This is a signal boost on a situation you may already have heard of. Chuck from Shadow Viper Airsoft Team just recently achieved his long term goal of opening his own airsoft shop. No more than a few months in, his shop was broken into and ransacked. The first time, only a few items were taken. Over the Christmas weekend, it was hit again and completely gutted. All of his hard work over 16 years is now gone. His shop is closed indefinitely until either his merchandise and personal gear is returned, or he somehow restocks enough to reopen.

I'd like to let all members reading this to please reach out to Chuck on facebook. You can reach him here: https://www.facebook.com/shadowviperairsoftrepairs/

This isn't some small heist. This was this man's passion and his dream. To have it defiled and disgraced by lowlife scum is infuriating. I pray that when these individuals are caught, they too learn what having one's dreams taken from them is like while they serve their sentence.

If you are responsible and you are reading this, I pray your future cellmate is not kind and gives you a hands on lesson in the definition of regret.

Thanks for stopping by!

What I am looking for is a tan SCAR. I am not looking for any internals (ie. inner barrel, gearbox, battery, hop-up, motor). I would like to keep all other functioning parts (trigger, mag release, charging handle, etc).

This gun does not have to be new.

I am willing to pay a fair price, but nothing over $75.oo.

This will be used as a prop. If possible, I would also like to purchase a straight (Vietnam-style) magazine for the rifle. Just one will suffice.

Please PM me with an image or offer and we can negotiate.

I don't believe the community has an outlet for a thing like this, but I did notice we had some avid gamers on this site. I love music and I’m a huge fan of most score composers and video game music. I listen to just about every genre, and love music in general. I’m always searching for new sounds and new talent to add to my collection. What I want to do with this thread is allow people to post and plug away some unique gems of talent they may have stumbled across. If we could establish some form of format for the posts would be great. Something like the one below:

Name of Band/Artist: Riley Marengo
Type of Sound: Video Game Chip-Tunes
Sounds Like: The Music Scores to Golden Sun, Old Final Fantasy Titles, Castlevania Titles, Phantasy Star Titles, ChronoTrigger, and Epic Adventure games on old systems.
Where to Listen: SoundCloud
Where to Buy/Download: SoundCloud

I figure this is a good way to share community tastes in music and get some publicity for those smaller groups. For the guy listed above, I strongly believe he needs a position with either a major handheld platform or rising mobile gaming company. His Chip-Tunes are great and they bring me back to some of the classic greats.

I look forward to what others in the community have to share.

I'm a proud owner if a new (somewhat) L96 Springer Rifle. Previous owner states current FPS of 410 w/ .40g King Arms BBs. (That's 580 w/.2g or 520 w/.25). He stated it has a metal piston and spring guide. It sports a threaded adapter for 14mm counterclockwise, but stock barrel. I will have a 6.03mm tight-bore in it shortly which will run to the tip of the adapter. Since this is previously owned with a history, I assume the trigger sear is a higher quality to handle that spring tension, but I read that component will commonly break with use regardless. I would like to purchase a mock suppressor/flash hider, but only for aesthetic purposes - something short. I plan to make my own barrel spacers out of wrapped tape to stabilize the inner barrel and I am contemplating filling the stock with an insulation compound to dampen sound (past forums suggest expanding foam, but I'm thinking some packing foam cut to fit would also work with less mess).

This thread is to get an opinion on some of the modifications and upgrades I should be making to get optimum performance and reliability out of it. Since some of the threads I've already read are several years old, I'd like to revive the subject for new ideas and current mods/upgrades.

What other suggestions and ideas do the rest of you have?

[Edit]: I also need a suggestion for an outer barrel that has some play in rotation. I'd like to avoid taping it to the stock (as seen in Battlefield 3), or gluing it in place. I'd like the impact to take-down to be minimal.

I have never been a fan of the 1911, glocks, or M9 pistols. I own a Sig P229 and I used to own a live fire xDM, but I'm trying to find a nice GBB that's a little more unique and preferably with a threaded barrel. I doubt I'll use a suppressor often, but the option would be nice. I would like to see muzzle velocity at or around high 200's or low 300's. I've taken a fancy to the HK line up when I was shopping for real steel and I enjoyed shooting a buddy's live fire CZ75, but I am still too new to know what brands make the most reliable models of (insert gun here).

So if anyone wants to show some gun love and let me know what you recommend and why, I would appreciate it greatly.

Since Moose is away on an event, here goes nothing:

Come out and sling some CQB plastic. A little short notice since it will be open from 2-8pm. If you have your Friday receipt, it's free. Otherwise $26.50 for all day field rental. Located on McClintock and Apache. Real laid back, lowest overall CQB in the valley.

350 fps w/ .20 semi-only
Full face protection required

See you there.

Hey Soldiers,

I'm low on cash and need a quick turn around for some bills. I'm posting in other items since I already have a sales thread and the air soft items are nothing too noteworthy. I will accept trades, cash is king.

Please PM me your offers and Post "PM'd" to help refresh the thread and keep track of interested parties. I can give out my number or email from there if preferred.
