Car-15 style slim handguard yay or nay?

Seems like you've answered your own question then (unless cost ends up being prohibative). I hate the look of crane stocks and find them far too wide for my comfort, but appreciate the functional element in terms of battery storage (I prefer sleek/slim stocks, my favourite two being the B5 systems repro CAR stock and the BCM Gunfighter fwiw).
Again very much an opinion thing, but since using the Unity mount on ARs and the Zenitco B-18 on AKs I'm entirely into jacking those optics up nice and high. So much more comfortable for me, in the not too distant future I'll be looking into having a carry handle transplated onto an MWS upper to do the whole Gordy/Blood Diamond thing. Though much like you, I'm definitely not using an A1/A2 grip with the BCM mod 3 being my preference.
As always, you do you. As long as it's not landing you in crippling debt you know as well as I do that the moment you're asking this sort of question around here that you're already definitely buying it irrelevent of what gets said 😅.

Saying about wanting a ‘Gordon’ inspired look to an M4 i’ve got a classic army 733 used in BHD , greenzone and possibly blood diamond on its way to me soon . Couple of yrs ago a prop house who supplied these films with most of the guns used was selling off its airsoft inventory , and a friend who does work for the guy who bought a big chunk of the stock is helping him sell them on .

Double Eagle M904g – Aka the Original Q Honey Badger
Skara replied to mightyjebus's topic in AEG/GBBR Reviews
The website you linked sends to RC models. Get one, but please buy the buffer tube version, this because the lower receiver is proprietary and I would rather have the buffer tube adapter rather than trying to print one out of thin air. Everything else is just bog standard M4/V2 stuff, so plenty of spares and upgrades available. If the Titan knock off dies, you can replace it with whatever you want. -
Cellar gear, tacbelts-uk, templars I guess

'twas an odd day. It's definitely becoming way too hot to play. Wearing synthetic shit didn't help either. The new chest rig worked really well, I like how light it is even when loaded. We are now at 36 members with an active count of 15+ each Sunday, most are new kids, teamwork is growing but we are still not ready for tournaments, only a handful of people (including me) have experience with those. Which sucks dicks because we have one tournament scheduled on the 11th of July. So back to yesterday, there is this guy who always shows up late, thinks he has the right to do whatever the fuck he wants just because he paid, which is definitely not the case here, so after him being annoying all day I took him to the side and gave him one last chance at behaving before handing back his money and kick him out of the club. I mean, we meet at 8 AM on the field for a reason, especially during the warmer months, it gets unplayable after 10:30 AM so we try to play as much as possible before, you can't show up at 9 and then complain that we don't wait for you, or that we go home by 11:30.. There's plenty of other clubs that have a different view on Airsoft, go join those instead.

Honestly you should have waited for the edge 2.0 series. With that being said, I have the Core version and it's great for the price, albeit in mine there is fuck all left from Specna internally (just the gearbox shell, bushings and tappet plate).
-
Hehe, I do it too sometimes. Anyway, I'm still looking for a type B mamba upper (I don't like the snakeskin like pattern on the side), but all I can find is -stupidly overpriced- type As. I feel like AA rushed to release stuff and now don't know what to do. I mean it's been a good while since they first announced the m-lok upper/handguard/thingamabob or whatever the fuck that is. In the meantime they announced and released more cosmetic stuff like triggers and extended magazine release buttons. What I'd like to see is a monolithic polymer upper receiver with a long top rail that sits flush with the stock, a bottom rail for a grip/torch and a metal thread insert, that can still be used with the stock 129mm barrel. Kinda like a black mamba, but with more thought put into it (the misaligned rails when the stock is installed trigger my OCD).

You know you can gently file them down to the correct length, right? 🤣 But yeah, let him know about your issue.

I ordered two things from them (a shooter belt and then a 1" inner belt about 7/8 months later), both items got posted within 4 days of ordering 😕 Also, weren't they moving to a new facility a few months ago?

Which makes it sort of fun to find the best price (lowest doesn't necessarily mean best, sometimes it's worth spending a few more coins and get an useable warranty in return, for example)
-
You could have spent half that money for the same thing. That's what @Speedbird_666 meant. Nuprol just imports and rebrands stuff, apparently with a hefty mark-up too! (not uncommon tbf)
-
Depending on your grip, you may want to move it on the top rail and subsequently move the front sight back a little bit. if you c-clamp like a boss you can activate the switch with your thumb, at least that's what I would do.

