Hoping to finally take this thing out to a game day later this month.

WE Apache A3 and KWA USP 9, cheeky little H&K setup as I want to have a few games where I'm not sat at the back like a loser with my VSR and get my fat ass moving a bit more, need to set up my second belt to suit this load out but thankfully won't need a million pistol mag pouches as I won't be running 2 pistols with this. Or maybe I'll run a Mac with these 2 ?

Apologies guys, I was sold them as VZ grips and never questioned it. Will amend listing now to avoid any confusion. Appreciate it being pointed out ?

What have I just 3d printed? This ?

Current pet peeve: listings with multiple items in the title and picture. They reupload them after a week, and don't edit the pic to cross out items already gone. (Or don't change the title to remove the ones that are gone!) So you click on it thinking it's interesting, see the only good parts are sold and it's the scraps left over.

That was... really good today. Went to Worthing Airsoft as usual for an absolute scorcher with my MWS-based mk12, as it was shooting really well last game day and today was no different. I was using a much lighter kit today, as I removed the PRS stock from the MWS in favour of trying a CTR instead, and I did like it a lot. The real-steel Magpul CTR stocks clip really sturdily into place so there's basically no stock wobble with them. Sleeper-mega-upgraded Bell 1911 as my sidearm as well, as it feels just so nice to shoot, and this weather is perfect for it with its heavy metal slide. First game was a big game that lasted all morning with loads of objectives. There were collectibles that we had to recover and bring back to our base, but these could be stolen out of each team's base, as well as blocks of "uranium" that were needed to make a bomb. There were 5 blue and 5 yellow blocks, with each team not being allowed to interfere with the other team's blocks, and once all 5 were collected we had to bring them to a scientist who was roaming the gameplay area and escort him to one of the bases. The scientist had to be controlled with a hand on his shoulder, or he could shoot, drop pyro and be a general nuisance and could only be subdued for 90 seconds with leg shots. I decided to set up near our base to dissuade any sneaky antics from the yellows. Managed to pick a lot of people off trying to pop out from a thick area of vegetation, but mostly spent the time relaying enemy movements to my team. I did hit a very sneaky yellow who went all the way around the site and was snooping around our base. However, my magnum opus came as the yellow team had the scientist and did a massive push to the base they needed. I hadn't been cleared and had a great line onto this base, so I played patient and waited for the yellow team to push with the scientist into a little killbox area before I went to town on them. This was a prime example of a DMR being far more useful than a bolt action as I was able to, over the course of about 5 minutes, clear out pretty much their entire team as they tried to medic each other, crawl out and generally try and survive the mean flannel with the GBBR DMR who was bullying them ? I did get taken out eventually because my friend got the scientist and then led him right over to where I was, only for the scientist to get shot and take a knee in the open. We managed to recover, with me pointing my pistol at the scientist's legs to stop him from doing anything against us, however I spotted a lot of yellows trying to push out from where I could no longer cover because I had to keep the scientist under control. I told the 4 players near me that they were massing at this exact point, but... well, you know nobody listened and then all got taken out from that exact position. I managed to keep low enough to remain undetected, but then traded with a yellow player who pushed up to grab the scientist. After that I respawned in and spent the rest of the game trying to hold back what seemed like a yellow tide as we got pushed way back to our base. Once again, got a lot of kills with the MWS, and bounced a BB off a rental's mask that he just... ignored, though eventually it was lunch time and the game was over. Pretty sure we lost that one, but it was at least closer than it felt at the end. After lunch I was a proper mercenary. Because the marshalls kept swapping me and my friend between teams as the ebb and flow changed and more and more players called it early because they were melting. First game we were still on blue and we had to defend the same base that we had in the morning, with yellows having to get into it to plant a bomb to blow it up. Got into my same position as the morning and continued to pick people off trying to be sneaky. Yellows got nowhere near the base. Then the next game was a timed assault on the tower base. We were still on blue and we attacked first, with me and my friend deciding to go on a long flank to take up a position to pincer the yellows with the rest of our team. It went pretty well, with my friend pushing aggressively to clear some players off, then I tucked in and got into a position to cover both the entrance of the tower itself and also another popular spot that the defenders liked. Spent the whole game clearing people off those two spots and our team eventually got in. 12 mins isn't a bad time, but the defense would be tough... ...is what I would say, but me and my friend got balanced onto yellow team, so on the attack again we went. You bet we did the exact same thing, but blue team were wise to my shenanigans and were spraying the area I wanted to go intermittently. However, their focus on me and an unfortunate wind direction carrying the red smoke (red smokes are incendiary at Worthing) allowed my friend to push up super quickly and just... take them all out. By the time I got into my spot, we got into the base and completed the attack on the yellow side. 7 mins and change. Then last game of the day was a three base domination in a very close area of the site, all around the tower area. And you know me and my friend got balanced back onto blue team after the numbers were called in. 6 blues vs 18 yellows wasn't exactly a fair fight, so they balanced the two of us, plus another experienced player so it was 9 blues vs 15 yellows instead, but with some experienced players on the 9. The game ended in a draw, but only because someone managed to throw a red smoke grenade right next to the tower which totally cleared it out. We were dominating for most of the game controlling all three bases for most of the game, but they managed to grab one back and then deny the third with a smoke at the end leading to a draw. I love hot weather airsoft. This is my thing and I thrive in it. When winter rolls around I'll be moaning and groaning about the rain and the cold and the general horrible conditions, but for now... all those people who teased me for being a "fair weather airsofter" but can't handle a bit of heat... Oh, I'm loving watching these very same people now struggle. Fair weather airsofters, the lot of 'em! ? And the flannel is too OP. Started joking it was my flannel of invisibility with how much I was getting away with through the day. Going to pick up some Hawaiian shirts from Aliexpress when their sale goes live tonight, mostly because they'll be thinner than the flannel (the flannel is a bit heavy for this weather), but also because they're even more obvious than the black and white flannel I've been apparently invisible in.

