jal3 Posted June 10, 2016 Report Share Posted June 10, 2016 I think the small backpack propane tanks aren't that much cheaper, but if you use the re-useable big yellow tanks at gas stations, it's like 1/40 the cost of normal green gas. You could fill from it over into smaller bottles at home. Link to post Share on other sites
FireKnife Posted June 10, 2016 Report Share Posted June 10, 2016 Do what I did and go spring. It runs on the power of water and a few light snacks in the morning, means I never forget my 'running power' either. Hell even gas is easier as most places sell a can of it, stupid batteries. Now to sell one last pistol, then I can cut out the need to buy Ultra and just have Green and 144a?!?! 'FireKnife' Link to post Share on other sites
Gunmane Posted June 10, 2016 Report Share Posted June 10, 2016 Thought about going to see a new field that is opening up tomorrow (that supposedly is not paintball for once), but now I'm likely forced to walk in 32.22 °C in some parade. Already got burnt today having to help "correct" the playset for the rotten great grandchild that I ranted about months ago. Link to post Share on other sites
DrAlexanderTobacco Posted June 10, 2016 Report Share Posted June 10, 2016 I went down that route a while back. Reasons for not continuing using it are it's not a whole heap cheaper, manually adding lube is anot inconvenience and propane stinks like *albartroth*. If you're not averse to cleaning the gun when you get home every night, adding lube to gas/mags isn't needed that often. As long as mags are kept gassed and lubed up when being stored, you'll have no risk of the seals going. Link to post Share on other sites
Gunmane Posted June 11, 2016 Report Share Posted June 11, 2016 Broke two florescent tube lights because no one bothers to put covers on them and hang them too low to put containers back onto shelf. Link to post Share on other sites
scorch Posted June 11, 2016 Report Share Posted June 11, 2016 I think the small backpack propane tanks aren't that much cheaper, but if you use the re-useable big yellow tanks at gas stations, it's like 1/40 the cost of normal green gas. You could fill from it over into smaller bottles at home. That's sounds like a significant pain in the *albartroth*. Also, I don't really have the room to store and work with big propane tanks.

As long as mags are kept gassed and lubed up when being stored, you'll have no risk of the seals going. I don't mind a bit of routine maintenance, but I am finding myself with less and less time to actually do any. I currently have a backlog of things waiting for repair.

Got Wood? Posted June 11, 2016 Report Share Posted June 11, 2016 Got my MP7 out to play with at a night game tonight, 4 of 5 mags have all leaked slowly, and now ###### out the base plate. Brilliant gun totally let down by retarded magazine design. It's 2016. No one should be making gas mags with pinned bad plates. Link to post Share on other sites
scorch Posted June 11, 2016 Report Share Posted June 11, 2016 My mp7 developed a base plate leak too. I forsee rtv silicone in my future. Link to post Share on other sites
DeltaZero Posted June 11, 2016 Report Share Posted June 11, 2016 Hold fire on RTV silicone in mags... Im not 100% of the cause yet but im getting some gunk shot out of my M&P9.. (Looks like the sticky stuff that attaches a new credit card to the paperwork that comes with it) everything was fine before I did the RTV silicone so that's what I am diagnosing it down to at the moment.. Haven't had a chance to take a mag down to have a look though! Not looking forward to disassembling the mag with all the silicone though..

DeltaZero Posted June 12, 2016 Report Share Posted June 12, 2016 Arnies has been down for over a day.. And my boiler has gone tits up so now I have no hot water or heat... With no arnies I've had no one to rant to... I only just made it through gents, thank god we are back now! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to post Share on other sites

shmook Posted June 12, 2016 Report Share Posted June 12, 2016 RANT ABOUT DOUBLE POSTING! RAARRRRRR! Also, I always get a bit disheartened when Arnies is down. Don't know why. When any other forums goes, I'm like 'meh'. Arnies is my staple forum. I miss the odd kids when it drops Link to post Share on other sites

DeltaZero Posted June 13, 2016 Report Share Posted June 13, 2016 Thanks m'lord! Boiler is fixed now, seems the missus had somehow hit the fuse.. I assumed it was a fuse for the cooker not the boiler! Feel like a right nob! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to post Share on other sites
Hedganian Posted June 13, 2016 Report Share Posted June 13, 2016 You mean you hadn't tried turning it off and on again? Link to post Share on other sites
DeltaZero Posted June 13, 2016 Report Share Posted June 13, 2016 Haha IT Crowd was my first thought too... I assumed that as it was right next to the cooker and not the boiler (on the other side of the room) it was for the cooker. But apparently not. I did try the fuse board itself but obviously had no effect. Ah well! Sorted now, I just had a weekend of cold showers to keep my on my toes Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to post Share on other sites
Mike_West Posted June 13, 2016 Report Share Posted June 13, 2016 So my friend and her psycho husband are starting to get on my nerves. He threw her out again, she's still unwilling to live in her parents' old flat, explaining it with childhood trauma, and I don't really feel like letting her mooch off me for an extended period.

amateurstuntman Posted June 13, 2016 Report Share Posted June 13, 2016 Don't use RTV silicone, use proper epoxy resin. You don't need to undo the base plate ever, it's only got a base plate due to manufacturing processes. Link to post Share on other sites
DeltaZero Posted June 13, 2016 Report Share Posted June 13, 2016 Which epoxy resin would you suggest? Im going to strip my mags this week and go down another route so any help would be appreciated! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to post Share on other sites
shmook Posted June 13, 2016 Report Share Posted June 13, 2016 I used epoxy on my sig 226 mags when 2 screws stripped. Was just 2 pack store-bought stuff, generic b and q I think. They have held up for years now, just degrease and key the surfaces, and you're golden Link to post Share on other sites

scorch Posted June 14, 2016 Report Share Posted June 14, 2016 So do you leave the rubber seal in place or are you replacing that with epoxy? Link to post Share on other sites
Got Wood? Posted June 14, 2016 Report Share Posted June 14, 2016 What do you do, smear it on over the O ring that seals the base? Link to post Share on other sites
