A friend bought one up to show off, it was a recent purchase. He said that it might have been a pre production sample that was partially modernised for testing and then deactivated once it served its purpose, but that's third hand info at this point that I haven't been able to verify. They are very rare and he wouldn't give me an exact number on how much it cost, but it was well north of 5k The SUSAT is also genuine of course and in very very good condition

We L86 LSW conversion from a WE L85 using a genuine SUSAT, and then another WE L85 alongside a genuine deac L85 (A1 lower, A2 upper, A1 bolt)

Just as a minor addition from personal experience, this won't thread on an MWS unless the receiver has been rethreaded -
Yep I posted the wrong link, hitman's is the one

This is something that annoys me greatly and the reason I don't do gun reviews, it's not really a representative review of the gun if that's all you have the space for

That's a pricey price, what differentiates it from the spina OEM OKP-7 that begun manufacture recently? https://www.aliexpress.com/item/4001295123552.html The reason I ask is Spina doesn't have an amazing reputation for electronics, I've had a couple go kaputt within a few months now with no impacts or anything It's a shame as they OEM some of the weird optics choices like a half decent susat and G36 scope, but again the electronic stuff tends to fall short on their internal connections and that's quite a price difference

To present the obvious, you could also just use a HK hook instead of a QD

We've had this one here before, the issue is that the aimpoint is most likely genuine. It's obviously not an M2 but it does match the M4 I have (and notably doesn't have the design differences that my repro m4 has) He's ruined it with the paintjob though and frankly if he gave it a decent paintjob and wrote on the listing what's actually on the gun then he'd have a much better chance of selling it
-
Yep would have got it myself if I hadn't spent the month's budget on other things, that's a good price

Pair of WE gas blowback L86 LSW's. One is owned by myself, I've just finished converting the other for a customer The left one is mine with a genuine buttpad and rear grip and spina susat, the right one is using ICS furniture with a genuine acog

I'd be curious about component cost, where do you even get a sensor and emitter like that from?

Genuine Elcan C79, otherwise known as the Elcan Spectre OS3.4x Scope is real, mount is real, reticle is the canadian post. As far as I'm aware, this is the first and only C79 to enter the UK The C79's were never intended to be surplussed afaik so it's a bit rare to say the least, from what I can tell they were supposed to all be destroyed as part of the C7A2 modernisation program The rubber cover is in great condition with no solidification or decay and so is the mount, which has not been modified to add in the tensioner spring afterward. The BUIS nubs are all intact, the elevation dial is smooth and still has perfect detents. The front glass has a small chip in the bottom (visible in pics, it's tiny and not deep enough to affect seal) and the picture has a burn mark in the top left corner from service, which is noticeable when looking at a direct light source. I've tried to show this in the most harsh light in the interest of integrity, it's not really as visible as it is in the first photo. I've also added an outdoor photo to show what this actually looks like. In terms of glass quality, it's an Elcan Spectre. Clarity and contrast match my genuine ACOG TA31, it's flawless but I can't justify keeping it any longer, I'm a sopmod guy Price includes shipping, Paypal G&S welcome£450

If you do that, just make sure that there's not one in the chamber already of course -

Need Some Advice – Struggling to Maintain My MWS Setup
Hobbnob replied to Ulmocuk's topic in General Discussion
O rings can be easy to replace but getting the size right can be a frustrating initial cost. For standard TM MWS mags, I use m4 x 1 and M12 x 1.5. For the nozzle, which brand of nozzle did you replace it with? Some brands like angry gun have a higher failure rate than average, but it can also be caused by loading the magazines to max capacity which then puts upward pressure on the nozzle, leading it to come into battery at an incorrect angle and break
