Not a particularly epic make just a small alteration to make a rig more useful to me . I’m not a great user of pistols always carry one but vary rarely extra mags so the ones you often find on rigs aren’t much use to me . Bought a mini rig of @lucaslu1709on theses very forums (cheers bud?) which had two pistol mag pouches on the front , so split the two centre seams on the elastic , stripped the webbing panels off the front of the pouches then stitched two sections of elastic to make one single and used the shock cord from the top of the pistol pouches to make the bottom retainer . Simples !

Famous last words ! ?‍♂️??? with coloured kit try washing it inside out and at a lower temp , will help the colour last longer ?

Oooohhh ! I’m liking that !? Can I have the one with all the colours around it ? Will go absolutely spiffing with my Bizon ! ?

And because who ever has changed the inner hasn’t shortened it so you can’t actually run it with out the bloody suppressor on it ! As to the ‘custom paint job’ was it done by a professional painter(can’t see Geartech mentioned any where) ? Where the paints individually Mixed just for him ? Think it’s safe to say as if ! so no it’s not a ‘custom paint job’ All he’s done is just lay a scrim net on it and given it a couple of squirts with a rattle can ! ?‍♂️

As so manny lazy feckers ask nowadays “link !” ??

I know the Easter bunny?hopped through this morning BUT £215+ P&P for for what looks like less than £200’s worth of 2nd hand kit ? Be selling the tooth fairies ?‍♂️ platecarrier next ?

Big difference is everyone likes the ghostbusters NO ONE like HPA players except other HPA players ? “Who ya gonna call ? Not dem winkers !”

Aaahh the innocents of the new player , if only he knew what’s ahead of him ! ??? Seriously though mate yes there expensive(but best things usually are)but no way I’d call the TM recoil range ‘posh or Gucci’ by any stretch of the imagination , those are two terms used when referring to kit that’s desirable but realistically no better than the cheaper versions you can get(like when you see squaddies tooling around Sennybridge wearing the what ever the SAS are wearing this season !) I genuinely believe (as do many other players)theres nothing on the market that’ll touch a TM recoil for range and accuracy out of the box , absolutely nothing .TM’s are about the only airsoft guns that you can turn around and say “yea the hype is true and there worth every penny” believe me it’s ALL true what people say about them . Equally I believe you have to be off your trog to sink hundreds and hundreds of pounds in to them as they’ll never be as reliable as they where before ‘upgrading’ them . ?

It’s a running argument between the two main camps of TM recoil fan , on the one side(the side I’m on) you have the players who say leave well alone they don’t NEED to be upgraded bar sticking a deans on it . Then in the other are the ones who say it’ll become the ultimate BB slinger by basically changing near everything in it turn it in to ‘triggers broom’ , which my side thinks rather defies the point of having one in the first place ! ? PS you can NEVER save or regain the magic dust once you crack the gearbox open .?

Unfortunately no he’s not joking and yes he is deadly serious with his asking price . Take it your new’ish to the world of TM recoils as ‘Kingdom of airsoft’ has an almost mystical reputation with your really obsessive recoil fanboys , it takes literally mths to get him to even look at your gun AND then even more mths to get it done and back ! Dropping a grand on one of his ‘upgrades’ is the norm so yea 1,200 is nothing unusual .

They are a sweet bit of kit , Ben the owner of ‘warhead airsoft’ is a really nice bloke , he plays at my regular site .

Terence Walter Arthur Thomas !?‍♂️

Last update of the abomination , wasn’t happy with a ‘naked’ dust cover so sorted that and then decided it needed a tactigay sling , so made one of those as well , also decided to give the PBS a bit of character as well ! Can’t wait for its first kill(the souls that die of those who gaze upon it don’t count !?) ?

I’ve been making kit for a good few years now and I find the best way too mark out the molle spacing is have a sheet of card with spacing marked on it that you’ve then cut with a craft knife on each ‘stitch’ line that you mark through on to the material in one go . I found if you mark up each line as you go along It’ll always go Pete Tong and you end up with crooked molle strips ! ?‍♂️

Glad I’m not the only one ?? Definitely keep as is , got the whole cool Rammstein ‘vibe’ about it ! with perhaps a few passes of matte clear coat to stop the rust ? ?

I’m not a great lover of pistols but I do like that , except for the grips , they look to me like you bought them from your local bakery , they look like a black Yule log stood on its end ! ? BUT As long as your happy , then who cares ? ?

AND phase two complete ! ?

Mite be able to reclaim that status , ordered some pink 25mm webbing this evening to make a tacticool sling for it ! ?

WiP but now you know one of the possibilities when you buy a pink Bizon ! ??

My self and my three team mates who run TM recoils all run them stock , only ones I’ve ever had upgraded (two by professionals and one by a ‘tinkerer’) all went tits up . My pet theory on the subject is as its a well known fact TM only care about the home market and quite frankly couldn’t give a flying fornication about what the rest of the world ‘needs’ or wants all there guns are made to the finest tolerances to suit the very strict fps rules they have there in Japan . Hence once you do start ‘fiddling’ with them your going to alter those tolerances and basically unless you do a total ‘gut and rebuild’ sometime in the near future your gun is going to implode (as happened to the three I had) where as my stock guns are still running fine even up to 14yrs later . About all I’ve ever done to them maintenance wise is every couple of yrs I’ll take the motor off and give em a blast with a can of silicon oil up in to the gearbox but that’s it , even still got the original hop rubbers in them (except one G36 I put a maple leaf hop rubber and nub in to see if it would increase the range, it didn’t ! ?‍♂️) just my humble personal opinion , but this does come with the caveat of when ‘opinions’ are voiced just remember “an opinion is like an arse hole , everybody has one and there frequently full of shit !” ???

And I would disagree with your disagreement ? (@alxndrhll is spot on hadn’t picked up your on about ‘upgraded’ TM’s due to the wording?)I have 7 TM recoils all are totally stock Bar deans adapters and there all functioning fine and the oldest will be 14yr old this yr and 2nd will be 12yr old and all the rest fit in between those ages and 3yrs for the youngest . The oldest will some times not be touched for over a year due to its specific set up(the others can run for mths and mths with out use) but pick it up stick a battery in it and it runs fine . Yet a Dboys SR I bought for a movie themed loadout was used for a couple of mths then left for 6 or 7mths ? And on trying it to sell it was totally locked and the same thing happened to an army armourment SA80 I had , left for near a year wouldn’t work when tried . ?

BUT playing devils advocate the good thing with having the TM recoil sat in a cupboard unused for mths and mths is when you do finally pick it up again you 100% know it’s going to work just as perfectly as when you bought it , whereas with the cheap gun the gods of airsoft will cast there bones of good and bad luck to decide wether it’ll still work just to feck with you ? ?

A pink Bizon ! Was going to strip the pink and repaint but once No2 son saw it he said “like f*ck you are ! We’re doing a theme on that to freak out all the Russian kit geardo’s !” I love my son ! ????? PS the seller on these very forum @VonGrimmeven chucked in a free silver PBS suppressor with it and I have to say the quality of his 3D printing skills are amazing !
