    It sure is a dark bronze, it’s lovely infact.

    Yup it sure does look nice..... it's similar to the madbull colour if not the same... they probably use the same RAL codes?

     

    The fundamental problem with the Mk18 MWS is that the hop rubber can't be changed easily coz you can't get the bloody rail off and ergo the barrel out. That is correct yes? 

  2. Otherwise a tungsten carbide cutting bit should do it... but be careful you don't nick the barrel or rail...

    Dremel do a cutting/milling bit which will eat up the metal easily...

     

     

  3. Damn! That’s the infamous MK18 with the almost impossible barrel nut isn’t it? I would have suggested using the correct tool to remove it but that may not be possible now as you’ve lost the teeth.

    Those rubber sleeves look interesting. But a tenner a pop hmmmm a lot for what they are. 🤔

    It’s a jungle out there I tell. Full of ‘commie’ squirrels! Evil buggers!

    You leaving it on irons?

     

    Its 3 tone BTW - i spy OD XTMs :D (or is it just camera/screen colour)

     

    Haha busted, i do have black XTMs on the bottom of the rail. 
     

    I won’t be leaving it on irons. I have options of red dots, ACOG and a strike eagle depending on the theatre of engagement I’ll be in at the time. 

  6. Added a Magpul grip and I must admit I’m beginning to really like the two tone. I’m just waiting on some MK18 KAC type sights to turn up and then that’s her done. If I could wrap the mags in a tan colour that would be epic but doubt that’s gonna happen

    Being completely new I had planned on renting till I knew what I wanted to buy and not get 2 tone, but I think the waiting is getting to me! Probably going to buy some second hand bits just to get into teching with to get me into the hobby and keep the boredom away! Just need to get the funds to keep the wife off my back! Haha. 


    Bribery with flowers always helps ;)

    Thank you mate. 😊

     

    A genuine Eotech 551 is as rare as hens teeth!

     

    I lost out on a Aimpoint Comp M4 on eBay which was annoying, and was looking at a Comp M2 for sale via Instagram but I just can't justify in my head putting down £350 plus on an old optic of unknown age with no warranty whatsoever. 

     

    So instead although obviously not correct due to its age etc I'm leaning towards a Vortex StrikeFire 2 as it's almost identical to a Comp M2 but with all the advantages that come with a brand new optic and Vortex's VIP warranty. 

     

    There was a chap selling a SF2 here... don't know if its still here or sold... could be worth a punt? I have both a RS EoTech 557 and a COMP M2 and can never decide which one to bloody use lol. If I'm being honest the old school M2 just looks the biz as its so Black Hawk Down if you get my drift...

  9. I ended up buying a bunch of tan NGRS PAMGS.... yup tan.... and guess what? I've got no tan gun for them to go on.... you can see where I'm going with this.... lockdown boredom is bad.... Doomed I tell ya doomed....

    I did the same 😆

    Genuinely thought to myself that I didn't want anything else.

    A month later...

     

    I really think I'm done now

    Until the S&T Enfield is out 😉 (If its decent)

     

    Ohhhhh Enfield ;)

    Update on my MRE build...

     

    Early GWOT vibes!

     

    G&P Kac style suppressor, Hogue pistol grip, and Car-15 stock with the obligatory cable tied rubber pad.

     

    Also fitted the excellent SixG super nub ordered from Dave and received very promptly, cheers bud! 👍

    Coming along nicely. Have you decided on the optics yet?

  11. MWS grip. I’m trying to get it off, the grip that is, just thought I’d clarify that quickly 😂

     

    I’ve had a look at the Eagle6 getting it off video (sounds so wrong) but wanted to know which Allen key is needed to get the blasted bolt off. I don’t want to buy a new ratchet set if I can help it though. 
     

    Oh figured I’d change the Marui grip for a tan Magpul MOE grip (GBBR version).

  12. Remember the good old days when we used to talk about people’s TM recoils and ripping the guts out of them and slapping in so many upgrades that the TM fairies all died in a horrible prommy death and then trying to sell the gun for £1k coz that’s how much was spent on it. Don’t ya miss them days. Don’t ya?  <Insert TM fairy dust emoji>

    And in other news.....  Elsa has popped up to build a snowman coz of the abundant snowflakes falling 😂😂😂
     

    Edit: Now I can’t get that bloody song out my head.... see what you’ve all gone and done 😂

  13. This is the best I can do using my iPhone. Trying to focus on the reticle was a pain. As we all know the EOTech reticule image is made up of lots of holographic dots. It’s not a perfect reticule and there is a small amount of flare if that’s the right word to use.

    This thread is nothing but toxic bullying. If someone overprices an item, and it doesn’t sell, it’s down to them. Not the ‘price police’ to shame people. 


    On a serious note (yes we can be) this thread aims to bring a level of acceptable checking to keep our community safe. We do not bully nor are we keyboard warriors. This thread is here to help people make an informed decision.
