2 x Avalon (VFC) BCM 14.5" AEGs SureFire X300 SureFire M300a FirstSpear Assaulters' Gun Belt, AGB Pad 6/12 and 6/12 Cummerbund Upgrade There was probably at least a month or more gap between the different orders but stuff always seems to end up arriving in one big lump for various reasons; customs inspections, differebt lengths of shipping delays etc. Proper shots of the rifles are coming of course, just waiting on some background material.

Hop doesn't kick in immediately with a titled gun (at least when I've experimented) and if you're using canted irons/an RDS you'll only be aiming with that backup because somebody's too close for your other optic. There'll probably be a bit of 'dead ground' in between the maximum straight flight distance of your BBs with the gun canted and the minimum useful range of the primary optic, but that's not too big of an issue IMHO.

Oh yeah it's fine. Trust me I've had that one many a time, ha. You expect it when you're only in your mid-twenties and don't even look that old. A few more summers working out in the sun and maybe I'll stop looking like a teenager. More airsofting, get the old skin good and weather worn.

Every morning. Grow a reasonable 'tache every year for movember. Luckily it only really grows in the goatee 'area' which makes being in a job where you're required to shave every day a lot easier. I wish I didn't need to at all frankly, it'd save a lot of time as well as money in razor blades.

I said chrome parts. That whole gun is a tactical mirror to shave in each morning. Totally different story.

Swapped the barrel and bushing on my Night Warrior, never been a fan of chrome parts on pistols other than wall hangers.

I generally go with a loop of paracord when it comes to fitting slings to overly-narrow sling mounts on guns. Problem is that so many designs of airsoft guns are based on very, very old iterations of the real firearms and the slings used back in those days were much simpler affairs that just threaded a 1-2" canvas/webbing strap directly through the mounts on the weapon á la the famous L85 3-point. The advantage with paracord vs a keyring, or any other metal or plastic solution, is that you'll get zero rattle or scratching from the interface device. Also greater flexibility, greater options for customisation (i.e. unlimited, it's just string after all) and IMO it just 'fits' better aesthetically.

Sling point on the gun too narrow?

R.e. the AR (which is looking good, nice paint work as per usual. Good, practical camo) it does have a lot of cool guy stuff sure, but it's not unrealistic. I wouldn't run a gun that heavy on account of my little match-stick arms but before the days of Daniel Defense rails it was pretty common to see all sorts of guys with 40mm'd up M4A1s/Mk18s as well as a lot of other gear on the forend. There's a lot of potential reasons for a PEQ plus a light, without even going in to the whole quagmire of IR stuffz it could be as simple as not having access to a ton of spare batteries in the field (or highly autonomous ops). So the light can be used for things that requires the use of a flashlight, then save the PEQ battery for making nice little sparkles on bad guys that are shortly getting a new sky light put in. Having tried EoTechs and Aimpoints with magnifiers I ended up moving back to either just a 4x optic or a 4x with docter/backup irons for the larger sites. Obviously it's subjective to gameplay and eyesight (mine is just bad enough to be a hindrance in airsoft) but I never found myself desperately needing a fully fledged red dot and the magnification, the compromise on the docter style seemed better given the weight saved. Each to their own of course.

Good thing you quoted all the pictures so it's now plastered all over the thread even more then eh? Not that it matters about this one either way, this just happened to be the only version WGC will sell internationally. I'll skirmish it and knock it around with use to see how it holds up, then get a buddy of mine in HK to send over one with all the correct Glock trades a bit further down the line (if this version does the job of course).

Picked this up in the same order as the Series70. Stark Arms 'S17'.

Never seen anyone go OTT on the purism with regards the 1911 platform, no beef with them. It's purely to accompany a rifle that I'm currently in the process of putting together. If only that wasn't such a niche item and they actually produced such a thing for airsoft replicas. The stock irons (as with the 1911A1) are just terrible. Spooky....

I'll just leave this riiiiight here.

Does the pistol cycle alright?

I love those odd-ball solutions to magazine capacities from back in the days before self loading firearms. There's a youtube channel called 'forgotten weapons' with some brilliant examples, particularly from the muzzle loading era. Not sure if anyone's played Metro 2033, but they definitely got the idea for the crazy rotating-belt fed shotgun in said game from a real life one-off/prototype black powder gun.

You should see it in the flesh. How they made plastic look and feel like this I don't know but it's quite amazing. Best fit + finish of any pistol I've shot/owned/handled/seen. Possibly of any airsoft weapon I've ever seen. Shame about what I'm going to do to it...

Quick unboxing shot before I get better pictures at home.

Order from WGC came through: -TM Series70 Nickel finish -Stark G17 + 1 extra mag -2 x 1911 grip panel sets - Colour TBA -Mechanix originals - " -King Arms ASAP style AR sling plate with a QD swivel Also just paid an invoice for a set of highly custom 1911 grips from VZ. Not going to say how much.

Yeah you get all sorts coming up. In terms of the high end kit it's generally the more established/better known brands, FS by comparison is very niche for example. But I've seen lots of Crye apparel, flashlights, radio stuff, handy little accessories like Sordin/comtac headband covers or covers for your hydration tubes in dozens of different camo patterns.. list goes on.

Ha, I wish I was that minted. Lucky eBay find (in the UK no less), it's brand spanker and they only put it up for sale since our issued plates don't fit it (derp). So someone that's allowed to use non-standard PCs but has to use issued plates? Could just be a rifles regiment bloke, who knows. I'll be stuck with osprey if/when I go anywhere. I think the AAC is a bit of an odd one really, if you buy the fully modular front panel and the modular cummerbund instead of the strap all you've actually got is an Amphibian, though it may cost a couple of dollars more for the AAC depending on the exact colour/size options. Compared to to the Strandhogg, the Amphibian is more sneaky-beaky-gucci because it's got the built in radio pouches at the front which is the new 'thing' plus there's comms wires routing, whereas the Strandhogg lacks the routers and radio carriers, but does have much more comfortable shoulder pads. So unless you're going to be carrying a pair of PRC-152s in to a skirmish, I think the Strandhogg is much better suited for airsoft (generally). Might be different for some mil-sim guys attending very expensive games involving boats, but they're not buying FS anyway because SEALs haven't been widely pictured using FS gear.

FirstSpear PC No 2 showed up yesterday.

Finally acquired all the Crye and OpsCore stuff to get my TMC AirFrame together the way I want, ready for mounting stuff. Now just to sort out the ear/eye/lower face pro I want on it. Think I might have to buy an OpsCore helmet now looking at things, the Crye rails don't have as much real estate *gulp*

No dremeling etc required on this one. King Arms rifle which is put together in the same was as the ancient and venerable TM AK i.e. nothing even slightly like the RS. Selector and mag release addition are KA as well. Frankly, it's a shoddy, low-quality feeling gun that falls apart when you try and use it, I can only presume it's nowhere near as nice as an LCT or Real Sword because a lot of it is just barely held together with hope and wishes. But it was purely built to troll on a certain group of other trolls, so I was only concerned with the aesthetics to be honest. Those pictures are at least 1.5-2 years old now so I'll take updated ones at some point, it looks a lot more USGI M4A1 these days. The AR front end goes on with an adapter block that goes in place of the usual AK front trunion, made by 'Action' some time back. I don't think they ever made any past the initial batch unfortunately, not seen them in stock for a long time. Well fortunately it was designed for people to hate it, so in its' own strange little way it's actually still doing the job.

Sometimes you've just gotta go prone-supported with a handgun.

Sweet, an excuse to post my AK.
