Glumly Posted September 11, 2007 Report Share Posted September 11, 2007 its a little dissapointing that the 8.4's suck so bad as i have a big stack of em and dont fancy buying mroe, was this rof with the stock spring? Hopefully an m100 will help a little Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Gaffa Posted September 11, 2007 Report Share Posted September 11, 2007 8.4's are great, esp. when working with the AR-15 series of weapons. The ROF with a fully charged 9.6v mini thats included is around 800 rpm, maybe you can get more with something with a *few* more amps, like 2400mAh. Might have to be a custom though.

rolling-thunder Posted September 11, 2007 Report Share Posted September 11, 2007 An announcement on the airsoftscotland website "An important change has taken place which involves online payments for ALL airsoft replicas. Paypal in their infinite wisdom have decided to pull the plug on us all by closing down all accounts dealing in airsoft and air gun products. We actually received no notice from them at all which was very nice and polite of Paypal - thanks for nothing!" I'm glad i payed before they got shafted,i just hope they have my money & paypal didn't steal it off them.I've just mailed them to confirm all is well. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mightyjebus Posted September 11, 2007 Report Share Posted September 11, 2007 hi so how did you fit a 9.6v battery in to the a&k plz mate was it in a batt bag or something ah its ok someone has helped with this am so not lookin thanks <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I used a 8.4V 2200Mah custom battery. It looks like a stick battery but has 3 cells connected by wire. There is enough room to fit 2 stick batteries in the stock. All i did was fold the battery in half(kinda) and it slotted right in. My Mk2 didn't come with a battery or charger. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

rolling-thunder Posted September 12, 2007 Report Share Posted September 12, 2007 I'm rather glad I payed ASW directly with a credit card rather than going through PayPal on this occasion in that case. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> My problem is that i can't afford to spend family money,all the funds i've made on ebay & payed into paypal aren't coming out of the family budget & as such i don't miss them.I've made enough to fund my airsoft buying over the last year with out having to spend much out of the family budget,i was able to afford to 249 because of a mixture of timing & luck{my Mrs bought something for about £1.75 & sold it on ebay for $250 & that went towards to 249}& i really can't stand the idea of paypal ripping everyone off.If it wasn't for the fact paypal is damned useful i'd have sacked it off ages ago.

mightyjebus Posted September 12, 2007 Report Share Posted September 12, 2007 The A&K mag works fine in the CA 249 however it's a bit loose where it attaches to the underside of the AEG. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Shard Posted September 12, 2007 Report Share Posted September 12, 2007 Finally, after 3 missed flights in Hong Kong and Heathrow keeping them overnight and charging us £296 storage fee, they are here. ALL will be delivered by Friday Steve M ALL of them have batteries and chargers, as advertised!!!!!! Woop ! Looks like it will be in time for the weekend afterall. Cheers for the thought of the offer anyway Tarnish I too am glad I used worldpay and my card rather than paypal. Could have been a right *bleep* otherwise Roll on M249 day this week !

Elquemira Posted September 12, 2007 Report Share Posted September 12, 2007 I dont know what to believe, because in another forum I just have read that the standar hop-up rubber fits just well... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Glumly Posted September 12, 2007 Report Share Posted September 12, 2007 Hmmm now weve just gotta wait and see if ASW have enough to cover all there orders! Pretty psyched but im away to college tommorrow so i hope it comes sooner rather than later. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ErikBobbo Posted September 12, 2007 Report Share Posted September 12, 2007 So give me a list of suggested upgrades... First of all I'll give it a weaker spring... for RoF and rules here. New nozzle? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

So whats the deal with the nozzle and hop rubber being a different size can anyone confirm this??? thanks Butch Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mightyjebus Posted September 12, 2007 Report Share Posted September 12, 2007 Ok ..i had the chance to have a bit of a play around with my Mk2 and added a few G&P bits. Just for everyones info the G&P front flash hiders do not fit as they are the wrong thread. Star ones do. arty shot. Custom battery. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Habakure Posted September 12, 2007 Report Share Posted September 12, 2007 I paid for my PARA via paypal last thursday and it will be delivered tomorrow, so I would assume if you have paid via pay pal and have received notification payment made then you should get your aeg.

EOL Posted September 12, 2007 Report Share Posted September 12, 2007 Im sorry to ask this but where can i buy one? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

rolling-thunder Posted September 12, 2007 Report Share Posted September 12, 2007 (edited) Im sorry to ask this but where can i buy one? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Honestly,you should be sorry if you read the thread www.airsoftscotland.com or www.actionhobbys.com Edited September 12, 2007 by rolling-thunder Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Understandable really with all the work of packaging up all the guns but i'd still like reassuring that my order is still ok,it's not like i'm asking when my order will be dispatched when i'm actually asking if my order will go through normally! I'll not begin to worry{to much} until Monday. Edited September 12, 2007 by rolling-thunder Quote Link to post Share on other sites
zombe minge Posted September 12, 2007 Report Share Posted September 12, 2007 thats me to chaps i had no email as of yet and payed by world pay to shard so we all in the same boat but we have payed so we should get our order i to hope they have not over sold but we will see so close i can all most taste it Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Habakure Posted September 12, 2007 Report Share Posted September 12, 2007 I reckon that because of the fact they are being bombarded with emails and the like that maybe there a little late letting people know when and or if there order has been dispatched. With october looming and the un certainty some people are feeling it looks like everyman and his dog are ordering aeg's at the minute. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
rolling-thunder Posted September 12, 2007 Report Share Posted September 12, 2007 hope they have not over sold but we will see <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I don't think it's over sold although they must be very close to their 300 guns.I imagine that once they have sent out all the preorders that people will soon buy up the rest. Until i get verified i suppose i'll just have to buy accessories like a small box mag & mags for my other guns? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Shard Posted September 12, 2007 Report Share Posted September 12, 2007 I perhaps spoke a little soon! I've just had an email from the "evening shift" saying mine will be sent tommorow for Friday delivery. Cool, though god damn it, this waiting malarkey is killing me hehe.

zombe minge Posted September 12, 2007 Report Share Posted September 12, 2007 (edited) shard how long ago did you put your order in ahh this is startin to get on my tits hope this thing dont go tits up, really would like this before the weekend Edited September 12, 2007 by zombe minge Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Stealthbomber Posted September 12, 2007 Report Share Posted September 12, 2007 Geez guys, grow some freaking patience. It's a toy gun. I'm sure you've got another one to play with. If it doesn't arrive for this skirmish it'll arrive for the next one. In other news, I wonder if Frenchie could wrap mine up disguised and, ummm, something cheap? Cos my missus is going to go abso-*******-lutely mental when it arrives at my house. She already wasn't happy when I'd told here I wasn't buying any more guns then ordered the EBR and the M41a kit and tried to point out that, technically, they weren't new guns. Just conversions for ones I already have. When the Para arrives I'm going to be sleeping in the garden shed. Which is good cos if it DOES arrive on Friday I can make an early start heading off to play on saturday morning. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
