Title says it all. I am having trouble fitting some brands of magazines, so ONLY MAG mids will be considered.

In sniper rifles this is known as 'slam firing'. Open up the bolt and look for irregular wear on the piston. Most likely your piston has simply been worn down so much it can't handle the stress any longer. If your sears were the problem it wouldn't even lock back although I'd recommend replacing them with a steel set any way (it takes VSR style). The hop up unit is also VSR style.

Here is a link to upgrade parts for the M28 and no the color of the pistons is irrelevant unless you're creating two seperate bolts for two different fps setups which makes the colored piston a helpful spot check: http://shop.ehobbyasia.com/catalogsearc ... +&x=10&y=8

The m28 is NOT crap, its just a plastic piston in a sniper rifle and pot metal sears can only take so much stress. Beyond the sears, piston, and spring guide, there is nothing I'd personally consider replacing on the gun. (I know people have troubles with the magazines, but this is because of them not aligning the body screws correctly).

Hope that helped?

P.S. Damn! Those full cylinder setups are CHEAP!

Thank you. The fade and rip factors were what I was mainly concerned about. Both sets of mine and my brother's old Tru Specs faded really quickly. The new ones seem to be doing fine, however my brother's ripped at the crotch... :shock:

P.S. Does anyone know where I can get tops and bottoms in Multicam for cheap? I'd actually prefer BDU style rather than ACU as I'm not a fan of velcro or zippers.

I'm just not a fan of the new trend with aluminum barrels. I tried madbull, didn't like it, and have since been sticking with CA and Prometheus stainless steel barrels.

I just don't like the idea of an aluminum barrel since its more likely to be worn, warped, bent, etc. than a brass or steel barrel. Just my personal preference, not forcing it on anyone.  :mrgreen:

Us Sunday people usually start at 7 or 8a.m. and play till' 11 or 12 depending on weather. In the cooler months we start as late as 9 or 10a.m.

Also, I highly recommend against sniping. I've tried it and its just too small of a field with too much going on to make it worth while. DMRs do work well and I frequently use my KJW 1911 in the brush and get a lot of kills with it.

And to answer the off-road question, if you take the correct entrance and are smart, you'll be fine.

My number is 602-820-4972 (message or call) or you can PM to see if there's a Sunday game going on. I'm in contact with the majority of the Sunday Players. Also, these games are very laid back. I do not recommend coming looking for anything other than some easy-going friendly airsoft with lots of people using hicaps and not many scenarios other than team death match/slayer with one respawn. There are no bunker rules, however most of us don't spawn kill and will call out if bunkered.

Numbers vary from 10 to as many as 25 with usually 15 being the typical number of people on Sundays at least. The field plays best with about 16 people, less than ten or more than 20 and it gets too crazy. Both the Saturday and Sunday groups are fun and we all know each other. You'll feel very welcome.  :mrgreen:

We also usually have a good amount of Helmet Cam Videos and High Quality Photos if my cousin and I remember to bring our cameras. We can burn CDs/upload photos/etc. on request.

P.S. If someone could PM me numbers for the Saturday games I'd appreciate it. I didn't know you guys played that frequently and sometimes my work schedule would make Saturday games more preferable.

I've been working on AEGs for about six years now and not once have I seen a need for a fuse. Typically they die after a part is broken, for no apparent reason, or they don't even blow and you're still back at square one.

As for the car analogy, I fail to see your point. Now if I was going into the field without bringing a spare AEG/cleaning rod/etc. on hand in case my primary went down, then yes I could see how the tire analogy might apply.

Now if you're running some sort of expensive MOSFET or other electronic components in your AEG, then yes, I could see the need. Beyond that, no I refuse to waste money on them.

I'm attempting to slowly turn my rag-tag group of Sunday airsofters into a team and my first step is switching from MARPAT to Multicam and making M4 mags both standards for the team. During this phase I'll also attempt to organize them into an assault team, fire team, weapons team, and sniper/recon team. Also I use an L85A2 and since the British version of multicam hasn't hit the market, this is as close as I'll get.

Anyway, my questions about multicam are as follows.

Is there a certain disdain/stigma associated with these?

Are these allowed at most if not all games as an acceptable uniform?

Does Multicam work in super green environments such as Michigan? (I go there ever summer and its important that these at least work).

Have you ever personally had an experience with multicam that made you feel its was a useless pattern?

If we purchase these, what brand should be go with and where might I locate them for a good price online?

If you have any other information to provide in regards to multicam I'd appreciate it. Most of the hits on google have made me feel as though this is a working camouflage in enviroments in Arizona as well as Michigan, however I know cameras just don't work the same as the human eye.

Ditto, being non-competitive and more towards mil-sim is why I play airsoft. The equipment is just an added bonus. But hey, if that's what you guys like, then go for it. Just means more public and therefore market focus on airsoft in the good kind of way.
