurate but a little disappointing as the old ones held 140 and were smaller. Testing with my A&K SR25 magwell they fit and lock in with a tiny bit of wobble, solid but they drop free nicely.

I'm not sure if anybody is still looking for PMAG's for SR25? I just found these today. https://www.taiwangun.com/en/aeg-mid-cap/120-round-sr25-ar10-rifle-magazine-dark-earth-battleaxe Really cheap and look solid, battleaxe also do them as 500 round hicaps or 300 round flash mags, I've ordered 2 black ones from a UK supplier to compare them with my old PTS LR20 PMAG's. Jim.

You might need to add trigger parts/ sears to that order, the as01 trigger is not the same design as the AS02, the as01 was a 45 degree sear, the AS02/3 have 90 degree sears that are a bit stronger. Unless they've updated the as01 design. Jim.

Hi, it's a really old Nikko Stirling 1.5-5x25, a really old LPVO that I got off eBay years ago, I also have a Simmons Pro Diamond 1.5-5x25 which is almost identical, the Simmons was marketed as a shotgun scope originally. The modern equivalent would probably be a Vision King 1-5x25. Jim.

Hi, there's a really active Facebook owners group for the striker, I spent a fair amount of time on there reading up before I bought one. I've put my thoughts about my AS02 on my blog. Here's a link to part one https://junglesairsoftblog.wordpress.com/2018/11/04/ares-amoeba-striker-as02-review-and-project-start/ Hope that helps, Jim. Sent from my POT-LX1 using Tapatalk

Mine? They are Howard Leight impact sports mounted on £10 eBay mounts, kept the original plastic arms on the earpro and slid them onto the wires on the mounts no mods needed. Sent from my POT-LX1 using Tapatalk
