Mk23 Wooden Carbine – Take 2

Possibly cut hole for shell ejection port or attach aesthetic dust cover?

Gear Overview

CM041G – First Impressions in Inferno

Performs great in game. The shots are nice and consistent and they shoot straight. Definitely gives a great sense of confidence. I just took it out for a half day’s gaming in Inferno in Thomondstown. Content to use it as my main for the foreseeable. I used the pouches on my belt only. Partly because

Cyma CM041G – New Gun!

This will likely be the last new gun I will be getting for a while. I got it from Taiwangun.com for around €230 and with a pair of dual pane goggles (which apparently reduce the temperature differential to avoid fog), some mags and pouches all in all came to about €300. So yeah, hopefully this

AK Perpetual feeding issues

Everything was cycling properly but almost no air was being moved. “Your nozzle is moving freelyGuess your cylinder is upside down with the hole facing the cylinder head” I’m not entirely sure what that means but there was more. “Could be an o ring gone. Happened to me recently.” “Yeah mine had dried out pretty

AK Feed Issues

So after sorting the barrel on my AK, I had been having feeding issues with BBs not going through. Picture 1. below is what it looked like when I took the gun apart. I took out the inner barrel, removed the hopup rubber and re-set the nub. Putting it all back together was Picture 2.

Noodlefish (almost there)

I managed to get an STL file to 3D print a connector from the flash hider to the outer barrel. I had been prepared to just epoxy it on but given the option I would prefer to do it another way. I did find one for about £12 in the UK but between delivery and

AK Barrel Finishing

I raised the matter of cutting the barrel on an Airsoft chat which I am on and they recommended using a pipe cutter. The only pipe cutter’s I had used were very hefty things for large guage pipes (like 60mm pipe). Apparently there are smaller ones which work for Airsoft barrels. I managed to pick

Noodlefish Mod is Back!

I hadn’t taken pictures going through as I was really just going on a whim and didn’t think it would come to anything. I have had an issue with my AK for a while where the shots are veering off to the left. I can adapt for this so never bothered doing anything about it.

WeaponLink Finishing

I am keen to try the WeaponLink in the field. I am going to have to finish attaching it to the Cyma AK. As I mentioned in the previous post, I could only use one of the existing screws for the rail. I will have to drill a hole in the body of the AK.

Noodlefish Mod

The first AEG I bought was an ASG Steyr Aug A1. It was a bit on the old side when I got it second hand. I don’t use it much for ergonomic reasons so I decided to have a crack at modifying it in a similar fashion as one Novritch did to his. So far

Weapon Link Retention Mount

I will likely have a lot to say about this going forward. One of the things that has hindered me is the AK flapping about when I’m running. The weight is fine. In theory at least, if the side of the AK is attached to my belt it should stay in place. That’s where the

Out with the old and in with the new

I have decided to start writing some of this down. I think that I have been doing airsoft now for about 2 years. I am getting more into the game and have serious notions that there may be some beneficial effects from Airsoft in terms of mental health. And physical health I suppose. General Loadout:
