Not bad quality and dirt cheap for two of 'em!

2 Pcs Black Vertical Grip Universal Plastic Airsoft Tactic Grip for Airsoft Rail Accessories https://amzn.eu/d/faHWlZN
I ordered one of them from Amazon last year, and the plastic was terrible

sent it back and bought from a different “seller” on there.

The quality was night n day , genuinely couldn’t tell the difference from the original apart from missing trades

It can be hit or a miss 

Glad you got good uns ?

 
It's a million times better than the 3d printed one I bought ages ago, but it's not as nice as others I own 

But for £4.50 each "mustn't grumble" ?

 
Not really bought, more got

I sent in my LeatherMan tool that I purchased back in ‘99 whilst visiting Singapore 

to the supporting retailer for warranty assistance 

I was hoping for a sharpen and tighten

Instead, they “retired” it and replaced it with the current replacement model

Well chuffed!

I do carry it on my loadout if that counts

Finally got the look I wanted for the l85 thanks to @gavinkempselland @MandalShArK.  Bought an "Elcanish", then a small red dot.

I had to re thread the holes on the mounting plate to accept something recognisable,  but that wasn't a chore.

Bought a kill killflash too which works better than I expected. Will do some festive fettling looking forward to the new year.

For a second, I saw the front grip and thought you had somehow bullpup'd a bullpup!

Very nice!

 
After getting the funds together a few days ago for the BAR sold on here, and then finding out this morning it was already sold I figured "Bugger", went onto Usedairsoft and saw another one. Should have got a lottery ticket I think!

Been after one for years after seeing a beautifully aged one a local shop had one that sadly wasn't for sale. Finally got my hands on one! (Hopefully... Guy seems trust worthy though ?)


Just taken delivery of the BAR, and it was so worth the 6 years wait to find one and have the money for it ?

Sadly the stock mounting screws seem to have shitted themselves in transport so it's holding on for dear life but that seems to be common anyway. Can't wait to use it next month.

And in typical fashion, I buy an LMG and then find something else I've been after. Found the only ICS M1 Garand in stock in the UK (I believe), one left... Not any more. My bank account is going to hate me ?

A rather boring 180% nozzle return spring to try to sort out the issue of the brand new SSX303's trigger sporadically not resetting (yes I've emailed the retailer too for a solution!)

 
I bought one of these super-cheap scope mounts from Ant-Supplies (£9!), and it's doing a pretty good job with my old air rifle scope   :)

It could do with cantilevering a bit further forward, just an extra 3/4" would help with the eye relief from my natural position , but it's 'good enough'.
(I suppose I could have the turrets in front of the forward ring, but I think that would look odd)

 
Needed a gas block to replace my front iron sights, got this from airsoft world.net and they gave me a free patch and a bounty!

Thankfully I don't mind a bounty, controversial topic ?

I did prefer the Dark Chocolate Bounty, never see them any more, must have been discontinued 

I got a patch today in the post as well

There was something in the news earlier in the year that mars were dropping it. As much as I'll miss them the fact that it made Piers Morgan throw a tantrum more than makes up for it
