The full NGRS line up, the L119 needs some firming up and a once over internally but externally happy. Super pleased with the longer modern upper, nice to have an AR setup where an LPVO doesn’t look out of place.

HSP Flatpack arrived today which sees my PC finished. Been looking at the options available for carrying hydration and a can or 2 of gas as my GBBR usage increases. Having tried out the Ferro hydration pouch and the flatpack, the flatpack wins out purely because it’s more versatile (though the Ferro one is lovely).
 

 
List of bits is:
Ferro Concepts FCPCv5
Ferro Concepts Assault Cummerbund
Ferro Concepts KTAR Front Flap
Ferro Concepts Padded Strap Socks
AXL Advanced Admin Zipper
Spiritus Systems Small GP Pouch
Esstac KYWI Single Tall Mag Pouch
Haley Strategic Flatpack 2.0
SORD TED Pouch

Generic jeans and checked shirt from CQB a couple of weekends ago, this was the last hurrah for the MWS. Running a long boi when half the field is HPA Hicapas with AR mag adapters was certainly an experience, was a big  ‘I guess times are definitely changing’ moment for me.

A couple from a few weekends back, big into the Platatac Tigers and black Ferrosi combo for outdoors at the moment.
 

 

Spare upper for the NGRS arrived today. Purely an aesthetic change for running an LPVO (awaiting arrival of) as they historically look a bit wank an a shorter RIF in my opinion. Wouldn’t be shocked if this upper eventually ends up getting a carry handle grafted onto it 🤷🏻‍♂️.
 

 
And a big ol’ patch for the back of the PC
 

Aliexpress FleaOTech 3x magnifier. Very definitive click when flipped to the side, perfectly clear to look down.
EOTech logo is a bit bigger than my Holy Warrior XPS & has a slightly shinier finish overall, but great otherwise.
My stock is slightly shorter than a buffer tube, so don't need to have it as far back.

Same but different I guess.
 
I'm a 'player' ahead of anything else in the hobby, a fairly active/aggressive (i.e. like being in the mix, not that I'm wandering around jonesing for a scrap) one at that, and tend to head out at least twice a month and often more than that. I enjoy the gear side of things more than RIFs, so always keep the RIFs I have on deck to a minimum. It's been an NGRS plus one other 'primary' and the trusty TM Glock for a while and that's about as deep of the 'collection' ever goes, I just keep what I actually use. The MWS ended up getting used more because I felt I needed to justify keeping it than it was that I actively wanted to. I do always like to have a back up should whatever I want to use die on the day, and streamlining batteries and mags across the board feels like even more convenience on top of the NGRS just being the best all round option for what I'm looking for in a RIF that sees regular use.
 
And none of that is to downplay how good the MWS is, purely my personal preferences and experiences from juggling the two different RIFs over the last 2 years or so.

Can appreciate that, I’m currently in the process of downsizing, playing less etc and need “one rifle to rule them all”.
 
The MWS is staying for now but an NGRS is ticking some major boxes.
 
Both your uppers look very nice!

Ta very much, I was expecting it to be decent but very impressed with the quality (the blue leather used is much thicker than I'd expected).
 
It is indeed, truthfully it came with the upper and I was expecting to replace it. But it seems solid so it'll probably stay. Only real negative is that there are only 2 mlok slots on the top diagonal sections (i guess they'd be the 1:30 and 10:30 positions on a clock 🤷‍♂️). Not really an issue as I've just used a ranger band, but that did mean I couldn't use the thing I'd usually slap on to keep my tape switch in check (Magpul tape switch cover thing) because there weren't enough mlok sections where I like to run my switches.
 
The NGRS has been my 'daily driver' for as long as I can remember, I'd hoped to move over to the MWS filling that role like all the other cool folks... but GBBRs just aren't for me. I'm not too proud to admit I just like having (read as, have come to rely on) more mag capacity and just generally find the NGRS more convenient for how I play. So yeah, have sold up on MWS bits and have a second NGRS on the way (L119A1 flavour, very jazzy) so I'll have the short boi, long boi and old boi. Probably the most content I've been with my RIF line up since starting the hobby 15 or so years ago which is a nice spot to be in.

Been toying with picking one of these up for a while, so finally did.
