That was definitely a bonkers-low price and tbh you have checked an option that says they're 'unable to take your order at this time', but I also hope they don't pull the rug on you because that'll be the bargain of the year.

There's very little manufacture of tactical clothing in the UK and what there is is expensive, so I'd be very very curious where these are made. The 'G3' pads look exactly like typical chinese airsoft copies of the Crye pads. Not saying anything without evidence, but even though the trousers are just a G3 Combat pant knock-off with no R&D expenditure that price is still surprisingly low.

Honestly the ranges people are always getting from their guns on here vs all the shooting I've ever seen at any game in my entire life are just amazingly impressive. I need to know what hop rubbers AFUK members are buying.

Took a pic while I temporarily owned 2 x 203s.

I've been after a high end, modern style, electric, 308-sized rifle for at least a year now, but trying to choose which has been elusive. There's a lot fewer options than the 556 electric world of course and the magazine compatibility/availability is far more limited and a tad awkward. I think I've narrowed my selection down to one of the above, so open to any and all experiences folks have. I think I've looked at every option that's out there (quite easy, there aren't many), but will happily read any other suggestions too.

I was looking through various TM 1911 parts diagrams a while back and the exact same screw had different part #s in each gun; so that seems to be a thing they do.

Finally I can put this on here. (I didn't make it or take the pic and it's not airsoft, just to be crystal)

Question for me is, why do people come in to the game and end up thinking that? I'd say it's a combo of social media influenzas and the good old phenomena of retailers marking their spare parts section as 'Upgrades' when it should actually say 'Sidegrades and/or downgrade after you've messed with your gun'.

Some time next year there'll quite possibly be at least one AEG retail option show up I'd imagine, there's already at least 1 MWS kit I've seen. Obviously anyone who wants a project can get a lot to sink their teeth in to with these, but if you just want a 403 for the lowest cost vs spending a lot of time and money on a build, I feel like the very end of 2024 could be a risky time to start (speaking more to the lurkers here, I know you like building stuff @Anonymoose).

It got to customs 2 days ago at essentially the very busiest time of the entire year? Yeah buckle in for a good old wait yet, doubt they're in work for the bank holidays either (at the very least).

Bits from Fire-Support. Parts from weapons762/ebairsoft aka the artist formerly known as ebaybanned. Stuff from 18airsoft. Things from WGC. Honestly, didn't expect the TTI Glock mag to be gas tight on arrival, but surprisingly it is. Was a lot cheaper than my Guarder lightweight/aluminium extended mags and might even be a tad lighter. Not a realistic mag replica but comes in various colours and functions in my VFC and TM Glocks; pretty good deal. If it holds up long term I'll really be impressed. The carbon fiber bits are the most stupidly extravagant purchases I have ever made for my RIFs, not a smart move but I'm just out here min-maxxing certain things what can I say. If anyone can guess my current build project they win.. absolutely nothing because it should be an easy guess ?

If the way you mostly enjoy the game is going for the objectives and trying to win, then a gun with comparatively tiny mag capacity and a more significant logistical train won't help. But if you just enjoy being out and pew pewing at folks and everything else be damned, then the more realistic gun will add a lot to that (though maybe not so much in the winter..) Looking at your specific personal situation, I don't think 1 AEG and 1 GBBR is necessarily the best move. To me, that's a lot of extra shizzle to cart along to every game with mags and power sources not being compatible between your 2 guns. Some people will find that totally worth it of course. The pendulum has massively swung on the whole GBB rifle thing of course and right now it's all the way on the gas side, but I think 2 decent AEGs makes the most sense for playing this game, a base line as it were. Especially if said 2 RIFs can share mags, batteries and BBs.

Love 4x or more for spotting peoples arm bands through the brush myself, but I don't wear my glasses in games; and you certainly don't require it anyway. End of the day, if you're at a site and ask anyone with a scope to take a quick gander through it for a sec to see how you like it they're going to say yes.

You'd have to take the whole gearbox apart to change the trigger, can be done for sure but depends how confident you are taking the gun right down to components. It also comes with a copy of an early type Geissele Mk16 rail and it has a Geissele style charging handle already, so not sure why you'd change them? You can put on whichever airsoft or real stock you like but obviously it has to have room for your battery. Pistol grip is an easy swap with some screw drivers for any AR AEG grip and there's chinese copies of Magpul pistol grips out there under various names, but of course be sure to refit the motor properly and adjust accordingly.

jk jk I think I last saw one of those a solid decade ago, had forgotten they even existed actually, cool find. Granted, I'd rather seen it on a Gen3 can't deny that lol, but with the vertical moulding it does blend with the lines on the 5 for sure; weirdly well in fact.

The PTS is the base line for actually attaching NV to imho, but you'd still want to make sure to give the mount a good wiggle before setting off with any setup. I had their Flux for a bit and compared to it to my real MTEK carbon, and taking price difference in to account it's definitely a solid option. Obviously any carbon or bump from Ops-Core will be good, probably TW too but I've never tried any of those myself to be able to comment. There's also the various soft mount 'skull crushers' if you want something purely to mount NV with minimal bulk and weight and cheaper than the real helmets. I've only tried the Tracer Tactical one which is great, but any of them from a quality gear brand is an option.

Please be wrong elsewhere. x

Unless you want to spend a fair bit on something new production, sounds like time to dig around local surplus/ebay for an old issued Minimi or GPMG sling. They're super wide and well padded and built to outlast all of us.

Most likely a lot longer than the Secutor overall.

Any idea what's actually wrong with it exactly? Mine has died on me a couple of times over the years, first the wiring/electrics, then the piston totally sheared in half. Been fully resurrected both times, still ticking along. Currently in with Negative to get another check up and potentially improvements. We chatted about about them for a bit and I'd have to say I think it'd have to be pretty nuclear-bad for it to be totally unsalvageable. Feel free to DM me at any point if you like to discuss it.

You get *half* a gun, since the TMH is away with the standard issue style body getting worked on. The base idea was to do a really modernised L85 Carbine (i.e. not the L22) without going down the more unusual routes like fitting a CASV. Haven't finalised the muzzle or optic/s yet, but there will be a silencer in the mix as an option.

Most of 2023's purchases.

Any military officer or civilian of high enough rank who's involved with that sort of program can decide at any time they don't like the feeling of x, y or z and write it in to the contract. I'm not saying that has happened here, but it's the sort of thing that does and can happen. As always, the only proof of the pudding will be eating it i.e. wait and see. That's all anyone can do.

Took me hours of work to get from the top to the bottom.
