AR-15 REPAIR HELP

Hi all

Could use some help with my G&G AR-15 SBR8, the charging handle for the hop.up lever is stuff fully open, I cant expose the hop up. How would I go about taking this apart to see if the spring is gone or if its come off some sort of rail?

Not sure if firing the gun with it like this is safe or not, so any help would be sound!!!

Looking for the right beretta?

I’m already searching for the right holster, which is golf dust, but looking for a M9 replica that is either optics cut or will allow me to remove the rear sight block to attach an RMR/SRO plate (as above) but I CANNOT seem to find a damn thing, the Raven R9-4 has an optics cut but it’s non functioning and the SRC is apparently garbage, anyone have any ideas?

What are you all running for recce rifles?

Wanting to build a recce rifle, I would like to find a way to build a Geissele GFR, but as the only one available is ridiculously expensive, that’s not happening right now,. Just looking for some pictures and ideas. Probably gonna go through with my m27 into a recce if I can’t figure out how to make a GFR happen.

Mystery box SMG

Long story short, I got a mystery box from Evike and I’m not mad at it, not even a little. Double Eagle DRP-9. I’d be interested to know why they suddenly stopped production and moved to the DMP-9 with a polymer upper rather than metal, but this thing is fun!

I’ve added a few things here and there over the last couple of weeks. Shoots great, and it looks cool on its own!

Advice around springs

Hi everyone, apologies in advance if this is a long read, I’m relatively new to Airsoft playing my 3rd game this weekend, I’m currently using the Nurpol delta vanguard sentry completely stock besides a change in spring I’ve tried 3 different springs the factory M90 a M100 and a M95 and when chono’d im shooting hot in the cases of the M95 and M100 or under with the factory M90, for reference with the M100 I was shooting around 330 FPS but was getting around 1.40 J on .28bbs or on the M95 I was getting 1.25 J and still around the same FPS but with the factory M90 I was getting around 0.70-0.81 J or 240 to 250 I just want to be able to use my rifle in my games but I’m not sure where to go from here if possible I don’t want to use the factory spring as I feel it’s a little underpowered any advice would be much appreciated any numbers I have listed here are what I’ve been chrono’d at on a field or at my local shop. The springs haven’t been broken in yet as I brought the M95 today and haven’t used it besides it’s out of the box chrono the M100 hasn’t been used in a game either and has just been sitting in my rifle as well

Buying through usedairsoft.co.uk

I've been taking a look at the site, and found an offer I liked the look of. But then when I went to message the seller, the site informed me that the contact form is disabled.

However, there is a phone number for the seller listed. Is it really OK to just text them out of the blue about it, or should I just wait and see if the site gets its act together?

Anybody have any experience buying on there?

Simple Specna M4 upgrades

I was looking at trying to do a simple upgrade on my Specna Arms SA-E04 EDGE River Rock Arms. Was thinking about just the barrel and hop rubber. I don't really want to attempt opening up the gearbox etc as I don't have a spare to fall back on!

I was looking at getting this 285mm inner barrel (from a quick measure flash hider and outer barrel will still keep it covered):

https://www.ak2m4.co.uk/internal-parts/inner-barrels/xt-airsoft-603-inner-barrel

Edit: After a bit more research I realised a macron is probably more suitable for me then the MR hop:

Are these sensible enough upgrades, is there anything else worth doing that's easy?

Can I use a black AEG,because I bought it before two-tone came in?

Technically I could buy a two-tone and spray it, but that's not allowed. So that's not the issue.

So, what I'm asking is not about intent to bypass, it's just that I have what I have and I'm wondering if I can use it.

Cheers.

Looking for OTG eye protection that fits large glasses

Hey everyone!

I'm having a really hard time finding good eye protection that I can wear over my prescription glasses.

I can't wear contact lenses, and my prescription lenses would cost around €160 per lens, so that's unfortunately not an option for me right now.

I've found a few models that look promising, but I have no idea if my glasses will actually fit inside them.

