  1. Bought three MWS mags from Japan on Friday. They just arrived, in perfect condition and at less than £38/mag incl. postage. I'm impressed!

      Hi,

      Where did you order them from? I'm after a few mags for my mws.

       

      Cheers,

    I really need to stop taking lunch breaks, they're expensive.

      🤣 no different to usual then.

       

      It'll get a sight, different stock and maybe an NPAS but that's it until something (inevitably) breaks.

    3. Impulse

      Good decision. In terms of internals, the only "upgrades" I would do are an NPAS and something like a sixG nub. They perform really well out of the box!

       

      Welcome to the club though. I have 2 myself (because I needed one for long gun, one for short gun!)

  3. More spam than a Hormel foods factory!

      What has been tempting you to part with your hard earned then.

      Might have bought a Breacher 😉

  5. Got some Smashing Pumpkins tickets!

    Knew I put the boy on an O2 contract for a reason.

      Shamal

      What??

      You have to have tickets now to smash pumpkins? 

      Used to do it for free after Halloween.

      Times have changed☹️😉

  6. Well this is rare. Only the eldest has footie tomorrow, so Mrs M is covering that and I’m off to RIFT in Abingdon for the day with a mate from work.

    Gonna be decent weather too!

  7. Been the only one in the office this afternoon. This has not been good for either my productivity or my bank balance 🙄

  8. Just tried using my current sling on the MP7. No amount of adjustment’s going to make it work.

     

    Any recommendations?

      What actual sling is it? While I hate bungees with a passion, something like the PIG Ring Sling, Blackhawk sub-gun sling or the copies thereof (like the TMC GI style MP7 sling) would be my suggestion.

    3. Madhouse

      Have a 2-point slingster thanks to a prior recommendation here. Just found there’s a 1-point version which could be the thing (albeit an expensive thing).

      The current 1-point is a cheap didn’t-know-any-better bungee that got swapped for the slingster on my 308, I was thinking of re-purposing but it doesn’t cut it.


      Will check those out @Lozart, I think it definitely needs to be a sub specific sling.

    4. Lozart

      Lozart

      The 2 point Slingster is really designed for longer guns, the single point might work but it could well still be too long.

       

      You could also look at the Magpul style slings though as they will adjust up pretty short.

  9. Looks like more TM deliveries have happened - MP7 mags I've been after are back in stock.

  10. Might have just impulse bought a TM MP7A1 …

     

    Not gonna regret that 😁

      You will when it breaks.

      And it will :P

      It’s Airsoft and therefore inevitable.

       

      Enjoy it before it breaks, fix it when it does.

      You're not gonna regret it. I bought a VFC in January and had a chance to run on HPA today. It's just something else. Plus an MP7 is always cool. 😎

  11. Thinking of getting a hard case ... pick n pluck or wave foam?

      Thanks. Was about to go Nuprol PnP as PatrolBase have them on offer but I measured the car boot and it’s too long. At least now I know I need to find a 1m long case.

    3. Lozart

      Lozart

      I have a case around that size I'm getting shot of, proper hard case, metal edging with wave foam interior. £30 if your interested, PM me and I can sort you out pictures.

    4. Jake_RFT1695

      Would recommend eggshell/wave foam. Much more versatile and doesn't restrict you to one/two specific RIFs. This allows you to play around with the layout, maximising what you can carry at one time.

  12. Bugger. Was messing about with the pew yesterday morning and can’t remember if I released the pre-cocking before I put it away. Not gonna be back to it till late, fingers crossed it doesn’t permanently compress too much 🤞

  13. Just taken the (new) pew apart as the ambi fire selector cog jumped a tooth or two.

    Gotta love airsoft QC 😉

  14. Of course the gas nozzle extender wasn’t going to fit! Slimmed it down an bit and now it does.

     

    Why did TM make it so damn difficult to just fill a mag?

    1. Rogerborg

      It's Japanese, suffering is virtue.

  15. UKARA's sorted. Happy Friday!!

      G&G 308 SBR and a TM FNX45.

      Already got tracers, sights and the other bits I need - the road to bankruptcy is already well trodden without the ability to buy pews!!

    3. JustMark

      Yeah, I feel like money was a thing I used to have before I found this hobby too :D

      Nice looking gnu's dude!

  16. Ordering a kydex mag holster to attach to a belt - but do I want to attach it using a malice clip or combat loop? Is one better than the other?

