It just needs sling mounts and some parts haven't been blued yet. It should be finished in about a week. I have a WW2 game on 28th Feb so I should have it for that.

it's a really impressive build, but i just can't call it cool / the gun is 'kin hideous!

Some guns, like the SMLE are just good looking. Guns like the Owen are a bit more untilitarian. It just looks wrong to have a top loading mag, but it means that it feeds well, it can be reloaded easily when prone and doesn't catch on vegetation as the Sten would. It's quite a bit larger than a Sten, this is because the main tube has a bulkhead between the bolt and the cocking handle. Dirt can get into a gun via the cocking handle slot but on the Owen, this doesn't matter as th...

Great stuff! What's the base gun if there is one?

ASG sten hop up and gearbox.

Pics? AIRBORNE!

paint is drying atm. Hopefully my denison smock will arrive Monday or Tues, might do pics then. Geez ppl are impatient

I think the Zero In community will find these greatly useful

Definitely play the sick card!

try to go in there all co-operative so to speak but if it starts getting sh*tty then turn it around about the pressures recent put upon you in the role have meant difficulty sleeping due to stress etc......

That should make them ease up and back pedal

first and foremost they have to prove you was asleep, you could have just blinked your eyes ;-) 2nd go to see your GP, your suffering with stress caused by being suspended etc

Makes sense to do so, far better batteries

Good to hear she's working much better now I've looked for Lee Enfield scope mounts but they're all $40-$80-ish and I don't think you could get them so easily in the UK. Most of them look too modern as well.

Couple threads that could be useful:

Google 'Cad-Technik no drill mount'

Seen those already. They're on about the Lee Enfield No. 4, I have the No.1 mk3. There is a hopeful looking groove and screw on the left hand side. I do wonder if I could get some metal bar the right size and screw it into the groove, then bolt the bar to an M14 type mount with some countersunk machine screws. Basically making something like http://www.midwayusa.com/product/141392/b-square-1-piece-interlock-receiver-mount-with-1-rings-smle-mk-3-2a-308-cal-matte . The correct mount i...

Pictures!

The bolt is so easy to use. If I can get sniper fps and get the mad minute drill down....

I can't see how I would mount a scope without a £200 actual SMLE scope mount.

Nice, I think they are lovely rifles but it really needs a loadout like you have to look right IMO.

Just took apart the bolt assembly. lots of small parts to lose! The striker seemed a bit rough around the edges so I gave it a light polish. I will need a small washer I don't have to improve the spring tension. Putting everything back together, Matilda is already noticeably crisper when shooting.

The firing pin tension system is brilliant, I've had a fiddle with it on my KJW and it's noticeably different. Need to try it with a chrono though

jus sick in my mouth a little bit

omg, battery charged and the ROF is insane, quite powerful too.

jelly

erm if its the way forward, why was it made in 1943 and my 1 point slings were made in 70 years later?

Cheaper than anything else new, got yourself a good deal there

theres actually loads of em on ebay.

I cry for you

When Matilda works, she is very accurate. Not really a sniper as so far the power has been too low, but perfect as a DMR. Unfortunately, like all really sexy looking women, she appears to be rather high maintenance

feels good when she is in ya arms though....

love is blind as they say - you could been when that mag went off

I'm sure you can work it out - lots of couples have their problems

Not anymore http://www.shootandscoot.co.uk/shop/bren-mkii/

NOOOO!!!!!!!!

I cry.

My cdt sqn has a decommissioned Bren. It is impressive.

Ha i said same last year when i was 30!! i was only 23 the other day singe shagging loads of women having amazing time!! Now im married mortgage and child!! Life goes too quick!!

Have a good one Russe

Happy Birthday Russell!

Wow, it's looking really good, how long has it been in the making?

I asked on here and ww2airsoft.org.uk whether someone could make it, at the beginning of October, I got a reply from Dadio on ww2airsoft after a couple of days but it took a month to get the Sten on which it's based. You can follow it all here: http://www.ww2airsoft.org.uk/php/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?f=13&t=18577

Oh wow, that really is amazing. Definitely one of a kind there!

One day ill do a ww2 re-enactment....

Could you take some pics while your there?

Whoops wrong one....

I'd say go for it mate. Always another type of game to go to. You can get some of the stuff pretty cheap too. Would also be an excuse for more guns later on!

Might get pictures on Sunday, I'm going to meet up with some re-enactors at Lacock at War. Annoyingly you can only buy stripes in pairs and the Aussies only wore them on the right arm.

Get another Aussie re-enactor to go halves with you ?

Yeah cos theres sooo many of them

Must have been like a kid at christmas going out on his new shiney bike. Always nice when ya enemies wanna see that gun ya took them out with

I kinda got that at The Mall last week. Brought three guns; my Raider GBB as my primary, my ACM P90 and my backup, and my new ACM MP40 to chrono. Turns out, it was too cold for my Raider, and my P90 had a grease buildup that caused it to have an 80fps jump. So I ended up using an MP40 at a modern game. Got a few people asking me about it. Shame about jingles, but at least you had fun

Or I could retain my dignity and buy it next week?

Just wait a week

yea.... just that you so need it this week thou!

Blanco is used to colour the webbing. In this case I now have 2 sets, the new one came blanco'd green so I scrubbed the blanco out of my original set and then blanco'd it Khaki.
