Awesome!

Careful though, all the important spare parts are sold out (some have been for years) and we won't be seeing any more unfortunately

What spare parts are these?

Part 117 (piston spring) is a usual breaking point, as well as the piston/piston head. The components of the recoil unit have been out of stock for a long time, some people experience issues with the bolt in terms of wear. Magazine feed lips are also a bit of a pain when they break but I believe milspec have a few in, which is very odd. People from the States have been ordering the few Vector parts that Milspec has so it would be best to take a look now rather than later.

 

I've owned 4 or 5 Vectors over the years, it is recommended that you own at least 2 at once, in case one breaks and needs spares.

 

Random, but careful how you pull the charging handle. Seen many Vectors where people have gradually bent the charging handle upwards slightly which can cause issues down the line.

 

Other bits like the magazine baseplates are a common breaking point.

 

Great guns, but are becoming more of a collector's piece as of recent due to rarity of parts.

Bought all this because I went to Defcon Airsoft again to pick up my Krytac from it's service.

http://prntscr.com/idcbl7

RZR .25 bbs 3300 per bottle

Nuprol 1.0 and 2.0 gas cans. (Got a TM Gold Match, so warranty is 1.0 gas)

The nuprol battery was ordered and arrived same day but its the wrong C rating so its up for sale in the classifieds.

An element tactical torch with RIS mount and Pressure Pad

And the Nuprol Large carry case with eggshell foam :D

 

What isn't pictured there is the Imax B6 LiPro balance Charger (1 LiPo at a time version) that i bought off the tech guy as part of the service as well.

Seeing as I'm playing Thursday night, it'd be rude not to buy something new!

•Olive Green UBACS

•Fast mag holders (2x 556 2x Pistol)

•Black carrier (bought a while ago)

 

Not pictured:

 

•Red dot protector

•Warrior Universal Pistol Holster (to replace the pistol going into the 556 pouch it's in now)

•Small molle sling clip (got it on the bottom of my carrier for when I switch to pistol, I can clip the front sling loop into it and stop the rifle swinging around like a donkeys Wotsit)

Unfortunately mate, I am yet to skirmish it lol, still need the right LiPo batteries! (Defcon staff recommend the 11.1V in it, although i will be confirming this with other airsofters first)

Its gonna see its first use on 3rd February in my CQB game. So after that will be the time to ask if you can wait lol.

 

But other than that, I'll be using the G&G Hi Cap, that comes standard. And PTS EPM mags (150rd midcaps). Tried them all in the magwell and there's very little wobble so they should feed pretty well once loaded. Other than that im not much help, sorry mate.

If it's got one of G&G's wonderful mosfets in it, yes you have to use an 11.1v otherwise you'll have no end of problems. I've found that G&G's old mag issues have been resolved with this new iteration of combat machines.

f*ck my phone camera....

 

Anyway, got a few bits for my AM 009..

12" Ares Octarms Keymod handguard in DE

Ares Keymod rails

FMA replica Magpul Keymod RVG in DE

a QD sling Keymod mount + QD ring..

 

all this stuff combined weighs less than the stock handguard by itself.....

 

I really like the looks now, I just wonder what would happen if I replaced the upper receiver with a black one :huh:
