There were different scope models - do some google and wikipedia research on the "ZF4" and "ZF41" scopes. That should sort out the...
The M14 is closer to the M1 Garand (in terms of conversions), but I'm sure you know that. If you are looking for an M1 Carbine to act as "donor&...
The springer idea, using compressed air, might be easier to achieve with the CO2 or HPA tank from a paintball marker. Put the tank in a nearby "a...
i think part of the reliability issue with vsr based gun's is they are all based on the TM design and they limit their power to around 280fps[...] My...
This thread is turning into a checklist for a rifles-only game, innit?
A rubber bayonet and two steel balls might be a better choice for a paratrooper.
Funny you should mention that, I was just pondering the possibility of mounting a 4x long-relief scope on my ZB26...
K98 springer running on exactly 500FPS with a 0.20g (which is the South African FPS limit for bolt-action rifles). I use it at all WW2 games, and at m...
The WinGun Model 731 revolver is quite similar to the S&W M10, except for the barrel being only 2.5"... Also, running on CO2, I'm not sure wh...
Sorry, my previous post was done with more irritation than good intention in mind. My hackles just rise when this type of willful refusal of evidence/...

As with any re-enactment, find some period photos to back it up, and folks will be more likely to agree with it. Personally, it sounds a bit too "...
What gets to me is when people do the bare minimum in order to fit it. They hear about the games, and how much fun they are, and they want to join in ...
MG08/15 was something like 20kg without ammo - guaranteed to put hair on your chest!
Managed to fix the magazine leak! (for now) Instead of going the gasket maker route, I took plumbing tape and wrapped it over the o-rings once they ha...
The bolt seal on mine also went, but because it fell out during use and got ripped as I worked the bolt. Odd feeling of deja vu... Tried to take ap...
When you say the nose cap was glued on, what exactly do you mean there? Are you referring to the orange paint that Evike puts on their rifles? Haven'...
Took out the fill- and plunger valves, covered the threads in plumber tape and silicone grease, then reinserted them. The spit test now shows no leaks...
Nice kit, but it reminds me a bit of Leibermuster: too late-war to really fit in with the "we portray the norm" rule for re-enactors (unless...
