I'm certainly not holding my breath for marui to drop one given that they have yet to do so with NGRS either. Shame really an NGRS rerelease of the old CAR15 would be of definite interest to me. As alluded to above given the fitment issues Ive heard of I'm definitely not interested in dropping £500 plus on an AG fixed carry handle set.

Looking forward to charity game at UCAP GREENOPS tommorrow...... and for once Im actually packed and prepped. Hopefully unlike the last charity game I attended (at a different site) there won't be any thieving toerags there.

So erm.... Did UKAPU actually get their act together or is it back to "please gib us monies, we totes do stuff behind the scenes that you won't hear of" as a business model again?

The cynical part of me suspects that this is a "the people that have been giving us money actually want us to do something" kinda meeting. But then again 23yrs as an engineer have left me with an overwhelmingly cynical and pessimistic world view.

I suspect the moment a MWS clone with a fixed carry handle becomes available they'll fly off the shelves. Especially given that as I understand it the AG option has fitment issues.

One for the reviews section, no?

Obligatory "got mine" photo. Loving how damn solid the thing is. Now trying not to want an A5 with magpul furniture etc.

Funny story Combat South have previously sold a 2tone systema PTW at retail price plus paint fee. I just sat there and thought mate if you have that much disposable cash seriously just do your 3 games.....

I would argue if the juice was worth the squeeze on the upgrade the gun wouldnt be being sold........

Sadly we all know that if this wasn't an april fools it'd still end up being a Raven 1911 with some wonky trades sold for a ridiculous price in a really nice box.

From emailing LPE I believe they're going to do another run of their suppressor mounts for torches tho from the email I wouldn't hold your breath (hoping to make this year was the phrasing)..... Ideally I was hoping to go for the classic comp m2 and 6p setup but the complete lack of reasonably priced surefire m23 mounts is preventing that.

Thats my SD shipped from Wolf. Now to wait til Im back home in April to actually get my paws on it.

As standard TM's should lift .28s......

Holy necroposts batman......the post you responded too is from 2021. Really not a good idea to put your phone number or email address on a public post on a forum. @Jedi_Master

Yup, from what I understand there's been a lot of input into the Direct Action plate carriers from ex-GROM dudes amd there's certainly a higher quality of build and finish than I was expecting at the price.

In response to the above...... apparently there's even a couple of airsofters who've succesfully purchased item from Special Airsoft Supplies......

I like it, its got a kinda cyberpunk vibe to it...... Im just not convinced by Vorsk. Especially on a gas SMG where tolerances and QC are important........ That said I have both a TMP and an MP9 so Ill prpbs end up picking one up assuming they've fixed the eating return springs and disconnector iissues the KWA original had.

WAS kit is solid, derivative (and IIRC comes out of the same factory as Bulldog and some other cheap brands) however of late their prices are no longer competitive vs the level of build their gear is. LPC for example is currently 195 at uk tactical.... that gets you most of the way to a direct action spitfire (which from personal experience is a lightyear ahead of WAS in build and features and I would argue gives Crye a run for their money), most of the way to an Agilite K19 (no personal experience) or will give you change from a Ferro slickster...... For the purposes of this tho I wouldnt call it a brand to avoid.

I generally tend to carry 4-6 m4 ngrs mids on my kit with spares in my safezone for quick turnaround games. That said it's very rare I use all the rounds although I do also occassionally run the mags in 30 rd mode...... Plus the guys I play with regularly tend to do interoperability of platforms so especially in defensive games being able to spare a couple of mags is useful at times. TLDR version condom theory, rather have and not need than need and not have.

The mids disappeared fast tho. I think it was 10 mins from the restock notification to "out of stock" Fortunately I had signal at work and managed to nab 5.

Anyone looking for the elusive beasts that are mp5 ngrs midcaps the following shop has stock, not affiliated just been trying to get some myself. https://www.skirmshop.es/en/mp5-tokyo-marui-next-gen-magazine-72rds.html

Iirc throwing airsoft parts inside a Deact is reactivating....... Id rather not be the legal test case, especially if the spring is a bit "spicy" or in this case if the police lab playing with the regulator makes the fps go up..... Definitely regard as playing with Fire

To be fair to site operators thats kinda linked to the "herding cats/inability of airsofters to understand safety briefing in 5 game on in 15". Don't get we wrong I remember trying a new site locally (run by company whose name rhymes with "burst and lonely") who thought naming and giving origin stories for each of the marshalls followed by a round of applause was an integral part of the safety brief to paying customers (see also taking the players out of the safe zone into a literally sub-zero temperature area to give a 45min brief).

Is it worth pinning a reccomend not to buy list in here following the recent trend of I've bought a (for example) Raven model XXX and its new out of the box and doesnt work? In my case stuff I wouldn't touch under any circumstances without trying the exact item Im going to buy in the shop first. (Source I've been playing airsoft since 1995 I have a reasonable of experience in buying kit) Raven (any) Nuprol (rebranded WE with slightly more QC than Raven) Vorsk

In his defense if its a cheap eotech clone the reticle is probably clearer and more visible from the front.....
