What sight is that on the M4? Looks sick
Thanks! I really like it because you can adjust zero by hand. No screwdriver needed.
Its this one here
I've also popped a little 30mm polycarbonate disc I got from ebay under the cover, to stop bb impacts.

Great pics.
Look out for that pistol though.looks like it might jump out if you get too energetic lol.
👍
Thanks! Haha I know i thought that too. Its actually in the holster solid and wouldn't come out even when I swung the belt around. I think its because the battle belt is a bit too big for me know so doesn't sit right!

Finally got my loadout nearly where I am happy with it. The SR30 ended up being perfect for the 'civilian contractor' look IMO.
Just need some tan mechanix now, and maybe a TM FNX 45..... its never ending....

Bit late to the convo but I really suffered with fogging with any goggles until I bit the bullet and got an exfog.
I won't lie, it's overpriced and you can make something similar for much cheaper. I have no tech skills however so got the exfog and have literally not fogged since. I like that you can use it with any goggles as well and have cut multiple tubes to suit a few different set ups.
I consider it my best airsoft purchase tbh, even the nicest RIF is useless if you can't see past the end of the barrel.

I think the pricing is well off with this one. Its an Edge 1.0 (Gate X-ASR) and is costing £230 (PatrolBase), £220 (Gunfire).
For less money, you can buy this:

and this:
£155+£25 = £180.
So that's £50 for the logo. I suppose you could spend that on a new E&C gearbox to replace the shite stock one.
Yeah i agree there, it is very expensive for a specna. Think I'm going to go with my original plan and pick up an SA-A03 for a lot less. Heard they are still OEM'd by E&C so QC should be better.

But this ain't really a Mk18.
Yeah I know. To a layman (me) its close enough to make me happy 🤣
Although I am a little disappointed they have DD trades on the receiver and not colt.
Will probably replace the ugly iron sights too.
Unfortunately I have a mars and evo so can't justify another £400 RIF. Would if I could though!

Meh.
Another M4.
But it's OK, this one's got licenced trades. Yay I suppose..... 🙄
I know what you mean. Not usually all that into m4s.
Think I'm just excited because I've wanted a mk18 for a while and this releases literally as I was about to buy!

looks like specna have stepped up there licensing game with Daniel Defense.
They've released a Mk18 with trades. Just when I was sure I wanted an SA-A03 as well!
Although this is basically just an Edge replica (SA-E19), so QC may be an issue!
Might wait for some owners reviews before I grab this one 🤔

Good point. It might just be the CM.123, but mine absolutely loves to drop mags if you so much as look at the catch (or even if you don't), and I've had to add material to the catch mechanism to hold them in place.
Lost way too many base plates for gbb mags this way even with the warrior assualt systems holster! First thing I look for in a pistol now is the hk style release.

I've got the cm125s which is the usp style with lipo and mosfet pre installed. I think its the only aep which is almost 1:1 scale.
It cost me £50 from Taiwangun and suits my specific requirements for a pistol perfectly. However i literally only use my pistol for room clearing or I might pull it if I know combat wikl take place at less than 10 metres.
As mentioned earlier in the thread they are pretty useless over 20m so bear that in mind.
The usp is a good choice for me because you can use any cheap holster due to the mag catch being built into the trigger guard.
The cyma aeps are great for a budget sidearm, but don't expect breathtaking performance. They work very well for a specific role.
If you have any other questions about them I'd be happy to try and help

If you're talking about stopping sweat dripping from your forehead to you goggles, i have this and it works really well and is easy to hide.

Now for fog ive tried all sorts as I fog up before I've left the safe zone. Best goggles I found were some surplus revision wolf spiders with the foam ripped out.
Only thing thats actually stopped fogging for me though is the revisions paired with an exfog. Its a fan that sits on your goggles/helmets and pushes air into them. Its very expensive for what it is, but I personally think its worth every penny as I havent fogged since.
You could make something for a lot cheaper but I am useless at all that...

Thanks so much chaps. Good to know I am on the right track!
Can I ask one question please about the EVO? It seems to get more or less universal love but when I spoke to a couple of shops last week, I got some pretty negative feedback - one store indeed (can't remember which one) actually said they are not going to stock them anymore as they've been badly burned funding the warranty as they have had so many returns.
I can't quite square the love it seems to get with what appears to be the retailer experience.
If I did decide to go down that route, I assume based on the above that I would not see any real difference in performance between the carbine or the regular sized? I think the internals are all the same?
Thanks!
Jeremy
Welcome to the money pit!
I have just purchased an evo and I'm worried about the warranty returns too. If you have any questions I'd recommend joining the owners group on Facebook as most questions have already been asked there!
Basically from what I can gather, most of the issues on the scorpion come from them being used with an 11.1v battery on a stock uk spring. This causes pre engagement issues on full auto. They also use really cheap gears and these combined causes most of the failures.
To run the evo on an 11.1 under warranty (which is preferable as it is much snappier) you need to get an asg m95 milspec spring and the asg upgraded bearing spring guide. Its really easy to swap due to the quick change spring and will bring it over 1 joule, which should stop pre engagement.
I'm going to run my evo for the first time this weekend and can't wait! So ill let you know if it breaks straight away!
Best battery for this is the 11.1v 1300mah nuprol slim stick battery as it will fit in the gun.
You can also run without the spring and spring guide on a 9.9v life battery, but these are a pain to install in the gun so I opted for upgrading for 11.1s
Let me know of you have any other questions.

Thanks guys, I'll have a look tomorrow and adjust it to something a bit lower

So I'm new to the forum and selling RIFs and I posted the below advert.
However after having a look around I'm not sure if I've overpriced it.
Please let me know your thoughts as I dont want to rip anyone off.
Thanks!

Thought the same, I would have been interested if it was reasonably priced 🤣
I've seen this overprincing happening a lot more in the last few weeks. Thinking people are regretting their post lockdown purchases!
