Just hit the button on a CYMA AKS74U. £130 in the sale from Airsoft Armoury. Nice.

Used to wear Magnum Patrols but recently replaced them with a pair of Meindl Desert Foxes. Much nicer! Neither are good for woodland though. The Magnum sole wasn't aggressive enough for mud and the Meindls aren't waterproof!

Sweet! Didn't realise Judges could be Spectres too though

You mean old Protec Skate Helmets?

The cheapest way is to attach rails to the existing handguard http://ant-supplies.co.uk/Pages/HandguardRails.aspx Buy two - one for underneath to take the foregrip and one for the top to take the torch. They'll need the deft use of a drill to make holes for the screws but it'll be the single cheapest way unless you can find a second hand Magpul style one (assuming you have the right kind of Delta Ring).

This thread interests me. I want a helmet because I usually just wear a baseball cap (backwards mostly to protect my neck) but keep getting hit in the D shaped hole where the adjuster is (I swear people aim for it!). Thing is I have a MASSIVE head and I sweat like a paedophile in Mothercare so....what's the airiest helmet that's still worth wearing?

The Mk1 was pretty. The Mk3 was just nasty 80's slab sided ick. Sorry. Also - why did we get the Capri when the Aussies got the Ford Falcon XB? Lucky gits.

How do you find having your contacts in with the fan running? They don't dry out too much?

Sorry, but as a 40 something that grew up with these rusty piles of crap - no, no they're not sexy cars. They may have been the most stolen car but only because everything else at the time was even shitter. Also - the most stolen car between 1986 and 1991 was actually the Vauxhall Belmont: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joyride_(crime)

Well that settles it then. I'm getting some 0.28s!

Been meaning to try 0.28's in mine, how is it?

Excellent choice

ASGK stands for Airsoft Gun Kai which is in fact a regulatory body for airsoft gun manufacturers in Japan. It is not the same people as ASG the manufacturer.

Absolutely, I'm sure it's down to how you treat it. As I'm equally sure a cheap gun well cared for will potentially outlast an expensive gun ridden hard and put away wet. All I'm saying is that there's nothing wrong with buying cheap stuff if your expectations are in line with what you have.

Just noticed that the classic army mp5k actually comes with a sef lower. Of course nobody's got it in stock!

I hear what your saying, but having spent many years playing guitars that both cost and weigh more than £300 hanging off straps that cost no more than a tenner and were undoubtedly made in the land of the rising yuan and never had an issue I'm not sure it's as big a problem as you're saying it is. Now granted, I am looking at a was sling once they get some in stock but my biggest chance of damaging my guns is when I (regularly) trip over my own feet!

Their YT channel also covers 2 and 1 point slings too.

ooo...hang on...there is one somewhere! Here it is!

This was what I was planning Are SEF lowers reasonably cross manufacturer compatible? Ditto the fire selector?

I've been looking at the ASG/B&T MP5K PDW as the possible answer to me need for a secondary to carry with my M249, the issue is that the ambidextrous selector fouls on my knuckle if you try and change to full retard auto. Is it a simple swap to change it for a non-ambidextrous lower or do I just need to dremel off the lever on the right hand side?

Don't let one bad experience put you off GBB pistols. 1911s are particularly renowned for not having a big enough reservoir for gas in the magazine due to their slim nature.

It's more likely to suffer stress fractures over time though I would guess. As you say though there is an amount of "my mate says" in all these things but all rumours start with a grain of truth.

I have one like cavninja and it's fine. How long it lasts is another question altogether. I am looking at buying the WAS one when they have stock though as the neck rub is annoying me.

Ibiza? Ponce. I jest of course, but how about you just don't go the week before you go on holiday?
