No such thing. Ask away!

!nostupidquestions is a community dedicated to being helpful and answering each others' questions on various topics.

The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:

Rules (interactive)


Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.

All posts must be legitimate questions, and all post titles must include a question. Questions that are joke or trolling questions, memes, song lyrics as title, etc. are not allowed here. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.



Rule 2- Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.

Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.



Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.

Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.



Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.

That's it.



Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.

Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.



Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.

Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.

On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.

If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.



Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.

If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.

Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.



Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.



Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.

Let everyone have their own content.



Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here. This includes using AI responses and summaries.

I have a scope set up on this CYMA CM.401 airsoft MP5 replica. It's compatible with 11 mm rails by default, hence the adapter between the scope and the 22 mm MP5 rail.

I've lost one of the... "clamps"(?) for the adapter alongside the screw a few months ago in an airsoft match, and I thought that I'd get by with just one screw since "oh come on, it's just an airsoft gun", but it turns out that even on an airsoft gun the force from the electric motor is enough to throw the scope's aim off with only one screw.

I want to purchase a replacement "clamp" (and a screw if possible, but not necessary, since I can just borrow one from my red dot), but I don't even kinda know where to start looking for one. Can anyone help me out?

but I do like being able to fully collapse the stock

My stock is also foldable, actually! Emphasis on foldable, as yours looks to be actually collapsible.

If I can be a spoilsport, please, please don't use lasers

Very, VERY valid point, and yeah, I don't use my laser at all, really - it functions as tacticool decor more than anything else. I forgot to mention it's a laser+flashlight module, with a function to switch on either or both, and so I always basically use the flashlight and nothing else.

I saw the button to fold yours but didn't see a seam, so didn't know if it was just fixed with some cosmetics. I really like bringing the stock in both for close quarters and even for being in the woods to very easily get behind the scope while wearing a mask.

I have a friend who got an MP5K and it is even better in close quarters.
