    Hi guys I do have ordered one from impulse101  Airsoft but they stuck on Uk customs for about month now do anyone knows how to sort that out many thank you 

    Did you give them your UKARA or site membership number for the package ?

     

  2. You can use the FAL mags in the L1-A1 if you put some tape on the top of the mag . Not the other way around though IIRC but i'll try later .

     

    They are different because the real ones are . FAL are metric tooling and L1-A1 are imperial tooling

    Several year ago, I was at a very badly run "milsim" where a player launched a TAG that hit an opposing player; the confrontation afterwards was interesting.  The whole event was an utter shit show and lots of us left early.

    I remember that but when the footage came out from the team that got "hit" it actually showed the tag didnt hit him but landed several feet in front and he broke his scar stock under his armpit as he flinched 

    These extended firing pins have been available from other shops for many months but EE obviously have a bigger audience 

  4. I've found mags at home that were loaded and left around since the 90s and they still work fine . Mostly TM aeg magazines as i just rarely use aegs and have mags i've forgotten about.

    I have never had a mag fail because of being left loaded , only new mags failing because they were bad right from the box 

  5. Ah apologies I got lost in all the tickets and what connected to what sorry.

     

    I do wish you the best of luck and if nothing else I would love to see an alternative to the Airsoft AIDS that is the ground zero Weekender. 

     

    I've just been around far too long and seen far too many of these schemes over the years to trust things on face value with very little info.

     

    If you pull this off I'll be super impressed

  6. I'll be honest this is looking very much like the airsoft equivalent of Fyre festival . 

    Just from a numbers point of view  .

     

    You need 1000 paying players just to get the primary prize money from admissions and that's without taking into account the rest of the event costs which for something of this size would be substantial.

     

    The website gives no real detail but just one line bullet points of the week.

     

    The website also shows  a fire service presence on site for the week which i am highly dubious of having worked with blue light services for various events and organisations.

     

    No information on the people running the event or even their identity , no limited company registered that i can find , no indication that the amount of interest is actaully there to make the event viable at this stage.

     

    I do not envy the organisers trying to get this started and appreciate the effort it takes to get this kind of event set up . However without anything more solid I just don't see it as viable.

     

    I am surprised at some of the "sponsors" of this event as if it does turn out to be a fyre festival type affair there are some big, well trusted names that would need to ask themselves some very serious questions down the line

    Ah nice. I'm inclined to have a go at printing the one that is a fully functional unit first (Flash hider, suppressor and heat shield as separate components that can be assembled as on the real one), as the threaded insert bit does seem a little bit meh on those.

    I actually do have one that's two part (supressor and heat shield )

    Did you use the all in one MCQ-PRT from the outfit in Portugal?

     

    Been building a parts list for mine - with the exception mine will be more to the KS-1 side of things as I cannot be bothered with cerakote or rattle can.

    I was part of the commissioning batch but mine is counter sunk to make my 14.5" barrel appear to be 13.7"

  9. Having used both slat wall and trellis I will say use trellis/grid wall rather than slat wall or peg wall for sure. 

    Grid wall is cheaper , lighter and far easier to configure and fit than slat wall . I've got a full wall of slat wall and it's so heavy and also requires some heavy duty fixings

    Did you get ay further with this load out?

     

    Having recently acquired an MP5 I'm thinking of assembling an Iranian embassy style loadout.

    Honestly to get it right you will be spending thousands and it will take years to find everything you need if you are lucky

    The kit is a good start. I would raise the holster and mag pouches a little higher up your legs.  As the real ones would sit around your pocket area and not the thigh. 

     

    As for the MP5, a few bits will need to change. The forgrip was early type, I believe octagon airsoft still have some. 

    The lower will need to be the SEF type lower and not the navy type. 

    The original torch was not a maglight,

    It's a streamlight SL20. 

    I'm happy to help you go through the mp5 as built one myself.

     

    Why does everyone doing an embassy MP5 do the torch when there were only 3 or 4 of them at princes gate

    Hallo,

     

    would you show us the email?

    Here in Germany the people going crazy, as i told them that possibly there will be no Gen 5 GHK Glock!

     

    I would really appreciate that!

    Latest news from GHK. The gen 5 is coming but it will be aluminium slide only as Umarex wanted a lower price point. They do plan on selling the steel slide seperately though
