The 'What have you just bought' Thread

[Airsoft Related Nickname]

I recently had the same thing from Tiger111HK. I ordered a suppressor and emailed them a month later only to be told it was out of stock. I chose an alternative though...which I am currently still waiting for.

And I've just bought some Humbrol Poly Cement to hopefully glue a spacer to the underside of my Px4 slide catch. The fix seems to work but it needs a stronger adhesive.

Oh I don't know that ehobbyasia are going to be arses yet - I've told 'em I want a full refund immediately, because I only ordered the Madbull red rubbers because I was paying for shipping for the suppressor. They haven't replied yet, but yeah, if they don't soon I'll get onto Paypal about it. I don't want to be a real dick about it myself though, because I expect I'll want to buy stuff off them again @some point lol!

Just come back from Riflecraft (only two hours spent in there!) with 2 black P mags, 2 DE P Mags, Ranger plates, 1 Smoke grenade, 1 multibang and a MOE vertical grip.

Looked at a Cerakoted XDM and am now in the process of thinking what to put on my XDM!

 

[Philbucknall]

Was it a photo of an XDM in FDE or one in the flesh? I it's a photo that's mine I think

I love cerakote and the guys over at riflecraft are sound as a pound.

 

[Curly68]

It was one in the flesh Phil. Really nice it was, so going to take mine in soon. Told them you had just bought another pistol so they are expecting that as well!

 

[TheFull9]

Do they do airsoft stuff then?

 

[Ian_Gere]

I got a DPM yoke from somebody on fleabay today for £1.04 + £2.50 P&P

- I've got 2 rocket pouches for my bergen so I've been watching out for a yoke to make a day sack configuration.

 

[Curly68]

Do they do airsoft stuff then?

They did/do but didn't really advertise the fact and wonder why no one came in to buy stuff. They have a few Magpul Masada's in the back and receiver's plus a few mags, MBUS, RSA, XTN plates but you'll have to ask about them as they are going to be sent back!

In the shop the have some blaster bb's and a few TLSFX pyro's along with a few batteries. Plus they do Cerakote, 5.11, Blackhawk etc

Definitely worth a look if you have some time off camp.

KWA G18 and extended mag with serpa... I like Best pistol I have had. Only had 1911's before which just have really heavy metal slides and are pretty bad at capacity in general.

 

[Jacob Wright]

In the process of gearing up for Op Ironstrike, so I've ordered a fair few things;

FG Airsoft WE G39 upgrade kit

Magpul AAC Flashider (For the G36)

G&G 30mm AP

Warrior Shorty Double M4 Pouch

Spray paint from Halfords

Plasticuffs

And when the next paycheck comes in, some G39 mags, some more 1911 mags, a new baseball cap and some cyalumes.

 

[Nickona]

In my attempt to spend less money, I appear t have bought a box mag for my M249... :/

 

[Sam_G]

After getting let down on a element surefire clone. I went for a cheaper option.

£20 delivered

£9 delivered

and then for the colder days

£7.20 from Go Outdoors!

Pick up the adapter from a team mate on Sat.

 

[Ian_Gere]

Does that torch have various modes, Juni0r?

I just bought this 70's vintage Soviet Poljot (Flight) watch for my CCCP loadout:

18 Jewel mechanical alarm movement - it's a bit trashed but apparently works fine $37 inc P&P from Ukraine

There are a few with this movement available, some in a lot better cosmetic condition for only a few USD more, but I like the colour of the face on this one and it will go nicely with my slightly ratty looking VDV camouflage.

I've never known someone go into that much detail for a loadout as to buying a watch

Welcome to milsim/filmsim/roleplay/reenactment airsoft

Although to be fair I've often bought stuff for the sake of it

Well, I'm a bit of a watch-o-phile. Not for the expensive makes though - for eg I once had a fake Rolex with a second hand so smooth that you needed a magnifying glass to tell it from a real one. I could have afforded a real one at the time, but it tickles me that somebody would have to pay more to get their Rolex cleaned than I did to buy something which to all intents and purposes was equally as good, or that for a fiver delivered you can get a watch from Hong Kong with exactly the same quartz movement as in £150 high street "designer*" label watches.

Or indeed this - the hugely successful 2612 movement. Can you imagine what you would have to pay for the same excellent functionality made in Switzerland? LOL!

Having said that, I'm also a lighter-o-phile, so I expect I'll want one to match sooner or later... and there's a few bits of memorabilia that would go nicely alongside my real steel AK cleaning kit... such as genuine KGB ID

* major LOL!

Gordon Bennet, yeah! When I bought my S10 respirator it came with a couple of bits of NBC warfare kit - so I had to get the rest of it, including the field manual "Survive To Fight". Why? Well, I spose I'll last 10mins longer than most of the genpop if we ever get nerve gassed I've got a working radiation detector and reader on my radar still - I've got one of the watch type, but that needs a big machine to be read - the pencil type is affordable and easily portable...

I'm planning on a Battlestar Galactica OD BDU loadout too... it's Katee Sackhoff, even though she is blonde, I love her kickass alter ego :wub:

Actually I wanted to get this watch too:

but it's at £47.02 + £3.99 P&P already with 16hrs left to go

 

[Ian_Gere]

Just ordered a sorbo pad kit for V2/V3 gearboxes - £12.40 inc P&P from Midas Airsoft

- having not got around to putting my LPE airbrake piston head in Sabine, my AK, and with a fat suppressor on Jetta, my G36, I decided to go the whole hog...

 

[Sam_G]

Does that torch have various modes, Juni0r?

Yes it has 5! 3 brightness settings, strobe and SOS.

Also now sold my PEQ15 to get a M900 for my SCAR!

 

[Ian_Gere]

Ah, the same as the ACM C8 knockoff i have then, but prettier. Does yours work the modes in sequence, so you have no option but to cycle through them for the one you want?
