  1. Checked my order's tracking.

     

    "failed delivery attempt"

     

    Haven't left the office (ground floor btw) since 8:30 AM and I'm literally next to the door.

     

    What the fuck..

      It seems 7:00PM is the delivery time for the postal service in this area, at least that's what the postman told me...

       

      Private couriers pass around 11ish AM instead

      Workmate was on the phone half the day yesterday with DPD trying to work out WTF they'd done with his Espresso machine, and why they'd tried to deliver it to the wrong place, on the wrong day, despite copious assurances to the contrary.

       

      All postal delivery systems are clearly not fit for purpose - it's a wonder that they actually manage to deliver anything at all.

      Fun (and sad) fact.

      Private couriers are cheaper than the Postal Service, yet they offer a much better service.

    Just a reminder that throwing a bunch of cash at a problem won't automatically solve it.

      I think what he's trying to point out is that the titan is a tool designed for a very specific task and it's reliant on the rest of the system performing to a certain standard.

       

      But if done right it does give you functionality that nothing else does, at least nothing without an air line going into it.

  3. Ares steel cylinder (welded pins) Stock cylinder head Stock chamber 3d printed arm Omega nub ML 50° decepticon Stock barrel (debridged) Fired just a handful of shots after installing the hop parts.
  4. Guys, smol qwestion. There is some resistance when pushing the bolt in battery, in particular it happens in the last few millimetres of travel, when the nozzle enters the hop chamber and pushes the bb retention thingy upwards. Did I fuck up something?
  5. Perfect example of people's stupidity. Fancy useless aftermarket hop chamber but kept the shit stock cylinder. The rough bolt pull happens because of the AS01 45° sear and the utter shit brass cylinder. One small free thing you can do is to get rid of the cocking indicator. More useless than that fancy AA hop chamber your mate spend way too much on, it grinds against the cylinder side and, to be fair, nobody cares about a visual indicator that your cock is gunned.
  6. Belt on delivery next week :D

  7. Collected my new radio. guess what? the shoulder mic is cracked. #neverlucky
  8. Turns out the Ares M-Lok rail comes with 6 shit screws that are too short, they only engage the barrel nut threads by idk, not even a full rotation.

    Luckily I had some steel ones, same size, but a mm longer.

  9. yeah, fuck you. Read your post, had a look at eBay and now there's a new radio coming on Wednesday............
  10. FRV has just shipped my order.

      maybe someone cancelled an order that happened to be the same as what you wanted?

  11. Yeah but fuck me when I decided to get a real job. This is gonna be an expensive year.

      Those are the ones without the D-ring (which I honestly don't need).

      Colour choice will be hard (or not), because I actually mix match my stuff.

      I mostly wear green bottoms and A-Tacs FG top for tournaments and M81 or whatever is clean when playing regular skirmishes.

       

      Nylon is almost always A-Tacs iX + either a OD or genuine MC pack.

      The pouches that will go on the belt are in genuine MC.

      Green every time for me then. It just tends to go with "everything" best and will never look out of place.

      Stick to Quavers or monster munch, or just pasta in your case 🙂

      Filling? Just get them to pull the tooth. No issues with fillings going forwards.

      I am getting more and more intrigued by this review, I think I have read it 6 or 7 times already.

      I think I can get it for relatively cheap, and for sure it'll make for a somewhat nice variation to the standard, boring m4.

      ahh yes, forgot you were in italy.

       

      that's the same style as my jg, very handy little gun.

       

      cyma's ak's are good, i certainly wouldnt call it a bad choice (they're the rental gun of choice round here and they seem to hold up to that abuse just fine). of course lct/e&l's exteriors are in a different league but they don't shoot much different.

       

      i'd say go for it, side rail mount with a simple tube optic and a bit of scrim net taped round the stock for padding it's just grand.

      As per my comment on the ATRG review, I had that exact model and it was a beast of a weapon. Needs a few internal bits to improve it but it's built like a tank and is well worth dropping the cash on if it's the kind of thing you're after.

       

      I only got rid of mine because I preferred my SCAR and M4's.

  17. Yeah. I like long guns and anything below 7" is just a large sidearm. And for God's sake companies should stop making 3" barreled rifles
  18. I doubt it'll fit a mk23 shame as it's beautiful and looks rugged..
  19. Opinions on LBX?

    Quality for the price?

    Utter bollox?

      Ive had multiple pairs of Assaulter Trousers from them before. Peruvian I believe.

       

      Good quality - better than you'll need in airsoft.

      Stitching good, pattern correct, feel good to wear.

       

      They do come a bit small in length if its trousers you're going for.

      I was looking at their Assaulter Belt, I know the Armatus II is a great bit of kit but I can't find any info on the belt.
