    Considering Magpul has been making them for probably 15 years by now (rough guess), the UBR stock is like hen's teeth in airsoft comparatively. There's a million guns with Geissele Mk16s in DDC though, so it's a good balance in a way.


    I like the UBR , a bit back heavy but it’s a cool stock regardless !

    Battery will need to go in the stock tube with whatever Magpul stock you decide on , unless you get creative and start modifying things .

     

    a standard MOE grip will not fit , due to the motor arrangement and fixing points , you’d be better off with an AEG specific PTS grip .

    These are now available in the UK with a few retailers at around the £480 mark, a bit less for the rattler. But no trades apart from Octagon who laser's them on himself.


    just picked one up myself , very happy with it , the lack of trades is a bit of a downer ( I knew it wouldn’t have them ) but overall for the price it’s very good , I also have the DE Noveske , and Ghetto blaster and all three seem to offer an excellent value introduction into the MWS platform .

    Spotting a clone

    in General Help

    Posted

    With the clone wars stronger than ever I thought it might be an idea to have a thread based on how to spot what’s real and what’s not , to be clear this is not a clone bashing thread , but simply a way to hopefully help you get what is advertised , be it parts , optics , lasers/torches or maybe even RIF’s themselves . just because it says Aimpoint/Eotech/Magpul/Surefire doesn’t mean it is , even the packaging is being cloned to a high standard so don’t get get duped . 
     

    I’ll start with a simple Magpul CTR stock in FDE  , there will be better clones than others and I’ve picked a “Tak Tak” variant which retails at around £15-£20 in the UK VS a Gebuine CTR which retails around £75-£80  , the clone Says Magpul on it so in passing looks legit , the biggest tell is usually going to be the colour but as we know everyone’s photos and lighting looks a bit different and if you have nothing genuine to compare to when it arrives you are just taking the sellers word .

     

    heres a few comparisons , and highlighted differences between the two which should be easy to spot , 

     

    Genuine is CTR is either Top or to the Left .

    main points to note -

     

    Genuine will have black tabs where the stock pad locates NOT TAN

    Genuine will have a molding mark on the underside , oval shaped .

    Genuine stock pad will have an “F” in the lower right hand side “pocket”

    Text spacing , the Genuine will be bolder and spaced correctly 

    Length , generally the Clones will be a touch longer .

    Extra Text , the genuine will have extra text in the lower frame , plus batch / manufacturing numbers just above the locking lever .

    Hope this helps , as time permits I will add more comparisons .

    Boomarms Airsoft

    in General Discussion

    Posted

    Have spent £££’s with BoomArms , never an issue so I’d say just chalk it up as blip , annoying yes , but I’d perhaps of give them a little more time given their excellent track record with my own personal orders . 

     

    also , I never order anything from HK I need urgently ( which is nothing because it’s just airsoft stuff ) and never expect an Amazon prime service 👍🏼 .

    Thanks, appreciate your response

    im looking at buying from Kydex customs the only other thing I probably should have mentioned above is im left handed so not the everywhere does suitable holsters.

     

    the flashlight I’m using is a genuine O-light PL turbo Valkyrie - very nice light. 


    I think your best possible chance of happiness is pistol & light specific but I appreciate that’s an expensive game to play ! 
     

    I would perhaps email them a list of the pistols you want to fit in the universal holster type and see what they say ?
