    Had a bit of a splurge this month to relieve the melancholy of not having been able to skirmish for a while. :(

     

    Have managed to snag:

     

    M110 Spring

    Angel (prommy copy) straightpull trigger

    9 x G&P ball ball 130 rd midcaps

    A pair of Desert Lowa boots

    A tan radio pouch

    A pair of Emerson G3 multicam trousers

    A pair or real Crye Precision G3 airflex kneepads

    A Garmin Foretrex 101

    A 7.4v 2600mAh Lipo

    Some Blaster 0.25g tracer rounds

    Some Blaster 0.25g normal rounds

    Used shotgun cartridges to make my own shotty primer adapters for the BFG.

     

    And most of it will get an outing this weekend!

    Nope, can't make the forum paste anything.

     

    Search ebay for "Bianchi 580 Speed Strips"

     

    Seller I used was "rrdav7", but there is another one (who I didn't find before) whose shipping seems a little cheaper.

     

    You need the 0.38/0.357 ones, not the 0.45s

     

    I'm really pleased with it. Works like a charm and takes up next to no space in admin pouch/pocket.

     

    The heroshark tube looks good though...

    I drew a blank (no pun intended) looking for them in the UK. Ended up getting them through ebay. This guy is in Texas (yee-haw), but with tracked shipping it came to approx £14. I ended up getting three pairs and splitting them out between a bunch of mates as I only needed 1 strip, so it was £7 per strip.

     

    International shipping was quite prompt too. Seems like a decent seller.

     

    Dagnabit, can't paste the link!

    Not sure that a Glock mag would hold revolver blanks, Ed. You can get automatic 9mm rounds with no flange (snigger) on the base, but they won't work in a bfg. Just slip through the adapter (I *may* be speaking from personal experience in buying the wrong sort...)

     

    I use a Bianchi Speedstrip to keep 6 blanks handy and easy to load.

    Armoury complete.

     

    The AR is a Classic Army M15A4 sportline carbine with RIS. I'm happy with the external mods on the M15. (Eotech 552, Eolad 2, single point sling mount, suppressor, angled foregrip, mag-pulls). Might get a rear BUIS in future and maybe some magpul XTM rail covers, but other than that the outside is how I want it. Internally it's stock, but fine (pretty accurate and consistent 310-315 fps), although a madbull 6.03 tbb and a velocity enhancing hop bucking are on the future wish list.

     

    Glock is a completely stock CYMA G18C AEP. Firing around 220 fps. Bought for £15 from a mate who had not used it for 4 years and he didn't know if it would work. Got a £7.99 battery from JD Airsoft and it worked like a charm straight off the bat.

     

    All on a shoestring, too. Everything you see in the pic has been acquired for £251. Amazing how much money you can not spend if you try. Advice would be take your time, do some research, have some patience and shop around.
