The 'What have you just bought' Thread

Bored of swapping my slings about, I decided to just get another. 
I got one of these earlier in the year, and it’s really good quality and solid despite how little it cost. 
Also been wanting an IFAK pouch for my belt loadout too as it was looking a bit sparce. Pouch is two parts, the “sleeve” can either molle on with malice clips or slip over the belt, with the internal quick pouch with plenty of pockets and bungee’s to secure the necessary’s
Ali Exp to the rescue

Ordered on the 18th, arrived today

Latest acquisition for Christmas.

Saw it and found the concept interesting, but won't be able to test it until the new year.

Don't know if I should have gone for the slightly longer version, as the short one seems to be lower powered than advertised; around 1.6J Vs the stated 1.9J, but I'll try it and see!

*Edit: just tried it again with heavier ammo and an Action army VSR mag and it's now up to around 1.9 to 2J, so more than adequate.

I don't know if it's just joule creep, the AA mag seating in better, or the thing's just warming up now but it seems to have improved.

Can't wait to try it out, the thing is just so ridiculously light though!

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.

I would love one of these… by any chance can this l85 be comfortably operated by left-handers (unlike the real thing ?)?

That looks neat as hell. Kinda reminds me of the WA2000, albeit a bit more modernised. I always loved that rifle...

 
Maybe If the system works out Someone can make a WA2000 version or kit for it! ?

 
Thought I'd wear my Alice webbing when using the XM177, bought a pouch which holds 4X20 rnd mags, a leather holster for a 1911 (to stay period) & a double mag pouch to match it. Unfortunately the only period 1911 I currently have is a replica so will use a Raven MEU 1911 instead, bloody pouch is too small for the mags so after a little fettling to the pouch catch they now fit. I'll rivet or bolt the catch in it's new position when I have time to rake about my shed to find the bits I need.

I had the same issue with all three of my original .45 pouches. None of my airsoft 1911 mags fit perfectly. Same for the holster itself, neither my Cybergun anniversary nor my Raven 1911 fit it. I think maybe it’s shrunk over the 60 years though

 
Couldn't find a DE Noveske MWS in stock or in the classifieds, so went and got another TM MP5, this time an A4. And some batteries to fit the A5 and SD6 better (not changing anything electrical until an alternative or replacement mosfet is readily available for them) Thank goodness hobbyking is back.

I just removed the top rivet & spun the stub 180 degrees, they fit fine now.

Feed lips add extra length over a RS 1911 mag , hence why they don’t fit properly in RS mag pouches.

& the deeper butt plate.
