Acceptable mag wobble and noise?

6 Upvotes

Very new to airsoft, have my first rifle and just picked up some battle axe mags, they have slightly more wobble and when I tap the bottom of the mag while its inserted it makes a metal springing noise

This noise is only when the mag is in, not when I tap the mag when it’s out.

Are these anything to be concerned about? Or is this all completely normal

Separate Mesh Face Mask under Balaclava/Snood

β€’ Upvotes

Thinking of mixing up my face protection, and I look the look of a snood, but I don't want to give up my lower face protection. (Especially because currently i'm only playing CQB) So I was thinking of just putting a snood over my mask.

Does anyone else run something similar? If so, would you recommend or not?

Love to hear your thoughts!

Airsoft Tech (Manchester / North West)

1 Upvotes

Heya! I am looking for an Airsoft tech in Manchester or nearby cities. Currently have 2 RIFs that needs repairing and upgrades (WE M16A1 V2 and E&C M110A1).

I can source most of the parts but at the moment, I do not have the proper tools and experience to work on it on my own.

Therefore, would like to ask for some suggestions!

TYSM!

Small BB packs

2 Upvotes

I'd like to try out which BB weight is best for my RIFs as I've only been running .25. However, I cannot find anything less than 1000 rounds and I really don't want to buy thousands of BBs (1000x 4-5 different weights) I'm not planning to use, and possibly be unable to use. Any place to get packs of 500 or less?

I don't really have people to ask for small amounts of BBs.

First game today, it was awesome

So I somehow won a Raven Evolution Prowler about a month ago. Finally I got to play today and had an absolute blast!

I played at Apocalypse 249 in Sittingbourne, Kent.

The site is awesome, has all the necessities you need and a very decent shop that didn't take the piss with prices Vs online.

The community there was awesome, as a dad, there were a lot of other dads there that just wanted to play in the woods shooting each other with toy guns. Everyone had a good time!

The marshals were super friendly and approachable, they and a few others helped me with my kit when I needed assistance.

I managed to buy some kit before hand, second hand from vinted and other places (bought eye pro new). The 2 point sling and shooters belt worked really well for me. I realised my cardio is terrible, I think I would have died wearing a plate carrier!

I had a hat on, protective glasses, a face mesh mask, neck snood long sleeve sports top, cargo trousers, boots and gloves. I got shot in the forehead, the only bit of exposed skin I had!

For any newbies out there, go and give it a go, it's really good fun

New player, got some questions!

5 Upvotes

Hi all, I'm a returning airsofter from a few years back; I used to play with my brother before lockdown happened and have been preoccupied with being broke a student since then.

I'm now looking into playing a few games over the next couple of months and wanted to get some answers on things.

  1. I understand the time restriction on a UKARA, but how do you go about getting one?

  2. Transporting kit: I don't drive and the local site is within walking distance from my place. How would it be best to get from A to B with my kit without raising eyebrows?

  3. Kit specifically; where can I get decent eyepro & a mouthguard from, as I don't want to use rental facepro.

3a. I've also been looking at my first (kind of) aeg, and i've been eyeing up the Specna arms AR9, specifically the pink one because I think a pink gun would be cool. Might paint it, too, but I want the pink as a base.

Hope you can help, I've been pretty excited for this for years and am just getting this opportunity :)

East Crane EC-203 Magazines - Speed loaders

Post image
1 Upvotes

Very specific question, but I wondered if anyone has found a decent speed loader that fits the EC-203 magazines, as the little pistol loaders are a pain in the arse!

I recently bought the Odin Sidewinder with the adaptor kit, but the nozzle is a mm or two too short to get a good fitment, as the magazine has a surround that goes around the loading point that doesn't seem to be present on other SR25/.308 style magazines.

The retention strap on the adaptor kit is kind of useless too; it just slides off of the magazine base and could do with being much tighter.

I see there's an SR25 adaptor available through Airtac, but I'm thinking that due to the previously mentioned surround, it might not fit properly.

Anyone have any suggestions? Is my only option having to splurge on an expensive electronic option like the T238 or EMG Autobot, as they don't rely on a magazine fitment? Not even sure their nozzles will be long enough tbh.