Yesterday's game was an absolute blast! Decided to run just the pdw + drum mag and a small backpack, no belt, no chest rig, no sidearm, which turned out to be perfect for the 20°+ temperature we faced. We went for a "training day" with shorter games (10 minutes tops) since we have a tournament scheduled on the 11th of July. We also have a lot of new members who are willing to participate but have no experience, so we took the opportunity to teach them a thing or two. Overall a really good day, good hit taking and a couple of mega facepalm moments. One in particular in the last game: Picture me and three others moving through dense bushes in a sort of diamond formation with me at the back being the squad leader. We somehow missed the last defender who was lying prone inside a bush and he ended up right in the centre of the group. He takes me out with a burst to the legs, my teammates instead of magdumping said bush started returning fire in all sorts of directions except where the shots came from turns out the defender almost wiped out the entire squad if it wasn't for one guy with just a bit of common sense who opened fire in the right direction Technical side: the new Perun V2 Hybrid ran spotless, I just need to source another pdw stock (will most likely order directly from King Arms) because the stubby fixed is a little bit too short and the standard buffer tube + crane I don't like the looks of. Next Sunday, sniping time.

Out of curiosity, how much did you pay?

Just don't do it when there's a p* around

Literally the telegram groups I'm in. When I sold the striker it took 5 days to get a "yes I confirm the purchase, here's the money" 😕 as the guy would send ONE message a day. now it's the same shit all over again for the mp5. I have like 7 messages asking "is it available?" To which I replied "yes, available", then fuck all for at least 4/5 days -.-
-
Overtravel I guess. Not really useful on the AAP since I found the stock trigger to break just a smidge before running out of available travel. But maybe these one are thinner and allow for a bit more travel. Mind you, it'll take about 2 months for them to get here, based on my last purchase from HK (fucking airtech g&g short stroke trigger kit, took ages, had enough time to get bored of the arp and sell it -.-)

Not that I care much, I can't stand italian music I haven't had any issue yet with both of my gen 1s. Mind you, I very rarely use (or carry) sidearms, most of the rounds I fire are at home, for shits and giggles. The gen 2 "improved" hammer seems to last longer than the gen 1, but will eventually shit the bed. The only solution would be to upgrade to a cow cow set asap. It also appears to be a somewhat common issue with the G18 system. On a side note, I have just ordered two TTI triggers from WGC shop.

New Perun Hybrid installed.
Anti retard design: you REALLY need to be special to mess the installation, the hardest part is peeling the selector sticker off the paper.
Programming isn't super intuitive, but not a big deal, one will eventually get used to it, plus now you have a very convenient set of stickers to attach to a buffer tube/stock for a quick reminder along with the usual card.
Disabling precocking is hilarious, the gun starts to charge like a laser beam, then fires a shot to release spring tension
Binary trigger doesn't struggle anymore to read the trigger on a "slow" build like the optical did. If you hold the trigger it cancels the 2nd shot.
Two stage trigger is super convenient, although it doesn't work when binary trigger is on (I might leave binary off for now).
Adjustable precocking/ab/trigger sensitivity are a nice feature.
Rof reduction and dmr delay are two settings I'll never touch, but I get normal people would use them.
For the price? Gate can go fuck itself.
You want the absolute maximum freedom of tuning? Can't beat a Titan with Expert firmware, but these two are very different units for very different purposes (imo).
Overall, worth the wait for me.

@Adolf Hamster 2 mins will let u know

They're here! Minor disappointment in the V3 as it requires soldering out of the box, but I can totally understand why they did that (there's a million + 1 different guns with V3 boxes and having a one size fits all set of wires is impossible). V2 will be installed tonight, V3 within saturday
-
Small update to my King Arms PDW: Maxx TE chamber installed, new handguard from AliExpress fitted. Just need the new Perun V2 Hybrid (which just arrived) to be installed, and maybe a harder hop rubber, then it's 101% done until I get bored with the stubby fixed wobbly cunt stock
-
Yesterday was meh. Hot, humid, wasn't motivated to do anything. One of those days where you wonder if staying in bed would've been the better choice. Hopefully next weekend will be better..at the very least I'll try some new stuff out.

Just placed an order for a Mayflower UW gen IV chest rig in ranger green from overseas. €190 posted, currently preparing ass for the sandpaper-wrapped buttfuck I'm gonna get by customs
-
WHERE? Been trying to find a mamba in stock for ages -.-
-
Ultimately pick the gun you like. Both makes use fairly standard parts so any mechanical niggle can be easily sorted for not much. Do NOT watch YouTube reviews, 9 times out of 10 you're just wasting time, they tell you where the fire selector is on an M4 and don't provide any useful information.
