4-16x44 on a .308 platform is definitely not too big! I have a 4-24x50mm scope on my Tanakas, a 3-18x50mm scope on my m14, a 3-15x50mm scope on my Kar98k, and a 4-16x44mm scope on my mk12 😁 They're incredibly useful for reconnaissance and PID. I'm frequently the one calling out enemy...

Pistol grip is a Hogue pistol grip and it fills that awful gap between the trigger guard and the pistol grip: https://www.brownells.co.uk/AR-15-PISTOL-GRIP-Pistol-Grip-Rubber-Black-HOGUE-Polymer-Rubber-408150000 And the paracord is there so that the rifle hangs better when on a sling. If you...

Holy Warrior Aimpoint M2 repro and damn is it NICE

Holy Warrior repro Aimpoint M2 arrived from Aliexpress today and I think this might be my go-to 1.1J SBR now, overtaking the URG-I. Mostly because I see URG-Is everywhere, but how often do you see co-witnessed red dots? Also it's VERY reminiscent of the first AEG I ever bought; an old D-boys m4...

*looks at two pre-ban Tanakas and one post-ban Tanaka that are my main bolt action rifles, and Bell 1911 that still gets regular use* So uhhhhhh... I think the pre-ban Tanakas are probably about 25 years old or so. The Bell 1911 is the one that has been in specifically my collection the...

As someone who has played airsoft for 20+ years, I could easily cheat chrono if I wanted to in a number of different ways. I value my word, reputation, and general morality far more than getting a very slight advantage in weekend BB wars in the woods though (not to mention committing a crime if...

I headed to Worthing today for a regular skirmish, taking my Tanaka m700 (the m40a5 one) and my m24 as a backup, with my TM P226 as a sidearm. I was going to run my 90s kit, since I'm at a 90s filmsim next weekend, but I decided on using my regular stuff, because one of the marshalls, who I was...

I didn't but the guy I bought it from did. He did a lovely job on the wood on it, as I'm nowhere near that skilled with wood (oi oi missus... 😅)

Personally I'd just wait until someone like fire-support or Eagle6 gets them in. They're usually good for TM stuff in the UK Or at the very least I'd look at reputable Asian shops like JK Army or Impulse101

Wolverine stuff as well is all imperial sizing, because American company.

Always makes me feel like an asshole when I'm VERY cautious about letting other airsofters handle my stuff. I'll usually let people have a shot, but I'm always internally screaming 😅 Look, I've seen a lot of airsofters over my 20+ years of playing. It's a very informed opinion!

Just a pair of old-school rifles. PPS Kar98k with a Bad Ace Tactical scope mount and Vector Optics 3-15x scope for sniping, Tanaka G33/40 with ZF41 scope for 1.1J scout rifling.

Picked this up from a shop in Japan for just over £100 including postage. Going straight on my Tanaka G33/40 to make that into a bit of a 1.1J scout bolt action rifle. If I want to snipe with a WW2 bolt action, I have my full length PPS K98k with a proper scope after all. I think it was a...

As someone who has done the whole ghillie sniper thing since before it was cool (ah, dyed hessian my not-beloved...), I find a lot of ghillies these days are actually really crap because they rely on the suit to keep them hidden. I actively try to not use mine sometimes just to make sure my...

Long post time because full weekend yay What. A. Day. Or rather, what a weekend! I spent this weekend up at Longmoor training camp for a Defiant Events battlesim, Saturday being midcaps, Sunday being realcaps. It's the first battlesim I've attended there, since I couldn't go before with no...
