Slowly getting to how I want it, got the FTC mount on order, probably going to cheapskate on a repro chinese G43 for the moment, and get the Vortex Micro3X down the line when I can justify dropping £300 on a magnifier, to match with the Vortex Crossfire.

OK - Exfog is a doddle to set up. The XT's come with the little magnet hose things, push the adapter through a hole in the seal vents (desert locust for me), point at the lens and you're golden - don't need to make any destructive holes or anything. If you have active headsets, you are going to hear every little bit of it functioning, but its easy enough to switch off when you don't need it. The vent is on the bottom of the unit and the hose adapter actually creates an intake space, so unless you're using a really restricting pouch it will have plenty of space. I got the XT without the headband for ~£50 from Specs4sports, which I think makes it about £10 cheaper than the Novshit. I could feel the air even on the lowest setting, and the full power burst mode is mental.

Novshit one has a crappy plastic box that can be shattered with a direct hit from a 1.7J BB though, which was what turned me off it, rather than having to punch the hole. Yup XT is what i have arriving today, from reading the promotional guff again, it looks like it also has magnetic attachments now as well, except it doesn't look like it needs to butcher the recipient goggles in the process.

I can tell you soon, as I've got one on order due to arrive this week ?

There was a 911 992 GT3 at 130k at Porsche Perth just before Christmas, the first time one has been below list price for nearly 2 years, and its because the entire UK car market is affected by a 5+ percent downturn in values across the board - What happens in London affects the entire UK on residuals.

"I bought a load of pointlessly expensive accessories and want to charge you for my mistake, on what is essentially a bog standard WE GBB M4 in a quite potentially unskirmishable state."

I don't know why these have become a thing regardless, Li-Ion are crap for high current requirements. Odds on he overpaid at LWA and is trying to sell for paid price ?

Swings and roundabouts - These were not ever intended for airsofters, but its not a dreamer, because its something that given the right market, is not taking the piss. Sisal won't last 10+ years if looked after, properly spun Jute will.

Yes, but they are really, really expensive.

Natural fibre is an absolute dick to work with preparing etc, so that is why it costs so much. A 200m spool of properly produced Jute at 4/5mm diameter can be upwards of £400 on its own, before anything has been done with it. Basically, its monstrously overkill for airsoft, but then some donkeys run around with real plates in so..

Email rebounds, facebook page doesn't exist - i'd say, probably steer clear.

Yup it was positively space age compared to the death by trigger pulls 'n' beeps process of other programmable units of the time.

Going through Istanbul, anything other than shipping it internationally, probably not a chance in hell - its nigh on impossible to properly document them to meet the Turkish requirements for importing firearm replicas, even those in transit to elsewhere.

As they’re considered a consumable - get a few of the newer Ratech magnetic NPAS plastic nozzles (aluminium are prime grade wank in UK weather, cool down too severe)

UK sellers are really, really unlikely to have most of those in stock, and definitely won't have the main seal in stock - https://www.kyairsoft.com/ is go to for all parts WE.

Baffles do exist if you have access to a 3d printer, but they only seem to be noticeable in difference on things either HPA engine or spring based. Better off with foam overall though.

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.

So, after a chat with UK distributor - The OEM is KWA, not VFC - the VFC photo circulating was fake, created by them for a giggle, knowing full well how the rumour mill likes to go to the races with things like that. The mags are made using 3D Printing, so given the aluminium, this implies DMLS - they're somewhere between half to two thirds the weight of the original KWA Vector GBB mags.

That is an Ares OEM part - it came either on the gun or not at all, so unless someone has one floating about from yesteryear, it'll be unlikely.

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.

Krytac themselves have been touting that they're Aluminium alloy (obviously with the american spelling mistake) and polymer, so thats promising.

Action Army AAP-01 basically.

Coming back into this this year after having stopped due to expensive operations back in 2018/9. In my infinite wisdom, I sold a lot of stuff on or gave it away to those who didn't necessarily have the cash to hand, so apart from one long and sidearm, was pretty much from scratch. Gear - £735.19 WAS DCS SQM3 - £159.95 WAS Sabre Drop Leg - £55.96 WAS Gen 2 Dump Pouch - £26.36 WAS Drop Down Utility Pouch - £37.56 WAS Double Quick Mag - £26.36 Viper Lazer belt - £25 Viper Molle Day Pack £29 Nuprol SF Air helmet - £70 Nuprol Holster - £15 Earmor M32HC + PTT - £150 Gearbox rebuild on my AEG - £30 3x AAP-01 Green Gas Mags - £60 5x CYMA AK Mags - £50 Guns - £400 RATECH AAC 300BLK 9" (WE Base) with 7 Pmags - £400 Gamedays - £260 3x Enemy Down - £75 + £30 in petrol 2x Section 8 - £50 + £30 in petrol 1x The Depot 2.0 £35 + £70 in petrol (understandably, not in a huge rush to go back there tbh) Total - £1395.19 Admittedly, about half of that was since my last actual game, bloody lurgy. Luckily, for most little tidbits of plastic, I can just print it instead of coughing up money, so that's probably saved me at least £100.

That site is just filled with gems - must be because of the spelling, but there are no bargains in that bargian bin, only piss takes.

See, I just did the stupid thing and looked for STL's for a WE Mag loader, then spent 7.5 hours printing it as I hate those little speedloaders. https://cults3d.com/en/3d-model/various/we-tech-m4-airsoft-speedloader Won't be printing it again, as that was tedious.
