M4 Gr300 rebuilt...
Holy shiet it's loud. The stock is acting like a resonator!
Might be better after chrono and spring balance!- Show previous comments 5 more

Those bodies are by far the best M4 bodies ever produced.
They don't have any of the issues of later production, and I've never heard of one cracking.
The only issue is the bolt release scratching the body.
You should get yours rebuilt. Drop one of those E&C boxes into it with a basic fet and use it to confuse and upset M4 experts who will tell you off for the stock
The only thing you can do with magnesium if you want to spruce it up is paint it. I have no idea what they use the blacken it, but I would avoid the ALU black as it may eat into the metal.

What a day!
Been job hunting, Did a second interview last week, All went well.
Called this morning told I didn't get it.
Then called by another recruiter for a second interview at another company tomorrow. Sorted that out.
Then I got a call back about the job I didn't get... I did get it if I want it. There was a communication error.
I then have to cancel the other interview, Fly across town in rush hour to drop off paperwork for the new job so they can make the offer...
Monday morning, I'll be doing 9-5 as a maintenance engineer in a bacon slicing factory! I can see the company bonuses not been healthy for me!- Show previous comments 7 more

@Albiscuit did you know that the name ‘vegetarian’ is actually an old Northern Europe word ?
Roughly translates as ‘shit at hunting’ !

My new lapping paste arrived
Stuff seems legit. And it's easy to clean up been water based.
Been rodding a barrel all evening and the thing is gleaming internally!-
-
It's an ebay set.
Took about 2 weeks to arrive.
I was lapping a stainless ZCI. It took time but otherwise had no trouble cutting at all.
I'm going to try get some pictures of the inside of it at the weekend, once I get it to a stage where It can be shown off. But for a single evening of just testing them out they have exceeded what I expected.
Far easier to clean than the oil based lapping pastes, Just as well graded, And they become a slurry with a little water. You also don't need a lot for it to cut well. So all in all it's a decent product.

Went out Saturday, Oh my the G3 is shooting well.
2 confirmed kills at 65m. Both went down to a single aimed shot on 0.3's. Felt like a sniper.

Spent a few hours on the air rifle range this evening with the G3. Scope is set, Was happily plinking logs and the bigger targets on that range... All the PCP airgunners looking at me like an idiot for having a gun that made them have kittens. I may have walked past them all with the gun in a bag, dropped the mags on the table, thrown in a mid cap quick, and slapped the cocking lever. Before leaving it on the table for a minute or two.... Mostly people were just looking down the table expecting all hell to break loose any second.
I then shot it, and they realised it was airsoft lol.
Gun is shooing past the 65 meter mark and well into the 70's. Just needs a few K's bb's passing through it to get the rubber where I want it. Not a single misfeed.
And I may of put a deposit on a PCP air rifle. -
Feeling Sexual.. Found a scope on ebay, Won auction, for a surprising low price.
G3 with period glass baby! -
Finally got pictures of the G3 in wood done! More pictures in the Guns picture thread.

went to buy wood oil.... came back with a scope.

Wood kit for the G3 ordered
Tankfest was good, but the traders were a little generic. Epic militaria were the only ones with a well catered for stand.
Got me a German 1980's M1 helmet, And a new pair of Altbergs as well

It was just a sea of cheap gear, Loads of it was all the same. It's like they took gear to sell to kids rather than to people that want nice gear.
There were some bargains, The son got an osprey Mk4 for £20 without plates. And my Altbergs are new condition for £45. We would of paid the same price + postage online so it's a minor saving.
There were some tiedye T-shirts for sale.
You know exactly what I mean tho, It would be nice to see someone take the initiative and take decent gear priced to sell.
My hands down favourite stall was the shooting range. Imagine 4 £50 blue two tone Mp5's. Chained to a 5meter shooting range, With a couple of steel targets at the bottom... No prizes, no take away target paper. Literally here's a mid cap, Shoot that way, £5 please! and the stall was rammed. That stall was just printing money. -

There was one on the compound corner selling spent brass like it was gold.
He was like a Gypsy Gandalf, Dirty grubby looking bloke, who probably spends more time sniffing brasso and watching porn than doing any real work.
Most of the brass was bulk purchased as well. Typical junk aimed at 13 year old boys.

Urgh, USPS have tracked my parcel all the way to London, Royal Mail then don't update its status for 4 days. It could be in customs, it could be out for delivery tomorrow.... Who knows.
In other news the matt clearcoat on the M4 is gassing off. It's gone a lovely shade of USA army green. Courtesy of the plastic soldier company sprays. Spot on product.
