New gun day!

couldn’t resist adding one of these to the GBBR collection

There. That's better. 👍

Thanks! The essentials for the M16 are:
 
G&P 20" steel WA system outer barrel, with unknown brand WA-MWS adapter
G&P front end furniture (M203 heatshield, M5 RAS, I have a standard A2 handguard too but not sure who that's from)
I believe this is a DNA barrel nut, it's definitely not the normal TM one. The person I bought the nut from among other things mentioned that the 203 won't work with the standard barrel nut, it seems like that screw gets in the way
MWC Stock kit. These are built to MWS spec and have large spacers inside, so you can use a carbine buffer inside rather than having to switch out to a rifle length buffer. No weight difference, just saves a bit of faff when finding parts
The 203 is believed to be a king arms, I have a G&P as well and consider the king arms superior because the tube rails have a detent at the end of travel so it holds open as long as you want it
The ACOG is holy warrior, I'm not sold on it currently compared to the G&P repro I used to have but I also don't have enough time with it to say for certain.
I don't believe the UID is correct for an A4 of this era, but this receiver gets passed around a lot of builds and it links to a google doc with info such as current chrono/npas setting, what the hop is set for, whether it's had any recent issues to keep an eye out for etc
I'm a fan of the MK12 but I have a VFC M110 for my quad rail DMR fix, I still want a mod 0 though at some point XD
 
Angry gun are not that bad but you really have to temper your expectations, if it's something with threads or any precise machining like a bolt then you have to understand they don't have a great sucess rate. Stick to simple things like buffers though and they're fine, and I've seen angry gun bolts that lasted almost a whole day before as well. It was broken by lunchtime but the fact it actually fit in the gun, didn't break itself apart when testing at home, got through chrono and then played a couple hours of games is quite impressive for angry gun.
 
Fwiw I've heard that their receiver/front end kits can be workable too if you're alright with a dremel, but I wouldn't personally chance it

A couple of my MWS's, top is a colt 723 with a Nova receiver, VFC Ops Inc suppressor and a few other bits and pieces for a 90's delta build, and the second is an M16A4 as seen in its transitional era during the Iraq war

2nd half of 2022 acquisitions, list available below.
 
A good few of these have been made space for by having to sell the previous incumbents (as it were), I'm fighting for every bit of space saving efficiency these days, but you can only squeeze out so much juice from the orange 😆😬
 
 

As a recent experience, I thought it'd be worth mentioning.
 
I needed an item from a store on Okinawa, which didn't ship internationally. Impulse101 offered to be a proxy service & bought it on my behalf, then shipped it to me. I believe the charge was 10% of the order value for their service.
 
Everything arrived in perfect condition & within about a week or so. Customer service were also brilliant with communication throughout. Absolutely recommend giving them a go

GHK Kochevnik build is almost done externally. Internals are coming from Asia so they'll take a little longer, and there is a Zenitco pistol grip and charging handle piece in there too. Im also working on making a HPA drum for it since Kinetics are so hard to find and theres no news on a new batch. 
 

And that's my Airsoft budget gone for the decade
 
Bunch of Strike Industries bits (again), IA Fortis MWS receiver (I could have bought a couple of MWS' for the price of this bloody thing) & a lovely F-1 S2 pistol grip with paracord. 
 
At least it'll be a fun build!

That's...err...wow....going to be quite a build. I shudder to think of the cost, but it will be most impressive when put together. 
 
I'm resisting anything MWS because I can see it'll a big hole that I'll end up pouring my money into... [*cue internal argument to try and justify it to my missus*] - nope - I need to stay well away from joining the TM master race.

Try to remove any trace of lubrication, particularly silicone oil that may have found it's way in, from all components (particularly the trigger components and the sears). I had 2 trigger boxes with reset issues. I wiped down the oil from both and sprayed the components with WD-40, then wiped off any residue. Both trigger boxes worked as if they were brand new once reassembled. If this resolves it, then you can experiment with metal-on-metal lubes, until you find one that works well.

Here they are
VFC MK11 MOD0 SR-25 & VFC MK20 SSR, both GBB & both absolutely stunning! Dream to finally have the MK11
 
I have a thing for chunky straight mags

On this forum? We are all enablers here!

Simple.
Hand your finances over to me and I will oversee your spending as necessary.😂😂
 
Regards 

Someone please stop me from buying things 

Finally got myself a Maruzen VZ61 scorpion …. Wanted one for ages, and it literally just appeared in my local shop (of all places!) …. Now I just have to wait for the mags from redwolf (only place I could find with them in stock)

It's a nice gun...
 

A couple of Tanakas that have been engraved by some Japanese guy who normally does swords. 

Couple of SCAR GBBs
 
Need the appropriate suppressor for the H SC, but it'll do for now
 
Edit: Also tried a black Scar L

TM MWS almost finished & has been a pain, but loving the result. Accidentally bought a red forward assist and mag release, but it is kind of growing on me. Also want a spare 5 - 6" handguard.
Unintentionally became a Strike Industries build.
 
Any suggestions on a colour for cerakote?
