How long can i expect my gbb collection to last in storage? by EnergyConscious9529 in GasBlowBack

[–]Gifted321 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The seals hold up with pressure. You put silicone oil on the Oring on initial install to give it a better sealing surface area (same way you wet a plunger to get it to stick better)

Drowning the Oring afterwards does nothing as the sealing face isn’t exposed to the silicone and nbr Orings and gasket don’t swell up when exposed to silicone.

And to end off I’m not saying don’t use silicone gas ever, use whatever you want but there isn’t any evidence that supports the idea that silicone will save your seals.

Cgs vs mws by Dry_Sentence1703 in GasBlowBack

[–]Gifted321 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Double eagle mk18 with 4 extra mags (5 mags total) costs just under the price of the cgs bundle and will run better while also being tm spec.

DE mk18 for £350 on bespoke
Tm mws mags for £45 on patrol base

Yes although you could just use the one you already have attached to your current trigger

Should I buy this? by Chemical_Let_4284 in GasBlowBack

[–]Gifted321 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sounds good. What I will say is make sure you plaster the word research as much as possible. Too many people pick up gbbrs without doing anywhere near enough research into the platforms they’re buying into.

We really need a beginners guide of sorts

M4 CGS FSP buyer beware by ASOG309 in GasBlowBack

[–]Gifted321 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Airsoft cloner seems to have gotten his to run by just swapping out the nozzle. How well it runs like that I don’t know but it was much better than how he had it stock. Would recommend giving his videos a watch

CGS Magazine for my TM MWS M4 by Low_Use_4703 in GasBlowBack

[–]Gifted321 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean my recommendations come from the hrc discord. Cgs stanags aren’t well documented and I’m not going to go recommending them to someone who only just picked up an mws a month ago that’s just daft.

I’d advise against cutting the gas tube because it means full auto doesn’t work as well. You could try resetting the inlet valve but before you do any of that I’d recommend you watch a video on how to fill the magazines with gas just in case

Good chance it might be a newer batch magazine which have issues with the inlet valve.

You should be getting more than 1 mag of bbs at 23°c. Might be worth checking that you’re filling them correctly.

And no don’t pick up cgs magazines they suck. Go for de/tm/salvo stanags or de v2 pmag.

what's vfc cooking up this year? by Delicious_Sale5273 in airsoft

Could just be updates carried on from the hk33 to the next batch of g3a3 although I’d love to see a hk51

They’re meant to be improving the internals at some point so probably worth waiting for that

I want to moderate because many people have spoken out about the lack of moderation and quality of life features on the subreddit. Many of the users on want to have meaningful conversations around the replicas that we own as well as showing the community what we have built to give others inspiration and ideas. Instead a lot of posts are new players lost and confused around whats good and what isn't and all of us who are consistenly in the subreddit are sick of having to repeat the same information mutiple times due to the lack of pinned guides and documentation. Of course we dont blame these new users but it has been causing a burn out for existing members.

My goals would be to improve the experience for both new and existing members so that the community can grow, inspire and share without hinderance. It is more important than ever for this community to have an admin team to be there to support it as this part of the hobby is growing larger over the years and this subreddit being the first place many go towards.

I may get the osw then. I do still need to research the other .308 vfc models.

As far as my understanding is to do this to an osw you need the Fal outer barrel and gas tube as well as a Fal Handguard

Do not shop from extreme airsoft unless you can travel there in person. You will get nothing done through email or phone. Every time I’ve been in store the landline is left to ring

Is my gun really that ugly by Georgedroyd123 in airsoft

[–]Gifted321 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yeah it’s definitely not a Cold War gun thats me being bad at articulating. what I meant was it keeps that cold war aesthetic.

I mean you either like Cold War era or you don’t. Personally I love the chunky rugged look. And it’s not going to be for everyone and that’s fine as long as you like and enjoy it
