I bought a Vector Frenzy 1x20x28 the other day. Surprised at how nicely made and finished it is. I liked it so much i bought a Frenzy X 1x22x26 for an upcoming gun build..

I suppose i'm a purist in the sense that i really like the standard 553 stock and grips. 😂 I only bought the hop-up on the basis of it being an available upgrade. I have no idea how to fit/adjust it yet. All that matters is that you like it and it works for you. I'm a bit boring in how i like my guns. A laser has arrived: I have two more on the way but this one might stay, it's just the perfect size. Clears the light mounting and below the sight lens. This might be this gun finished on the outside.👌🏻

Knock-off Surefire light Vector Optics 4x sight Vector Optics red dot sight Mini red laser Maple Leaf hop-up kit Wo Sport tracer/flash hider (flash maker) This is how it currently looks, just waiting on the laser and new flash hider. Acetech Bifrost R looks good and is great for muzzle flash but is a lousy tracer. The Wo Sport silencer/tracer is great though. Hopefully the new Wo Sport will be the best of both. The laser sight will sit on the front of the top rail. I've removed the front iron sight for it. Used some 45° brackets and a 9-slot rail to make the mount for the red dot. I have another bracket coming, if it's better i'll use it instead. This just clears the charging handle. These Vector Optics sights are really nice, and not too expensive either. The only other thing i've done is cut the joining tabs off the magazines. Got any pics of your 553? Thank you, Galvatron.

Thank you for this tip. I had one doing the same thing. Gave it a drop of silicone and it sorted it. 👌🏻

I've wanted an AKS-74U ever since i fist saw Goldeneye. 😂

Thank you, Enid. I have to say, the more i handle the 553 the more i like it. I'm waiting on some more bits for it to arrive then i'll get some pics. Quite tempted to get a 551 too, maybe convert it to a 550 sniper. 🤔

What's the quality of the LCTs like? They're very appealing at that price. This caught my eye: https://bbguns4less.co.uk/products/lct-airsoft-lcks-74un-full-metal-ak74-replica-aeg-in-wood.html

Hi Dan, yes as soon as i have it there'll be deeply embarassing pictures of me as a tactical seagull!

Hello all! I'm Moose, have read and lurked for a little while before joining. I'm totally new to airsofting, but have had a passing interest in guns for a long time as my dad used to do competition shooting and had a number of guns before the laws changed. Have bought a GHK SIG 553 to get started with but looking to get (many) more. Got my first airsoft match booked for Saturday, nighttime CQB at Combat Airsoft in Norfolk. Then hopefully going to RIFT in Abingdon on Sunday for the fancy dress Halloween game, dressed in a suitably naff seagull onesie. 😂

Yes, the Compact is made by KWA. It feels really nice, fits in my hand perfectly, functions and shoots perfectly. The slide just feels a little "light" and racks almost too smoothly. The ergonomics and function of it is just perfect. I've looked at the P8s and MK23s, but i prefer the USPs. I like the safety/decocker layout and the angled trigger guard. I'm just gonna have to buy one, aren't i? 🤔

Thank you for the reply. I'm definitely more inclined to have a metal slide and trademarks. (I'm picky.) If the Umarex USP is made by VFC then i imagine it's largely the same as my 4.5mm one, which is beautifully made. Apparently they're prone to trigger bars failing though if used in double action a lot. I currently have my USPc and 18C as viable sidearms, i actually like the USPc more out of the two. Might just have to add a full-size Umarex/VFC USP to the collection some time.. That 229 looks very nice!

This is exactly what i want to build. 😍

If your bills are paid you have no-one to answer to except yourself.

My GBB pistols, nothing special. 18c, 19G5, 42 and USP Compact. All are Umarex. The 42 has an awful trigger. I'll see if i can do something to improve it. Also not fond of the flared mag well on the 19G5, should've got a G3/4 instead, i just like the front serrations on the slide. What brand is it? I have a Umarex USP in 4.5mm and it's by far the nicest replica i've handled, the feel and weight is just right. On that basis i bought a Umarex USP Compact airsoft gun and it's very nice, but not quite as nice as its big brother. Part of me is keen to get a full-size USP airsoft gun.

Another tracer arrived, but one that looks like a silencer and not a flash hider. £63 from Amazon, it's very nicely made.

My first airsoft guns, GHK 553 Cerakote and Umarex (KWA?) USP Compact. (I have also bought 3 Umarex Glocks; 18C, 19G5 and 42 but not sure about them just yet.)

Was it easy to find that foregrip/bipod? I'd like to build a DMR just like that on the Umarex G3 base.

It looks like the original/early MP5 (A1?) handguard.
