Well this thread makes not want to order guns outside the UK lol.

I largely disagree entirely with this statement. In my opinion you should put more effort into researching eye pro than you should any RIF you ever purchase.
 
I wouldn't personally entrust my vision to anything made by Valken or Nuprol, QC is my main concern here. Bolle and Revision are both brands known to be up to the task, worth considering how much you tend to sweat/how likely you are to fog protective eyewear up. Not being able to see where you're going/what you're pointing your shooty stick at/moving your eye pro to clear fog is just as dangerous as wearing inappropriate eyewear. Assuming you value your vision, take some time, look at testimonials and go from there.
 
Also worth considering the shape of your face when picking up eye pro, uncomfortable protective equipment will happily ruin your day.

What people probably wanna see on the gram vs how I've actually used it.
 

New Coyote Tan set-up starting to take shape. Still a couple of additions/substitutions to go, particularly with the mag pouches, but so far really happy with most of the gear from Warrior. 
 

A TM G34 with all the trimmings (shoutout to the lovely Prowin mags) and a pair of TRMRs with multi shot bases from a lovely bloke on here that’s unfortunately leaving the game. Genuinely gutted because I’d have loved to get some games in with him, but it’s come to a good home. This’ll be the new ‘CQB primary’ stuff.
 
The arrival of some additional long WTFix straps means I could finish putting the Crye Airlite chest rig together, and my Ferro FCPC v5 arrived from the US. Placard is very much a placeholder, not entirely settled on what will live there just yet.
 

I have a TK45C and yeah, really surprised by the weight. I have the stubby PTS foregrip and run a 551 clone and PEQ15 on it. Time to go back to basic; "Press up position, DOWN!"

New shiny pistol 
 
 

Oh I like that setup... very nice indeed! 

I don't have any recommendations per se in terms of the 'form' that is generally person preference, I generally veer towatd T1/T2 replicas because I like the look... not much more thought has gone into it than that. With the general theme being inexpensive I'd probably advise giving a hint toward your preferred look and then folks with experiences of various replica of that type can share their thoughts.
 
One thing I would consider which caught me off guard, are you aware of whether you have an astigmatism at all? I was gutted when I picked up a fancy reflex sight only to discover what should have been a lovely crisp dot looked more like a firework going off. I've found using similar optics with both eyes open (which was something entirely new to me) lessens how bad it is and makes it entirely workable. Just food for thought, I'd gone through 30 years on this Earth having no idea I had anything going on with my eyes... because there is seemingly very little an astigmatism actually effects in day to day life.

Picked up this G3 a while ago. Just waiting for a flash hider from LCS to arrive, I’ll chop the inner barrel that extends into the suppressor down so it’s more close quarters friendly. 
 
Also got a railed handguard but not sure I want to ruin the classic lines of it, although it would be nice to mount a torch? 
 
What do people think?

My winter project. A mix of parts that didnt want to fit together but were made to comply. (Surpassingly it shoots better than expected +/- 6fps)
G&P colt stamped receiver 
Nuprol Bocca handrail + Silcencer
CYMA gearbox (its all I had spare)
Big dragon pistol grip (Its horrible and needs replacing)
 

Hey I want to share my sub par mp5 with you’s. Every time I go to upload the files too big and when I make it small it looks like shiz. However scrolling up everyone’s pictures are lovely. 
 
 Exhibit A:

I don’t post here often as I don’t buy many pew pews
Recently picked this up in the classifieds here, it’s needing a little bit of attention, but having tidied up some rusty screw heads and a quick clean up, I’m quite happy.
Still to get to shoot it, fitted a London Bridge Trading sling and just got some PTS tan mags for it 
Love the look of this thing
 
 

Thought I'd drop the final result of a long ongoing TM Recoil project, that's finally been completed. Clone of Larry Vickers' rifle from the Modelo Prison raid in '89. 
 
More of this kind of jazz over at PenguinDynamix on IG. 
 

Bunch of long discontinued stuff mushed together.
 

my haunted cyma cm621 lol

Homage to a scout sniper:
 
KJW M700 as a base, barrel shortened for 430mm inner barrel and a CO2 adaptor for the stock. Just waiting on one connector and will be good to go. 

All fitted and looking low profile. Took no time at all but make sure you have some very small punches to pop the pins bout of the foresight.
 
I co-witnessed the holosight before removing the front and rear iron sights so it should be pretty close to sighted. Off the the UCAP Bunker in Portsmouth tonight so it will be the first skirmish with the MWS!! Exciting!

I noticed the little nub on the TNT T bucking. The modify tan is the same too. Personally I’d rather it be like that than too big like the Maple leaf. 
 
My MWS mk12 mod 0... gave the prs stock to the VFC SR-25 and went old school on the MWS... MWS CASV lingering at the bottom.
 

Latest upgrade is a tan Hera CQR stock.
The question is- what else does it need?
Scope will be black.
So either:
Tan free-float rail and black foregrip
Or
Black free-float rail and tan foregrip?
 

Very much ‘just another mayo AR’, but it’s my ‘just another mayo AR’.
 
Finally got around to modifying the dust cover so it holds shut, and threw a PDI 6.05 barrel in there (no idea what effect that’s going to have until I get an opportunity to shoot it further than I currently can). Just waiting on a Mini2 replica to show up from HK (ordered mid December, so lord knows when that’ll show up) and I reckon the dishes are done.
 

 
Turns out the colour of BCM FDE looks nothing like it does in person in photos 🤷🏻‍♂️.
