  1. Hate it when you've packed the car and are ready 10 minutes early. Feels like you've forgotton something.

      Haha and you generally have!!

      Have bought a 5.5" outer to stick onto my AM008 until I can decide 😎 (swapping 5" of outer for 5" of suppressor)

      Did the same to my honey badger, went from a 9/10" front end to a 5" one.

      Range and accuracy didn't change at all, and somehow it's quieter now 😕

  3. Have discovered the exciting world of hi capa modification. Oh boy this'll hurt the MasterCard.

      Save both the frustration and disappointment, go straight to the Elite Shooting Centre, and tell Mr Mike Cripps what you want. Easy!

      @trojan1106 where's the fun in building it up though then?

  4. Seeing some sites opening in June. Surely this can't be right?

      Woodland sites in Scotland are just working out the finer details and then they are free to reopen.

      I read through the requirements outlined on the BBC for competitive sports and it included a requirement for testing facilities at the point of entry along with a myriad of other things which to me would indicate it's a bit of premature move. I guess it's just a case of "wait and see" but to be honest I can't see myself returning until things have settled considerably.

      As much as I want to play, I would be inclined to wait until it’s advised and likely to be back to normal. I get some places are able to host smaller groups etc but 3v3 or games with squads of 6 in a woodland setting do not appeal to me. 
      I think returning for the sale of returning early would cause more issues personally.

  5. I'm in love with my new 4.3 Capa 😍

  6. And now my G18C needs to fly the nest (link) 😢

      Trying to standardize my rigs, opted to go with the Hi-capa as I have a 5.1 and a 4.3 on the way. The G18 is great and it's nice it's lighter than the Capa's but I just prefer the capa.

      Fair enough.

      And just like that, it has gone. I will feel bad for the rest of the day but then tomorrow excitement as the new toy is hopefully shipped.

      got one off here a while back but whereabouts did you get that pouch sir?

    3. Steveocee

      Steveocee

      Erm....I think it was an Amazon job. I forget the name of it and it's now boxed up and on it's way to the new owner. I know it was only marketed as a 40mm holder looked like it would do the job, woudl probably remember the name if I saw it.

  8. Thought I found a H8r in stock then. Nearly wee'd but no, not in stock.

      Asomodai

      I found one in Denmark? Old school Email style ordering. 

       

       But it's only 54ish quid. They are a legit business. You have to order first and then they will calculate shipping and invoice for payment.

      @Asomodai what a gem you are! I've just dropped them an email and ordery thingy to see what they come back with. As long as they don't destroy me on shipping this could work out really well.

  9. It's taken 8 weeks but the ghillie is done! Cannot wait to try it out.

      Lucky, I'm still waiting for haloscreen to get back in stock somewhere.

      @Diemaco it's a ghillie so you wouldn't see it 😉
      @Skara halo stuff is super popular isn't it? Totally opposite end of the spectrum but mine was made fully with Helikon ghillie yarns (I've gone easy though so I don't look like an electrified wookie).

    4. Skara

      Skara

      Nah it's not as popular as plastic leaves, mostly due to its cost and lack of availability (you can only get it from LCS or Theyma)

      I reckon it's more versatile than leaves as it doesn't have that awful plasticky look (no matter how much you try to mod them, they'll still look out of place).

       

      My ghillies are going to be mostly cotton, some HS whenever I get my hands on some and some hair bands for real vegetation (you can't beat nature, can you?).

       

      Jute has its application for sure, but as you said most plebs just pile up strands upon strands and end up looking like a meth addicted wookie who's just gone through a car wash.

  10. Start of another week, keep your chins up guys. I know I'm starting to struggle a bit but I'm OK with that.

      My country has slowly started to ease the lockdown measures.

      IF there is no increment in cases,

      IF people keep behaving according to the new measures,

       

      We may be allowed to practice team sports (airsoft included) from the 18th.

       

      Meanwhile I can go for a walk in the woods without being arrested now :D

  11. NEVER throw parts away. There will always be somewhere you can use them. Check out the latest Recon101 blog post.

      A well stocked box o' bits is not to be underestimated.

