  1. From their T&C’s: “International Orders: HK Parts will NOT ship outside the United States. No exceptions will be made. We can ship to your preferred US based licensed export company or you can also use the services of the following licensed exporter: Global Defense Trade Network – https://www.globaldefense.us/services/ “ GDTN looks to be a B2B exporter but you could always ask. otherwise it might be worth looking at one of those “my US address” forwarders that you can sign up with if this isn’t an ITAR item. As GiantKiwi said importing it here shouldn’t actually be a problem as it’s not a pressure bearing part or anything like that.
  2. I'm really late to this one but thats also a C2R helmet cover. One of them alone went for £250 on ebay recently. Not everyones cup of tea unless you're really into an impression but worth pointing out in the interest of fairness. Edit: Ignore me, its an ODG. I misread.
  3. I’ve had good success with the team Wendy replica pads / harness set from Aliexpress. i put them in FMA L/XL lids and it’s the only way I’ve been able to get a comfortable fit.
  4. Does anyone know of any replicas or clones of the Blackhawk Chest Magazine Pouches chest rig? Can’t seem to find anything other than a few on websites I’ve never heard of before.

      @DerDer Thanks! I've seen this, and the Onward Research Recce Rig Clones which are similar, but yeah as you say more buckles. Might just need to get one of them and DIY the straps myself with the sewing machine.

      From having had one many moons ago before offloading it, might be an easy enough task. The straps were plenty long and the construction was basic polyester. Shouldn't be too hard going versus some overbuilt cordura tac vest. Good luck with the project.

      A slower shipping option but might save you breaking out the sewing machine:

