Who are you? Why is this information important to you? Do you work for a manufacturer or a retailer? A bit of info would be appreciated as not everyone is into clicking random links.

I've made up boxes and just zip tied guns into them.

£15-20 + p&p

I have a Stalker suit in brown oak. I gather it has been tweaked a little bit since the photos on the site were taken as I feel the colour is a little lighter IRL. It's a nice suit imo. The colour is a really good match for dead leaf litter. It's a different league from anything on Aliexpress. If you don't want to mess around with Russian leaf suits like SOKL, Stich Profi, Limkom, random FSB stuff then the Stalker suits are a nice, easy to acquire option. Alternatively, there is Lapa Gear stuff from Ukraine which look pretty decent. But might come in over your budget with delivery, VAT, customs etc. They do a nice range of styles and colours. Some nice features like zips for tucking away a section of the front for chest ring/PC mag access. I'll probably pick up one of their greener leaf suits at some point. https://lapa-gear.com.ua/

WGC have a notes section when you order where you can put your UKARA number. You'll have to pay Parcel Force when customs charges are raised this end.

There's the Maruzen PPK and the VFC PPK/S.

Have a look at Pew Tactical on AliExpress. They do clones of Haley Strategic, Ferro Concepts, Spiritus Systems and Crye. I have a couple of bits from them and it's decent for the price.

It's A 100% not TM. TM only deal with customers and distributors in Japan.

I hear pretty much universal praise for Nuprol AR mags surprisingly. I imagine 99% of Nuprol stuff is crap but it seems the mags are decent.

That's an M-LOK rail. It has picatinny rail at 12 O clock and you can either direct mount an accessory (like the pictured vertical grip) or mount rail pieces to the M-LOK cuts to mount stuff to. Obviously direct M-LOK is preferable. More streamlined, aesthetic etc.

NSPA stuff doesn't have the black label iirc.

Does anyone know where I can source a battery for an A&K M249 box mag? (nutsack). Doesn't need to be an A&K one, just one that works. I can't find much about them but I believe it's a male JST-BEC connector with 4x HR03 cells (AAA sized) NiMh. 4.8V.

Do you not think it was a little OP to have have the red team made up of two, primarily cohesive large teams? Not that I'm bitter about being on one of the losing teams at all 😛

The 7.62 VFC AR GBBRs are somewhat notorious for cracking the lower at the rear take down pin but I gather VFC have strengthened this area on the m110k1 so I'd go for that one.

Arnies is still quite active. But only with spammers and their gummie links sadly. A wealth of info on there.

NAF is...somewhat unique. Have you considered doing weekend milsims? Generally 24H games.

Agree with the above. Even doing 60h Trees events which are probably the most demanding events in the UK in terms of duration and activity, I've never felt the need for a Camel Bak. I've got on perfectly well with canteens and bottled water. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure some people love them but they're not that necessary imo.

If someone is shooting at you with something that can pen a Camel Bak, whoever is in charge of the chrono needs firing.

The best deals have all gone now I'm afraid. £200 is likely the best price you'll find XPIs with comms.

Recently, a load of new in box Comtac XP and XPIs were dumped on eBay for very cheap. I picked up some XPIs with mic and downlead for £160. I need to change the connector on the downlead to work with my PTT but still a bargain. So take a look, maybe make an offer on one that is on best offer and you'll get a pair of excellent ear pro for pretty cheap. Understandably, this has kind of tanked the market, even if only briefly so you might be able to get some used XPs for sub £100.

Interesting. Thanks everyone. I asked Rainbow 8 if I could could get this https://www.rainbow8.com/products/maple-leaf-crazy-jet-aerodynamic-6-04mm-inner-barrel-w-hop-up-chamber-complete-set-for-marui-g17-97mm?_pos=19&_sid=1f5578248&_ss=r but put this hop rubber in it https://www.rainbow8.com/products/maple-leaf-2023-transformers-autobot-hop-up-rubber-for-vsr-gbb-60-70-75?variant=44559268413610 So I could get a 50 degree as 60 degree seems excessive. They replied saying it wouldn't work as the hop rubbers are different. So I thought I'd just get it and use the 60 degree that comes with it. I asked what is the compatible hop rubber to use when that hop rubber needs replacing and they said to use this one https://www.rainbow8.com/products/maple-leaf-2023-ver-mr-hop-rubber-bucking-for-marui-we-vsr-10-50-60-70-75?variant=45169997840554 A Mr Hop. Not an Autobot. Have I missed something or are they misunderstanding?

Nah. Leave them be. It's very handy to be able to scroll back years of sales to get prices for things. Especially obscure, no longer in production stuff. I guess you mean sold rather than expired as plenty of stuff is still for sale on expired adverts that the seller just hasn't bumped. It literally says it might still be available...

We should not be contemplating changing things for the sake of a few with room temp IQs that cannot comprehend what expired means. Leaving completed and expired sales posts is invaluable as already mentioned.

Have you tried this out in the field yet?

I have a couple of Gen 3 TM G17s and I find the hop up performance somewhat meh. I'm not trying to lift anything crazy, just 0.3s and it's just not doing it. I appreciate these are a little old now so I'm wondering if these are from a time prior to TM GBBs being able to lift 0.4s+ easily OOTB? Do I need to get a Mapleleaf chamber, barrel and hop set to get the most out of them?
