Is it at F&O Mate? If so I'll pop up and have a blat and bring up my toys even though I'm not "In the Club" with you lot.
(Just poped over to the Doughboys bit of the forum, It's at phoenix near mansfield)
At the training day I think we should have a range session, where people who attend can use all the US forces weapons, if their owners allow. I'll probably bring mine along so folk can familiarise themselves with the different types.
I'm up for bringing anything up to Phoenix woodland for you lot to have a blat, 8mm&6mm Carbine, what else you want to have a go on?
I have a Garand GBB, a Carbine, and an M3 I could bring.
I'm not "In the Club" with you lot.
That's sounds scarily like we're all either gay or with child... 
Well, If the cap fits mate 
I've got a thompson, high standard HDM, shotgun(winchester trench gun - but a spring version), and if it doesnt sell by then a springfield 1903 made from a chinese sniper I'd be happy for people to try out on a bend it mend it basis. we can set up a little shooting range and let people have a fire with the variety of guns. Might encourage a little more variety amongst the US side too 
though judging by this thread thats happening on its own
i'll put up an addition on the thread in the DB section now
Hi guys,
Regarding the two fill-valves on the m2 magazine, I have stripped my mag down and the rearmost valve does not appear to serve any purpose. The mag has only one gas chamber and both fill valves feed into it. You can fill the mag through either valve and the function and m.v. are the same . I have no idea why it is there.
Regarding the non functioning on semi-auto, this happens on a lot of these M2s. It is down to poor finish and fit of parts from the factory. Mine was repaired under warranty and I was told the problem is in the area of the fire selector mechanism. Mine has worked flawlessly since it was fixed and the fire select lever now has a positive detent when moved from full to semi and back again.
flatrajectory.
"REMEMBER, LIFE IS NOT A REHEARSAL"
From what I remember from the old 6mm M1 the two valves were part of some gas cylinder feed system (yes its that old). Not sure why they've kept it going for the newer versions but feasibly it could be for the same reason.
No longer involved in airsoft.
Barrie&annie, I'v just read a review of an M2 on http://www.ww2airsoft.com , and it describes exactly the problem josh told me about before you bought it, It was solved by taking off the woodwork and tightening up all the screws, apparently after that you have semi and full auto. Not the shims or reciever after all.
Hope that helps.
Looks like Marushin are releasing a 6mm GBB M1 in 2008 http://airsoft-news.eu/news.php
aye saw that. not sure if blk means blowback or black synth stock
will be interesting to see if they fix the semi problems they seem to be having on the current m1/m2 they have released. also interesting to see how the round capactiy gets affected by fitting the larger 2 valve gas system they have on the current bananna mags into a smaller m1 mag.
WPG have them in stock now, but they still use the Banana Mag
thats the current incarnation which is basically marushins current m2 minus the full auto and fire selector syd.
this new version is different. pictured with the smaller mag etc
that reminds me. anyone have the thread to hand about putting a m1 into a m1 folding stock? had it favourited i thought but cant seem to find it
Funnily enough, I thought that was what you were on about. basically an M2 with wood upper and semi only. So their is a 3rd Marushin M1 varient? M1(6&8mm) M2/M2 Export and this new M1. Strange. Rhyss, Cant find it but I know it's here some where, but the two places for stocks are
I'm looking for the links
Edit, I found it mate.

yep totally new version. cant see how they will fit 15+ rounds and the gas inside a m1 mag but should be interesting.
OOh, 6mm semi M1,
Dear santa, since I didnt get that 6' german sheperdess with big boobies, I reccon you owe me one M1 carbine in GBB
thanks syd i have the links for the stocks themselves but i remember a thread i think on the USA ww2 boards that showed how to fit a m1 carbine into a real steel m1 para stock.
incidentally that sportsmansguide place is in my wifes home state so may have to see if they can ship to me hehe
