North West Custom Parts, I will note that the payment process is a little odd. You add to your cart, complete the order and then do a bank transfer to the chap that runs the shop. I was cautious at first but I've ordered a few stocks from him and they've all arrived in good time.
Edit: For clarity, the stock was from NWCP, the extended buttpad and PTS grip from Firesupport and the sling and magpuls from Tactical Kit.

Yessir. In the grand scheme of stocks there are ones I definitely prefer over the CTR (BCM Gunfighter and B5 Systems), but it seems hard to beat in terms of a battery solution for the NGRS.

Cool Beans. £90 for the genuine kit, a dremel and a bit of spare time is good value compared to Daves Custom Airsoft version - £69 for what is still ultimately a £10 ACM knockoff.

Truthfully it may well be going of for the folks at Eagle6 to do, I'd rather pay someone with experience of doing it right than potentially bodge it myself and wind up having to source (and foot the bill for) more parts. Also spares me the burden of the rewiring and what not, this is my first AEG in years so as much as I'll be looking to figure out how to do the tech work myself I'm more inclined to do that on RIFs without such a high price tag.
But yeah, these days I'd always go genuine article over repro stuff. Just a personal preference, nothing against folks that opt for the repro kit. One of the biggest fallacies in airsoft is that all repro kit is bad... equally matching that is that all repro kit is good. Very much a case by case basis, but sorting the good from the bad will often wind up costing you as much as it would have to just buy the genuine stuff.

They end up like this.... dremeling the Magpul butt pad makes one hell of a mess.

Truth be told, a CTR looks great on a airsoft gun. But for practicality you can’t beat a PTS enhanced stock. And best of all you can stick a big mother of a battery in it.

I keep meaning to pick up a PTS enhanced stock for one of guns. Can't fault the quality of PTS' Plastics.

Nice, The weight seems to be the number one complaint about this smg in reviews. It's quite a hefty little bastard. I have a Eotech 551 clone too but have no plans to run it with this platform due to the added weight. Just feels uncomfortable running a SMG platform with all that weight and I'd rather keep this thing light so my movement isn't compromised in CQB conditions. It's one of the reasons I don't want to put a PEQ unit on it either. Might settle for a simple torch set up.?

I don't do a lot of CQB but thought that I'd give this a go in a change up from the usual ARP 9 type that everyone seems to run. Still can't decide on a sling for it. At the moment it's on a one-point but I like them less and less. A three-point in the old SAS MP5 style could work but I've had enough of three points tbh. Admin.
The PEQ has a decent light on it and is not as heavy as the torch I use on my 416. Still making my mind up about though. The blue laser is different but lots of places don't allow you to use them, which I get. It does looks pretty cool though ?
Is that a G43 clone?

You're running this for woodland and mil-sim games? Nice!? I know TK45C's have surprisingly good range for a smg, I was under the assumption that I might have to buy a longer barrelled platform for mil-sim and woodland games. I'm using a cheaper MS4 single point to two point sling for mine and a molle battle belt with a custom strap I added to lock the gun in place when necessary.
-Yeah it's a G43 clone. https://www.patrolbase.co.uk/ghost-3x-flip-to-side-micro-magnifier a pretty nifty bit of hardware and doesn't add much additional weight to the TK45c. Now All I need is a Torch that wont make this front heavy and a tracer unit and I'm all set.

why not? barrel length has very little impact on performance (when all the other factors for performance are taken into account)
only thing a longer barrel is good for it the ability to poke it through hedges for better concealment.

Pretty much, I tend to shoot for between 230-250mm barrel length wise on a standard 'battle rifle' whatever form that may take. 285mm being the longest I'd look at, with that being a fairly standard length for an AR with a 10" outer barrel. I personally prefer a shorter RIF which probably has a lot to do with my preferences. As always, personal preferences for what you use should trump pretty much everything else. But I can say from experience that I've seen very little difference (if any) between a 230mm barrel versus a 285mm, in some anecdotal instances I might even go as far as to say I've had the shorter 'out performing' the longer... but I have no science to back that up and the aforementioned bias could dictate that statement. And there are far too many contributing factors that go into everything singing together to ever conclude that a shorter barrel is definitively better.
TLDR - @SLACK_JAW You do you hun.

I mainly play woodland, yes. I change things around a lot, but plan on using the TK45c more when we get to play again. I do like my 416 though, and recently had my M14 worked on by Luke at Negative Airsoft, so that definitely needs a run out. Now that is one heavy gun with a huuuuuge barrel.
I picked up a 558 and G43 recently from Real Airsoft UK and have them on my 416. Bit of additional weight but balances out with all the fuckery going on at the business end

Pick one up. You can’t fault it. It does what it says on the tin and it looks good too. Plus it’s got a Magpul spec QD point on both sides. You can’t fault that.
Arrived yesterday. Holosun Micro Classic HS403C I had ordered the B variant but after 2 months they still hadn't stock so they offered this more expensive model for no extra.
I think the only difference is the solar power.
Is my first ever decent optic that isn't one of the £40 knock of red dots from you name it airsoft website.
Thing I am most impressed with is very very little parallax effect which the cheaper red dots suffer from. Great build quality as well and much cheaper than RS military optics but still retains that T1/2 look.
If you want a quality optic you can actually use that isn't expensive this is the one.
Also rocking the guns modify T1 lens cover.

She's a stock! Very tempted by this. The standard SOPMOD stock is just so dull in comparison. Like the QD point and so much battery space. Yep, another thing to add to the list! Anyone aware of any issues putting this on the TM 416 DEVGRU?

Very little impact? The TK45c is a compact and specialized smg. It's around the same size as a Firehawk with a small barrel to put that in perspective for you. Sure I could take it out on an open field but would I be maximizing my efficiency? I'm not sure I'd be half as productive or effective running such a super short barrelled platform for targets at a distance. Even a traditional M4 would suffice in this instance.
This is something I'd personally choose to run woodland and mil-sim. Only I'd have to get myself a L85 or SA80 for sentimental value ? I'll definitely be attending more woodland games in future.
