Everybody else is unhappy with the site, meanwhile I’m glad I can browse on mobile without having to zoom in a bunch 😂

Desperately wanting to get an AKM with one of these now the shells are finally back available!

"Need gone ASAP really" So prices it at nearly double retail 🥴

Popped into my local shop to ask about some AK mags, got shown the LCT catalog… Left with an order for an LCT RPK-74, Molot furniture and a drum mag for said RPK… 🤤

All of that work, swearing and paint just to fit a handguard 🤣 Truthfully now, my Ares outer with S&T gearbox (And a bunch of fancy parts) is great - Obviously Fitting a JG gearbox into the S&T is as simple as can be too, it’s just needs the little tab removed off the back of the JG gearbox iirc

The only experience I had with it was that I bought it brand new, took it to a game, chrono’d fine and then roughly 10 minutes into the first game it made a horrible noise and never worked again. One of the gears had broken, which led to a refund and me never wanting to touch another one 😂

To be honest, the S&T isn't bad - Unless you want to modify it. The hop is annoying and only one really works with it (Begadi, so big bucks). Both of my stock S&T's do run lovely though, and the EBB is quite fun on the MG36 🤤 Most of the issues I ran into was because I was changing brand parts over and trying to make them work, which ultimately didn't. Sadly, the best feeling one (Imho) is the Umarex/Ares G36X - However, internally it's Ares. Closely followed by the new generation S&T. Out of the 11 G36's I've had, I would personally put them in this order from best to worst: JG - Works great, dirt cheap and takes the most upgradeable parts just don't snap the selector plate. Umarex/Ares (Although currently mine has an S&T stock gearbox in it) - Mainly biased because it takes the Ultima industries handguard so I can have a legit G36KA4. S&T - I've had 4, and all of them have ran great out of the box with no issues at all. Cyma - Surprisingly, being cyma they're not as great as I would have hoped. Specna - Feels awful, like... really plasticy. Shot alright but I would definitely not buy another. Also really picky with what mags it will feed. The WE GBBR is undoubtedly on the top, but that's kind of to be expected.

Has anybody managed to fit an FN FAL handguard to one of these? I’m considering getting one and building it up to be a “good enough” as the ares is shit, and the VFC is out of my price range for a while

Cheapest place I've found for the kit is £53, so using the 65% rule of thumb it would be roughly £35

DSI too is quite common to see with blue painted pews. Can't find the 75th rangers that I mentioned now though!

All together it was £96, with return next day postage.

Did you go deeper into the thread? A lot of the first images are removed.

Yeah, I'm on the look out for some better grips as these are a bit raggedy anyway. Just not sure what to go for!

I've seen some (iirc) 75 ranger guys using blue cans, with blue mags and their BCG is also blue, it's to show as training. UK Police use blue (Two tone blue) Glocks to show training too, can see a fair few pics of blue glocks in holsters for ARV/CTFSO etc.

Picked up a cheap WE MEU that had a lot of bubbles and wear under the slides paint, sent it to West Lasers for a burnt bronze cerakote and engraving. I wanted something unique, and after playing through a bunch of the Tomb Raider remaster the past few weeks it seemed fitting.

Probably lighter 😂

I keep looking at those suppressors and thinking of getting one with a tracer… 😂

How front heavy do you want your AK? да

Fitted the omega nub with the maple leaf bucking, 298 - 307 (.25g bb’s, adjusting hop incremental and only a tiny drop) Seems I’m now on the right path, so fingers crossed all is good next month 🙏

So basically what specna done a few years ago. 🤔 It’s good to see more companies moving to fitting quality mosfets as standard though, and with G&G their prices tend to be entry level friendly which again is fantastic.

The Lucius pattern is basically a sci-fi BAR. Entry level, easy to adjust, cheap - Sounds like a standard M4. Also matches the magazine profile with the 20 round VN style mags (Again, cheap)

Well I’m stupid… 😂 I didn’t even think to check normal washers 🤦‍♂️
