After a lot of time spent looking for parts I think she’s finally finished to a point where i’m happy with her. Now to finish my other projects ? WE M14 WE EBR chassis 90% RA-TECH internals Blue force gear Vickers padded sling RS Ergo EBR grip RS SAGE broom stick RS KAC bipod adaptor RS Harris 1A2-L bipod RS flash hider RS auto lock RS SAGE DCSB RS Leupold MK4 med scope rings Replica Leupold MK4 3.5-10x40 scope RS Butler creek scope cover I may change a couple things in the future. Steel engraved receiver instead of the aluminium one and possibly a RS EBR hand guard if I can find one.

That's the stuff. If you don't have any, just build a shed, and a can will spontaneously form, inside a wooden box covered in spider webs.

I do like myself an EBR kit. It's one of those guns I don't think ever seems to go out of fashion. Some modern British 7.62 sexyness.....

Had a very long but enjoyable day at Special Ops' new CQB site. Day started off a bit pooh though with me arriving without my battery bag. So had to rag it home in the car to get back in time for the briefing. I lost track of the number of games we played, but numbers started off with around 20 players. This dropped off significantly at lunch time; then again at 4pm there was only 9, then at 5 ish there were only 4 of us. Game of the day fro me was the VIP games where teams took it in turns to get the drunk VIP from the pub to the car at the opposite end of the building. Lots of close calls and last minute reprieves for both sides to be had. Then we had various rolling retreats, TDMs and "Get to the Choppa" games. Once the numbers were down to single figures we had the pyramid game where each player on a team was given a number; which resulted in said numbers being the rotation of the players in the game. At the start player 1s would be 1v1, then when that player died, they'd get player two for their side and so on. 5th kill was the end. This was a great game as the sides were very evenly balanced with a speedy boi softer on each side, a youngling/first timer, an experienced slower player and someone in the middle. The twist was that the game was played 4 times and they rotated the numbers around so every player got a chance to be 1v1. When it was just the 4 of us left; I was the more experienced, and physically much bigger player. There was a 14 year kid who was tiny, but turned out to be a deadly shot with his Glock which he was using for most of the day. There was an American teenager on his first time and an older teenager who is a regular at the outdoor site. This American dude got a tooth shot out in the morning in a freak incident with his full face mask, but he got back in the game and seemed to enjoy himself. We had a blast of "winner stays on", 2v2, and a fun game where I was a guard patrolling the centre of the game area on a fixed path whilst the remaining younglings had to sneaky sneaky around to get to the bank to retrieve the gold. Little buggers were lucky that when they made a dash for it, one of the marshalls was in the way LOL. Get to the Choppa was an unmitigated disaster for our team as the opposition had Thomas - the notorious Special Ops runner - and twice in a row they won the game in less than a minute with barely a shot fired. In my defence, I nearly got them on their approach, but my pistol mag had decided (unbeknownst to me) vent itself and pulling the trigger resulted in sweet feck all. Due to my size I tended to stick out past walls and couldn't always duck low enough for cover. As a result, I was domed more times than I can remember. I also managed to get a BB up my nose. Which I didn't notice until talking to a player at respawn and it rolled out mid sentence, much to his humour and my surprise. Comedy moment of the day also fell to me as I snuck up behind someone in the Bank and stood there with my pistol pointed at him for a good 20 seconds deciding where to shoot him - which in the end was the back of his helmet. The overseeing marshall and I exchanged a knowing glance. ? Its a great venue. I think 30 players is the practical limit before overcrowding and bottlenecking becomes an issue. Ironically as the numbers dwindled the day got more fun. Not because of the players, but Carlos and the marshals adapted the games to match the players. I have never run pistols as much as I had today. The Specna is still having troubles, so I needed up with my Double Eagle as rifle of choice, one of my WE glocks isn't cycling properly; but fortunately I had a spare (of course) and the Boy's TM Glock also served me very well. I managed to get all my mags leak free so was well stocked with 6. Also the Double Eagle was throwing out .2s bang on 349FPS, and won me a few lovely kills, one of which was the 14 year old whose eye level was the same as the partially opened window of the delivery van - I got him from the far end of the building under the tail of the Choppa. The day was certainly better than I expected - as a Woodland player mainly - and getting game play from 10am to 6pm (including a lunch break) was great. Now i am resisting the urge to buy a better pistol and a tracer unit. My face and legs however look like a dot to dot picture, and the guy behind the counter of my local shop wondered what had happened. Hopefully they will go down before the big family Easter Dinner tomorrow LOL.

