    Well my new gun arrived. It would have been nice if the courier didn't "deliver" it over the fence though.

    Yodel ??? heard reports they throw/deliver item first, think later so to speak. Glad all ok - saves going to depot if all ends well

    UK Mail. Yodel delivery left in secure location the other week - AKA the bin.

    Probably same driver - he got sacked last week & went to work for UK Mail most likely

    Well Nuprol speedloaders are terrible, as are what turned out to be Ares BBs. Now to get the box mag back together...

    I've got about a dozen of the little buggers, and yet I nevr have one to hand when I want one!

    Think i'll buy another TM one as the first is still happily feeding. Never touching anything affiliated with WE again. Should have known Amoeba BBs are Ares lol, jammed up my box mag but managed to flush them through with blasters.

    New batteries are too small for my Krytac LMG stock. Is filing a couple of MM off the inside of the tube a good or bad idea?

    I'd just go with 2 1450mAh LiPo's - it's not hard to change a battery part way through a day, even if it's a milsim/sim-esque game where going back to the safe zone is either not an option or few & far between, a spare battery isn't much weight to carry...

    Esoterick
    Esoterick
    Well I was under the impression it was ~1 mAh per shot but after chatting to a couple of people this doesn't seem to be the case. I was concerned with 1 battery only being enough for half a box mag.

    Esoterick
    The Krytac LMG enhanced looks pretty nice. Anyone used them?

    I have indeed, it's lovely, range, accuracy and ROF out of the box are very very good, only bit that lets it down is the pistol grip, rest of the rifle is superbly made, pistol grip is the cheapest, nastiest plastic and shiny, bolt should have been made to lock back like the other krytac so but I'm working on that one, box mag seems to just hold more and more when filling, I have changed the front reciever pin to a G&P Magic pin as there was a little too much movement in the top r...

    Have you had any issues with the box mag being loose? In one review I read that it was quite wobbly

    Spatch
    Spatch
    It's a little wobbly but fed with no issues at all, I tried a P-mag in it too and that was as tight as in any of my other M4's I will try it today again and see how much movement there is for you mate

    Anyone know if the WE Phantoms are better than the other Chinese clones available?

    jcheeseright
    jcheeseright
    exactly the same stuff, just with a WE logo on it. Saying that, I have a WE phantom ELCAN replica and it's pretty solid, good eye relief and relatively good light transmission for a replica. The WE EOTech 553 I bought was utter trash though.

    Esoterick

    Cheers that's the one I am looking at, my mate has one and the quality is pretty decent. However the non branded ones are up to half the price so I think i'll go with the latter.

    Esoterick
    Nice, looks like Valve have updated their refund policy on Steam.

    I think Steam have set it up so that the game can only be refunded within 2 weeks of it's purchase, and you can only have played 2 hours or less of it

    Esoterick
    Esoterick
    Yeah that's what I said above, there's also some terms regarding DLC etc. Main concern raised is that short games could be completed in less than 2 hours, but its the most convoluted way of getting a free game going really.

    Offline mode does not report play time. Still, it's much better than it was, now games that are broken will finally have real statistics.

    Anyone know how long it takes a new batch of BTC Spectre MOSFETs to come around. Looks like that my hold up the work on my new gun :(

    2 years is certainly a long time! I'm going to find out how long the chap doing the work on my gun is happy to hold it while I/we wait :)

    I waited 3 months and they were released after the previous batch. From what I understand they are in a constant state of production but only release certain size at a time. Cant blame them really as they are a small team making them.

    Thinking of treating myself to a TM Recce, anyone know when I can find a VLTOR Emod(black) that's in stock?

    Yeah they do manually update stock on some items. When I bought my HK416 it showed 5 in stock, then dropped down to 2 or 3 then went up and down a couple of times as people bought them. Think they do it to create an illusion of demand as they had no trouble finding stuff when i've been in the shop.

    True dat mate, never had an issue when in store, glad you found what you wanted too

    Cheers mate, going to get it shipped off to have an R hop fitted along with a load of other goodies.

    Esoterick
    Anyone got any experience with 5.11 footwear? Looking at something like the range masters for every day use.

    M_P
    M_P
    No but I've got a fair bit of 5.11 stuff and assuming they're up to the same standards then they'll be very goof

    Esoterick

    Cheers M_P, I was kinda thinking the same thing.

    Preload for GTA V on PC opened today. Getting excited now.

    They can't really win. Release the game with bugs and they are a bad developer, delay release to fix said bugs and it's much the same. Rockstar could have been clearer in their updates because the game went from march to april release with no word but it's not worth getting upset about.

    Does Holmbush segregate the different areas as it appears they are also used for a number of events?

    Sounds like a good site, will have to check it out. Thanks for the info guys.

    No worries, just makes me want to play at a site when people are so positive about it. If you see a lanky guy in tropic multicam say hi :)

    Yeah their kit is great quality, I was shocked at the difference between my old condor chest rig and a WAS DCS. You definitely get what you pay for.

    Feeling the urge for another TM Recoil. Not sure if I should get an M4 and make it look swanky or a SCAR L

    Lozart

    SCAR. Join the League of Ugg Boots!

    Esoterick
    Esoterick
    I am quite partial to the SCARs. Really want something that will share mags with my HK416, otherwise i'd get an AK.

    TacMaster
    TacMaster
    SCARs look quite swanky by default, they're definitely head turners compared to the majority of pimped up M4s...the problem nowadays is that M4s have to look really special to stand out from the millions of others

    The only thing I don't like about ordering stuff online is waiting for it to arrive :(

    I'm not promising anything :) Only reason I didn't shoot him as he strolled down the field with no gun was because I've seen a lot of dopey people looking for mags or nades mid game.

    My P30 Serpa came with a black square of plastic with a little hook it, has P226 printed on it. Thanks Blackhawk, I guess...

    I've already got a P226 lol, but yeah for my HK45, fits nicely. Trigger mech got jammed though, think/hope it was unrelated - hammer wouldn't cycle.

    M_P
    M_P
    The hook I assume is to convert it to take a 226 instead Mr B, serpas have them in the trigger guard area if you look into the holster.

    Esoterick
    Esoterick
    Yeah looks like you are right mate, my P226 fits but the decocker butts up to the top edge of the holster.

    Esoterick
    Thinking of replacing the hop rubber in my HK416. Not sure if I should do it or pay a tech to.

    Very easy mate, especially as the 416 is rear wired so no issue of having to route the wires back through the recorder and hop up

    Cheers guys, made a thread in the electrical guns tech board. Any help would be appreciated. Even if it's leave your gun alone you muppet.

    Anyone been to UCAP Sandpit? Going this weekend, heard it's really good.
