    Elcan C79

    Yeah I'm thinking 600 ATM for this tbh but 500 if I'm ever in need of quick cash, seems fair either way so far

    Elcan C79

    Yeah it's not a reproduction so a lot more than 200 at least (even the repros aren't worth that but for a different reason lol) but it's hard to say, not having any other in the UK also makes it valuable but again, hard to say. I found a shop listing for the civilian version that went for 2k cad (about 1k GBP in today's money, a lot more back then) and this is the military version, and again the 3.4 doesn't exist anymore as a model and the actual military C79 is long gone https://store.theshootingcentre.com/elcan-c79-a2-3-4x-riflescope/

    Genuine Elcan C79/Spectre OS3.4x, the black non-tensioner variant that came before the green variant. 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 I'm not really sure if I want to hold onto it for long so I'm gauging opinions here, the C79's were never intended to be surplussed afaik so it's a bit rare, from what I can tell they were supposed to all be destroyed as part of the C7A2 modernisation program
  5. Lol I'm always open to offers but it's a one off I'm uploading gameplay and planning to do a build video on the YouTube but I don't know if I'm allowed to post that kind of thing here, if not then you can just Google me and you'll find it
  6. Gas blowback L86 custom conversion using a mix of ICS and RS parts and custom reinforcement, SUSAT is currently a reproduction And also my C7A2 with genuine C79 scope, MWS base with G&P 20" steel outer barrel

    The SPR profile is too heavy for me so I just put a different set together and now this is no longer needed. For reference, this weighs 1.02KG alone, whereas my steel G&P 20" M16 outer barrel weighs 570g. The profiling of the barrel really makes a difference. Manganese phosphate coating. Best price I could find for this is part of a set at about £260 before international shipping or 320 if you want one in the UK (CRWAirsoft) The main part this is missing (apart from the handguard) is the flash hider setup, which is available here: https://www.mlemart.com/products/z-parts-mk-12-flash-hider It's also missing the gas block, but this is purchasable here if a standard airsoft one doesn't work: https://www.mlemart.com/products/z-parts-mk12-steel-gas-block The adapter to 14mm CCW is included.

    6mmproshop Staccato P. Army Armament OEM. This was sold here as a ‘tuned’ build but it had a few issues that I’ve spent the past couple of months fixing. Selling because I bought the T8 steel version at the same time and it took me a while to get that FCG to feel as good as this one. The issues it used to have: Mag fill valve and knocker valve both leaking. Tried replacing the o rings with those from a working mag from the T8, original buyer offered to fix but then ghosted. Turns out they were both busted internally. Both valves replaced with AMG replacement kit available on patrolbase. Unable to engage slide lock when the slide release lever is pushed inward, and slide release not disengaging when racking without magazine. Fitment issue, printed rimmed washer to prevent excessive inward movement and filed contact surface. Also greased the contact surface between the detent plunger and the slide release lever, as well as removed the short stroke kit because it had no effect on the slide lock mechanism because it was just a spacer rather than a locking point change. Happy to include the short stroke washer but it’s very much not what it claims to be, it just chokes the recoil length rather than the locking length and provides no benefit to slide lock. Recoil spring binding at end of travel. No impediment to function but it sounds gross. Replaced with Edge 110% spring but will also include original. Would recommend the AMG winter spring for the WE hi capa, it feels great in my T8. Gritty and blobby feel to the slide action, and depositing paint gunk into the FCG with use: After removing what looks like cat hair from the action, found that it had been oiled rather than greased. Regreased. The claim from the first owner was that the contact surfaces had been polished and this is true for some surfaces, but the 2 disconnector tracks were untouched and so it was wearing paint off of the slide, mixing it with the oil, and then dropping it into the FCG. Polished disconnector tracks, disassembled lower completely, cleaned and regreased FCG. Gun was firing upon inserting a magazine or upon releasing the slide. Original buyer tried to convince me that this was because I had tightened the screw in the trigger and I left him to it (for reference, the trigger screw prevents overtravel of the trigger past the sear engagement point by acting against the magazine release, it does not provide a function prior to this point). Modified leaf spring center leg to fix the sear to hammer engagement, as it had been previously modified presumably in the name of lightness. The sear and hammer contact surface has been polished by previous owner and feels good. Magazine release was gritty, disassembled and regreased. Previous owner also claims that a cowcow enhanced cylinder head has been installed, but it performs the same as the T8. Hopefully this all explains that, while it had a rough start to life, it has now been properly sorted out and looked after. Package includes original box, Holy Warrior RMR and Sotac X300UH-B It’s also worth noting that, while I’m able to provide a battery for the RMR, I do not have any CR123’s to spare for the light. Chrono pic is using BLS 0.28g BB's with Nuprol red gas at 20 degrees celsius. Function video available upon request. Price includes postage, paypal G&S welcome

    This was used as a test bed for a top dot mount, where a red dot was mounted on top of it and repeatedly hit with a rubber mallet. As a result of this process, one of the top mounts threads is stripped and, when mounted on a gun, force can be applied to the scope to make the main housing rock inside the mount slightly. It no longer holds zero as a result, and is not accurate at dmr ranges. With the amount of movement in the scope it would still be alright in normal ranges or as a cosmetic piece. Price includes p&p

