So my glasses have finally arrived they are very quite you can hardly hear the fans and i think once playing you wont notice them at all.

As far as I know having held a firearms license for quite a few years only pressure bearing components of a gun are controlled so bolt, barrel, receiver. Triggers and fire control mechanisms are not controlled in the uk and that isnt really relevant as making parts for toys is not making parts for guns

So coming out of IWA this week we had a tasty little preview of what looked to be a .308 variant of the MTW. A lot of people consider MTWs to be the best HPA platforms, since they're built for it and tend to come out at pretty high quality, so another variant that isn't just an AR-15 will be welcome (even if it's only an AR-10). I'll be interested to see where this goes, as I do like my .308 guns and I'd like to do a build with a tank in the stock, but will see how things develop as we know very little at the moment.

The type 89 gbbr scope mounts seem impossible to find and apparently the aeg ones arent combatible so I knocked this up quickly so I can have something on it for this weekend

I have one on my Vietnam belt kit, but it doesn't feel like the most secure pouch. I've used it to carry an HPA tank one time, but when I use it I just stick extra scrim net in there for VC sneaky shenanigans. I mostly use it as a central attachment point for the harness. If I was to use this kit for normal skirmish, I'd probably need to use the butt pack more for BBs, gas etc, but I'd be constantly worried that it's going to fall out. Not an issue for Vietnam games due to ammo limits, so I have to go back to respawn to re-ammo anyway, but at a skirmish game or other event without ammo limits (or with higher ammo limits), this could be a concern...

Just seen this. Was expecting S&T to put this out for some time. Interesting to see how it compares to the Ares No4.

Went to my bosses funeral today. I knelt by the coffin and whispered, 'Who's thinking outside the box now then, Dave?'

I do have 7.4's but my CRB has had a fair bit of work done to it to support 11.1s. Gearbox was upgraded, piston has metal teeth is memory serves me right with a gate titan v2 as well. If the 11.1's do cause a damage, it's just an excuse to get more work done to it.

Decided to try and make my airsoft loadout in Ghost Recon Wildlands. I'd just started a new playthrough as well so had to do a bit of work to get the correct rifle (or as close as anyway) Bonus safety briefing pic (hence the wearing of glasses and not goggles) Quite like this one but I've been told I look like an American patriot/proud boy. Also, my last game before finally upgrading to a plate carrier. Photo's of that soon (hopefully).

This bad boy . . Expect more questions. 😁

Am now the latest member of the MWS owners club. I really need to stop taking lunch breaks, they're expensive.

So recently I grabbed a tokyo marui type 89 and I had seen lots of videos of the nozzle mangling itself so I designed and 3d printed a copy of the tm part. It works just as well as the original and I can replace it indefinitely. This isn't the fist time I've done something like this and im even in the process of designing my own nozzles and fire control mechanisms from the ground up. So the question is if I offered a service of copying parts in rare guns and making spares or replacements would anyone be interested in that sort of thing? Obviously 3d printing has its limitations but theres no reason that when I have a printed part done the file cant be handed over to a cnc machining company or such particularly for trigger mechanism components.

I've lost a bit of weight recently by wearing bread on top of my head. It's a loaf hat diet....

I sincerely hope that he dies a terrible and lingering death.

Im a fan of the Scottish word, though I doubt words are enough. If they were hit by a bus is right it off as karma without a second thought.

We have one in Scotland too... C$%T

Like/love my S&T MkIII, I'll add a MkIV some day. Shame the hop adjust is so obvious.

We have a special word in German for trash like this cockwomble. Der ist ein Missgeburt. I can’t believe his channel hasn’t been deleted yet. Despicable.

Back in the days of black and white when I wore british 58 pattern webbing, the rear Kidney Pouches suffered from the same issue. The solution then was to put everything in a plastic tub, and then inside the pouches. I'd imagine a more up to date solution would be to use a small canoe sack/stuff sack to keep it all together, and reduce the likelihood of bits falling out.

I’m the complete opposite. Everything gets chucked into it! Odin speed loader, green gas, spare batteries, food, medications, tools, soft cover, towel, eye pro, spare eye pro, face pro and if there’s some room left a few more mags 😂

I thought that that was a plate from Grogan's Cape to Cairo, but its a bit earlier and bloody fascinating: https://digitalcollections.nypl.org/collections/savage-africa-being-the-narrative-of-a-tour-in-equatorial-southwestern#/?tab=about Has unicorns in apparently. Love the look of outrage on the gorilla's face, and its over emphasised opposable big toes. Here's Grogan showing how to get directions from pygmies:

I'm a bit cynical when it comes to 11.1 lipos, if you have any concerns about the viability of any of the aegs, you might want to invest in a 7.4 or two, definitely doesn’t put as much strain or pressure on your gearbox as an 11.1 Worth considering 🤔

Type 89 nozzle is done and with a few internal tweaks and some finer print settings its now giving me the same fps and consistency as the tm original piece. Going to be running it this weekend and just dumping mags through it every now and again to see how long it lasts.

he hee....he said butt! I have three, one green nylon, one woodland and one of those god awful modern versions where all the straps and buckles are in the wrong place. Definitely interesting to see the "what goes around" happening in the resurgence of belt kits and indeed, butt packs, with the Spiritus LBE expander, the Mayflower/Velocity Jungle rig, the Platatac belt kits and of course, good old British belt order kit (which never really went away to be fair).