My glasses are approximately 14 cm × 4.7 cm, so they're fairly large.

I'm currently looking at these:

  • Bollé Overlight Protective Glasses – Clear
  • Edge Tactical Super 64 OTG
  • OneTigris
  • Desert Locust Goggle 2
  • Begadi CP1
  • Wiley X Spear Dual – Grey/Clear/Rust, Matte Black Frame
  • Rothco ANSI Rated OTG Goggles

If you own any of these, could you please measure the usable internal space (especially the maximum width and height where the glasses sit)?

I'd also really appreciate your personal experience with them — comfort, fogging, whether they actually fit over large glasses, and how well they hold up for airsoft.

I'm specifically looking for something safe for airsoft, not just regular safety glasses.

Any recommendations for other models that might work would also be greatly appreciated!

Thanks!

Where could i get different style grips for the R9-4 pistol?

Between the regular R9 and the R9-4 grips. I prefer the thicker width of the R9 ones. However the design of the grip on the R9-4 leaves some dead space that the grips go over on the bottom end because the R9-4 has a more slender design rather then the curved back end on the R9.

Where could i get different grips thatll cover over the body of the R9-4 handle?

Beginner Questions re AEGs and Clothing to Exp Players

I’m starting to get into airsoft and will be looking to get my own AEG AR and core clothing/ gear. Would appreciate some current views from experience players.

1 - I’m looking at getting an EMG Noveske AEG (probably the 7.5 inch) but also considering the Cyma Noveske AEG. Is one substantially better than the other?

2 - for the core clothing such as trousers with knee pads, long sleeve top and chest rigs, where are the best shops to get reasonably priced but decent enough quality options?

3 - face pro - I’m thinking of pairing a One Tigris half mesh mask with Bolle goggles. Is this a good shout or should I research something else - I looked at NB Tactical stuff but shipping racks this up a bit for my first batch of stuff to try out.

Thanks in advance!

PSA: Check AliExpress before buying from “@smoil_reps”

Just a heads-up for anyone considering buying repro gear from @smoil_reps on insta.

I messaged the account asking about the Repro LV120 plate carrier he has listed on his account. I was quoted £100 all in, despite it not currently being in stock. I was told it would take around 2 weeks for him to get it and then send it to me.

I reverse image searched the photos he has on his insta and quickly found the same plate carrier for around £80 all in, with a quoted lead time of no more than around 2 weeks. I asked him directly whether it was the same product. He said it “very well could be”. I subsequently directly asked him if he orders from Aliexpress which he denied claiming he orders from a supplier “based in Taiwan”. When I asked who the supplier was, he wouldn’t disclose it (which is respectable, but paired with the identical images raised my suspicions).

To be clear, I’m not claiming he’s scamming anyone. But if you’re paying a ~£20 premium while still waiting as long, if not longer, as ordering an identical item yourself, I think buyers should know that before purchasing.

I’ve attached the conversation and comparison so that you guys can draw your own conclusions.

New player question about first game protection.

Hey, guys I'm looking to play my first airsoft game soon.So im looking for advice because I will be renting my stuff but I've seen people say some places give you a mesh eye protection and I'm not really comfortable with that so I was looking to get my own airsoft safety goggles, my own mask I was looking at either one that goes covers the ears or go for a ski mask that has the mask built in. And probably some gloves is there any benefit on full gloves or fingerless one, like fiddling with bits and pieces? Any advice would be great,

Also I'm in Harlow so I was either going to terminal six (Stansted) or awa herts (sawbridgeworth) any information about these places would be cool too. Thanks.

Does the pain of airsoft go away?

I played my first airsoft games at an indoor CQC/CQB field yesterday, and I noticed that around halfway through my second game and my entire third game, I was getting scared and was sticking around spawn, afraid to get shot. Can an experienced player tell me if the pain and fear go away after you play more frequently? Each game was about 10 minutes long by the way.
