if you have a pair then surely there’s nothing more to think about 😛

the light dusting is exactly that , make sure your cab is fully working and not spitting , and spray a fine mist from 18”-24” away , do it outside with the gun hanging , I had mine on a wire by the stock so it’s easy to turn . dusting , this is the key word . You can use any colour you like but obviously light colour will lighten it , dark colour darken 👍🏼

It is , and roughly twice the price it should be too ( imo ) 😂

lovely 😂

Retro ish build

yeah I think it a bit of both , probably less on the safety side though and more if you start making parts that are a direct fit to real firearms and are also exporting them it raises a lot more questions ( especially in strict firearm control countries like Japan , China etc etc ) . And yes , stupidity deserves all the awards it attracts .

Standard AR is 1/2x28tpi , H&K is M15x1 they are likely different on purpose so airsoft shit doesn’t fit on RS and kill everyone at a range day 😛 it is most likely due to gun and export laws around the globe .

hopefully they aren’t malice clips

or buy it now , hopefully not too many tickets sold 😑

Welcome from another old timer , Combat south Woodland , i had some good times down there around the same time as yourself with @The Waco Kid .

They just made it work for the shop is my guess , replacing the mlok nuts with bigger nuts or simply a washer in between the two to clamp it up.

Upper / lower / handguard etc this is where to me it’s shining , it’s really nicely finished , trademarks are crisp , the rifle while light is solid and very robust feeling ( apart from those sights and stock wobble ) barrel to receiver fit is good with no movement , handguard is again rock solid as you’d expect .anodising throughout is clean and in my opinion high quality , a nice satin sheen . I would say in this regard the overall feel of it is on par or better than a TM rifle .all screws , pins , mag release , fire selector , castle nut are steel . Tbc Standard WE 2.0 yields an average 290 fps with .30g BB , overall so far I like it , it’s what I’d call a petite rifle , the super slim handguard really makes it feel different , minimalist and light . so if you are looking for something different to a MK18 or URGI then this could be just the ticket for an out of the box platform it’s pissing hard here at the mo so still no proper range test but semi and auto are very good , running from beginning to end of the mag with no noticeable cool down , firing cycle is pretty sharp and trigger feels good compared to my WE rifles . some fancy pics will report back once I get a proper chance to shoot it 👍🏼

Ok , I’ll keep It brief for now and a “first impressions” rather than a full strip down . It’s worth me noting that I do not have a TM MWS here next to me for a direct comparison but I have had a bit of time with them here and there , WE M4 platform GBBR is my main go to for my collection purely for ease of parts and selection . And Tokyo Marui for pistols .However I’m hoping to have an MWS on loan so I can perhaps do a few side by sides but no idea when then might be , likely end of the month . The box - standard issue , cardboard and foam , silica packs . Nothing about this is TM , think King Arms . It’s a box to get the gun from A-B. Although nicely printed. inside you’ll find the rifle , magazine , iron sights ( we shall get to those later ) , speed loader adapter and a baggie of words . magazine looks pretty decent , not as nice as the guns modify and I suspect these are Ace-1 arms ? RS Ranger plates do not fit , however looking around they can be had for £35-£40 ish from HK so if they hold gas and feed fine could be a cheaper way of boosting that load out . feed lips and router look pretty good , speed loader adaptor is a perfect fit to a TM loader and loads the magazines beautifully Tbc. Stock is a Magpul clone , a little wobbly on the tube nothing that couldn’t be shimmed so standard airsoft really , RS MOE-SLK fits very well and the rattle is reduced by at least 50% .(pics later ) grip is a Magpul K clone , nicely made , no branding and I will test fit a genuine one later . iron sights …. Ugh , horrible cheap plastic , wobbly , grim . A real let down . Fitted for the pictures but they will go in the bin tbh . steel flash hider is nice quick break down , upper to lower fit is excellent , no play whatsoever and the pins are lovely and snug needing a pin pusher to release Bolt and buffer assembly all seem pretty decent , a magnet over the trigger group shows alot of steel parts bolt is nice , all seems well fitted together ,although it was very dry so gave a quick wipe over with a light oil , spring is fairly soft , cocking the rifle the return is what I’d describe as lazy but this may be because it was dry and not run in . tbc.

Peanut buttered an LMT

you’ll need to file / grind them off .

for some people the interest in firearms and collecting goes beyond the actual pew pew , they aren’t doing it for anyone else they are doing it because in the whole it’s a difficult challenge to piece together and satisfying once you get to the end . It’s a shame but for some reason there is way more negative “judgement” on people putting a lot of effort into their builds than there is in reverse . Just reading this thread tells you that those people are the first to try and offer advice and help to anyone else wanting to go that route 👍🏼 each to their own of course 🍻

Managed to get hold of one , will try for play time & update later today

following UKSF is like following apple products , just when you think you’ve got the latest ….. 😭
