That's rather lush isn't it. Looks like those steel kits are close to £2k per kit though...! I bet if you were in the right (or lets face it, the wrong if we are talking the US) part of the world, you could pick up a genuine wartime pistol for less!

If the interest in getting an AR style is largely down to interchangeability of the mags with your usual RIF, then might the use of a Hi-CAP mag for the occasional/emergency/hot weather use you envisage open up the option of other forms of RIF to you? I have a plastic bodied CYMA AK (CM028) and...

swap the front mount with the rear mount, and you should see if that is indeed the case.......

As a counterpoint, I've been volunteering with teenagers for the last 30 years. The challenges I throw in their way on a weekly basis require varying degrees of grit, teamwork, initiative, and yes, common sense to overcome. Of course, some of them are lacking in some of those qualities, a few...

It's skimishable, but it is absolutely critical first to replace the loading fin/plate and its C clip with a cut down airsoft Pro L96AWS feed plate, together with a matching airsoft pro C clip to hold the fin onto the nozzle/cylinder head. Otherwise the stock C clip constantly pops off and it...

A rather tasty S&T Kar98K: I've popped a slightly shorter Maple Leaf barrel in there, together with a ML Autobot bucking; plus a host of extremely well made goodies from Begadi - new piston, spring guide, cylinder head, hop arm, and 90 degree trigger box. On an M140 spring it's shooting about...

Same! Usually seems to involve the shop just cutting a third off the back of the standard spring, and hovering around the 0.9j range. I've got a box of useless trimmed springs that is constantly getting added to.....

I never find the FPS is an issue on my AAP - low 300s if i remember right. Certainly seems not far short of the range of a reasonably shooting AEG. I seem to recall that the WE glock mags give you a slight FPS boost over the standard AAP mags. But if you have a load of the latter already, you...

I use one of these for the AAP - works well: https://www.patrolbase.co.uk/swiss-arms-adaptx-level-2-adaptable-holster?fv=16899&gad_source=1&gad_campaignid=21499554210&gclid=CjwKCAjwwpDQBhAuEiwAa-4Wo_xuZxEOBzmQPVkcdPyKxZvdq07jujPiIo7cQ14sjuiUW5Dc5mb8AhoChx0QAvD_BwE

I 3d printed mine for (almost) free. Lined with cut up green kitchen scourer pads, it's incredibly effective, and I think looks quite good too. Its been a while, so i can't be certain, but pretty sure that this is the one: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2476969

Tiger stripe, MC tropic, olive green, Chinese type 81, partizan, and Tan&Water for me! I have an aversion to mtp/multicam+ to be completely honest, it's too pale for the sites I frequent.

I'm somewhat the opposite - I like the variety of appearances and styles, despite many of them having (largely) the same internals. Running an averagely performing e.g. MP40 one game, and an averagely performing, say Cyma M16a1 the next gives me more pleasure than, using one of my better...
