The 'What have you just bought' Thread
TheFull9 replied to Cameron364's topic in Guns, Gear & Loadouts
They come with those scopes? I've looked around at replicas before for a similar-ish use/build and there's a couple out there but very little info. -
The only thing I don't like about this release is I'm now worried they'll update the recoil line of ARs and the ones I already own will suddenly feel quite obsolete lol. I am stoked to get my MP5 next week though, I think this is TM's best release in a long time and I like a lot of what they do. My personal preference isn't the SD aesthetic but I'm sure a lot of people out there will want to know what brand SD handguard and suppressor you have on there so they can make their own.

Definitely made a top camo choice for your site there mate, certainly in this season. I like to see it, nice one.

I may not like it but no arguing with the design or the practicality of the end outcome. Eliminating the outer barrel entirely was definitely a smart move in the context.

Just some general tips for anyone with the same issues that I've gone with over the years (because I get exactly what you mean): -If going for a cap, get one that's mostly mesh (Anything that looks like the Arc'teryx BAC). -Look for an ear pro headband with spacer mesh (A&A Tac make some, again just an example for visual reference). -Also for ear pro, Noisefighters heatsyncs (don't know any equivalent product unfortunately). -Fan goggles help just that teeny tiny little bit or mesh eye pro if that's your preference. -The more of the lower face pro is metal mesh then, obviously, the better. I know balaclavas are even more the rage right now than ever before but they retain a lot of heat and sweat. Pretty sure a few people here have done DIY airflow for helmets.

I spend all my working days with L85s and 22s in front of me and it took a few minutes of looking at certain details to convince myself the gun wasn't real.

Playairsoft – a Crowd-sourced List of UK Airsoft Sites
TheFull9 replied to shadowfacex's topic in General Discussion
Gonna bump this myself because this needs and deserves a lot more eyeballs and traffic. I know there's at least 1 site just south of Oxford (a RIFT site I believe) that's not currently listed though not sure if that's because it's not been submitted or @shadowfacex is working through stuff. Would greatly encourage anyone who's not to bookmark this, start using it and recommending to friends. But more importantly submit any sites that aren't on there right now as I don't know of a single central resource listing every UK site and I guarantee tons of people out there are missing out on finding the places to play that suit them best because of that very issue. -
Stocks like that exist to get under big fat bullet resistant face shields/visors, nothing more needs saying really. French and German police specifically use such setups a fair bit.

'Stuff That's Just Arrived' is my vote for new thread title, removes ambiguity. -

2005 called. ? I'm impressed honestly. -
Have you tried it in a game/worn it yet so we can get a picture? Because I've seen guys wearing two minimaps like a PC but I always presumed that was just to really emulate the floaty feeling of a GMR person high on both drugs and instagram adoration as they get themselves kicked out from yet another milsim.

Can't remember if I posted this here recently, but anyway, the BCM is best as either just a hand-stop using a c-clamp or for the thumb break method. Something that short and fat is gonna suck for most people if you try and broomhandle it as per top right shown above. As a general rule, the shorter/smaller/fatter a thing is on your 6 o/clock rail the less hand you'll probably want to actually have on it. Longer/thinner = more of the grip surface area. The exception of course is a tac-sac. -

You can get the US issued parkas on eBay UK, they need a bit of tailoring to be vaguely practical for anything other than their original purposes though. If you don't mind importing there's a fair few brands that make shirts and combat shirts in the pattern now. -

Given the big ol' difference between quality ballistic rated goggles and the same goggles but with a fan, I think there's a huge need for simple ready-made kits (or at least the plans/links grouped together online) based on some common and popular goggle types in order for people do to these mods themselves.

Glad to see someone's out there enforcing ukara loicenses. The epitome of a truly great profession.

Given the trend for carry handles that's floating around atm it's something I've put some thinking time in to and it is the case that if you're not mounting a light/laser or only a light and no laser then you really don't need a freefloat handguard or indeed even a non-freefloat with pic, keymod or M-LOK. Especially with a high optics mount where the fixed front iron isn't getting in the way; though you do have 2 sets of irons now ofc lol. Freefloat is always nice on a firearm for shooting smaller things at farther distances but still not the end of the world and obviously makes no difference in airsoft.. maybe slightly to accuracy if you absolutely crank in to a wall/barricade but not to precision. Would have to say that sort of config is pretty close to being about as practical and efficient as I'd ever want for airsoft indoors while still looking like something that would actually work in any sense of 'reasonable' as a firearm.

Given the recent move of production of some optics to China by Sig and the comparatively high price of that for a 'replica' (not to mention that they hide all the trades in the listing pics) there's no denying it's a good possibility at least. Sig will do extra QC if this was the case and you'll have a higher lemon chance going straight to China, but interesting. -

The 'What have you just bought' Thread
TheFull9 replied to Cameron364's topic in Guns, Gear & Loadouts
I've tried BAD levers and equivalents on a few NGRS and GBB rifles over the years, came to the conclusion there's only 2 times to use them: 1. On a standard AEG where it does nothing it's literally just a little aesthetic piece 2. If you have a gun that's exactly real AR dimensions and the bolt catch/release does work (GBB, GBLS etc) However every airsoft gun I've tried either lacks the power in the system to actually push the paddle out when the mag is empty due to the extra leverage caused by the mass of the extension, or (TM recoils for example) are wider than a real AR so the end of the lever you'd actuate with your trigger finger (if right handed) hits the lower receiver and prevents the bolt lock actually engaging. I've read that if you bend a BAD lever it can work on TMs, though I haven't tried myself. I have a couple of LM4s with 2 brands of lever and they took extensive mill work to the bolt catch and rear face of lever to even fit in the first place and clear the upper, then if the gun was tilted left at all the extra weight would pull the paddle out and lock the bolt back when it wasn't supposed to, which meant adding more spring pressure to keep the paddle in the normal firing position. Next the paddles were smaller/differently shaped vs RS, so we used some quik steel and a set screw, then finally the issue of the power lacking in the system still crops up to an extent. If you follow the path, when you're out of BBs the main spring in the mag pushes up on the lever in the back of the mag that then pushes up on the bolt catch extension in the mag well, which is trying to drawbridge the external paddle away from the upper except those few grams that the BAD lever weighs are magnified by various points of leverage and function can end up being iffy. I don't know about the GHK and TM GBB ARs, but if they have specific levers that have been designed such that their dimensions and weight allow them to fully function on those *specific* models of airsoft guns, that's the accessory you're going to want. -
Just be as historically accurate as you personally want to be and let other people do the same. Don't be a russian-gear-forum obsessive crazy person, there's already too many of those. Years ago I gave some kid an actual heart attack by just commenting how I liked useful things like some areas of pic rail on certain parts of an AK.

Did they do just the 2 embroidered ones? Surprised they didn't have a higher minimum tbh that's very rare.
