Decided there’s no time like the present to get out the wife’s sowIng machine and custom make a ghillie suit to fit this larger than the normal body.
The scariest thing is that I’m gonna have to trust my misses with some pins when I want to get a pattern made and then again to test fit the prototype /scared

Well the 416 is finished , rebuilt box working nicely , but ended up replacing the box with a Tomtac one that my mate had. He prefers the trigger pull on the Tomtac which has a micro switch. Replaced the mag catch too, the original was horrid and didn't feel like it was holding the mag securely . It's now got a nice ambi catch that I had in my spares box. It's now shooting very nicely and sits just under our local site limit on power.
With that off the bench I've started doing a few bits on my own stuff. Sorted out a flash mag that came as part of a boneyard job lot, all striped and fixed. Got round to fitting a Deans connector on the Minimi so the adapter can go back in the battery box.
Got a set of mid cap mags through from Fire Support for my Sten, noticed that the front guard on it is a bit loose, it's only held by one screw so I thing I'll drill and tap it for a second one.

built an m4 out of scrap parts, of course the only COL i had which was the right shape for it had been modified for a mosfet, so my choices are FA only or SA only.
problem is the gate pico i dropped in is causing lockups on semi, same as the gun i pinched it from. gonna have to order me some good ol' basic mosfets to replace them.
also the fusion engine poppet was leaking slightly last trip out, so have that to fix, and took the opportunity to really get the smersh set up nicely for me (me being slightly larger diameter than your average russian soldier needed some creative routing of the webbing)

I will be catching up on some Uni work, decorating, gardening, might service the fork & shock on my bikes and enjoying seeing my wife and daughter as I am normally working long hours. I could listen to a few airsoft related podcasts whilst doing my chores come to think of it. Does any one have any recommendations? Spotify rank airsoft radio as the most popular..or I could learn to strip the rifle and do my own tech on that I guess.
hopefully we will all stick to the new rules and the sooner we stay indoors, the sooner we can all go out. Stay safe.

Congrats, I also had a kid. Picked up a couple of new guns, sold a couple of others, did a bunch of design work on my SCAR H and very little on the SMG project and reworked my loadout. I think once I've picked up a viper chest rig and some 9mm and .308 inserts for it that's going to be finished, barring get a set of Emerson woodland combats.

Congratulations to both of you.
I didn't have any projects as I've worked through lockdown and my tech skills are similar to a drunken chimp but I did end up painting my Striker. I'll post pictures later

Grats to you and the good lady on the Little one
Did loads - like most did many a box set in the first few weeks
Then I finished my mancave build out in the garden and got everything moved in, played with upgrades on the MK23 and started designing my custom bandoleer (still not finished but am at first stitching).
I also bought a T10 and some upgrades then real life kicked in so those never got fitted till last week.

I converted the m14 to be a DMR, hated it and returned it to 1.1J for no MED. It's still slinging .4s out to about 60 - 65m effective range, so I'm fine with this.
However, I also ended up building a HPA VSR and couldn't be happier. Running it on CO2, it's running at 2.3J, effortless bolt pull and so silent.

If I understand you right, you're slinging 0.4g full auto? Does your butler load your mags for you?

You know there are molle bandoliers available, such as Blackhawks model, great lightweight kit & very adaptable, I should know I've got two (technically 3 as I've got a knock off too, yes I know, I've got a problem?)Grats to you and the good lady on the Little one

How well do they work? I'm planning on picking one of these up at some point for a lightweight loadout I can just chuck in the car.

Congrats to you both!
Pretty much everything on the list got completed. Fully upgraded the SA M16/M203 and survived a skirmish so its probably fine. Fully upgraded the Tavor and survived 4 skirmishes, Sorted out the ICS with a new hop unit and Guarder clear bucking. Managed to sort out the JG G36 with better feeding mags which has done the trick.
I sent the XM8 to Negative Airsoft. It comes back shooting fine however the trigger no longer resets on semi. I think I need to open it up again as I cant be arsed to send it off.
SOC AR is nearly completed by my usual tech. Shoots fine, but wont feed properly on high spring strength midcaps and its not midcap syndrome.
JG SL8 is on the bench, SRC XM8 DMR I think is fine now. Haven't skirmished yet.

I still fire semi-auto only. I'm typically a boltie bush wookiee, so my play style is still that sniper style. It's more for the no MED flexibility than the full auto functionality.
If I was using it more often, I'd put .32s in it instead of .4s, as I still go through maybe 700 BBs in a day.

Ah, got you. I'd genuinely forgotten, having experienced far too much of this last time I played woodland.

Really well, I mount a retention holster inverted for a really easy (& quick draw), & 4 short 7.62 shingles, & the last bit of molle has a 5.56 shingle with a twin pistol pouch piggybacked on it.
Even fully loaded it doesn't feel heavy or oppressive like most rigs.
I've not seen the one your looking at before, mines this type
