No tape on the mag!!!!

The final part of my Garand Thumb Mk18 Mod0 build arrived today...
 
 

I'm treating it as a cosmetic shell, really, and have a more or less spare CYMA gearbox ready to go in. This weekend will be a torture test to see what survives, although I may spooge some lube up the motor-hole fnar anyway.

Erm...  it's MAHOOSIVE!

Well a massive box was waiting for me when I got in from work today...
 
I ordered the xl size in the hope that I wouldn't need to remove accessories (I'm lazy), I reckon I'm more likely to take my favourite pews to any game days which basically means a Scar-H or L & an AR15 derivative.
My Mk18 is the longest AR I'm likely to take but I'll be measuring up for the XM177 too before I pick any foam out, all attachments will stay attached & all mags will be in my various sets of webbing so no need to fill gaps in the case (or add extra weight).
While I was waiting on the postie I hollowed out the L85A3 case I had to fit some foam into it, prob a daft idea seeing as the case had formed spaces for an SA80 & seperate accessories but as I said earlier... I'm lazy & didn't want to remove accessories if I could help it. I'll probably buy some wave foam to do it properly but I had tonnes of padding foam in my shed & the wave foam that I do have is far too thick for this case.

I've used one of these for years.  It's just foam that compresses rather than jigsaw foam.  It's mainly for an HFT rifle to protect the scope from being knocked waaaaay off zero, but I've had a bayonet collection, broadswords etc in it too.  
 
I tell the nosy that it's case for a percussion instrument.
 
Not as tactical, but at £45/50 about 20 years ago its earned its keep.

Another Wolverine added to the armoury, this time its the 308 

Hello airsoft friends!  Are these good RIFs to buy to win at airsoftwars battle maps?
 

 
The pistol has 1.3 jewels, just like a watch, and the advanced future riflegun has pure polymer bushings in its bearings so should run very smoothelely!
 
 

2 UGL's courtesy of JinxDuh very happy with my new toys & the best bit is... I need to get another L85A2 & a G36K to do them justice.
 
A fake PEQ2 arrived for my Mk18 Mod0 too, just waiting on the RDS now.

Got an extension ordered, my only concern is the lack of bayonet catch but won't loose any sleep over it.

The JG K length is literally a C with a barrel extension 😂 In fact, the majority of them seem to follow in the same pattern. Initially the UGL came with my "Full" length S&T which I've built to be an MG36!

I've got a couple of G36C's & swopped the handguards around recently, one took a litte fettling to get the pin through one but very little. I've had this UGL on a G36C & a MG36(K) with no issues and it felt solid on both(but heavy). It'll never be used in game because it's a wallhanger but I know the weight would piss me off before I'd even left the safe zone.
 
But...
 
On a possitive note, swopping handguards about for these pics made me realise I only needed a barrel extension (fnar) to turn one of my G36C's into a K(ish).

Feels solid, only on a G36C at the moment.
 
They have a bit of heft to them,feels much heavier than the 320 I have for my L85A3 but it's a more modern design, more to do with the attached handguards probably.
 
I have a G36K set up as an MG36 with a bipod, I'll pop the ugl on it to see how it looks but prefer it as an MG36.

Plan was to do a modernised AK build.
so got an Arron Smith 2.1 rail
 

 
 
but something went wrong along the way…

 

After its first iteration I finally built it as it was meant, pretty satisfied on the looks of it 😍