Every time I read one of these threads I feel more confused than ever ? I think I'm going to cover everything with Mazola, see how that goes...

My father in law lives by folkstone beach so he is always on the ship tracking app seeing where certain ships have been and are heading too

What happens in frottclub stays in frottclub ?

Can we put requests out for these things? Asking for a friend

Wot, like us ?

That's very specific..... in a non specific way.

For what ?, car sharing, mutual pegging, more information would help ?

On the cooker side of things, heard great things about alpkits bru kit, which is a copy of the jet boils and are about £50. I was always a fan of a hot chocolate flavoured protein porridge just before sleep, generally meant there was hot water for a metal bottle with a sock around it to act as a hot water bottle. Anything that helped me get good sleep in the 4-5 hours of rest I'd get was very welcome. Wet clothes were removed, but important clothes I'd have to wear again were generally added to my sleeping bag to dry them out (or at least keep them warm, warm wet clothes were better than freezing wet clothes).

Flightradar24 app? I can’t help but find myself virtually watching flights Especially if I see a vapour trail coming off an aircraft at 40,000 feet I just have to know where it’s going I love knowing the whereabouts of particular aircraft as well, the C17 that was in James Bond Spectre, was used to fly the Queens coffin from Edinburgh to Englandshire Im not a plane spotter, just love the app

Very nice build @Rollade miss mine but you can’t keep them all

Thank you. It’s taken like three years to get it where it is haha I’ve not weighed it yet ? i’m not a big built guy but it’s manageable. I play pretty relaxed so it doesn’t bother me to much. that’s with running a vest with soft armour and plates ? They are absolutely stunning! They gave me such a big grin and some very bad ideas haha I know they’re common but god I miss my GBB L85. Have you gone all out on the L129?

2 birds with 1 stone; gym sesh and a skirmish game combined ? Looking good mate.

Ah they are actually in Dymchurch so much closer!

There are a couple, gotta pay for them There is one for the ISS too, which is free Great to watch that on a clear night doing it’s 17,000 kph across the sky

I thought oil based lubricants were not recommended for airsoft guns. Or is that another myth?

I'm not, but I used to work with a couple of guys that are, every teabreak they'd be staring at the sky. BUT I live right by the beach, so light pollution isn't too bad, & if I'm out with the dogs just before bed I find myself staring up at the night sky looking for faint satellites or the flashes when they rotate, anyone know is there a tracking app for them ?

I like it. it's a Striborg SPG9 which is unofficially known as the poor mans ARP9 but seems well liked by the shooting community in the US. I made a 3D printed version a while back.

So you say it's got a newish max hop unit,rubber and new inner barrell. Was the gat working properly before these changes? If the double feeding happened after, then it points to the hop unit. I can't offer any possible remedy but I would start looking there.

I've never had any real issues with Evike and I sometimes use them for weird, niche parts for my weird, niche guns (looking at you, KJW m700...). That is not to say I don't have any issues, but the issues I do have don't tend to be too bad. The UPS experience does sound similar to what I've had. Have to fill in lots of paperwork for things that by law don't require any paperwork and then get extorted for money in admin fees, VAT and import duty. What helps to cut down the cost if you're patient enough is to order from Evike Europe, and if they don't have the part on their website you can request an item from the US website to go onto the Europe website, though that generally takes a few months. Will still take the same length of time to arrive, as they ship a lot of stuff from their US warehouse anyway, but the shipping is cheaper and if you order over €150 the shipping is free (still get stung on taxes and fees when it comes into the UK though). I'm at least part of the reason there's a bunch of m700 parts on their Europe website because I requested them in advance of me needing them