It's crap. My MOE fixed stock slides beautifully onto the buffer tube with zero wobble whatsoever. This is wobblier than a wobbly thing and I don't want to use tape to shore it up (the usual velcro mod doesn't work with it either). This is intended as an entry level Precision Rifle stock, but in reality it's useless for that. So I am now going to test Brownells UK returns policy...🙄

It’s definitely snappier than my gen3 I only got mine delivered yesterday afternoon, and noticed the paint on the mag is scuffing quite a lot (not that it’s important) But that’s only about 20 to 30 mag entry & releases I do like the faux steel coloured slide And removed the lanyard loop, and swapped to a back strap more in size for me Overall, I like it

Limited play time so far bud as was at the British shooting show last weekend up at the NEC and the weather appears to be perpetually shite. It's my fave Marui pistol now though. Very lively in the hand. Although that might just be 'new thing blinkers' 🤣 Thanks for that.. gonna take a peek...

Just received one of the new Magpul MOE PR stocks from the US courtesy of Brownells UK.

Surely all these problems can be avoided by employing a trusty bearer/loader to handle such mundane duties, while you focus on the important business of engaging with a typical airsoft opponent?

Educate yourselves airsofters. The pith helmet is a summer essential. Everyone should play in one. And don't shoot until you see the whites of their eyes.

They will strike from underneath given enough of a whack, or a direct strike to the base of the anvil. You really want the base of the primer (bit with the hole) covered as that's where the brisant material will explode from. Look at a fired cartridge that has been hit by a firing pin that is too long. The pin will pierce the striker and the metal of the pin will be burnt to such an extent that the hardening goes and it becomes pitted and brittle. The pierced metal face of the primer will be burned black as it has been exposed to such high temps. Now imagine that amount of heated material hitting human skin. If a primer goes off in your hand for example, it will likely leave a disabling amount of damage. I know I'm harping on, but I've worked in this field years ago.

Went to the Doctors today for an examination. 'Relax and try not to become aroused Dave,' said the Dr. Surprised as hell I answered, 'My name's not Dave.' 'I know,' said the Doc, 'I'm Dave.'

Yes, its shows that they are actively trying to help, which is good.

Places like this do not lend themselves well to paintball I played the infamous paintball game at the Mall. It should have been run as a limited numbers & limited paint game, but then the costs don’t add up - it would have needed to be well trusted and experienced organiser to be able to charge high enough entry prices for any chance of viability ( and originally it would have been with a scheduled event and aiming powder balls, but somebody else also jumped the bandwagon and secured an earlier date ) They soon discovered they had bit off more than they could chew, opened it to unlimited paint to up the income. In minutes the whole place was soaked with clear paint. Carpets absorbed and were full of liquid gel, marble floors were ice rinks. Game one was ended early and then the long wait for all the sawdust in the area to be bought and thrown around the site It didn’t get much better Assaults on shop doorways were no surprise - just watch the opposition pass the big window and squeeze the trigger as they get to the door Walls didn’t need to be knocked in etc as the back service corridors could be used whilst others were stuck in stalemates at the shop fronts Airsoft just leaves plastic balls around which can be swept up - just avoid stepping on concentrations of BBs From what I heard for weeks later, the paint was ‘bleeding’ out of the carpets for airsofter games Rent and rates will be the real killer. As soon as there’s any use the rates become active, so it’s not always an existing cost for the owners - if they are stuck with rates then at least some income from game days reduces costs, or sometimes concessions can be made with councils such as for short term pop up shops etc & as you mentioned charity concessions can work

Oh. Oh dear. For years i've had a thing for the Welrod. You know, the sneaky bastard WW2 assassins' gun. The boy got a creality for Christmas and has been getting to grips with it and i've just discovered that a cheap n nasty springer can be fitted into a 3d printed shell for a springy welrod....has to be my next project. On top of the other 30,000 jobs i have to do.

This only reminds me how much I want an SLR

Running my British WW1 kit a few weeks ago up at Adrenalin Airsoft (Was visiting a friend, very far north for me usually) one of the best regular skirmish days I've had in a while! (Repping the First Battalion Boys WW1 team insignia, based on blackadder's fictional badges)

So an update, over the past couple of months, I've slowly sanded off the original varnish and just about finished recoating. I used 3x coats of water based wood stain (Dark Walnut), then 3x coats of Danish oil. I picked up a repro butt plate and tarnished with some salt & vinegar, it's not perfect fit, but better than the metal one it comes with. Happy enough with it, it's far from perfect, but then that adds a bit of character 🙂 Original vs real steel Sanded Reoiled Butt plate

Even worse.. he has uploaded another video... Reported again, but I wont hold my breath if youtube hasn't given him the banhammer for his previous spiteful videos

so they tried to help, it didn't help, but "let's post it on facebook anyway just to show we are doing something" lol how useless
