C-Diddy

I fitted the SixG nub and had to replace the nozzle return spring and the hop clicker spring. Didn't enjoy it ? Just had my NGRS back from KOA and no way I would have attempted that...although I did replace the inner barrel and hop rubber without fuss. It's just not for me.

Cheers @RostokMcSpoonsOne to check. Not meeting til March so fingers crossed

Just after a few pointers from the wider masses. A group of friends and I are all looking to meet up for our first skirmish together in almost four years. As we are spread across the country, we figured the Midlands would be the fairest place to meet up. None of us are CQB fans, preferring a bimble in the woods to room clearing. West Midlands Airsoft The Fob was my first thought, but it looks like it's only open on Sundays, and we need a Saturday game. Can anyone offer any suggestions in this general location? Cheers.

I'm right there with you. Reasonably comfortable on the MWS but no way will I touch my NGRS ?

I think that, or any barrel shim set should solve the issue. I have a G&P MK18 rail that I haven't fitted yet, but the bloke I bought it from was kind enough to include a few shims.

For £13 it's great! Few spins through the washing machine and being left in sunlight will do wonders I imagine. And there's always actually using stuff to give it that worn-in look too ?

Finally got round to picking up a Chicom chest rig for a merc/generic bad guy loadout I'm slowly putting together. £13 well spent and from order to delivery in under 24 hours. Fair play flecktarn.co.uk

If you like it, go for it. Doesn't really matter what anyone else thinks. It makes a change to see something standing out from the rest of the crowd, and, as already pointed out; if you don't like it, change it

I knew a girl like that once Let it go man ?

They have that effect! And just when you think you've done accessorising, you see someone else's build and think ? "that'd look good on mine"

100%. I use a Slingster with my MWS and a padded BFG VCAS on my NGRS. No way I'm trusting over a grands worth of pew to a £10 sling. Use good hardware with slings too. First time out tomorrow with the MWS eh @MAX DICKER? Your face is going to hurt from all the grinning you'll be doing after each trigger pull ?

Sensible to wait. And three extra mags? Do I smell a Fire Support deal? That's where I got mine from...with the three extra mags. And don't worry about getting the front sight off. They come off just fine. I'd always advise a two-point sling as they're more versatile. Much easier to sling your weapon on your back or get it tight to your body. They also won't nail you in the nuts if you drop your rifle to go to your pistol! That's just my opinion though and it depend on your playing style. Something like the Magpul MS3 sling can switch from a two point to a one point, so that may be an option?

Absolutely right! Buy whatever you can afford, or whatever makes you happy. I'm all for that. The Raptor Tactical gear looks solid af btw! Great choice.

I very nearly went for the MK18 myself, but after chatting to a few folk in this thread, went for the CQB-R instead, purely for the nause that handguard looks to remove. Have you ordered the barrel nut tool? I've got a G&P MK18 rail, which looks class, and a Geissele MK16 rail from HAO, which is on at the moment. The third party support for the MWS is huge, which is great as you don't need to be a slave to one look...just your bank balance. Hit up @Davegolffor the brass nub, but the MWS is great as is, so don't worry if you have to wait a while for one. Just make sure you use decent ammo, get some spare mags if you can, and if you haven't got one already, a TM XL speed-loader is recommended as mags can be a bitch to load at first. Oh, and don't skimp on a sling. Ferro Slingster, Blue Force Gear VCAS, Magpul and the like are where you want to be, not 8 Fields or Viper!

Yep. CBAV PC is on the wishlist next.

Runs fine in mine and, apart from a SixG brass nub, it's completely stock internally. Be worth getting familiar with Impulse101 for original TM parts and investing in some of the known perishables; nozzle, nozzle return springs, mag lips, that sort of thing. Wouldn't worry about anything though really. Fire Support are great for spares too.

New shooters belt from C2R. This is one solid belt! Yes they're expensive and probably OTT for airsoft (that's not a thing though, right?) but I'm massively impressed with it. Impeccable quality, great design and very low profile. Service was fast too. The inclusion of a sticker and card holder in MC Black was a nice touch.

Not sure if it's the same but here are a couple of phots of the label

Bulk buy if you can. More cost effective. Fire Support are decent on ASG UltraAir but they are smaller cans. Zero One Pro gas is around £40 for six 700ml cans and is basically Abbey Predator Ultra gas.

Just buy what's technically known as, a shit-ton of gas. It'll get used.

Ordered a RIF from them with no trouble in the past, and bought a bunch of Magpul stuff (stock, trigger guard, grip etc) when they had their sale on last year. Great prices and fast service. As for the wankers our side of the border though...twats! Boxes ripped open, no effort made to repackage anything properly and tape over everything. Utter shithouses.

Yep. Still waiting for my refund. Can't be arsed chasing them.anymore. PayPal dispute going in. Ordered the C2R belt at 1110 today. At 1152 received an email saying it's shipped. That's how it should be done ?

That's excellent news! May be worth asking if they'll do you a deal on the gun plus additional mags like they do with the MWS too?

Like @EvilMonkeesaid, call them. They're really helpful and are a great source for all sorts of parts and accessories. Full of helpful advice too.

Fire Support also have spare mags in stock. You'll need them!