  5. Some might suggest going for something cheaper, but at the end of the day it is a toy and how you play with it is up to yourself, if it is what you want and you can afford I don't see any reason not to. I love my MWS, it's the second one I've had. I sold the first one after a hiatus from the sport and regretted it so got another one. They're great fun and have loads of parts available if you think like me, tinkering / building might become a bit of a hobby too. It depends what you want from it also, if you want more recoil or realism in the internals someone more knowledgable than I might recommend something else - I think the GHK is the alternative? Then there's of course shell ejecting options if you're into that, or there might be cheaper, less skirmishable options out there that are suitable for plinking.
  6. Really cool. Been working on something similar with the Pentagon Rogue Jeans and hiking trousers, but with t shirts instead, sort of what you see US Army SF wear on exercise Robin Sage. What IWB holster did you go with? I've got the Blackhawk "Junk drawer" for appendix carry.
  7. I'm having this issue with the entire site pretty much. I've only managed to get to this thread via the activity feed in Discord. Started for me last night with just the classifieds but now I get it everywhere.
  8. I think perhaps this is being misinterpeted. I didn't read it as they're looking to recruit airsofters at all. What I took from it is that the MOD are looking to procure RIFs for use at recruiting events. I'm sure we've all seen the recruiting tables where real weapons are chained to the table and you're allowed to pick them up and handle them. I imagine the RIFs are for a similar purpose, and can also perhaps be used for small shooting ranges alongside the stalls, as well as allowing more stalls to be set up, without having to tie up real weapons. There comes your engagement part - young guys with an interest in firearms, probably not even knowing what airsoft is, walk past the stall and get invited to come and try shooting one for free. Wow- this is fun - how'd you like to get paid to shoot real ones?
  9. DNA M16A2 A Frame Front sight without the bayonet Lug DNA M16a1 Profile Front Sight Post DNA M723 Round Hanguard Cap - I tried ordering some genuine ones from Brownells but was twice sent versions with m203 cutouts before being told they no longer have ANY fully round handguard caps. ? Guns Modify CQD Endplate Also scooped up a Warlord Tactical DIS Carry handle on Ebay so will be selling the 3d printed one I got from Lore Tapparella. Just waiting on hearing back from Jim at LC's engineering outposts about the receiver mods and a few other bits, but all the parts for the L119a1 MWS build are at least obtained now.
  10. Been following this for a while. I yearn for a shell ejecting m249 or m240. I don't even care if the bb's are in the shells, they can be in a top magazine like the VFC M249, or there was another one I saw on youtube one which had an internal magazine/hopper in the receiver. The shells and links would need to be biodegradable & disposable to make it or any shell ejecting RIF viable though... I'm not picking them up! That said, if one was going to all that effort you'd be aswell inventing a new hobby with caps or something in the shells for feedback and just having lasers on the end of the RIF to do something like the MILES or TES systems.?
  11. I was actually going to volunteer myself for exactly this the other week... I have a manufacturer I use for Woven Hook & Look Patches that I sell for a client but would be able to find a PVC patch supplier relatively quickly if that was the preferred type. If there's no objection from the Mods and everyone could reach a consensus on patch type and size I'll look into it. The ones I currently do are roughly 50mm x 60mm Woven Hook and Loop Die cut (unique shape) and sell for £5 each or 3 for £10 + £2.80 Royal mail 48 Tracked postage.
  12. Asking for both AEGs and GBBRs: Is there any inherent problem that would arise from storing RIFs with the upper and lower receiver split so they take up less space? For context, I am looking at the possibility of splitting the upper and lower on both my M4's and storing them strapped to a rigid molle panel in the lid of a Pelican 1650, rather than laying them on top of all my other gear. Other than the obvious issues of dust, debris, internal parts potentially getting damaged etc which should be minimised by them being in the case - is there anything else I need to look out for? I may well just be overthinking this.
  13. I have a tan one new in the packaging... I'll start the bidding at £500 due to rarity and difficulty obtaining. Don't lowball me I know what I've got??
  14. I'm not in the loop so probably cheaper than this second hand, and I'm not sure this is the best price, but £420 as far as I can see from a quick google. Saw some secondhand for £260 in kitpest that had sold. (https://www.uktactical.com/product/crye-precision-combat-pants-gen-3-multicam-11169)
  15. I'll preface this by saying I've never owned a set of Cryes, I had a set of Emerson knock offs once that I sold on, and I have no idea about the various generations or their costs. But saw these pop up on Dragon Supplies and thought they might of interest to some as a cheaper alternative to the real deal. https://dragonsupplies.co.uk/dragon-field-trousers
  16. Sad to see another site go. Not sure if it's still there as I'm up in Scotland now - but there is (or was) also Tactical Warfare Airsoft in Croydon/New Addington. That's where I started out 12 years ago!
  17. 5KU 10 inch MWS outer barrel Guarder Rubber Stock Pad The project continues - HAO buffer tube and castle nut will be the next purchases I'll get some when I have better lighting - everything just arrived today but happy with everything. The stocks need the spring and ping from a donor stock. Little bit of filing requiried to get the pin from a TM MWS M4A1 stock to fit properly in the holes. Worth noting also that the Front sight requires a Front sight post so I'm going to have to salvage one from somewhere - but I might just sell it and the barrel extension on and stick to a 10 inch version.
  18. All from Lore Tapella... going back down the L119a1 Rabbit hole. - 2 x texturised C8 Stocks - 1 x Reinforced Front Sight - 1 x Extension for a 16" barrel - 1 x DIS carry handle
  19. If E&C are actually G&P clones like I've heard - my G&P M4a1 doesn't close either. Apparently, this is just a G&P 'thing' and not a defect: https://www.airsoftsociety.com/threads/closeable-dust-cover-g-p-m4-help.94506/
  20. As far as I know: Full auto rather than burst, A1 style Carry handle Sight, Painted in the same black paint as SLR's rather than the usual grey. Beyond that I think it's nuances in markings like having serial numbers on both halves of the receiver and the crows foot / broad arrow stamp.
  21. What's the general consensus / go to for an Elcan Specter DR in locomotive Brown? It's mainly for looks so I'm not bothered if it's just a 1x red dot. I've seen the Holy warrior offering for £215 in the UK or some Aliexpress Jobs ranging from £100-150. (I'll be honest I was never expecting them to be this expensive - but I've never been one for buying scopes!)
  22. Second this. I’ve previously had to stick to MICH type helmets and cut the pads in half. I did manage to find some off the market thinner than usual pads that worked with a fast helmet for me before but having recently done exactly as above I can confirm it’s the best fitting and most comfortable option I’ve tried.
  23. I know it's never been an option with original TM MWS Magazines, but given that there are now things like the Guns Modify, SAA and T8 Pmags for the MWS, is it plausible to fit the internals from one of those aftermarket magazines into an Emag shell?

     

  24. Awesome! What's the camera set up you're running? Is it a contour on a goggle strap mount?
  25. Hey all, Not sure I want to part with this, but as I’ve just got a G19 I feel obligated to do so! Was wondering what it would be worth? TM G17 Guarder Enhanced Full kit 2 Gas tight magazines 1 leaking magazine (gas hisses from around the fill valve - I think just an o ring?) very lightly used, have fired maybe 4-6 magazines through it and the obligatory cocking and playing with in the house. Cheers!
