Tanaka Colt Government 380 with walnut wood grips

Hi there. Been playing about 6 years. But just found this site. I'm a dragon crazy female airsoft player. I put dragons all over my rifs lol. Hope to see you out in the fields.

Yup, stay single.

Thought about this thread today. Earlier I put my RPK down on some foliage. The orange bakelite mag shone like crazy. I never realised just how much it stands out. I'm wearing solid black gear. It also stands out, and combined with the orange is akin to orange/black hazard tape! I've still managed to remain unseen for most of the day. Both teams are mostly wearing olive green kit. The PAVN have bright red collar tabs. I'm glad as twice today I've stalked friendly players, only the red tabs stopped me from shooting them. In some circumstances the red can give advantages. I'm probably painting the mag though.

Been a couple of new additions since I last posted my collection & they've been moved about a few times too, took some pics recently. Not intended as a 'flex' but I am proud of my collection, many bought from our classifieds...

Same with the bipod. Most of the time they're just dead weight and you're better off bracing against an arm/leg/tree, etc. Particularly with VSR, adding a bipod is probably going to near double the weight anyway (okay, a slight exaggeration, but then again I've got this Parker-Hale bipod that probably makes that an accurate statement) Usually bipods end up just being used to stand the gun in the safe zone on rather than shoot from, unless you're talking something particularly heavy (support weapon, EBR-14, etc). However, if you're determined to have one, I'd suggest something like a Harris - I'm sure there are plenty of clones but I've not used them. They're lightweight and quick to deploy with spring loaded legs and usually the ability to cant to one side or other to keep the rifle level.

I'm glad to hear it was enjoyed. Ii found Bipods are a mixed bag and gave up using one, instead I use a rip off pouch and put soft stuff in it. Then rip it off to use as a sandbag style rest when need.

Well I said I’d report back. I think the gun crono’d at 1.17 with .28 BB’s. Marshall’s said we had to adhere to the 30m rule which was fine. We will use the heavier BB’s as recommended by you guys next time but I’d already bought the .28’s so thought we’d use them as a test. How did the games go? No idea, my son took the rifle and hogged it the whole time… He said it was excellent and really enjoyed using it. The only game where he switched to his other gun was the last game which was a CQB. He said we need to get a Bipod as it was hard to hold for long periods, can anyone recommend one? Hopefully I’ll get a look in next time we play but I’ve just seen him searching for ghilly suits so I’m not sure.

Bought 88g containers from here. cheapest I could find https://www.co2cartridges.co.uk/88g-threaded-paintball-co2-bb-cartridge-co2

So been working today on L115A3. Doing it based on ones seen in Afghanistan theatre. Now all sprayed up and weathered. Given a light dusting. and carboned up the flash hider. Just need to find/make the correct style suppressor.

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

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.....

Bought a warrior assault placard to replace the horrible cord retention system.

It would entirely depend on the circumstances. Discrimination is covered by the Equality Act, and applies to protected characteristics which include disability. If they were banned for being disabled then that would be discrimination If banned for their actions as an individual then that would not be discrimination But if banned as an individual, for their actions which are a result of their ability then that may or may not be discrimination - and can come down to what is reasonable.

Welcome! Will be on a grand tour this summer with the boy. Might see you around.

I tried to get them to point forwards at first but they always came out. Then I tried backwards and it worked