Whole body Only one in the world

Despite being very tired this morning after a few days away that involved a lot of walking in Dorset, I set off bright and early (well, at 07:00) for Airsoft Plantation. After meeting up with the usual suspects, I took the LCT PP-19-01 out to test it properly with my new improved mags. For those who do not know, the midcaps for this gun have huge feeding issues and, as everything that I had tried to improve them had failed, I was on the point of selling it when I decided to have one last try at sorting it out. I ordered a couple of the Arcturus mags; unsurprisingly, they were completely the wrong shape for the LCT magwell. However, after a bit of minor surgery to the internals and to a a couple of the LCT magazine shells, they fed perfectly. Another seven were purchased and converted, all of which fed perfectly; success!. The first game involved us, as the Red team, having to attack the village from the border and set off pyros in three named structures in sequence. We had infinite regens on a marshal, while the defenders had two lives. I started off on the left flank of our attack; the defenders put up a very strong resistance, which held us up for ages. Having been hit, I moved over to our right flank, where we began to make progress as we wore the defenders down. Pushing along the flank, we cleared the area around the Land Rovers and the fuel dump as our colleagues did the same down the other side and through the centre. All three pyros were delivered to their targets, after which we went back to the safe zone to take on fluids and reload. With everyone refreshed, the game was reversed. I took up a position on our right, covering the routes that I had tried to use at the beginning of the previous game. In a target rich environment, I got lots of kills; inevitably, I was eventually hit and fell back to the comms shack where a group of us put up a stiff fight until we were overrun. The game ended with the Blue team achieving the objective four minutes more rapidly than we had managed. After taking on more fluids, we set off for a slightly different game. Eight of us were each given a very large bank note (about 30cm x 15cm); setting up in the mortar pits, where we had one life each, we had to prevent the attackers from obtaining the bank notes for as long as possible. Once they had them all, they had to deliver them to the plane at the DEA base; the catch was that, in order to travel from the far end of the of the site to the mortar pits and then to travel from there to the DEA base, they had to take the double decker bus. As many players as there were seats had to travel on it, singing "The wheels on the bus", while everyone who could not fit on walked behind it. Nobody could fire and the walking attackers could not spread out until the bus had stopped. We had one life at each of the mortar pits and the DEA base, while the attackers had infinite regens on the bus. Crawling under the Bedford, I attempted to hide myself in the rather limited area between the bottom of the wooden deck and the cross members below it; if I had been somewhat smaller, this might have been more successful! However, it worked reasonably well, as it took the attackers a while to find me and, when they did, I shot a fair few of them. Having been well and truly peppered with BBs, I eventually managed to extricate myself from my hiding place and handed over my bank note. Joining my colleagues and taking up a position in the bushes at the DEA base, we awaited the arrival of the big grey bus. Once it stopped on the edge of the DEA base, it was greeted with a hail of fire, but the enemy who had followed the bus on foot engaged us and, eventually, they managed to get the money to the plane. It was now lunch time and, as I was enjoying using the PP-19-01 so much with mags that actually fed, I decided to use it in the afternoon; therefore, I put the battery on charge. AP has a few basic chargers for players to use. As it was the second Sunday of the month, the regular raffle was drawn; the proceeds from this are used to pay the waste disposal costs for the site rather than putting the price up. As usual, I did not win. After lunch, we went back to the village; we were attacking from the fire break with infinite regens on our start point and our aim was to get as many players as possible into the town hall by the end of the game. The defenders had two lives each. As we could attack from anywhere along the firebreak, I joined a group who were pursuing my favourite approach of sweeping around the far end of the village