Cromulon1994

This is the sight picture.

Done and weathered

I'm about 90% done on this now, star wars DLT 20 inspired thing. I'll probably change the stock, was going to keep it but it will just finish it off, tomorrow it gets weathered. The barrel is chemically blackened, and just needs its heat colouration adding. There's a functional laser in the small diameter tube on top of the vented outer barrel, a tracer unit, and a nerf sight maguivered onto the front of a red dot. Other little greeblies have been added, and there's a couple still to go on. A circuit board from something, the flash moderator is mounted where they put them on the film m16 based guns. So it's all functional. And it's all pretty solid.

Not after 3d printed parts, after a metal build, and kitbashed the old fashioned way. More fun.

Another one. Twice the going rate of a new one imported (still relatively avaible from Asian retailers) Aaand, the market for posh pistols has pretty much evaporated.

Started making headway into my dlt20 inspired rifle. Couldnt find an agm stg44 l, and even then they're a bit "meh" so base is an ics c15. Fore end is home made to the sizes of an m1919 barrel shroud. Got halfway through making a steel one and burnt out that many drill bits I restarted with aluminium. Still to be done are side panels, top tube, a sight arrangement more like the film guns, and an inbuilt torch and laser hidden in some of the "greeblie" bits. There will be no 3d printed or resin bits on this one. I will probably keep the stock original as I like it. Everything will then be disassembled, polished and then chemically blackened. I'm about 6 hours into this already. And it has a tracer hidden in the shroud.

Kwc Lugers a quite solid but you aren't getting any spares for it. Tis dead.

Dammit I've just found that absolute gold and I thought macks was where it needed to be. Seems you got there first. 80 quid new on Taiwan gun. His ageing job is wank.

Bought an ICS C15. It's old tech but tbh less to go wrong and they had a reputation of being rather good when they were new. I want it for an a280 or DLT20 type build. Probably more DLT20 as I can hide a conventional tracer unit inside the m1919 style barrel. I wish I'd not started watching the mandalorian now

If it's one of the official vinyl ones then they take bb hits perfectly fine. Better than some actual airsoft masks to be honest. Just cut mesh eyes and bonded it inside the mask, and drilled a few small vent holes around the nose mouth and chin. And then tested. I once bought a face mask from patrol base that when I tested (with a 280fps pistol) the bb went straight through the eye protection.

It's 20 years old and all original. Tbh I'd rather it come with the standard bazookas and deal with it myself than without them and some shite ebay stubbies.

Sold most of my gear to help raise money for a new bike, really slimmed it down. Just have an evo and a couple of grenades and a claymore. I regret nothing.

Yes, it was a great deal. Parting a few bits out from it that I dont need so if you want a cheap official hardcase let me know.

I've gone back to a scorpion evo. Predictable, common, a bit dull looking but they perform very very well. And I really like the last round stop function. I got one with the evo hardcase, 9 mags, eotech clone and a few other bits for £250 so I'm pretty happy.

This is from about 9 months ago, maybe more, but I found a pic of the GBB Uzi I cobbled together. My TM trigger broke, so I bought a kwc mini Uzi, and made this work. The bolts cocked on the photo, it fires from an open bolt but it's not full travel.

I totally understand that. Yes, using the breacher system. It wouldn't exactly be hard for marui to do, and a metal spas would sell like crazy. Wouldn't even need to be semi auto.

What do you struggle with? Is it the force to cock or the playstyle?

Sold the sten. Relented and bought another TM spas 12 with folding stock, because they're just awesome. This will be my 3rd. 4th if I count the double Eagle one and 5th if we count the maruzen hybrid. Must... Not... Sell... This... One.... Realsword proving that the Chinese can make decent quality stuff. Probably the best quality out of the box stuff around.

A Walter ppk/s.... Gindan gun. Good for 8 meters... 0.25s sort of float in mid air. Actually bought for a welrod build, which I intend to use as an alternative to a melee weapon but it can do the same thing for now.

Model 3... A man of taste.

Probably no point as anyone who searches northeast sten will find this. But basically 300 fps on 0.25g bb using ultra Air gas. Lovely recoil It's built like a sten, so it it what it is. Personally I really like it. Range seems decent but it needs bedding in. Will comfortably fire off a magazine in this cold weather on semi without any gas issues. Full auto is OK for short bursts but fails afterwords, but it's 3C so it's understandable. Fires from an open bolt as it should, 32rd mags as per original. Hopefully Northeast will release an mp40 that takes these mags too. The magazines have to be set to have a bolt stop function by stripping and re assembling with a pin in the bolt stop hole. That's in the instruction manual. It suggests this puts more stress on the gun, but we will see. I will weather it very soon. I have a pistol grip and a wood mk5 foregrip that was also retrofitted to mk2 models on the way. Strips exactly like the real gun. I'm not a re enactor, just a fan of old guns.

Recently got my hands on the northeast sten. First RIF I bought 7 years ago was an AGM Sten aeg. This is a major improvement. I'll put a review up in the relevant section.
