Nice looking piece of kit. Curious as to what price tag these end up going for? Real Sword seems to be a thing of the past, whilst E&L's offering seemed to be vapourware. Should do well if it's a decent performer. Will fill the Dragunov niche for a good few players.

Could do with some more info. What's the brand of Scar and your own budget? The in line mosfets from Gate such as the ASR or Nanohard are quite decent for the price.

From what I vaguely recall from some video reviews, is that the king arms G3 magazines fit with potentially some mild filing. Might be worth picking up a single sample to try?

Is it an XCR? Something like the following: https://www.fire-support.co.uk/product/echo1-vfc-robinsons-armament-xcr-aeg-airsoft-gun

Good call on the Casio. A few years ago, some friends and myself got a couple of them before a milsim. Did the trick nicely. For a normal weekend would use whichever Seiko is my least favourite at the moment. Less annoyed if it gets shot out. Would also usually wear a strap, the bracelets can be a bit of a BB magnet. Lately using a Marine Nationale strap. Comfortable and would retain a watch if a springbar fails.

From what I vaguely recall was about three or four in Taiwan. Something like BLS/G&G/others like Airsoft surgeon. With regards ASG think they are manufactured in the East and then "processed" in Denmark.

Yeah, good call as regards different lines. With Geoffs some claim their precision line is the same as the BLS ones. While their super precision is from a different producer. Also there can be drought of particular weights of BBs. Then suddenly three or four different brands get a restock. Wouldn't be too conspiracy like to imagine quite a few of them come from the same source. The food comparison is a good one. No point upgrading your primary to a high extent only to plug in a weedy lipo and run it with a poor match of BB. Excellent, that was the thread I was thinking of. Find AATV to be thoroughly entertaining lads, who are good to reply to comments and interact. Used their non bio video to select a few brands to test. Still your experience would certainly give me a degree of hesitancy in trying 6mm. One of the shortcomings is even if you find a good BB, it might not necessarily be in stock year round.

That was an interesting video as regards the Bio BBs. There seemed to be a broad selection that was decent, a few that were worse and a handful that were better. There certainly seemed to be less performance variation than the non bio equivalents video. Possible fewer OEMs actually cranking out the Bios or a degree of consolidation in the firms producing the ammo? Was intrigued by how well the Ares BBs did as recall a thread where a user had some dodgy specimens among his bag. What I find complicates it further is both different brands and their weight performance. Had some companies where the lighter (0.25 & 0.28) ammo performed very well. Went up to their 0.30g offering and had jams and fliers galore. Have settled on G&G 0.28g BBs for support guns. Still trialing different stuff for rifles.

That's good. As you noted some of the weatherproofing can be a bit worse for wear. You occasionally see listings where the chest rig almost looks black.

The bb count might be the constraining factor. Perhaps a Jefftron leviathan? Used a V3 one successfully in the past.

Have collected a bit of SADF kit in the past, including some 32 and Recce kit. Reckon you could easily get £100 if you wanted a quick sale, considerably north of that if you're patient. Is their any stickiness to the webbing? Some of the more niche South African webbing can suffer from it.

Just to play devil's advocate, keep it. Compensation for emotional distress and time spent checking updates, emails etc.

Was the cylinder the wrong way round?

Wouldn't mind an aeg version, probably would replace everything bar the gearbox shell and selector plate. Could see G&G having a go at one. They have made the FNC in the past. Also the M14 and Type 64, so they have history with 7.61x51 models.

Can see certain lines becoming limited edition in the future.

Good for his profit margins presumably. Krytac are also planning a P90 next month. Would probably go for that one if I was in the hunt for one.

Most recent detail I can remember is Red Wolf having a webchat with one of the members of the company. They were claiming a September or October release. At the moment they seem to be concentrating on their new BCM range.

That faux wood is better than I thought it would be.

Fair point. Classic army SportsLine models were about that. Still remember paying £29 a pop for Galil magazines. Had to import them from Greece. Would have been before the explosion of Cyma kit.

Yeah, quite often seen people prop a rifle against a tree and move in with a pistol for example. As regards thievery, one example comes to mind. A friend was showing off some kit in the boot of his car and another party saw fit to pilfer a midcap. Dropped it into his dump pouch and sauntered off. Said friend went to have have a word with the lads running the site. The guy with the nimble fingers left the site early at lunch. Peculiar thing over a MAG AK midcap.

They look nice. Imagine the MP5 series will be next year. If I had to wager on their next release I would say the SVD series. An airsoft Youtuber has one of them. Still opens up the possibility of a LCT HK21 or PSG-1. Hoping 2022 might see some FN FAL releases.

That's very annoying to happen. Had one of mine go recently, the saving grace was that it was just a basic model. Picked up a Perun Hybrid V3 to give it a go in the future.

Great stuff. Glad they are still expanding their shotgun line.

Harry1 really wants a GBBR.

Perhaps it's the solder that is the problem? Picked up a spool of cardas eutectic solder a while back and find it fantastic stuff.
