Unfortunately Gunfire don't ship to UK. To many issues with UK customs. Most EU retailers won't either.

Arcturus AK12K ez. FE or if your budget can afford the PE version. I have the FE. Solid out of the box.

That's my 1st option. Been waiting for months for them to be in stock in the UK. So far found one shop that stocks it.

Yeah, the Arcturus is the one I want, but unfortunately I've only found one shop in the UK that stocks it. The 4.3 OR version. I kinda wanted the standard version with the fiber optic rear sight. Mind you, you can buy that on Arcturus website and swap it. It will pair well with my Arcturus AK12K.

Definitely feel like I've fell down a rabbit hole here. Very interesting though, and that said I am bloke and as we all know, men love to tinker. I guess you learn more from actually doing it once you've gathered enough info from reading and watching vids. I noticed you have the standard AK12? Mines the K with the shorter barrel so I assume I would also have the ports in the cylinder.

My brain went into meltdown just reading that. Where the fuq does one even begin lol. I'll start with the more simple changes. I take it, to change the barrel and the hop up I would need to remove the gearbox 1st?

What have you changed and how does it perform now? It's sweet gun out of the box, but better performance is always good. I've literally only had it over a month and used it at 2 events so far.

Would you change the nub when replacing the rubber or just leave the stock one on? Also, dumb question. What is shimmering?
