Was asked to knock up a Magpul style MP5 handguard as the real thing seems to be out of stock everywhere. It's not an exact copy but close enough I think.
Top one is printed smooth in ABS and the bottom one in PLA using the Bambu labs fuzzy setting.

bit of a round robin of airsoft retailers to buy some bits.
CT25 from Zeroone as it was cheap due to the closing down sale.
EMG loader from BZ as I'm lazy this fills all my mags without any problems
new impact from JD which is lightweight compared to others I've used.

Yeah, I'm unlikely to use mine in game anyway but I don't think I'd trust it to last without issues.

You really need an AK47 & AKM in there.

Guess I best get the PKP don’t want to be accused of copying haha 😂

After AirsoftWorld didn’t want to reply to my emails and never called me back regarding the Raptor PKP, I opted for the next best thing.
 
A&K PKM with real wood 😍 Looking forwards to running it next weekend 😏

I sold a couple of guns to a buddy (including an old TM SPAS 12). I'll be reacquiring them along with the rest of his collection as he's moved to Australia and the guy that was looking after them wants the space in his shed back!

New toy, yet to be tried out properly....love it already. Noveske N4, 120% recoil spring and aluminium buffer with one weight. Jaeger precisions npas installed and that's a nice one i must be honest.

Anything else coming ?

No, as my old pews were destroyed by the police in 96 but FaceAche keeps suggesting my ex as someone I might know... does that count?

When the Raptor Grach was announced, I asked my local shop to get me one in with an extra mag, mount etc. Ended up selling it back to them due it being awful. About three years later, walk in and see another one sitting on the counter with the current owner asking if the shop owner wanted to buy it back (They didn't).
 
I was chatting to the guy and he was explaining what was wrong with it, and I was responding to all the issues with "Mine did that too", only to then find out the guy had bought it from the shop owner 3 years ago! I offered him a reasonable amount for it, to which he accepted and so now one of the coolest (IMO) GBBP's is back in my collection! And yes, it's still barely useable... 😭

Okie doke. Thanks for the input everyone. Ill clean it up and stick it up here as soon as my ads refresh. Already hit my 10 listing cap this week XD

Lucky it's only 6mm BB's getting thrown about.

Meanwhile in the real world UK female body armour has recently been issued to serving personnel

Last game at Red Alert (Newbury), pictures by Dan Wiltshire. Great day, great game. 20+ year old Famas coming out of retirement after 15 years of being in a basement. Luke Dobson slapped it back into shape and it ran fiiiiine.

Ridiculously easy.

👋 New guy to AS.....playing for a few months now.....just entered the rabbit hole 🤣 realising you could spend thousands quite easily!
 
My AR....pretty standard starter.

A fair few to keep me happy 
 
But this is over the course of 20 years playing, buying broken, fixing and selling on 
^^ this 
 
B&T is real world stuff 
I think they are still going but like most manufacturers you can't just buy direct from them you have to go via shops 
 
I say the old stuff is amazing, can't say I've had anything new from them for a number of years but if a CA G3 came up I'd snap someone's arm off for it 

There was a thread started months ago asking the same thing but I'm afraid I couldn't find it for you, I'd recommend a basic molle vest like nighthawkkhan  suggests. if it helps... I'm a big fat lad with tits & the comfiest I've found is an old issued rig in the pic, I have a couple of other chest rigs & belt rigs but the FLC I have pulls on my neck when loaded up & the belt rigs are awkward to reach the pouches coz my belly gets in the way.
 
This is my 'go to set up'.

It's something we're lacking here in the south east, so when a visit to the private range I use the owner asked me what was something that's missing down this way and I jokingly said 
 
"Build a killhouse" 
 
And he said OK 😂
 
So now K42 is getting it's own killhouse which I can't complain about even if we are doing all the work, this site isn't going to be a walk on public typical skirmish place but once it's done it will be an invite only to other teams we want to run with
 
Here's some progress photos from the first 5 hours between two of us on day one 

I've bought 'one or two' from the classifieds & the one's that aren't in original boxes are generally in adapted boxes whether it's a random amazon box or a couple of boxes taped together, only ever had one issue where the seller really didn't wrap or pad the box for posting & the pew rattled about so much it had fallen out (presumably at a posties feet to the call of WTF???). Whatever you use just make sure it's secure.
