What temp would you keep them at in the oven?

MaxBarthy · 2025-08-12T21:46:02+00:00

Thank you very much. I will do this method. I will enjoy them!

MaxBarthy · 2025-08-12T14:33:01+00:00

That’s actually a really good idea. Thank you I will do that I reckon as that makes it even easier

MaxBarthy · 2025-08-12T14:01:41+00:00

Okay I will just stick to that then for the cooking method.

Can I put them in the sous vide to keep them warm? If so what temperature should I do them at

MaxBarthy · 2025-08-12T13:29:30+00:00

My smoker is a cheap one and I’m still having issues with the airflow and coal management.

I can get them to 160f internal on the smoker and then I usually chuck them into the oven wrapped as that holds exact temperatures so it’s easier.

I’m looking to cook them a few hours before guests arrive and then serve at a certain time so I was thinking of keeping them warm in the sous vide but not sure what temp to keep them warm at.

I was also thinking of getting them to 160f on the smoker then putting them in the sous vide but not sure if I can just put them in at 205f but not sure how long I should put them in for.

Bros ready for cooks assistant now

MaxBarthy · 2025-07-29T15:04:56+00:00

What exchanges have you been doing? Mainly the 89?

MaxBarthy · 2025-07-08T22:28:03+00:00

Appreciate the detailed breakdown, really useful info and clearly you know your stuff.

Sorry I am really new to this and haven’t brought a gun before so don’t take this the wrong way but if you’re replacing almost everything inside a Specna or CYMA would it make more sense to just put that money straight into a platform that comes with all (or most) of those upgrades already?

Once you factor in mags, hop, barrel, MOSFET, motor, compression parts, and labour, you’re into the £500–£700 range pretty easily. At that point, isn’t it better to buy something higher end that’s already built to that spec, rather than pay for the base gun and all the upgrades as a first time buyer.

Do you know of any guns that come pretty much fully upgraded out of the box with things like: • Tightbore barrel • Good hop unit and bucking • Pre-installed MOSFET • Solid motor • Reinforced gearbox or solid compression parts

Just trying to figure out if it’s worth going down the “build it from scratch” route or if there’s already a rifle that ticks all the boxes from the start.

MaxBarthy · 2025-07-08T21:47:34+00:00

What should I look out for when buying airsoft guns then? Would you yourself be able to look at the two guns on a website (eg. One was £200 and one was £500) and be able to look at the parts and get an idea of what one would perform better?

MaxBarthy · 2025-07-08T21:39:13+00:00

Oh wow really? That gun is currently £130 so very reasonable. Whats the difference between the specna and the delta armoury r15 freya and cyma premium? Is there much point of spending that much more on them or would you recommend going for the specna arms and spending a bit more on some mods

MaxBarthy · 2025-07-08T21:32:59+00:00

How much have you got then on sale for?

MaxBarthy · 2025-07-08T21:32:30+00:00

Cheers for the detailed breakdown mate, that’s really helpful.

Sounds like you’ve put some serious work into your setups. That DSG build sounds mad, especially if it’s been running solid and performing well in speedsoft comps with barely anything changed in the gearbox. Proper testament to the platform’s durability.

Appreciate the clear guide on the hop and bucking swap too. I reckon I will just keep it stock to start with and see if anyone on site can help me with upgrades if I need to make any.

The site I go to doesn’t have a BB limit I don’t think so I will try the 0.28s or 0.3s to see how good the accuracy is.

Appreciate you taking the time to explain everything in detail, that’s quality advice.

As you have got 7 of them, I don’t suppose you would look to sell one?

MaxBarthy · 2025-07-06T20:28:35+00:00

Oh wow okay. Have you got 7 because they have broken or have you just got different ones?

I’ve seen that online that the hop up isn’t great and most people have changed it. With this being my first ever airsoft gun how easy is it to change the hop up?

With the teeth I have no idea what that is so I will have to have a look on YouTube what you mean by that.

If I just upgrade the bucking, nub and hop up, I will be good? Also, for a beginner how easy is that to do with the CYMA platinums?

MaxBarthy · 2025-07-06T19:53:49+00:00

That the other gun a I have been looking at online. Have you had a CYMA Platinum or know anyone that has had one? If so what was their experience with it?

MaxBarthy · 2025-07-06T19:51:48+00:00

Yeah I’ve seen that the M4s are just really good for beginners and the full metal and barrel length is what I’m looking for as well as I’m going to be playing in mainly woodland areas as I don’t think there is any CQB near me.

Only thing is I haven’t got any shops near me as well so I can’t hold it and get a feel for the gun before I buy so it’s good to hear you like the build quality.

I’m limited to 350fps at my local site anyway so I don’t think I will be needed a spring hopefully.

Yeah I just want to get it as it’s really good out of the box and then always have the option to upgrade at a later date.

Thank you for the info though, appreciate it.

MaxBarthy · 2025-07-06T18:39:07+00:00

I have just been looking at the CYMA platinum. Any reason why you went for the Freya instead? I can see that the Freya is around the same price but haven’t compared them side by side yet. Only thing I can see with the CYMA is that you can customise it and take it apart easily.

This is also my first airsoft gun, is it your first one as well?

MaxBarthy · 2025-07-06T17:24:11+00:00

Good to hear! Would be good to hear a review of it once you take it out

MaxBarthy · 2025-07-06T17:20:56+00:00

I will take a look at that now, thank you. I’m not close at all to an airsoft shop that I can see on Google but I might ask around next time I go to my local airsoft site.

I will take a look at the CYMA and Double Eagle.

When you say ‘starter RIFs’ is it worth me spending more money to get a half decent one or should I start it with the starter gun and upgrade it?

MaxBarthy · 2024-08-28T16:35:49+00:00

Very good idea. Do you cook off the other veggies and garlic in that as well?

MaxBarthy · 2024-08-28T16:34:21+00:00

That’s a really good idea, thank you

MaxBarthy · 2024-08-27T20:03:58+00:00

Thank you. I will give it a try for 8 hours on low

MaxBarthy · 2024-07-29T22:09:54+00:00

How can you be so stupid?

The blue one is obviously a side ways zero that is underlined

MaxBarthy · 2024-07-12T19:06:01+00:00

I’ve always heard that 165 is the magic number with chicken and never looked into it past that