      I set up a shooting range in the Garden which entertained me for about 30 minutes. I even did John Wick / Taran Tactical moves and tried to snap shoot different targets...... I still only lasted half an hour.

    3. Skara

      Skara

      Same.

      I don't even have a garden to set up a shooting course :(

  13. Ghillie update. Day 2. Nobody warned me how boring this would be. Genuinely want to stab myself in the eye with my craft needle.

    1. Impulse

      Impulse

      This sounds about right... However, at the end remember that you'll have a pretty unique product that will properly stand out on the field... in the safe zone because no one will see you in the field ;) (because nobody makes their own ghillie these days because they can just buy a pre-made leaf suit and be done with it)

       

      It's worth it in the end. I'm doing mine too and it's hell. We'll get there eventually! xD

  14. 3 Weeks odd to kill?? Just pulled the ghillie base and yarns out.

    1. Impulse

      Impulse

      Haha, we're in the same boat. Got a leaf suit, but I want a proper ghillie suit and I've had all the stuff for around 10 years now!

       

      What are you using for yours? I'm using hessian and a webtex concealment vest.

    2. Skara

      Skara

      This boat is rather large then.

      I have 2 systems to craft (leaf suit and viper hood)

    3. Steveocee

      Steveocee

      @Impulse very similar boat.

      I'm using a modified webtex in that is been cut off at the back where the belt strap is and stitched so it doesn't fall apart then using Helikon ghillie fibres for the yarn, just like burlap only they won't go up in flames.

       

      Using a self threading needle to get the yarns into the base cloth to leave elastic free for foliage.

  15. Anyone else bored yet?

      I can still work :(

      which means being bored by default because I can only do a small portion of what I actually have to do.

       

      When I'm home I can't do anything because living in a flat sucks... I can only plink at a chimney on a roof 40m from my window but that's about it :(

      Not yet, servicing all the guns, garden plinking and giving the cars a serious clean inside and out should keep me busy for a good while. Then I'm sure The Boss will find me a few little jobs to do round the house ! Just hope I've got enough BBs to last 

      Oh and cruising the Gun porn on the interweb and compiling a huge wish list 🤣

  16. Hello, I appreciate you may have some stock flow issues ATM but do you know when you'll be getting some more suppressors in? Really trying to get my hands on something 200mm long with a diameter 30-34mm?

      Alas mine isn't that long....

      it is what you do with it I tell Mrs Duck

      (but she responds all small owners say that)

       

      they are about still if Pete is out...

  17. Past 3 AliExpress orders are unmoved for 3 weeks 😞 not looking good chaps.

      Ordered a couple of bits from two different AliExpress sellers on the 28th of January, one dispatched pretty quickly and arrived on the 18th of February.  Notification that the other has been dispatched received two days ago.  Seems like some stuff is moving but it's very hit and miss.

       

      Personally speaking, as long as it's not a return of bubonic plague (death toll 70-200 million) or Spanish flu (death toll 40-50 million) then I'm not too concerned.  The "regular" flu virus kills 300,000-500,000 people a year (source), current global death toll appears to be around 2,800 out of 82,000 reported cases (source), a mortality rate of 3.4%, this obviously does not take into account unreported cases of those people who felt a bit unwell for a couple of weeks, didn't bother seeing a doctor and recovered without an issue, resulting in figures giving more weight to the death toll.

       

      Context is a wonderful thing but doesn't sell newspapers.  Either that or I've just become overly cynical following year after year after year of the latest "panic".

      yeah I saw that with connector set & vice etc...

      saw that this morning - nice dsg vid too

       

      I was thinking of buying a Titan on my wish list with Seigetek etc...

       

      After watching the vid I am even more determined to

      NOT buy a Titan

       

      Good vid, amazing build - heck 7.4v would have done

      but as Luke said he did it to prove a point

      not he can't build it, but chooses NOT to build wanker guns

      @L3wisD It does, even if you prep really well (lots-o-sanding) the final outcome is very textured as you're applying relatively thick amounts with a sponge. On RIFs I see it as a good thing as it's quite grippy and matt. I guess you could sand it back and lacquer if you wanted smooth but then it'd be glossy?