I once looked up the ingredients of WD on the German TuV website. I think that it was 50%ish thinners; so an effective penetrant and degreaser. It will make steel corrode over time, and rots rubber. Given that stainless steel skinned Atlas rockets were deployed in San Diego, I dunno why people use this to lube or protect. Stopping 304 stainless steel from corroding in a climate that doesn't drop below about 10 deg. C isn't something that's exactly difficult. 3-in-1 comes in different grades now too, light and heavy. I think that the tin you inherit from your Grandfather is light.

I'll put myself down as a maybe. Subject to pictures up front

I was replying to this, then stopped myself and deleted it ?

Well that's more than I've heard about the place. I agree on not listening to internet rumours as all too often they're started by childish idiots with an agenda

Been putting this MWS based Mk12 together for a friend over the last month , no going back now ? and with my WE Mk12

No school like the old school

Not a new pew but it was away getting sorted by our local tech for a while, got it back a few weeks ago (shoots like a dream now), thot I'd try an LLm01 on it purely for the looks.

Not posted in a while and not great with pics ? GHK Mk12 Mod1 Forged Edition, kitted out to look like the Line Survivor build used by Marcus Lattrell. Hogue Grip M3 Scope Replica KAC rail covers KAC Style Vert grip Somogear PEQ2a VFC KAC Style Bipod Mount Harris 9-13” bipod Zparts Muzzle break with Zparts Suppressor Nearest clone ARMS scope rings I could find

I'm just all about the late 90s vibes hon.

Sorry for the repost.... But since I've just had the L129, model 604, 701 etc added to the collection. Was time for an updated family photo.

Next piece of the British collection puzzle sorted. G&G L129A1 Got a few bits to do like sort correct trades and some modifications here and there. But will get there.

Setting hops on these WE GBBR this morning , the mk12 has surpassed expectations , semi auto locked & 350fps on .32 it’s shooting very nicely indeed changed the lower over on the mk18 for a trade marked version so gave that a good run and it’s equally ticking my boxes . M4a1 / m203 upper for S&G

Been working on this. Still a work in progress. It's a close representation of the actual minimi's used by the ill fated "Bravo two zero" (as pictured) It's a basic Mk1 minimi, but was fitted with a gpmg flash hider. Mine started as a TOP M249, but has external upgrades, Replica flash hider Guarder steel gas block Guarder steel centre block Guarder steel cocking lever Guarder steel body parts. G&P steel bipod ANGS top cover, This is being worked on to actually have a working round indicator. Genuine rear sight Genuine box mag (period correct) Genuine stock (not fitted yet)

Work in progress, BRT CAR15-SD 300 blk replica. This gun encompasses all the best bits of various guns imo; Its a sub-gun / PDW - my fave size. MP5SD vibes - just love MP5s. Retractable stock - again MP5. AR controls - ergonomics. 20rd mags - easy to shoot when prone. 300 subsonics - cool as F in real steel.

finally rattlecanned the Mk12

The sun was shining so emptied the GBBR rack

Realised I had the parts to make something interesting. For your consideration: an alt-history Olive Drab AR-15 Dissipator build. Imagine the chopped short M16s from the Vietnam-era became standard issue all the way to the A4 variant. Then make it a lovely military-ish green. Recently a real steel Dissipator (that's an AR-15 with a 16 inch barrel and a full rifle-length gas system) was released for sale by Anderson Arms, and this video popped up on my YouTube feed. I really love the full-length-but-shorter look of a Dissipator, and I think sticking on an A2 handguard and a full stock makes it look a lot more military than the Magpul equivalents I had on it previously. What do you think?

A couple of my MWS's, top is a colt 723 with a Nova receiver, VFC Ops Inc suppressor and a few other bits and pieces for a 90's delta build, and the second is an M16A4 as seen in its transitional era during the Iraq war

Now with the RDS on the Elcan, and proper Grip Pod System grip. C’est fin!