      @Ryder777 sounds like he's ordering from Deadly Customs. The attachment options are Malice or Combat loop.

       

      As for Esstacs, WTF straps all the way.

    3. Madhouse

      Madhouse

      @Lozart gets the points for correctly guessing DC 😁

    4. Lozart

      Lozart

      That said, my DC Baofeng holstery thing is on a combat loop and it hasn't come adrift for a while. It did when it was round at the side of my belt but since moving it to the back it seems to have settled down. Of course, malice clips do let you move from belt to molle a bit easier.

  17. Glad I decided to test the tracer I just bought, while it works just fine it doesn’t ‘wake up’ when you give it a shake.

    Got it off Amazon so it’s going back tomorrow … and a new one’s arriving tomorrow too :)

      @Madhouse to be honest I'd be looking at the good old ASG B&T tracer instead then. The on/off button is easily accessible from the outside (plus it really doesn't use much power anyway.

    3. Madhouse

      Madhouse

      @Lozart that would have made more sense but I seem to have opted for form over function!

      By the sound of it I may be in the market for another soon enough when this one inevitably breaks outside of its warranty period.

      That said I’ve literally only just picked this one up so it may be going back yet 😂

    4. Madhouse

      Madhouse

      Turns out they're advertising it as being packaged with a Blaster M and sending it with an MS which doesn't have the shake feature. Decided to sack off that tracer and get something else instead, so sending the second one back too.

  18. Thursdays are back on at Zmart! To celebrate I'm off there on Thursday - still renting so will be checking out what toys everyone else has.

  19. Gutted. Was off to Z-mart again tonight, but Thursday games have been cancelled for the foreseeable.

    Midweek games are so much easier for me to work in around all the stuff the kids do too.

     

    (No, they’re not old enough to go yet).

  20. Any recommendations for a holster? Plan is to get an FNX-45 when the UKARA happens, got a Nuprol NX300 light from a mate to go with it, so need something compatible with that.

    So far I have a list of one - the DC5.

      Good suggestions there, think the Deadly Customs one has it at the moment, I like the idea of the release on the Blackhawk one but if I’m running a tracer and a light the DC one is pretty much the only option.

      Only problem now is that DC also do a belt with mag carriers and you can get them wrapped … and then it’s like ‘ohh, that looks nice’ …….. could spend more on the belt than the pew it’s meant to carry!

    3. Krisz

      Omnivore bottom need some cutting regarding tracers I think but I'm not sure if I would do it by myself it's not cheap and you can't send it back it if it's butchered.

      Kydex type holsters could offer you a solution but for tracer space you may pay premium and to my knowledge kydex wears your slide faster than anything else.

      If you don't insist on a flashlight warrior systems ultimate holster could be a cheaper alternative but drawing isn't the best (I own one and you can't grab the grip properly while you draw it you have to readjust your palm on the pistol).

      Cheapest solution is a gun clip style holster from patrolbase but FNX-45 trigger is very different in style compared to a Glock/AAP-01 so I'm not sure if it's gonna be compatible. TTI Trigger wasn't so I had to send it back.

    4. Madhouse

      Thanks for the info, hadn’t thought about slide wear but I guess with TM’s being plastic I probably should.

      Chatting to a mate this morning and he uses a trigger guard holster similar to this:

       

      https://www.atomic-airsoft.co.uk/product/tokyo-marui-fnx-45-retention-holster/

       

      Tempting for the versatility as any light/tracer combo will work.

  21. Red Alert today - although taking the kids paintballing rather than playing myself.

  22. Between injury & life my third game at my local site will be a full 13 and a bit months since my first. Just messaged them about UKARA, fingers crossed they're ok with it, if not I'll just have to wait a bit longer.

      Funny thing about life , it does have a rather unfortunate habit of finding a way of taking a giant shite on one’s plans ? 

    3. Madhouse

      Madhouse

      Certainly does @Druid799!

       

      That was my thinking @Lozart but they seem to want the three games inside a year - their site, their rules. I don't mind if that means I have to wait an extra month or two and I'm not gonna kick up a fuss as I don't want to be 'that guy' and quite frankly there's bigger things to worry about .... like what pew to get and whether it's in stock anywhere 😂

      We need a new category, the ‘Covidcara license’ ! You play one game per year over this year and the previous two years to too qualify for ya airsoft ‘license’ !👍

  23. Last minute evening pass so just booked in to Zmart Newbury for my first ever game! All tips welcome, probably gonna go full newbie in jeans & jumper.
