It already is. I told you about it the other day!

Well I put "GBBR/Next Gen" in the title; Next gen meaning the EBB.

Picked up a G&P Magpul M4 with a locked up gearbox/trigger and missing stock and stock tube. Snagged it for 50 quid! Completely stock but with Magpul receiver, Pistol grip, handguard and foregrip. Cracked it open, seems that the cocking lever spring has been overstretched so the bolt cover won't spring back as it should. In the gearbox I found the spur gear shaft completely sheared off and the motor pinion well worn. Replaced the spur gear, Air seal was OK, but I switched out the full cylinder for a 4/5ths as well as a new piston and cylinder head (which had to be modified to fit the gearbox protrusions) Seems to be working OK if a little bit tight sounding. Going to grab some parts from AK2M4 to get her really purring, as well as a stock tube and stock. The intention is to have a full set of M4A1 and Magpul furniture to switch between.

So I made a huge mistake. It was the customs fee from an order I made at WGC a week ago. So still have no idea what's happening with the GF order!

5x PPS shells cost 16 quid from Gunfire. 2x PPS shells cost £14 here. So 20 shells cost 64 quid from Poland or 140 quid in the UK. I understand things are more expensive here. But frankly we are price gouged in this country for many things. And considering many UK airsoft shops buy from the EU for stock. Why shouldn't I? Even before we left the EU, whenever I purchased abroad I was aware I would likely not send anything back. Everything gets upgraded anyway.

Finally got a customs payment email. 62 quid on a 145 quid order... That's more like 43% of the value... Ridiculous. Lets hope I actually see the item in the next week. Coming up to 2 months next week.

Looks like its an NGRS https://atrg.blog/2021/04/20/tokyo-marui-next-generation-recoil-shock-a-first-look/

I have been back since this review. Not much has changed though they have started using different areas of the site. It is slowly getting better, COVID pending.

It might be happening. Or its just a Boy version. 😉 Looks like they are releasing another updated Glock as well.

Day 46. No sign of it :-(. Still in customs I think.

Annnnnnd the Invader Predators are too big and having to be sent back

I wanted to shrink it a little bit, so turned it inside out and washed it at 10 degrees hotter then I should have. Sadly it didnt shrink, but even inside out, it faded where as my jacket is still full colour. The Predators I have ordered are the same size, but has a higher waist, so hopefully will fit better. They sold their last Large this morning so had to plump for XL. My waist is right on the cusp of the two sizes. I have given up on the dye idea and sold the Revenger Trousers to a fellow forumite

Another expensive day of gear purchasing. Invader Gear Predator Trousers in Vegetato (Replacing the Revengers that I faded in the wash :() Viper Security Belt Nuprol Polymer Shotgun Cartridge shell holder MFH South African Combat Vest in Vegetato Picatinny One Piece Scope Mount M-Lok to picatinny adapter. Think I am finally done with my Vegetato loadout.

I really like the black/blue hue in the photo. My guess is they used Black dye for natural fibers so the poly ripstop squares and stitching still shows. But because of the base brown tan and green the black is sorta blueish. Is that a reasonable assumption in your professional opinion? Or should I go for a synthetic dye? My trousers are 35/65 poly/cotton.

Darn. I figured as much. Thanks for the advice! I think black is the answer 😕

Hello all. Some of you are aware of my new but fading Vegetato trousers. I had put them up for sale but I am having a rethink about what to do with them. I came across these two Variants of Vegetato, the Navy/Blue one and a one off wargames dyed Black one. Here are my trousers. Do you think its possible to get the Blue Navy effect using something like Blue Dylon? Essentually turning the tan/green and brown colours into blue? Should I use a light or dark blue colour? Alternatively I do like the obviously dyed Black of the second photo (You can see the Ripstop and poly stitching) Anyone tried dying camo before? Do you think I could get a decent Blue?

Just tried to open an investigation as UPS CS urged me to. Cant even open one as I get an error message everytime. Have emailed Gunfire to open a dispute. Its only a small order, but it includes 4 sets of 5 PPS shotgun shells which are so bloody difficult to get. I have a new XM26 that I have no idea it works as I haven't any shells for it!

Mine was from Gunfire just to make that clear!

Welp.

It's been 7-8 days since my tracking number updated with anything new :(. Anyone else have this?

In anticipation of getting my Radio License. I have blown my load on a Baofeng 1701 Digital Walkie Talkie and pairing them up with my already purchased Z-Tac PTT and Headset. I now just need to find other people with chad digital radio to reap the benefits.

I had considered grabbing it myself but would have thrown the mag.
