The 'What have you just bought' Thread

No pics but another speedloader as I've lost, or thrown away, the adapter to fill gbbr magazines. 

Tried using the new one but didn't work so put the adapter on one of my old ones and it worked!! Very confusing. 

 
I got home from work last night to find these on the dining room table....

The previous owner gave up Airsoft years ago and was about to bin them all when a chance conversation about Airsoft led them to be dropped off at my house....

They're at least 15 years old and in need of some TLC but blimey. 

Day went from meh to WHOA!!!

2,500 green tracer BB's, Nuprol NX600S torch, rail to mount it and a smaller battery so I can take the stock off the gun.  I decided to have a go at a local indoor, night CQB game and wanted the right 'kit'.

Realised the first pic was a bit rubbish.


Mostly from WGCShop, who luckily had exactly what I'd been looking for on the tan T-2 and 20rnd PMAGs. I've settled on 4x ACOGs as my standard for pretty much all gats I'll use outside, but presumably Trijicon deployed their lawyers recently or something along those lines, because almost all the good replicas were gone from AliEx. Luckily many of the Ali stores just have their own websites under the same names with almost identical selections and pricing, so the scope is direct from SpecPrecision and the markings are *chef's kiss* (including the embossing on the right side).

Silly question, my friends desperately wanting an acog and I'm drawing a blank on a great clone, does the fibre in these ones actually work?

They do on all the replicas that I have which feature one, though personally that's one feature I don't care about actually working; but hey if the objective/want is more along the replication lines than just shooting bbs at 40m I do get it.

The only tricky thing with the chinese optics is figuring out which actual OEM you're buying from, as on the one hand there's clearly only 1-2 places physically making a given item in most cases, but the sellers are allllll over the place with naming and descriptions (making it seem like there's 50 factories churning out the same thing), not to mention pricing.

This is the example I just bought, only just came in the other day so hasn't been used, but it passes the initial inspection.

At the time of writing I only found one proper replica still up on AliEx, which is worth considering as the site policies are surprisingly pretty tough on sellers. I don't buy much on there, only some of my optics, but in my limited experience so far with something turning up damaged, you'll likely be quite well covered if there's a problem. Don't know if the same applies with the direct sale sites (haven't tested it).

Oh oh oooooh

How does it feel, looks superb ? 
It's very good. The new Mosfet makes it very snappy. Shooting around 260 on a 0.25 but the TM hop makes up for that. The quest now is to find some Mag 100 round midcaps as I don't want to use hicaps and the 40 rounder lowcap is just too low.
