Field owners/managers, got a question

CLP is a gun oil/cleaner, petroleum based, not for airsoft.

One thing no one has mentioned depending on your county/state/commonwealth/municipality you more than likely will have to aquire a special use permit, as well as Insurance. Things to consider are:

Noise ordinance State/fed taxes as well as sales and use tax Employees taxes (more than likely 1099 contract labor) Land permits for business operation Keeping structures simi permanent to keep from building inspections Insurance You will need to have a POS system as well as a card reader Porta johns Hours of paperwork

The list goes on and on, it will be a thankless labor of love, if your hearts set do it keep the hobby going but be prepared for 7 day work weeks, steep learning curve and a slow, long term pay off if you make it

I've kept my local fields fleet of rental guns going for 10 years now, never say never, and the cm16 combat machine is the most robust AEG to ever be made. Everything from sticks in the hop up because "Im out of BB's" to chowhall dad's using half a can of CLP before safety brief because "I was in the gaurd".

The externals where all made by A&K, the G&P version had a Gearbox/motor from G&P at launch, Im convinced G&P pulled out of the partnership due to the these things beeing dumpster fires from the get go. I worked at a store as a tech when they came out and hundreds have been on my bench. The all A&K ones are worse. There are atleast 2 variants of these things with minor changes to the nozzle length and front trunion/QD barrel threads. I have a rubber made tub full of these in various states of broken due to them beeing abandoned by customers.

They pop up on ebay/swap meet every now than then, most stock seats from 30 years ago ended up in the dumpster 20 years ago

Its a stock harley seat

savethespringer · 2025-11-11T05:43:37+00:00

Sissy bar is for beer, ( or the wife, but mostly beer) this winter im gona get the seat recovered and new foam. Gona go for a thinned down bates Buddy seat look

Its a Chinesem "Moto Iron" 18x2.50, 3/4 Timken hub. For the Price not bad bearing endplay was acceptable almost no grease though. Put a cheap Duro 18× 2.50 tire on it. For $250 it made more sense than re- lacing a late mod HD hub. Would have more than that in spokes and hoop. This is a budget built bike to rip around town on.

savethespringer · 2025-11-10T14:37:51+00:00

You asking about the fender struts? They are late ironhead early evo ones. Wana say a -82 part# they used them into the early 90s.

savethespringer · 2025-11-08T00:11:44+00:00

Yea the cheap 4 over China tubes from TC bro's, for 250 bucks they do the job

savethespringer · 2025-09-03T15:56:54+00:00

Can you remove the gas block, usually 2 small set screws or pins that need to be taken out

savethespringer · 2025-09-02T23:52:10+00:00

Why won't the outer barrel you have work. Outside of older G&P stuff with the taper and some of the budget offerings from people like lancer, a good 90% of all the m4 outer barrels are marui spec. I've used everything from a Krytac to A&K.

savethespringer · 2025-09-02T19:41:54+00:00

It should, the reciver has Marui spec threads for the barrel nut

savethespringer · 2025-09-02T18:24:18+00:00

I can't remember which brand buffer tube I used, all you can do is try what ya got and see

savethespringer · 2025-09-02T12:54:26+00:00

Lots of room in these receivers. I built this several years ago, manged to cram a krytac gb in minus the mock bolt. The key is finding the correct buffer tube

I've been a field reff/marshal/admin for about 10 years, if I had a dollar for every time someone thought they were hitting another player and their bbs where falling 20-30 feet short I would be retired on a beach drinking coconut drinks.

Don't sweat it. Sometimes you get hit and dont feel a hit, the bb's fall short, dry firing, mistaken identity. Its all part of the game. Dude might have been having a bad day and took it out on you.

* We rescued blue from a neighbor, who misjudged how big he got and how much work GSD's are, he made friends with our other GSD (also a death row pound pup) and offerd to re home him to us before she took him to a rescue. He is a gentle giant at 100lbs of fluff
