[The 'What have you just bought' Thread]

Arrived an hour ago..

 

Does this even need an Introduction?...

 

I've wanted one for 20+ years, gave it a couple of months for the reviews to come out.

 

I bought it in black as I want to get the stock painted green to match my AUG

[Chest Rig Vs Plate Carrier?]

Playing 22 years and mainly stuck to these...

 

Chest rig/Webbing for outdoors, webbing is great for long games but can be a bit much for skirmish days, we don't have to lug as much weight as a real soldier, that's where I would prefer my chest rig.

 

I generally use a Plate Carrier or "gunfighter belt" and PACA style armour for CQB games, keep it light.

 

Generally i'd say get a few options and try each one. sell what you don't want.

[Drug use at airsoft sites]

Drugs/Drink with Firearms, or in this case replicas, do not mix well.  This will always be a hard No from me and I expect that from any site I play at.

 

Even in the evenings if its a weekend event, all it takes is one idiot to take something that makes their judgement lax then ND whilst fiddling with their RIF for the potential that someone will get hurt.

 

Yes they are toys.. but without eye-pro things change.

[Load-Out / Loadout Picture topic]

Dutch Army jungle camo loadout in the making, received the trousers, boonie and vest today. 

[Boot recommendations]

Lowa Zypher boots.

 

I'm on my second pair and they've been brilliant. its an all year round boot too.

[Perun AB++ into ICS L85]

Perfect! Thank you 👌

[Perun AB++ into ICS L85]

As it says on the tin,

 

Has anyone popped an AB++ into an ICS L85,

 

Recently put one in my AUG but I've got one one to do for a mate's L85.

 

Obviously the gearbox is different. 

 

Just wondering if there's anyone out there that has a wiring diagram for this as I've had a search and come up with bugger all on the Googletron. 

 

Ta muchly

[It's happened. I have hit peak airsoft.]

23rd year of playing this year and I too hit my peak.

rifles are down to 3, pistols 2, one LMG and an MP5.

 

I've just made sure they fit in with with my Vietnam or Australian Kit fetish's, so I now spend money on that with one generic airsofter loadout.

I'm not really sure why you quoted me then? The 607 doesn't have an A2 upper. I quoted the post by Freefrag which was talking about the 607.

Think I'm just lost here. 🤷🏼‍♂️

He wasn't referring to your rifle, but a different one, which is the M607.

I wasn't talking about mine either 🤣

That's the Colt Model 607, not that many were made and it saw very limited action in Vietnam, it pre-dates the XM177E1 by a year or so.

 

RetroBlackRifle is a good resource for the early AR-15 family of rifles: http://pullig.dyndns.org/retroblackrifle/ModGde/CrbGde/607.html

It's not..

Look at it. It's got an A2 upper for a start.

Admittedly I've been considering a Vietnam themed load out (due to lack of a decent SLR) but unfortunately I've not been able to track down a decent M16A1.

 

I've seen a CAR-15 variant which is very short along with a sliding stock (not the usual buffer tube design seen on later rifles) but I've not come across any information on whether it saw action in the wild.

 

I suppose it's something I'll have to do a lot more research on before sticking my hand in my pocket.

 

@EDcase and @MandalShArK - both excellent kits. Admittedly I'm a sucker for the original M60.

 

Cyma makes a decent /passable m16a1 now mukka

Nice but I prefer the classic tiger stripe 😁

I just want an impression loadout without spending silly money on exact detail.  The shirt, pants, boots and webbing cost me £61 😉

 

And its not the only loadout I have... More to follow... 😉

 

 

If you want something a little more Accurate and still at a good price, head over to soldier of fortune, its good kit for airsoft and a little bit more period correct, not 80's commercial Tigers   and, it doesn't break the bank.

 

Sadly people fall into the COD Black ops trap of SOG using tigers when in reality SOG Rarely used Tigers across the fence, (generally used when they where on Hatchet force/SLAM Company duty or on the range at a FOB)

 

Issued kit was standard Jungle Greens with labels removed, some teams sprayed black camouflaging lines on them to break up the shape, then later on ERDL Green Dominant camo was used as well .

 

At the end of the day, wear what you want, I'm just providing an accurate description of kit actually used.. and by all means check out our website if you're interested in learning about SOG, we have some damn good interviews with Veterans.

 

One with Jim Bolen for example. http://www.modernforces.com/veteran_jim_bolen.htm

Got my MACV SOG (ish) loadout sorted.  (I know webbing isn't right but close enough for me 😉)

And a choice of weapons 😄

Well ya part way there.

The carbine is at least the same length and the early SOG one.... 😉

Few pics of a KHC Maverick M88 (this was commented twice, once in the thread, once via pm, after I posted fotos of the collection - never expected this to be the gun that gets the most attention 😅)

 

A real fun gun!

Plastic as far as the eye can see, but surprisingly rigid and sturdy. First airsoft shotgun sporting several barrels, this shotgun fires 4 BBs through 4 barrels at once (and was released 5 years prior to the TM SPAS12 ;))

Has a BB reservoir, you simply pour BBs through an opening in the carryhandle, rack the foregrip and fire away.

 

 

 

Had one back in 2004. Wish I'd never sold it

[The 'What have you just bought' Thread]

Pretty sure that's a life jacket/vest/preserver, not sure what the SEALs call them.

 

Yep just a life vest. Standard seal issue from the 60's onward.