and attacking it from the rear. We got held up by a fierce resistance in the woods, but fought our way to the sniper tower and the blue barrels, where we were again pinned down. Pushing out slightly, I moved into the suburbs, where I was promptly shot by my own side who assumed that I was a defender. Some of our team were getting into the town hall and, just before the game ended, more of us made a run for it. A few were hit along the way but the rest of us piled in, with me being the 31st and last. When the game was reversed, I occupied the first floor of a structure on the main road across the front of the village, from where I could pick off attackers over a 90 degree arc and also call out enemy movements to my colleagues. They pushed hard and we held them back, but it was apparent that the bulk of them were advancing through the suburbs, so some of our group moved to help resist them there; when the game ended they had managed to get 30 players in the town hall, so I am claiming that as a personal win :). The plan for the final game was to reverse the bus one. We set off from the far end of the site, with the players on the bus singing the annoying song; having sung it so many times to my boys when they were little, there was no way I was going to sing it again, so I walked behind the bus. As soon as the bus halted, a cease fire was called as a pyro had caused a fire; this was put out and the game resumed, only to be halted again almost immediately as one of our team had managed to injure himself. While he was attended to, the rest of us moved to the village for a game of capture the cow. We started by the safari car, while the blue team started at the border; the cow was positioned by the well in the village. When the game started, a group of us moved towards the direction the enemy were coming from in an attempt to prevent them getting into the village or at least delay them until our colleagues could grab the cow and get it back to the safari car. This plan worked well apart from the bits about us stopping or delaying the enemy and our colleagues grabbing the cow. After a good, hard fight, the enemy managed to grab Ermintrude and get her back to their start point. As usual, it was an excellent, if very hot and sweaty, day of challenging airsoft played in a really good spirit, which seemed to be enjoyed by everyone, with the possible exception of the chap who injured himself at the end. Hopefully, it isn't too bad and he will soon be back out on the field. Weapons used: LCT PP-19-01 ASG XP18 Commander (CO2) Weapon not used: APS UAR

At least try to be realistic. ?

I'll happily swop?

You aren’t paying for the knock off DDPM, it’s the cocaine in the pocket National Stock Number 6505-00-619-8716 National Stock Number (NSN) 6505-00-619-8716, or NIIN 006198716, (cocaine hydrochloride) was assigned January 1, 1963 in the Federal Logistics Information System (FLIS).

50p, pack of pickled onion monster munch and a curly wurly, final offer. Also going against the ethos of the thread, this seems like a bargain for a starter kit. https://www.airsoft-hub.com/item/39948-bulldog-m4-starter-package. Makes up for all of the £300 delta pioneer starter bundles ?

With your collection it'd be cheaper to BUY the van compared to postage ?

TM G17 Gen5 with agency slide and Acro couple more bits to do to it. But it’s there in terms of internals. Just needs an extended slide catch and Big A frame.

https://airsoft-forums.uk/classifieds/item/67016-vz-1911-grips/ “no longer made in this design” because they never made them in the first place ?

Yes. 12.5” & 9” variants, though not any photos of the 9 in use yet.

Thank you guys. Much appreciated!

Guys, in case anyone isn't aware, the latest run of overly large, & exceptionally annoying ads aren't intended to be a permanent fixture, Proffrink is working hard, when he has the time from his irl commitments, to sort it & I believe migrate the page to a new host site, which should sort most of the issues. Obviously its not a 5 minute job, & in doing so the forum will likely experience some downtime, at least until its all completed. So in the meantime we'd ask you to be patient, there's no need to pm the mods about it, were experiencing the same issues & its just as frustrating for us lol. On the subject of ads in general, yes the forum has running costs, which im not privy to, but obviously the original banner ads (not the new annoying stuff), goes some way to mitigate the running costs, those ads are all airsoft related & not annoying in the least usually. Thanks for your patience?

