Split the XPI's and tech light, the rest of it is chinesium crapola.

And because apparently I have no self-control on spending this month. (in my convoluted self-defence, it was about 45% off) Victoptics S6 1-6x24 LPVO in Burnt Bronze, with Co Witness mount of the same brand..

holy smokes batman.

This is clearly the "I spent almost as much as the rifle on overpriced repro bits added to the rifle, i'm going to be lazy and not list them separately"

I think i've had this today, starting to think that pistol is cursed. Why i'm now not going to mark something as pending again for the foreseeable.

And everywhere else.

My biggest issue is technically of my own making - i'm cack handed, so the stock folds the wrong way and all the controls are on the wrong side which is a major annoyance - had both the TM NGRS and WE GBB Scar L's ages ago, even then I got rid of it in favour of something else in both cases. As i'm planning to semi lock this and use it as a DMR, i'm probably going to get one of the Airsoft Artisan stock tube adapters and fit a Magpul PRS Lite to it, the quandary at the moment is whether the folding 1913 stock will work with the PRS Lite and still be able to fold, as that folds to the left side.

WE Scar H is still stuck in customs land, that however doesn't prevent me from ordering bits for it.. PTS Kinetic SCAR MREX M-Lok MK 2 4.25" Rail in DE PTS Dead Air KeyMicro Flash Hider (which will go on the DE N4, and i'll put the full size on the scar so I can use the suppressor for both) Maple Leaf Crazy Jet 370mm Inner Barrel Still deciding which avenue to go on other things before I spend yet more monies on it (Stock related things, as have never been a huge fan of the ugg boot)

Oh dear - and on the following day NIST reported a pair of active and exploitable vulnerabilities on that version as well, with scores of 9 and 10 respectively. I wouldn't be signing up to anything still running that version, as it's bye bye personal details.

It was at 2.0 in September 2023 - extremely miffed I never got up to their original site as that looked brilliant, the 2.0 site was decidedly meh, with this situation overshadowing it. Made it so none of us of a near 20 strong group who went that time, have returned since. I contemplated going again to give it another shot, but as i'm predominantly using systems with finicky PITA to adjust hop + a pretty much 2.5 hour drive each way, i've not really got the want to try. I'd heard great things about the other CQB site over that side of Scotland, but the decidedly ill informed reasoning for an arbritrary reason for significant hindrance to those on HPA tanks + the aforementioned hop messing + a more than 3 hour drive, makes me look at the Newcastle site as the only real CQB option for me now without getting on a plane or train.

For a start, Bakelite for AK's is not actually bakelite, its AG-S4 which is a formaldehyde based resin and doesn't have asbestos in it - you still want to be wearing a respirator whilst doing anything with it though. Secondly, the ultimate resource for anything WE AK is on the HRC discord in the WE AK channel here: https://discord.com/channels/531031882880647170/533655031048568832

People trying to buy RIF's asking a whole bunch of erronious questions and requesting videos of it functioning, then when push comes to shove and they're asked for proof of defence "Oh, I don't have one"...

It's not the essence of the game, but at the same time, if they really want to do it, i'm not going to get in a tizz about it - if they really want to listen to the drivel we put out on comms, have at it.

Doesn't work there either. My one and only visit, had multiple people running Saiga's through chrono on the site 0.2's, then using way above the permitted 0.25's on joule creep, resulting in bb's punching through facemasks at 20ft. One of the players was a marshal, and didn't get spot checked once all day despite multiple complaints. Meanwhile, anyone who made a complaint spent the rest of the day getting spot checked every 15 minutes, despite many of us being well under the limit.

Well he could, if he was in fact a retailer 👀

Still laughing at his Scar H advert - by the time mine has landed from KICBB (and paid HMRC & parcelfarce their pound of flesh), it'll have costed me less than £300 new for the V3, rather than the now defunct V2 he is selling. Even if I went and added absolutely everything to it that he's listed (which I wouldn't as the big ticket hop/barrel combo is trash), it still comes in at less than he's asking.

Definitely - they're not unobtanium, and new should be looking at around £200-225 for both items to make this.

There is no out of the box semi only MWS, so you'll have to modify the selector to remove the cam that engages the auto sear. 2J might be a stretch, even with a 400mm inner barrel. You will probably need to replace the TM nozzle with a Guns Modify 3.5, use Guns Modify PMags along with that, as combined they have a better seal and thus higher output. Obviously, you'll also want to get an NPAS if you somehow end up going over so you can adjust the output - Jaeger Precision or FEDA, almost all others are flat out junk. You'll also probably need to look at a moving weight buffer and stronger buffer spring to eliminate bolt bounce, which will happen, as the TM's especially are not designed to be run with that high of an output. You'll want an archwick PH+ adjuster for better adjustability with a laylax hop arm to be able to even lift 0.4's. There is one aspect of TM's that is entirely incompatible with AIPSC - the trigger is by far and away the vaguest of any GBBR, break and reset are barely discernable. It can be somewhat rectified by replacing the trigger box with an adjustable one like toxicant makes, but they're also unobtanium at the moment.

Land Warrior used to help with checks if you phoned them, don't know if they still do as its been about 5 years since I last did it.

Magnum's used to be made in Northampton, 14 years ago they shifted manufacturing to China and the quality fell off a cliff.

Apple watch - not worried about it getting shot out, as its taken many a hit at this point without having it happen - if it does, its insured for accidental damage anyway.
