How to Maintain and Clean a Pistol


Before handling an airsoft gun or real firearm... remember, and remind those around you

-Treat all guns as if they are loaded.

-Never let the muzzle cover anything you are not willing to destroy.

-Keep your finger off the trigger until your sights are on the target.

-Be sure of your target and what is beyond it.

Best grease/greases for gbbr

Hello! I am just getting my first gbbr and i read alot and found out you need good grease for it to operate properly, last longer and better performance. So i just need to know what is the best grease for what parts of the gbbr? Ive heard white lithium, tpfe, thick/thin silicone. And all in between on different parts. What should i use where?

And just to let you know, English is not my first language. If this was poorly written.

TAPP GHK AK EVO Adapter

Reworked to resemble the PP-19 Vityaz. And I know, Reddit hates the GHK AK, but just ask Tapp for the adapter for any other AK and I’m sure they’ll make it. EVO adapter also has the bolt stop feature.

Refurbish job.

Have an olllldddd WE k nighthawk custom gbb 1911, several thousand rounds thru it, has fairly bad hammer follow, and having valve spring return issues, would it be worth rebuilding this, and are internals still available? Or would it be better to shelf it and grab a new pistol? Probably looking at an entire gas system refurb and the entire firing mechanism.

King Arms 9mm TWS hopup and bucking Question

So I’m pretty unfamiliar with GBB hop ups and buckings but I was wondering if anyone knew of compatible hopup or buckings I could get. Struggling with a bit of accuracy at the moment.

Need advice on available options.

I am looking for a ZEV OZ9 and a M&P 2.0. I specifically want these as I carry an OZ9 and my M&P 2.0 10mm is my camping/hunting pistol and would like to have it as close to them in feel as possible as I’m very familiar with them.

Not super keen on the idea of spending hundreds on mags going forward, anyone with experience using an HPA adapter for a GHK platform?

I already have a tank from when I played paintball and it is laughably cheaper to get an adapter and a bunch of 30-50 round AEG mags. I was initially looking at a remag, but having lines to feed both bbs and air seems like it'd be very annoying.

Currently between at tapp and airtac, leaning towards airtac, but does anyone have experience with either or ideally both of these? The last post I see regarding these two is somewhat old and mentioned tapp making some changes to their system.

Reducing power output on M110A1

Hi all, I've recently bought a VFC M110A1 and am having an issue where the power output on even a half filled mag exceeds the UK limit of 1.88J as it will shoot at approx 2.05J (+/-0.2J Depending on how much gas in the mag) when using either ASG Ultrair 'players choice' or 'red' gas (0.36g BB used at all times). I'll admit that as this is my first GBBR I dont know the ins and outs of this sytem so I'm unsure of any reliable ways of reducing the power mechanically rather then only filling the mag for a second as this is not a reliable way to ensure I don't exceed the limit. Any advice or info on the system is greatly appreciated, Thanks.
