I don't know a ton about the current stuff, but if you eBay search (for example) osprey pouch you'll quickly be able to collate the whole set that was issued. I've done the same for 'virtus pouch' before and it seems like most if not all come up and of course there's multiple pictures and angles spread across the listings. Submit the word belt or bag etc in place of pouch and you can find probably 95%+ of everything.

NGRS so yes, burst works on them. Easy for them to do since they finally somewhat-caught up with the modern world and put in a fet.

H&K Fire Selector Red (TM's version anyway). Feels quite regal and opulent to me.

The CTR design itself must be pushing 20 years old now, it is great but not necessarily the absolute best one for negating stock wobble. I think the MOE-SL line should get more attention and the DT is arguably now the gold standard. All that said however airsoft parts are airsoft parts - to assume your stock is the necessarily guilty party rather than your cheap airsoft receiver extension (which is 99% of them) with it's wildly varying tolerances, probably isn't the right move. The vast majority of airsoft copies don't come close in quality of either plastics or the various metal components. That doesn't mean they can't do just fine for playing bbs, but they're not close.

Said it in here a couple of times; had the most utterly 'ok' games at driver wood. Field is probably above average (though not all of it), SZ is top tier to be fair. But the games were fairly poorly planned, kinda mundane, not well balanced and lazily just flipped around with no real variety. I also had the most patronising safety brief of my time in airsoft at the site, granted that's something which does really get my goat in general, but I think if I'd recorded it a lot of folks would agree. Barrel socks is a decent idea in general and being the sort of site that's always busy with paintball and laser tag kids' birthdays it makes even more sense. But the food rule is fucking bullshit in the first degree for a myriad of reasons already well stated by others here, and just generally BS outside any dietary requirements etc. I took my own stuff and ate it and I'd just claim some nebulous allergy if questioned; if further details were demanded they're then maybe sort of crossing in to the realms of asking a persons' private medical information. Ridiculous scenario overall and it should never come to that (not having the stupid rule would negate that). They also seemed to have a rule last time I was there (was badly explained so I'm not 100%) that there was a 5-10m MED for 1.1J auto capable weapons, which at the time I went wasn't stated on their site so I didn't bring a sidearm (no MED) and that just makes for silly scenarios in game where you can't put a single shot in someone if you suddenly round a corner on an opposing player, even though said sidearm would be the same muzzle energy.

Brit/American crossover webbing set is finally in a decent place. Should hopefully only need a few very minor tweaks now (famous last words). Pic added for @Diemaco

I misunderstood the OP originally, but FN posted on IG and clarified this. They're only stopping making/selling the civilian versions they sell in the US, military production is unchanged. I don't know the MSRP per se, but a taking a quick look on GunBroker the various rifles seem to start at around $3700 and go up from there, which most likely means they were hardly actually selling any. With companies as big as FN, even if something is making profit they often won't deem it worthwhile unless there's really huge volume/money in it. I'd imagine their more 'conventional' 5XX series pistols and the FN15 ARs do a good bit more volume since they're more suited to the American market and much cheaper. I remember many years ago there was a relatively brief period where they sold semi-only F2000s in the states (called the FS2000 I think), which I believe were made in Belgium then shipped over the pond. But again I'd bet there was very little profit in it comparatively speaking, so they're fairly rare and collectible in the US now. Does leave me wondering if they'll end up cancelling the likes of the PS90, M249S etc in future.

That would line up, I'm not sure about the Gen 4 and 5 but the TM Gen 3 is known to be just a smidge bigger than RS making holster fitment a gamble, and WE cloned TM of course. Surprised it got fully locked in that hard though, that was unlucky. I need to now very carefully and gently try my TM in my issue Radar...

Interesting news. One the one hand not surprising because it's never been truly popular and paying to keep those production lines going for decades now must have finally gotten annoying enough for the company to cut their losses, but on the flip side they really tried hard to push it for so long that it almost felt like they'd just have it on the back burner forever more. Time has definitely moved on since it was designed though, the more recent LICC offerings have a lot more potential moving forward. Given the popularity in games etc I don't see the airsoft replicas going anywhere any time soon, if ever. Most certainly not for a long time because most of airsoft always lags years and years behind. You talking about a specific manufacturer or version? FN still churns them out in the US. I've not researched other mfgs, but there will be various other production around the world too I'm sure, given the large number of governmental forces that have adopted them and the massive proliferation/popularity of the design. Not the SCAR, their standard rifle is basically a 416 though.

Tape is not tape is not tape. There's a million different kinds out there. Hockey tape is popular on firearms for the same reason it is in said sport - very grippy, tough, not too prone to holding water to my knowledge. There's a 'tactically oriented variant' called Goon Tape (cringe) which sells pretty well over the pond. Skateboard tape is of course a classic in this area which has been bodged on to firearms for decades because, again, mega rough texture, super hard wearing and I think it's waterproof or certainly resilient enough for the purpose at hand. The McNett/self adhesive camo stuff is also a big one that you can see used over and over again by civvie shooters, SF guys etc etc on key areas around foregrips and on handguards/securing tape switch cables. Just picked some up myself, has a very textured surface to it and can last a long while.

I remember stumbling on this a while back when checking out their Spitfire sling attachment, but personally decided I'd never use such a setup for a sling and I'd say there's a reason it isn't popular out there. That aside, I'm assuming from a quick look at your profile that you'd use it with a real stock, so that part would hold up (for a while at least), but I'd be suspect of the other airsoft parts of 99% of replicas holding up to the weird leverage forces if you ever run it as a 1-pt. If you have found a real life pic you want to replicate for the funsies then fair enough obviously, but I'd say that lower receiver end plates with QD sockets/normal side-of-stock QDs are infinitely more popular for a reason.

Any idea why the pistol was stuck per chance?

Old config of my LV-119. Hasn't changed that much, just moved the pouches up to the front and re-arranged that cummerbund itself to be more like the new Reactive 'bund for the LV-120.
