It’s a TM, bought in Tokyo and used in Tokyo..... the magic TM dust is at FULL POWAAAA!!! i would sure like to see it in action, wouldn’t like to get hit by it though.

Been dipping a toe into DIY teching, tried spraying for the first time. G&G SOC M14 tiger stripe attempt #1. I'll install the longer barrel group once I get the gearbox sorted out, using the short SOC barrel assembly here to see how the stock looks with everything installed.

After getting a cheap G&G M14 SOC that didn't work, bought another one that does! Also picked up a cheap Tactical vest for my son as I stole his battle belt.

Already done, I'm going to convert it to deans and am thinking of getting a MOSFET in there too. There's another issue going on though, out of the stock it fires fine, install everything in the stock and it fires one shot and locks up, bit of a head scratcher.

Jesus wept, how that G&G GR14 Socom gearbox went back together I do not know! Should be warning on the box '3 people needed for assembly's Anyway, got the replacement tappet plate from Fire Support yesterday, piston o-rings and shims from AK2M4 and got them installed. Waiting on the battery to charge to see if it will fire and cycle. Previous owner re-painted the stock Krylon drab olive, I'm thinking of re-doing it with an old skool Tiger Stripe camo pattern, thoughts anyone?

Just picked up a used G&G Socom M14 that needs some attention. Great bundle though, got a soft bag, charger, battery, bipod and picatinny scope mounts that weren't mentioned in the ad thrown in. Looks and feels like a proper rifle, the charging handle action, lock and release sounds incredible.

TM 5.1 Hicapa, totally stock, first gas gun, can see what all the hype is about after taking it for a skirmish yesterday. Admittedly my son and I put more rounds down the chrono range than we did in game but it is a lovely bit of kit right out of the box.

Tried to buy a nice looking TM Hicapa 5.1 in the classifieds, missed it. Bought a JW3 Taran tactical Yadda Yadda longest named pistol on the planet, sent it back for being shite. Tried to buy a TM Gold Match Hicapa in the classifieds, missed out again Bought a TM Hicapa 5.1, finally! Going to run it bog standard on green gas till one of us breaks.

Just got word from the Krytac distributor Shield that my replacement lower hand guard had arrived in country so paid for that. Also bought a few kg’s of .2’s and .25’s and a deans wired triple stick 11.1v Lopo as I seem to have messed up the one I re-wired to deans. Cheapo camo poncho in case it’s chucking down on game day and last but not least ordered 3 mid cap S mags for the Specna and a single point sling for the LMG.

Got an order in with our resident parts guru ak2m4, Super Lube SHS nozzle SHS cylinder head O-rings Hopefully will sort the compression problems in the Krytac LMG-E.

Ha, that's hilarious, I haven't actually handled it yet, the photo was taken by my wife so I could check what was in the box, I'm sure I will figure it out once I get my mits on it!! Good spot BTW! Either that or trying to make everyone look smaller instead of larger, give them a fighting chance!

Bought off a fellow forum user, my first RIF, looked like a good deal and he was a pleasure to do business with. The Krytac LMG-E, holo sight and case has a new home, and despite missing a lower handguard (which I have already sourced) it looks cracking! Might look into a folding keymod bipod to hang off each side of the handguard to give it more of a support weapon look, but then again may keep it light as with the semi and auto capability it should be manageable indoors and out. Being able to run off regular Stanag mags is a bonus too, seems very adaptable, can't wait to get home and try it out (damn thing arrived the day after I left the UK for work, 3 weeks to go!)

There’s no ‘What have you just got for ‘nowt’ thread so I will stick it here. Friend of mine is ex chinook crew, was chatting to him about our Airsoft experience and he says he has some old kit that would fit my son if I wanted it. Got a flight suit, goretex DPM jacket and trousers, DPM summer shirt and trousers, aircrew issue DPM jacket, desert cam shirt and trousers and a desert smemagh (the only damn thing that fits me). If he can find it there’s some webbing on the way too, my boy’s a lucky lad.

Is it just me or does the foregrip rail/barrel look like it’s at the wrong angle, looks bent?

Patrol Base had a Specna Edge sale on 6 or 7 weeks back at similar pricing, the all black versions sold out pretty fast (that's when I got mine) so it is probably just leftover stock. Well worth the cost IMHO though I have just started out and don't have a lot of experience with anything else to compare it with.

Just ordered an Acetech AC6000 chronograph, should help figuring out if my teching efforts are having any effect.

@StayOnTargetNot been able to try it out at range, only in the confines of my double garage with the lights out! It worked surprisingly well, the BB's were easy to make out, and on full auto it was like a Star Wars laser blaster going off. Not sure of the utility of it as it'll most likely make it easier for anyone to backtrack the incoming fire, but it does look the dogs bollocks!

Scope arrived, first time teamed up with the G&T tracer suppressor unit, getting there.

This is exactly why I got it, being able to check voltage of individual cells and also discharge the battery to a storage charge were the high points for me.

Bit of a tech load out for my latest; Imax B6 charger to stop the Lipo burning the house down. Pete of AK2M4 lined me up with some ZCI springs and dean's connectors to convert the battery leads. Soldering gun, my old one needed changing. Prowin hop up and Prommy Purple bucking, roll of Teflon tape. And last but not least a MilTec gun bag won off ebay for minimum bid, bargain. The money pit gets deeper by the day!

Just finished cleaning her up after her first days skirmishing. Performed faultlessly, chrono'd at 310 FPS on the day, so a little room for a spring change. Hop up set up was quick and easy. My son ended up running it for most of the day as the rental AK74's were a lot larger. I know it's another 'bloody' M4, and two toned to boot, but it's a great starter AEG and will do well as a back up gun when I get something a little more tasty down the line.

Jeez, someone could have told me this was going to be expensive... No pics of the actual kit unfortunately as I'm away at work, but just had delivered a Specna Arms Edge SA-E04 from Patrol Base, top marks for dispatch, very quick delivery. Currently in discussion with a forum member to take an ACOG sight off his hands that he had up in the classifieds, along with a can and a half of tracer .25's. Really like the look of the M4 platform with the ACOG so worth the punt just for the aesthetics. Chap likes his sniping though so hopefully it's a nice sight. To set the tracers glowing just ordered an ASG G&T tracer suppressor, also from Patrol Base. My reason for picking the 04 was the shorter barrel length as my son may end up using it. Adding the suppressor isn't going to make it look overly long and the only thing better than a bit of PewPew is glowy PewPew in the dark! Aiming (scuse the pun) for this kind of look...
