Had been considering a thermal scope for a while but ended up going for NV when an ex demo came up for sale.

Remove the screw from under the rail, a small section will come away, revealing some hex key screws in the bottom of the rail.
 
 

DSG, the bump stock of the airsoft world

I tend to use whatever is in my primary to save messing about. 
 
If you are within MED then any weight is going to be accurate for that 20-25 meters.

This is a review of the Galaxy MP5K as stock.
 

 
Pros:
It's super cheap.
Very light.
310fps out of the box.
Comes with a 200 round hi-cap, a usable NimH battery and a burn-your-house-down charger.
You can HK-slap it.
Very nearly as handy as a pistol, with very nearly a carbine's range.
Works well in CQB or as a sniper-secondary, if you've got the drop on your target.
Takes pretty much any generic MP5 magazine: high, mid or real cap.
The V3 gearbox is solid, and has no inherent issues.
Will hop 0.25g.
The full-auto ROF isn't too bad.
 
Cons:
The fire-selector is sloppy, and wants flipped to full them back to semi in order to click in.
Might just barely hop 0.28g, but don't bet on it.
The push-pull lever hop unit loves to slacken off, and needs tightening up, or cable tie the hop-arm to the barrel.
Very plastic, lots of ping in the spring, and creak-and-flex in the foregrip.
"Very-nearly" isn't the same as same as exactly. It's not quite a pistol, nor quite a carbine.
If you HK-slap, the HK-slap will break sooner rather than later.  Just bin it and fit a decent long lipo down the tube.
The stock motor is very weak, and the delay between pulling the trigger and shooting the BB can be put on your calendar.
A long, lonnnnnnnnng trigger pull, which isn't trivial to sort out.  In combination with the insipid motor, this means that you'll never win a CQB face-off.
 
Overall:
You can have a ton of fun with this very cheap, light toy gnu out of the box. 
It can be upgraded, but the trigger pull and semi-auto response will remain problematic.
Lipo, mosfet and a decent long-shaft motor will sort most of the cons, except for the trigger response.
 
Should you though?:
At the price, sure.  Loads of laughs for the money.
 

Did Leg Day vs Skipped Leg Day.
 

416 receivers can be tricky to find.  e&c do one but about £70 delivered when you can find them.  very nice though, hopefully got some coming in a September order
 

Hi guys I know it's been a while I just thought I'd update you with the forever gun situation! 
 
I made the decision see the below pic! 

Just the two I have at the moment

My current ar's.

Lockdown has made for quite a few changes to the ole-loadouts. Here’s everything in their current form. Eotech will be changing to a much smaller RMR style sight on the AK.
 
AK - LCT base. M140 DSG build running 340fps at 35rps on a 7.4V lipo. Combat union AK hop was a pleasure to install and is the nicest Hop I’ve handled. Makarov is rocking a Maple leaf bucking and tensioner with a crazy jet barrel.
 
M4 - Specna base. M140 DSG Running 300fps at c.50rps on an 11.1V lipo. Jefftron Leviathan gives a 5rd burst instead on full auto as I’m not a total div, despite the Novristch SSP1 and Silver trim.
 
L85 - ICS. Stock internals, rewired to a Gate Nano hard.
 
M14 - Cyma base. Wooden stock. Semi auto locked and bang on 450fps with no hop applied. Gate Nano hard in the stock. Hawke scope is lovely and I would thoroughly recommend!

My wife found the invoice for my TM MK46... 
 
She couldn't quite believe the cost for what as we all know is a bloody toy gun!
 
What followed was a very intense conversation, where I came clean about my entire collection's value including all my Crye gear etc.
 
Explaining why my combat trousers were north of £250 was also a fun subject! 😂
 
Long story short, we're still married and supports me with my crazy hobby!
 
I'm probably one of the few married blokes in the UK that has a wife that actually knows the real cost of airsoft and all the crap that goes along with it! 😁
 
 

Real milsim would be three days of harbouring up, 30 minutes contact and an afternoon cleaning weapons while the CQMS drinks tea. 

Scotch-brite to the rescue

You forgot the weapons inspection then being made to do it all over again cos some chiseller has rust on the front sight...

Someone has never been to sennybridge...

so much spam.
Without egg and chips,
It got the ban.

 

is that the blue steel or magnum?

Not enough pout, must be magnum 😗

Everyone loves an MP7 right!? 
 
I don't think I'm going to paint this one...
 
 

A lot of retailers will make you wait 2+ weeks for the courier to investigate before giving you a refund.
 
Most won't refund until they have been compensated themselves.
