Not my image: but here's one such build And in a (slightly melancholic) blast from the past here's Aitch's build.

Platatac on ebay. Just snagged a pair of brand new Tac Dax 3 in RG for £60 including postage, making them the same price as viper etc. Sizes are limited as they look to be overruns on a run for the DEA but £33 buy it now plus postage is ridiculously cheap........

I'm pretty sure people used to use the g36 m4 magwell converters and the use short VN 20rd style mags as battery packs. IIRC there was a team of airsoft/larpers that did Imperial Guard as a loadout.

15fps/ +-7.5fps seems a pretty big discrepancy, especially given that a lot of the "Scuba Steves" seem able to get to +-1fps?

Finished my shorty CQB upper for my MTR. Thanks to everyone for helping with stupid questions and random queries. Ideally I'd have like to do a proper job but sadly no-one makes most of the bits needed for a 100% accurate Spikes Tactical Compressor upper.

As I've mentioned on his gear thread for £300 I'd be expecting that to be a literal ton of pouches cos the rest is worth nowhere near the asking price even brand new.

My guess; It's either a scam, fucked, stolen or being flogged for what "someone" was told was paid for it.....

@Boristhedriver from experience the best thing you can do is nudge your own team mates towards "calling that" especially on day 2

From experience I'm gonna say don't even bother trying to run anything with limited ammo there. Even the staff there have admitted to me it's pointless to run anything other than hi-caps. Back on topic a while back I was talking to someone on here about about acquiring a stock TM MWS inner barrel with an eye towards cutting it down.

£130 for a WE glock that still has WET trades as well as some semi-Glock trades. Nah..... I'll pass.

SO having read and caught up with the last 3 pages...... Is it maybe time that as a hobby we started to look for a recognised teching qualification?

echigoya "might" be your friend. I picked up a TM NGRS SOCOM on free shipping which even after customs fees saved me about a ton on the firesupport price (granted customs only cost me £23.50 somehow)......

My intention is to replace the rail with something a bit sleeker anyway to be honest. I'm hoping to get the MTR specific barrel and ris mount assembly off un-brutalised but if necessary I'm willing to move into the realms of "extreme prejudice".

There's threadlock..... then there's the barrel nut on that solidly I suspect its been welded. Anyone know how cerakote handles heat? Thinking about getting a blowtorch on it......

MTR specific question, how in god's name do you get the barrel nut off? Seriously even with the correct tool Ive had stop before I mangle it..... On a related note what the hell are the wierd not quite Torx screws on the MTR as well?

problem with ACM stuff is how "variable" it can be. I know of people who've run 1000s of rounds with ACM eotechs on gbbr's and recoils with no issues and others who've had them fail on the first trigger pull. The vortex Sparc is more expensive than ACM red dots.... but will survive stuff like this...... https://www.recoilweb.com/vortex-sparc-ii-the-dot-that-would-not-die-67267.html

@UKCYukarin IF your budget can stretch to it Vortex do some very good budget sights aimed at the RS market but with an unlimited lifetime warranty that will be honoured for anything short of deliberate abuse. I'm torn between running a RS eotech and a Vortex Sparc AR on the CQB upper I showed off earlier

Technical question, the screw that holds the hop base into the upper reciever (m2.6 x 6) is it just a normal machine screw thread on it? I ask because frankly Eagle6 can go eat a dick asking £4 for it and I'm not keen on shipping a 75p component from impulse101 in japan.

For those interested the dry fit of my cqb upper. Just need the tiny screw that holds the hop base in place and an inner barrel now.

Hopefully the last of my random questions, building a cqb upper focused on accuracy and consistancy at 40m and less on a .25, I've got a complete gunsmodify hop unit, base etc on the way, a modify tan bucking and am looking at trying to find an Orga lex 6.05...... So looking at a 7 to 8 inch barrel set up will I do better to chop the stock tm barrel for the cqb build and then get a full length lex plus the uprated internals in the stock mtr upper or will getting a #50 barrel cut down make a noticable difference?

@itsme It'll be designed to run most efficiently on R134/R144a. The Japanese police have a habit of getting a serious sad on with anyone making or supplying bits capable of running above 1Joule. Running it on propane etc will probably be fine but is outside the design specs. For reference pure R134 @ 21degrees should be approx 71.2psi gauge pressure.

@LVOA-D I know you changed your forward assist for a Strike industries one, I don't suppose you still have the original TM parts?

Thinking out loud here and after noticing a complete lack of spare upper recievers for MWS's at the moment. If I was to buy and and split a MWS would anyone be interested in A) a complete lower, B) a front end including inner barrel but without hop unit? How much would people see as reasonable pricing and which model would be more desirable from the point of view of selling the front end?

I had hoped that would be the case. Just didn't want to build an upper that was incapable of consistancy.