    Previous buyer has gone silent so I'm listing for open sale. Evolution Gear Sig Tango 6T DVO. You can find out a lot about this optic online as it has a very good reputation and punches well above its weight. However, this one has never been used because I happened to get a good deal on a Vortex Razor while waiting for this to be delivered. Selling with the rare mount repro that mysteriously only saw a single production run (legal troubles most likely) I have checked this over for warp, edge and edge to edge clarity, chromatic aberration, contrast, colour reproduction and light transmission, eye relief shift with zoom, eyebox and diopter range. For all intents and purposes, this outranks much more expensive scopes for optical quality and I would keep it if not for the Vortex beating it for bezel and warranty. Action is first focal plane, meaning that zooming in the image will also zoom in the reticle. The reticle also has illumination which is functioning perfectly as expected. On 1x the reticle is so small that illuminating it turns it into a precise red dot. Battery is 1x CR2032 and will be included. Turrets are capped, weather sealed, nonlocking with tactile clicks in 0.2mrad increments Power wheel is smooth throughout and perfect stiffness. Throw lever is fitted and tightened, there is no wobble or other movement. All markings are clear and correct with no damage. Lens caps are clone correct and have their markings. Fitment is tight and without wobble or shift. Tracked postage included, happy to use Paypal G&S

    Original WE OEM L85A2 Handguard Used once, now I've converted to an L86 build Includes fixing screw but not the receiver backplate that spaces between the receiver and the handguard, so this would probably be most beneficial to someone wanting a spare for modding Price includes postage, Paypal G&S welcome

    Looking to buy a stock MWS charging handle as my one has broken its latch Used or new is fine, just looking for a standard M4 style one though

  16. MWS MK12 Mod 0. It has the carbon fiber handguard but it's still kinda heavy lol
  17. Tbh the most likely suspect is AliExpress. I have one of the same and it has the same colouring (the fsp colouring seems better than the flattops tbh) and the same spacing at the front end. Pricing new would be about 40 I believe but I'd recommend having a little look around yourself just to get a first hand impression
  18. Block 2 nerd here, afaik madbull didn't make an fsp ris2 btw, just the omega fsp. The main suspects are the emg, the ghk and the vfc but these do their front top pic sections more like the real one. This has the incorrect sections which make it more likely to be a cheaper clone

  20. Dodgy delivery is the seller's problem, refund the buyer first and then handle your business if you know that the package is lost
  21. I love boneyard listings sometimes, the thing is a periscope but defcon has the cheek to try listing it, and for only 20 quid less than RRP! "Slight bend" yeah right XD

    Discovery Optics VT-R 3-12X40 SF Rifle Scope. Selling as I've upgraded to a Vortex Viper. Uncapped, lockable turrets at 1/4 MOA increments 30mm tube, 40mm objective. Great for MK12 cloners or just as an upgrade to the ultra cheap Amazon scopes. Body is light for its size and free of marks, blemishes or scratches. Eye relief: 3 inches. This is slightly shorter than average for a precision scope, and with a small bevel it gives a much larger FOV per zoom than other scopes of this type, it's like looking at a big screen as opposed to through a bog roll tube Eyebox: gets tight at the top end as expected, but usable throughout. Clarity: better than you would expect at the price point. Colour, contrast and light transmission are also great. Glass is free of scratches, marks etc. Diopter adjustment is functional, as is side focus. All adjustment dials are smooth and fluid, with no hitches or excess friction. Elevation and windage turrets are clicky and tactile. Can include cheap low rings for free if required Price includes postage from Kent, PayPal G&S preferred

  23. Thanks! The essentials for the M16 are: G&P 20" steel WA system outer barrel, with unknown brand WA-MWS adapter G&P front end furniture (M203 heatshield, M5 RAS, I have a standard A2 handguard too but not sure who that's from) I believe this is a DNA barrel nut, it's definitely not the normal TM one. The person I bought the nut from among other things mentioned that the 203 won't work with the standard barrel nut, it seems like that screw gets in the way MWC Stock kit. These are built to MWS spec and have large spacers inside, so you can use a carbine buffer inside rather than having to switch out to a rifle length buffer. No weight difference, just saves a bit of faff when finding parts The 203 is believed to be a king arms, I have a G&P as well and consider the king arms superior because the tube rails have a detent at the end of travel so it holds open as long as you want it The ACOG is holy warrior, I'm not sold on it currently compared to the G&P repro I used to have but I also don't have enough time with it to say for certain. I don't believe the UID is correct for an A4 of this era, but this receiver gets passed around a lot of builds and it links to a google doc with info such as current chrono/npas setting, what the hop is set for, whether it's had any recent issues to keep an eye out for etc I'm a fan of the MK12 but I have a VFC M110 for my quad rail DMR fix, I still want a mod 0 though at some point XD Angry gun are not that bad but you really have to temper your expectations, if it's something with threads or any precise machining like a bolt then you have to understand they don't have a great sucess rate. Stick to simple things like buffers though and they're fine, and I've seen angry gun bolts that lasted almost a whole day before as well. It was broken by lunchtime but the fact it actually fit in the gun, didn't break itself apart when testing at home, got through chrono and then played a couple hours of games is quite impressive for angry gun. Fwiw I've heard that their receiver/front end kits can be workable too if you're alright with a dremel, but I wouldn't personally chance it
  24. Thanks! They used to be unicorns but there was actually a point a year or two ago that it was possible to build one, I'm very lucky to be benefitting from that (Edit: unless you use angry gun, but everyone should know how that will go ) I'm thinking of doing a C7 or MK12 Mod 0 build at some point in future but it'll be a while before parts availability and budget lines up
  25. A couple of my MWS's, top is a colt 723 with a Nova receiver, VFC Ops Inc suppressor and a few other bits and pieces for a 90's delta build, and the second is an M16A4 as seen in its transitional era during the Iraq war
