Pearl's WA CQB-R review!

pearldrummer — Wed, 14 May 2008 07:49:39 GMT

I decided to go with this instead of the Systema PTW CQB-R simply because I love GBB guns (and I could afford it being half the price of a PTW)

At 9:14am this morning the Post man delivered a good sized express package in my name. I knew exactly what it was, it was my long awaited Western Arms CQB-R gas blowback rifle. After I signed for the package I immediately brought it to my kitchen table, opened my knife, and began opening the package. I opened the box to reveal another plain cardboard ...

lots of problems with my ksc g18c

wrxxx — Tue, 08 Apr 2008 07:31:45 GMT

sad that this is my first post

Ok ive had this glock 18c for about 2 months or so and im running into major problems.

It will not shoot or load another bb after the first is shot. it will fire again but not load another bb.....

if it happens to hit another bb the slide gets stopped and wont rack the other bb into the chamber...

and sometimes the slide doesnt go forward 100 percent. it takes me pushing on it a little bit to get the slide to move all the way forward in order ...

M11 ROF increase anyone?

pearldrummer — Fri, 29 Feb 2008 22:45:45 GMT

Hey guys,

I was in my room going through some boxes when I found my KSC M11A1 laying helplessly in the bottom of a box. I picked it up, field stripped it and cleaned up the dust that had accumulated on it. I had just recently worked on a real M11 and so I thought to myself "this thing looks basically the same as the real one..." so I then remembered that you can simply increase the ROF on the real one by adding what's called a "MAC-JAC" to the back of the lower receiver ...

Intro about me

emokid — Tue, 05 Feb 2008 03:42:28 GMT

Ok, well um here it goes.

I have been playing airsoft for a little over two years now. I have had three guns, first CA MP5 which died I dunno how many times, then I sold it. Now I have a KWA USP and a stock TM AK47. Late this year my AK will get an inokatsu AKM kit, real steel wood furniture, real scope, a pbs1 silencer, and a barrel.

I have other hobbies besides airsoft. I LOVE bettas, and I like to breed them. I don't buy those ones you see at walmart, I buy the ones that are show ...

How Do You Like Your Pistols : Stock or Upgraded, And Why?

Jin — Fri, 25 Jan 2008 14:06:14 GMT

I thought this might be an interesting poll to see how the members here like to keep their pistols. I know some people that keep all their guns stock, otheres that feel the need to upgrade everything, and others that only upgrade a select few.

But the real question here isn't whether or not you upgrade your guns, but why do you keep your guns the way you do?

Some people upgrade their guns because they just love to tinker with and tune them, others upgrade for a competitive edge or ...

Where to get replacement M9 mag catch?

ChrisNorth — Sun, 20 Jan 2008 02:37:44 GMT

Does anyone know which replacement mag catch would be best for a Marui copied 92 GBB? I'd also appreciate if you could tell me where I could get one, since a search through the sites I usually buy from didn't yield any results, so I thought I'd just ask here and tell a story.

Stupid thing wore out at the worst time. I was trying out one of those KWC regulators on it, and I was thinking the regulator was cranked up to high and shooting the mag out and light striking. I've turned it over, ...

help!: 5.1 mag not holding gas

mateba — Wed, 12 Dec 2007 20:56:44 GMT

This is my first post. My name is mateba and I have a TM 5.1 and love it.

I got it last Christmas. Great gun! Its just as accurate as a real one within 25ft.

The problem happens when I gas my mag. I use propane and green gas and it just leaks out a little after I start gassing. I have been told its my seals. I tried to lube them up but that didn't work. Any suggestions? Any mag disassembly guides?

Pistol Only Loadout Discussion

Romulus — Sun, 09 Dec 2007 05:10:16 GMT

I thought that I'd kick off a thread about what you normally carry when you run pistol only. Using a basic template would be nice so that it is easy to compare what people use.

Gun: I have a number of GBB's but I almost always use my upgraded TM Hi-Capa (w/4 mags) for skirmishing.

Gear: I like using pistols because they are casual common guns. Thus, I am not into collecting gear and uniforms. Rather I use street clothes and bags, pockets, pouches, etc which gives me more an operative/assassin/agent ...

Temperature question with GBBs.

Wege — Sat, 19 Jan 2008 21:24:36 GMT

What temperature do folks think is too hot for a stock airsoft gun.. heck.. even upgraded ones.

At a recent game or two here in NZ, the temperature was at least in the 30s (Celsius) and I found that a couple of the Marui guns felt as though they were cycling TOO fast. In one instance a 4.3 with an upgraded hammer spring, recoil spring and metal slide destroyed a part I have never heard of breaking - the piece that houses the hammer itself! Admittedly, the magazine had been left in the sun ...

my Gas CA M15-A4

hey guys, I painted my CA M15-A4 today and was wondering if I could get some constructive criticism from you guys. I would like your 100% truthful opinions on this thing.

