The MC does cost extra, but the basic price does allow you to choose between Black, FG, OD and Coyote. Also you can choose which hand and whether you want the shirt guard or not, they custom make it for you. Can take a little while depending on exactly what you pick, but if it's for a popular weapon you'll be unlucky if it takes them 5 days to ship out. The GSH is their standard model, but I went for the OSH because it's that bit lower profile and only costs $4 extra. Though do be aware you'll have to pay a little bit more for a mount, unlike SERPAs these don't come with belt mounts as standard. Worth it to mind.

Mag catch is exposed on SERPAs as well, so unless you've had a problem with the Blackhawk holsters you won't have a problem with the G-Code.

Heh, well I'm alright now, you should see some of my early efforts. It's taken me around 1000 pictures worth of practice to get to where I am, and that's just of weapons, doesn't include gear, loadouts or anything else non-airsoft. I'm also quite lucky in terms of having access to a decent, fairly modern camera. The basic keys to good photos are getting outside, finding a nice, uncluttered natural background and time it so you've got good clean sunlight. Even with a phone camera you can get decent snaps if you follow those simple rules, the problem people have is they too often use the light from average house-hold lightbulbs, combine that with flash and a phone camera and it's hard to make the end result look good. As I always say, even a cheap, battered gun can look amazing with the right photography. It's easy to make a £2000 rifle look cack in a bad photo though. Nice work, impressive for a first effort, keep it up. Can't remember if I'm entirely honest, I purchased that on a pre-order back in '08 when the ICS very first came out. I think fire-support have some stock in, they're my favourite retailer for RIFs in the UK.

Massive step forward, love everything G-Code. The holsters, the whole RTI system, the service from the site, all top of the line and very well designed. My Kimber is insanely tight inside the OSH but I'm certain that's down to the HurricanE metal kit rather than the holster, because all my TMs are fine. SERPAs are fine, never had a problem with any of mine in all my time airsofting, but G-Code make a much wider range of holster types, all of which comes in a much wider variety of colours and styles. All works on tension fit as well, the holsters don't even need a locking mechanism. Not that I'm saying the SERPA lock is complicated, but in a pinch situation when you need your pistol ASAP then an extra fraction of a second never hurt anybody.

From my cold dead hands! Honestly, I'll probably have some kind of coronary episode if I try and run around too much with that thing come summer time. Thanks. If you're referring to the white writing, that's just the NSN for that sling. It's an issue item, but I've no idea who it was ever issued to, I've only ever seen the normal green ones used (both in work and from pictures online).

I figured there's probably enough rifles out there now which follow the new standard and I'm also really not a fan of Grip-Pods, so I thought I'd keep to the legacy colour for plastic furniture on L85s. I find the RVG works brilliantly on there I have to say.

Yeah, I've seen that grip style used with the horizontally mounted handstop quite a lot. I'd just presumed that the users hand wouldn't interact with another stop placed in the position you've got that second one in. I've never tried anything along those lines myself though so I purely asked out of conjectured interest.

Presume she likes to utilise two different grip positions depending on the situation? Given the presence of the 2 LaRue hand-stops that is.

I'd think anyone using homophobic terms to describe certain things that they don't personally like has a incredibly poor attitude. Some people may consider that sort of thing to be funny or a 'joke' in some fashion, but this is 2012, not 1912. I'm sure the standard issue response to me will be "ligthen up" but pathetic, childish little plays on words like 'fagpul' simply don't fly on most forums, certainly not on arnies, and that's the way it should be. Your stance there isn't even anything remotely like the ones demonstrated in the Magpul DVDs, which makes his comment doubly ridiculous.

Good kit, nice and low on the profile. Slight shame about your friend's rather poor attitude.

I'm not a far of the suppressors-inside-rails looks but what you've put together is a very practical weapon. You had a problem, you found the parts to fix it and made the weapon function better, that's good stuff. It may not be the bleeding edge of modern tactical chic, but who cares? You've upgraded the ergonomics where they needed upgrading and made it comfortable and consistent, that constitutes a well thought out rifle in my books, good work.

Guessing the ACOG is a red-dot rather that magnifying?

It's nothing to do with logic or reason, they happen to see one guy at one site wearing MC and at that particular time he's sitting in dark mud so it doesn't work. Because they just hate on everything new and modern anyway, this to them automatically means that MC is totally ineffective all the time in every single possible situation. I've had similar debates about pretty much every single aspect of modern weaponry and tac gear at some point, but as they say: "haters gonna hate". I don't know what it is, there just seems to be some sort of imaginary implied 'coolness' about you if you buck the trend and slam on guys who happen to be using stuff that works when said stuff and also happens to be popular with a lot of other folks because... well.. it works (whatever 'it' is). Crazy how you tend to see lots of people using stuff that works... some sort of crazy logic going on there that's for sure...

Hey I'm not saying don't wear black, it's all personal choice and there are certainly worse colours. It's purely the fact I often bump in to people who come out with the same old tired "oh ma gawd... Multicams duz like, so not workz in t3h w00dz u n00b" and I get a bit bored of trying to reason with them.

That much of the time in Britain woods are not green, black gear and traditional woodland patterns don't work, and 'desert' colours (tan/khaki/coyote) are often the best choice. Cheers.

Aron, I think I love you a little bit. That first picture demonstrates a point I've been trying to get across for years absolutely perfectly, better than I'd have ever hoped for. Which site are you playing at there?

I made that part up to be honest, they've just changed a few details and small features and it was the easiest way I could think to highlight that fact. Sold my original version since this one fits my needs a bit better.

Lucky that front panel is going to be mostly covered up by mag pouches really.

MLE isn't a bad choice for MW2. A lot of the TF141 guys wear these fictional chest rig thingies (in different colours, depending on the level) which aren't too far off.

72? Try switching the numbers around mate. I live in the gucci new blocks and it's about 40/month with heating/water/leccy/cleaners/work services all included. I'm pretty much staying at this posting as long as I can tbh, so yeah, I'll be around when you start training. I just hope you know what you're getting in to, because I see the various recruit flights in and around the gym or out around camp an awful lot, and every time the phrase "wouldn't want to be in their shoes" pops in to my head, heh. Good gear choices too btw. I feel like I'm missing arm now-a-days when I run any weapon with my ASAP/MS2 combo, it's freakin awesome for skirmishing.

I tend to place orders, and then due to customs inspections and the different delivery speeds of different couriers they arrive sort of staggered rather than all in a one-er. I get asked the question every now and again, and to be honest yes I am lucky in that I can afford a fair bit of airsoft stuff, but trust me, most people wouldn't want to be me. The main reason I have expendable income is because I don't have the food and accommodation bills your average person has. I live in the barracks, and yes it's criminally cheap and perfectly liveable, but my room is smaller than a 'studio' flat so I can't actually store my airsoft gear/guns there. 98% of it has to stay at home and I only actually get my hands on all this kit I buy for a day or two every few weeks. Often 3-4 months go by where I don't get the time to come home with work and social commitments. Also having someone else decide what you eat every day, and then get it made on a shoe-string budget means I don't exactly spend my time wishing for the next meal, heh. Not that I'm bleeding my heart out here, there's guys in the army who spend 6 months in afghan every 18 months getting shot at for a far lower salary than I'm on. I'm in a job where I actually have to put a lot of effort in to try and get selected for deployment, and if I were to go out there, apart from the odd far away rocket, the major dangers would consist of boredom and eating too much Subway.
