Aye, HAO make one. Certainly not cheap, but I'm sure folks that really get their Jimmies rustled by it are excited it exists.

Didn't you 'tap out' 2 hours ago? Fuck off.

I largely disagree entirely with this statement. In my opinion you should put more effort into researching eye pro than you should any RIF you ever purchase.
 
I wouldn't personally entrust my vision to anything made by Valken or Nuprol, QC is my main concern here. Bolle and Revision are both brands known to be up to the task, worth considering how much you tend to sweat/how likely you are to fog protective eyewear up. Not being able to see where you're going/what you're pointing your shooty stick at/moving your eye pro to clear fog is just as dangerous as wearing inappropriate eyewear. Assuming you value your vision, take some time, look at testimonials and go from there.
 
Also worth considering the shape of your face when picking up eye pro, uncomfortable protective equipment will happily ruin your day.

Oooooft, this hit me right in the childhood.

For all the Oldies on here, this is the equivalent to settling an argument on Goldeneye.

I am absolutely baffled how a post saying words to the effect of 'you don't need a RIF with a longer barrel to perform well in woodland games, but if you want to buy one go for it' turned into this. But whatever, at the rip roaring age of 30 I'm clearly very senile and that's somehow a statement that needed to be debated... for 2 entire pages.
 
I wish you good luck with whatever it is you wind up buying, I for one am thoroughly looking forward to using my 'specialised platform' at my next CQB games. I've seemingly been incorrectly calling it a pistol, but now I know better...  so thanks for that.

Picked up a new hop up unit. Thing is fairly robust, beats the Lonex and Retro Arms for build quality. 
 
 

The ‘science of airsoft’ when it comes to optimisation ultimately lands with volume matching to make sure that little cushion of air of shoves your BB along is Bob on, or as close as you can get, for the weight of BB you’re using.
 
There’s a whole lot of snake oil and horse shit out there in regard to what a longer barrel actually does and I was simply trying to offer some advice because your initial post stated you were ‘under the assumption’ that you might have to buy a different RIF to play in the woods.
 
Gauging the tone as best I can it seems like somehow you’ve taken offence to that, so I’ll go ahead and exit the conversation there at the risk of ‘flexing my knowledge’ too much again.

Your 'SMG' is exactly the same on the inside as many other guns, irrespective of their length. That's the point. Your gun is not fucking special. Or in any way a 'specialised'. It's a generic M4 that takes SMG mags. That's it.

No, the fact everything you’re saying only serves to spread misinformation is doing that for you.
 
Your ‘specialised platform’ is a version 2 gearbox (with a proprietary tappet plate) and a 6.05 217mm inner barrel, all wrapped up to make it not look entirely like an AR outside... while being precisely that on the inside.
 
You’ve made it very clear you think you know better, so you go ahead and do whatever suits you best.
 
P.S. The Mk23 doesn’t have good range and accuracy ‘for a pistol’, it has good range and accuracy ‘for an airsoft replica’.

North West Custom Parts, I will note that the payment process is a little odd. You add to your cart, complete the order and then do a bank transfer to the chap that runs the shop. I was cautious at first but I've ordered a few stocks from him and they've all arrived in good time.
 
Edit: For clarity, the stock was from NWCP, the extended buttpad and PTS grip from Firesupport and the sling and magpuls from Tactical Kit.

Truthfully it may well be going of for the folks at Eagle6 to do, I'd rather pay someone with experience of doing it right than potentially bodge it myself and wind up having to source (and foot the bill for) more parts. Also spares me the burden of the rewiring and what not, this is my first AEG in years so as much as I'll be looking to figure out how to do the tech work myself I'm more inclined to do that on RIFs without such a high price tag.
 
But yeah, these days I'd always go genuine article over repro stuff. Just a personal preference, nothing against folks that opt for the repro kit. One of the biggest fallacies in airsoft is that all repro kit is bad... equally matching that is that all repro kit is good. Very much a case by case basis, but sorting the good from the bad will often wind up costing you as much as it would have to just buy the genuine stuff.

Yessir. In the grand scheme of stocks there are ones I definitely prefer over the CTR (BCM Gunfighter and B5 Systems), but it seems hard to beat in terms of a battery solution for the NGRS.

A few bits for my NGRS and another Ferro Slingster, this one in M81. I hate that fall for such marketing tactics as ‘limited editions’, but I needed a sling for the AKSU and find M81 hard to resist at the best of times.
