Yes, I can totally relate to your situation when I was in the same boat back in the day!
More blasters than could poke a stick at where many were just piled up in big heaps in the corners of the spare room for no reason other than building up the collection.
So wish to have that life again, but it is what it is and am very grateful to have been part of it
Ah, you guys are very generousā¦ paying it forward is a great way to score karma points. Thatās what I love about this forumā¦ the sense of community.
I have a feeling that some of you old guard members that fixed, modded and generally created unique blasters back in the day have a lot of things kicking around that would be considered pretty desirable these daysā¦
Funny how everything old becomes new againā¦ Iām still getting over watching gushing US reviews of the old JM stuff on Youtube.
I thought it was just me that drooled over the old shit
I like to see what it would be like after Mutha modified itā¦ triple nuclear reactors, drum mags in the missile bays, sharks with fricken laser beams strapped to their headsā¦
Are you going the carry handle and front triangle site?
Great to meet you mate, sorry if I was a bit all over the place and incoherent
Dosed up and all thatš¤£
Looking forward to get on the field with our old tech. and show them how us old boys can take em outš
Really was a no brainer to help a fellow forum member at all, as I said if you need anything give me a yellš
Iāve probably got it somewhere in all my crapš¤Ŗ
Clearly you havenāt spent enough time around Cabo train station, mateyā¦ theyāre like squirrels on speed up there
@Bigmuthadrums Yep, Iām running a larger diameter sleeve over the outer barrel atm, for the DMR look, moot now with the SCAR H filling that role. Iāll end up going back to the carry handle, standard OB and triangle front sight when the 10" handguard comes inā¦ definitely be a more classic look with that old school GL fitted up.
Thanks again, Muthaā¦ awesome stuff, youāre a legend.
Hope you start feeling better soon, hey?
No, you are certainly not alone there!
I love the basic old fashioned designs of the early days, before things got much more technical and complicated.
Itās always a great thing that technology evolves over time into better and better products, but like my life of building/working on Hot Rods and Classic Muscle Carsā¦ā¦ sometimes the old fashioned basic simplicity is an absolute gem in a world of overcomplicated/complexed engineering.
Question about the old Bing Feng M203 grenade launchersā¦
When they first came out one of the problems was zero power, gels falling out or exploding out of the barrel. I recently got a spanking new one in the mail (thanks to @DocBob ) and it appears they were made with 9-11mm gels in mind. That would explain the inefficiency.
Has anyone ever tried these with the larger gels? I was going to gut and refit internals to suit 8mm gels but maybe notā¦
Ordered a couple of packetsā¦ I canāt begin to imagine how the flight characteristics are for a gel that big and soft, but I guess Iāll be finding out.
