Ah right, my mates one is the fibre re-enforced nylon one. Honestly by the time you've spent the money on a metal receiver and gone through the joy of fitting it you'd have been better served getting a GC 16 Raider or similar. Not much more money and almost all metal. Still, enjoy the gun. They're nice.

Nice, one of my mates has that. Sweet shooting gun for the money! The torch is a bit useless though.

[pedant mode] All M4s are carbines [/pedant mode] M4s are the carbine version of the M16 due to the shortened barrel. It could have a solid stock on it and still be a carbine. But yes, it looks tiny. It's an optical illusion caused by being transparent. If it was black it would look bigger because the brain assumes black means solid and thereby bigger.

Tremonti is awesome. Love his solo album. I've been giving some pretty heavy rotation to the new Carcass album Surgical Steel. Probably a bit heavy for most people....

It's big enough.... Which reminds me, where did I leave my chainsaw.....

Just got my new kit bag - Protec M41 holdall like this 'un: http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B004QMO7KC/ref=oh_details_o01_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Sufficiently cavernous to get all my gear in but with plenty of side pockets to keep the small stuff safe. That should keep the wife happy!

Cool, thanks for that. The illuminated mag I have is dimmer than a silencer type (still enough to see where the rounds go in the dark mind) but you're limited to how many rounds you can get in it (it's a mid cap so around 120). When it gets to the really dark stuff it's a bit limiting.

Let us know how the Madbull works? Thinking of one for myself (curtrently use a G&P illuminated mag).

SHIELD. Nice.

As a movie of Dredd, the Stallone one was poor. As an SF action movie I thought it was pretty good. The ABC robot was really cool and the whole thing would have made more sense if they hadn't cut some of the scenes they did. The new one is much more "proper" Dredd in my opinion though. Regardless I encourage everyone to join the FB group and sign the petition to get a sequel made! https://www.facebook.com/MakeADreddSequel

You can get most of the early stories in collected editions these days. Amazon sell the Dredd Casefiles which is all the storylines from Prog1 on!

Fantastic work there fella! Have a look at the Dredd Costuming Group on the Replica Prop Forum if you want to see some screen accurate stuff although you appear to already have exactly the right trousers! Oh and Ian, there's a stack of good old "analogue" 2000ads in my loft. goes back to about issue 100 (my mum made throw 1-100 away when I was a kid. Grrrr.) Nice to know I'm not the only old school geek!

If budget is unlimited and you're happy to be paying nasally for the brand then I'd say yes, go for a Vaio. Or a Dell XPS (and put up with the horrible customer service when it inevitably goes wrong). If budget and performance are your driving factors then Scan and Novatech would be my recommendations. The Novatech i7 based ones around £700 are pretty damn good and I've always had good service from them (we used them for work machines for a while).

Have you tried the Sniper Hunt trick? With C4? Awesome fun!

The Viper tactical sling (the 3 point convertible one that is) comes with a sling point/strap thingy like that. It's how I attach mine to my M4.

The Magpul fairy has just left a deposit on my desk

Yeah but they ACTUALLY have no life.
