Finally cracked and shelled out £40 for a double 5-7 mag pouch from TheVestGuy.com, sick of having to squeeze my mags into WAS pouches that are much too tight.

LOLZ, one US carrier battlegroup would and could faceroll most of our navy and airforce in a week. Supply chain is NOT an issue for America, they have so many ships it's unreal.

Weird, must have awesome air seals! Scar is now shooting 275fps with .25 BBs, new spring needed!

Finally put the tightbore in this afternoon, a 363 is a perfect fit, just short of the end of the outer barrel by about 3-4 mm, with the flash hider on that increases to about 15mm. Makes me wonder why TM put a 300mm one in there to begin with? Perhaps to make sure it was round about 300FPS for the Japanese market?

6 classic army mp5 mid-caps to go in the GSG-522 PK that I won in the raffle at the GZ weekender. But they don't fit, for some reason they're refusing to mate with the feed tube inside the top of the magwell... Modification needed!

So it's not quite wednesday... but here's what I'll be taking along to the NAE, excluding clothes, obviously... Looks like a lot of stuff, but when packed away it's actually a surprisingly low profile set up.

I'll post mine on wednesday when my new shiny belt arrives.

that's a LOT of mags!

While their gear is undoubtedly super high quality, for my needs it's a bit overkill! I was seriously considering a strandhogg for a short while though. That was until I realised that the RVOps.co.uk warehouse is about 15 mins away from my house, I'll be heading down there to buy a new chest rig and belt this afternoon probably. Just sold a buttload of old stuff on eBay, so I can justifiably afford to replace my china ciras.

Where did you get the 6094 from? I'm really keen to get one in multicam, but cannot find anywhere that has one in stock!

Well it comes with a 300mm barrel, but that falls way short of reaching the end of the outer barrel, I'll 'dry fit' the tight bore with no hop rubber first, if it all looks good I'll put it in.

haha, it certainly makes enough noise! What mods (if any) have you done to yours? I'm planning on putting a 363mm madbull 6.03 in there and that's about it. Can't really justify switching to LiPo for this one since the ROF is great on an 8.4 NiMh and the battery compartment is just the right size. In other news, the Tornado arrived this morning, have chucked it into the back yard a couple of times, so far so good, it's a LOT lighter than I expected, and smaller too, fits comfortably into a standard single M4 pouch, I was expecting it to be quite bulky, like a coke can kinda size. Real test is wednesday evening, gonna give it a go at Southwest Wargames CQB site, I'll chuck up a quick review ASAP.

So no tornado in the post yet (expecting it tomorrow), but I have just made my single man's frivolous purchase for the month and next month also, probably the month after too! My M4 is in the shop being repaired after a complete failure last weekend, pulled trigger... nothing happened. Bummer. Absolutely worth it though, one Tokyo Marui SCAR-L: Uploaded with ImageShack.us Whole thing just oozes quality, really solidly built and it sounds AWESOME, haven't taken it out for a bash yet but it'll be getting a good run out next wednesday. Bought a 5 pack of MAG 190 round midcaps to go with it, had to do a little bit of a mod to them so that the magazine catch on the rifle would engage properly, but all's well after a little work with some pliers. Huge props to Fire-Support.co.uk also, who supplied the magazine adapter, I ordered a SOPMOD one expecting to have to file the sides flat so it would fit, but it appears someone there remembered me phoning them earlier in the week and they sent me a SCAR specific one instead, just dropped right in! Of course... had they advertised on their website that they had SCAR ones then I'd have ordered that instead, but still, the customer isn't always right and in this instance I'm happy to have been corrected!

Will do, not sure when I'm skirmishing next, probably the GZ Weekender, but I'm pretty sure my back garden is going to be peppered with BB's as soon as I get it!

Oh dear, when you said PODL I thought you meant Post Operational Deployment Leave! Falklands!! MPA is like butlins with rubbish weather, I've been on more operational trips to the pub than 4 months in the Falklands! Some nice stuff there though, 7 months at sea from september (boo, hiss) should sort my finances out a treat. And then I can splurge massively on the credit card for 6 months before going away again... never learn.
