  1. Collected my new radio. guess what? the shoulder mic is cracked. #neverlucky
  2. 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.

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

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

  5. 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.

      2020 is definitely off for a good start, not much for my wallet tho :P

      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.

  11. 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
  12. I doubt it'll fit a mk23 shame as it's beautiful and looks rugged..
  13. 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.

  14. Absolutely retarded idea, but.

     

    What if I mod a pair of jeans to accept Crye style knee pads?

      I'd like a bit of variety in my airsoft clothing choices.

      M81 is bae, A-Tacs FG works great in my area (along with RG) but a more "civilian" looking kit wouldn't be bad to have. Maybe with a ranger green shirt thrown in.

    3. Adolf Hamster

      Maybe just a pair of builders trousers? Civ look but eminently practical

      I wear my bike jeans (Rokker Revolutions), which have concealed D3O pads in the knees and hips and are also waterproof. Highly recommended, if a bit pricey.

  15. ARP externals have been delivered. The rail is utter crap though.
  16. Ares airsoft.

    FUCK.

    YOU.

     

    You useless piece of trash company.

     

    Can't even make a proper fucking handguard.

      Oh, don't worry. I won't. Lesson learned.

      have you tried barrel nut shims or thread lock?

    4. Skara

      Skara

      shims are useless (at least in my case). Thread lock would be an option but I haven't got any atm.

       

      I mean, those small pieces of plastic are fine, they do their job and they're free, but I know it's not a definitive solution.

  17. Sum externals for the ARP (barrel extension and 9" M-Lok handguard) Should be here tomorrow
  18. That feeling when the person you asked a small technical question to is deliberately ignoring you.

    1. Skara

      Skara

      Yeah.

      I just want to know the inner diameter of a M-Lok handguard. Takes literally 30 seconds to unpack one, measure it and put it back in the box.