I'm a massive advocate for bipods, but on something lightweight like a VSR it isn't worth it. As @Hatchet said, it almost doubles the weight, or at least it feels like it because it massively shifts the weight of the rifle because it's lightweight by itself, so a large lump of metal near the front makes it front heavy and nasty to handle. For heavier stuff like M14s it's worth it because they're heavier, so harder to hold up for long periods of time anyway, and also because they're heavier the bipod doesn't have such a massive impact on the balance of the rifle, but I wouldn't put one on a VSR unless you get the heavier Maple Leaf stock; the regular stock and receiver setup's strength is that it's so light. The sand sock has been used in the military for a long time. It's basically just a sock that is filled with sand and then tied off so it's a good rifle rest. I liked @concretesnail's idea of getting a tear-off pouch and filling it with soft stuff and then using that as a rest, as that's likely going to be fairly lightweight and can be worn on a belt kit or chest rig so you won't feel the weight much anyway, but will give you a steady place to rest your rifle when in a hide position. Glad to hear the lad enjoyed running around with a bolt action, even one that was under-powered and still saddled with an MED; it's a very satisfying way of playing for sure! I would actually focus on the rifle before going for a ghillie though, as he'll learn better camo and concealment fieldcraft if he doesn't get reliant on a ghillie suit. It's amazing what you can do with good camo and concealment skills while wearing regular DPM, or even just flat olive drab! I see a lot of ghillie snipers who have awful fieldcraft and they're incredibly easy to counter-snipe. Having a rifle that performs well is always useful though and I'm sure he'll appreciate it when he's able to reach out to 75m with decent accuracy.

SO? It's a G3, man up

I've only removed the stock once to paint a 2 tone & I don't remember the prongs on the sling mount being as simple as those look in your pics, granted.... mine was a pain to reassemble.

It's useful to know how your own setup performs if you like to fiddle. I'm the same It's difficult to remove that smacking, some used an airbrake but it's very difficult because of the way the guns work. If the cylinder maintained pressure maybe you could do it, but it might rebounding anyway so I dunno

I have the cyma SGR12 and just chrono it like a normal aeg. although some chronos have trouble and can sometimes read about 700 fps. at my local if that happens I just fire a few more times to get a better reading it usually reads around 340fps

I have been running TM and GM nozzles without it and had no issues, pretty sure the end of the bolt carrier stops in the receiver end face and not relying on some thin plastic to stop it! Not sure how well that tiny spring would slow the bolt mass and return spring either!

Yarp, there's a lot of satisfaction to be had from getting a hit while playing in Hard Mode, using energy that you've put in yourself. It feels more personal.

Good advice given on this thread! I love running a sub 350fps bolty. I use .32s as they are a good compromise with cost v ultimate 'liftability.' I play at Gunman sites, and Josh usually asks anyone daft enough to use a sub-350fps bolty to say at the safety brief. This avoids the 'He's cheating/shooting within the MED' crap. You could ask the chaps at your site to do the same if they don't already. For short range, get a bayonet fitted... I find that I immerse myself far more with my K98. I think harder, use fieldcraft more and don't walk shots in as much. If you have a look at the day write ups thread, there are a few posts that give advice on getting the most out of your rif. Impulse is a bit of a guru in this department, but don't tell him I said so!

Germany has just warned its population of an upcoming sausage and cheese shortage. They are calling it the wurst käse scenario.

This! The same rules apply to them as to everyone else.

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.

Not disputing the fact that have done and continue to offer high-end upgrade packages but the first question I always ask is 'what's your budget' followed by 'what are you looking to achieve'. From there, I can tailor each build to the customer's specific requirements. Side note, I have never built anything with solely Prommy internals I always select each component based on its own merit with respect to the budget and performance targets. I continually optimise the parts I use and offer based on their performance, price point and availability. @Alex34 Turnaround is currently around 10 days if I have all the parts required in stock That's been my biggest focus over the last decade closely followed by improving communication.

Would you mind sharing the design for this? I can't find a battery to fit and if i can throw an 11.1 in there that would be amazing

Re Sunday 7th April Game. Hi, sorry for the short notice but unfortunately we are having to cancel the game tomorrow due to unforeseen circumstances. For those that have already booked in we will be in touch soon to offer a transfer to our game on the 21st April or if you would prefer a full refund. Our apologies for the inconvenience. Best Regards Carl.

I hear Alec Baldwin is acting in another film. Shooting begins soon.