This is a Co2 M15 with a custom tuned MadBull 470 gearbox. I have honed the trigger for a smoother pull, bored out all the valves (same way a high-flow valve works in the mag of a GBB) added a small lead weight to the back of the bolt for added recoil and lastly, I tapered the "cylinder". my barrel and hopup unit ...

Airsoft IPSC Interest in Northern CA

How to: install metal mag catcher in glocks (5 easy steps)

Admin — Wed, 09 Jan 2008 06:38:21 GMT

How to install metal mag catcher in Glocks

Unfortunately the KWA Glock 19 does not come with a metal mag catcher. Over time the plastic can wear out, especially if you have an extended mag. The mag may fall out and be damaged. The plastic one is fine for a while. But I would suggest people go out and buy a new mag catch eventually.

There are also a large number of different brands that carry these mag catches. I decided to buy the G&G mag catch. I bought it for $10 at Airsoft extreme ...

The PFI Smake cap silencer is looking sick. I might have to pick on up:

How much are you willing to spend on a Gas Pistol?

hkssr20det — Sun, 09 Dec 2007 14:30:17 GMT

This comes up often with me. People are always a little amazed at the cost of building guns to the level I like to. I think it is mostly that people are amazed that something so physically small can cost so much money.

To me the question of cost is irrelevant. A high quality, upgraded gun (AEG or otherwise) is going to cost a lot of money. Yes you can swap a spring in an AEG for cheap and now you have an "upgraded" gun, but you can do the same with a pistol. I have built an ...

Wanted: FTC Specter / Spectre M4

Installing a Docter Optic Replica on a KSC Glock 34?

It seems DEN's custom shop has pulled this off before, based on this pic...

but I'm not sure how to go about doing it myself.

Another One Bites The Dust(er gas)

Jin — Sat, 05 Jan 2008 01:49:13 GMT

Hey everyone!

Well... I'm Jin, and I am an obessive compulsive gas blowback addicted airsofter.

I've been into airsoft for about 3 years now and I spend most of my time on the MAA board, but I am on Arnies, ASF, and ASR as well.

Over the past 3 years I've owned about 60 or 70 different high end AEGs, GBBs, and spring rifles/shotguns. But for varying reasons (usually lack of money or wanting a different gun) I've sold every single one of the guns I've owned. I've learned a lot ...

How do you choose a GBB?

hkssr20det — Sun, 09 Dec 2007 14:27:09 GMT

So when it comes to choosing a new GBB what is more important to you?

Manufacturer

Style (Glock, Beretta, 1911, etc)

Store

The gas it can use

Available upgrades

FPS

Mag Capacity

I guess it would be better to rank the options above.

For myself, since I have a fair number of guns I tend to look at either Style (ie, I want to build a Glock) or Manufacturer first. I certainly have my favorite manufacturers and those I just don't like (not a huge fan of KWA/KSC).

PDI inner barrel with threaded attachment?

ChrisNorth — Thu, 03 Jan 2008 08:56:27 GMT

I was planning on getting a PGC slide for my Marui G17 sometime in the near future, but I'd also like to be able to attach a suppressor. Since I've heard good things about the outer barrel that comes with the metal slide set, and since I'd rather have a tight bore instead of just two outer barrels, I was thinking of getting this PDI tightbore with threaded attachment. Mainly what I want to know is whether or not attaching a silencer will affect accuracy or the slide's cycling at all. I was ...

Anyone else had problems with a sticky gas valve?

Has anyone else had problems with the gas release valve becoming sticky, and affecting operation of a GBB?

So far I've had it happen twice, and I was wondering if it was a common occurrence or just because I rarely remember to add oil to my propane before filling. It's an easy fix of course, but I was just wondering.

How to build your own functional silencer

PxRxSxRX — Thu, 20 Dec 2007 07:00:04 GMT

Okay, some information left out of my How-To that would be more specific to making it for airsoft rather than a paintball gun, or actual firearm would be the size of the inner hole in the washers, this should be slightly larger than ...

How-To: Removing the Orange Tip

Admin — Sat, 15 Dec 2007 05:44:42 GMT

How to Remove the Orange Tip:

Removing the orange tip off your airsoft replicas is fairly easy. If the orange tip is located on the slide of your GBB you can remove it using nail polish remover or paint thinner diluted in water. I am sure you can find it in somewhere in your house.

Should look something like this:

Start by disassembling the gun and taking off the slide. In this case I will be using a silencer I had laying around the house. You can see it's ugly orange tip!

For quite some time I have been looking for the perfect Hi-Capa 5.1 sight. I liked the stock Bomar for target shooting at ranges over 20m but I would always get frustrated with slow acquisition when I was in a close range skirmish environment (I run pistols only).