I haven’t seen that one yet but that’s an ad I ain’t gonna be clicking on, no offence Naga ??

Just purchased Raven Evolution ORE Slayer, budget gun shoots like a laser and hits like a truck. Also Delta Armory Tempest 2 for DMR conversion and an M120 spring, Programming is a convoluted mess but the RIF is solid

With e&c releasing a variant that’s in many way superior these have dropped off a little in pricing. Depending on what comes with it and upgrades if any I’d say 275-300 would be a conservative estimate, maybe I’m wrong

Well now that I'm getting adds to checkout Naga Munchetty's boobs I'm conflicted but I take back my earlier statement.

I'm really invested in this now. You can't ban him. It would be like a production company pulling the plug on the last episode of the season! We need to know what it is!

What annoys me is some folks prices on second hand/unknown goods.

I wouldn't worry too much about the 2 tone. If it's anything like the WE pistols I've owned you'll just have to look at the paint funny and it'll start coming off Meanwhile back on topic, this week I've picked up a T238 nano traser which on the whole I'm happy with despite a few issues (review to come when I've had a chance to properly test it), a few pouches both new and old and a molle thigh panel

Different to my usual western ‘special’ forces load out I’ve gone classic bad guy with this very pretty TM AKS47 type 3 EBB. Second hand and upgraded with a Gate Astor, tightbore barrel, hop up, nub etc. It cycles lovely and smooth and looks stunning with just enough patina to make it look like it’s been used but looked after for decades. Off to play at a new site tomorrow so look forward to seeing how accurate it is and how it does on the chrono, but it’s an AK so full auto aimed at something over there will hopefully get a hit or 2.

Snap! Just waiting on a light and mount.

Looks like copper oxidisation.

Finally we can all complete our Gloria from lock stock and two smoking barrels loadout! ?

Knocked my boxes of blanks off the shelf and they scattered just about everywhere so I printed a little box to keep them in. Hinges and latches are attached with M3X20mm screws/bolts. The shells can move up and down a bit due to the box being designed for live rounds but they don't fall out of the grid.

I prefer the first picture ?

Old TM M4s are pig bitch fucks and whoever thought adding those two tabs to the back of the upper was a good idea needs to have his hands cut off. But damn if it doesn't look good now that it's together. The 9mm mag is just because I don't have any stanags at the moment

I've never been a big fan of CYMA. Always found them a bit meh. I picked this up recently and it's actually a bit good. It's a CYMA Noveske Infidel for those that are interested. Comes with a eshooter mosfet as standard. I even like the midcap as it holds 190. Only thing done to it was swap out the stock for a Magpul slim profile one and replace the hop rubber with the 4Uantum friction Pro as I'm finding them very good.

Recently managed to get my hands on a Sheriff Spas 12. I have a friend who needs the engine to revive his Sheriff Highlander Magnum, so this will be a donor for an M1100-based conversion.

Got a new Cyma supressor for the 553. Just need to modify it and put a tracer inside.

Been building a m723 and m727 for a good part of the year after buying the suppressors from this forum.. This is the 727 so far and was aimed at being a gordon sniper.. Good pal pointed out wrong mount for the touch.. doh I owned spez's blood diamond 727 back in the day and just copied how he did it..

I jinx'd it, it broke last week. ? Cycles but doesn't feed. I've now ordered a load of internal gubbins to fix/upgrade it. Do you have the original standard handguard, and if so, do you want to sell it?

Emerson gear do big boy sizes at almost the same price point, I got some tiger stripe trousers and they're supremely comfortable! https://www.usedairsoft.co.uk/rif-s/electric-powered/upgraded-cyma-m4_i83282 Five hundred pounds for a cyma with kraptac internals. Bargain ??‍♂️

£63 for a pair of knock off DDPM trousers. Ok the pattern hasn't been made for over 15 years but if you spend 10 minutes (edit: more like 2) searching you can pick up a genuine pair in good condition (if not unissued) for less than half that which will probably last longer too https://kit.warfaremedia.net/products/ddpm-trousers-g3-cut
