Been working on this. FR Ordnance MC-51SD as made for the SAS/SBS Quite a bit needs altering to fit the mp5sd front to the G3 body. But only obvious mod externally is the charging slot was made longer to accommodate the G3 charging handle. But as no real pics available, it's hard to determine where the cocking lever actually stops on the SD variant. So stopped it just before sling point. Even though normal MC51 had the charging handle stop over the front sight.

As you say, I have had and sold alot of guns in my time. Now I can only speak for a few. I know a few are still running, and a few have died and been split. The the one I'm most proud of, was last year at NAF. Saw a TM famas, chatted to the guy, turns out it was my old one. Now I bought this famas new around 1997-98. And it's still going!!!! Damn things are indestructible. The one that broke my heart, was my TM M14 EBR. This had the full G&P EBR kit, correct king arms Silencer, G&P knights mounts. Real harris bipod. All G&P mid cap mags with 7.62 magpuls. The works. A year later, saw it for sale on an old forum that disappeared years ago (UKAZ, if any one remembers that one). Turns out he didn't like the ebr kit, found it too heavy. So stripped and sold it all, and turned it back to the basic M14 socom. Wasn't long after, that was then being sold for spares as had cracked the body and some how blown the gearbox. But didn't want to repair it. And that's one of about 5 guns I ever regretted selling.

Could be a newbie. Bought it, didn't enjoy the sport, trying to get rid.

I thought it was from ww2, as the .50 ammo belts in the wings would measure 9 yards? I've heard so many variations of where it may come from.

On the higher gas seems OK. Winter it does drop a little. But othe than hpa, not found a gbb pistol that doesn't drop slightly in winter. I did run on propane for a short while. But then you have to maintain the gun a bit more to stop it damaging the O rings. I've got a prime kit on another p226. Never had any issues to date. But the guarder body certainly looks sturdier. Which is weird as both ali and are similar size. May just be the paint coating playing tricks on the eyes.

I know it cost a bit to achieve. But if your looking for something that not only looks and feels stunning. But will also stand the test of time. Then may I suggest a TM P226 with full guarder kit! I ve got exactly that with the upgrades springs, hop up and blow back unit. Bought and put together by firesupport back in 2011. And never had an issue. And used it at weekend at NAF.

Thanks bud. Means alot. Yeah sure.

Seriously it is.... I was at NAF this weekend, and had them all set up. Didn't realise I had so much.

And another for the brit kit. An LCT HK53, set up as the L101A1/2 RM Close protection variant. Can't afford a real trijicon RX06, so this AIMO reflex will have to do. Note to self.... this collection is getting out of hand now... 🤣

Just to clarify, I don't have an issue with emailing, providing there's been a bit of chat or atleast some clarification sort of thing. Not in the very first message get a basic "I have this, email me @....... " Nothing about the items condition or any info for that matter, like you've got to go fishing for it all.

That's my thoughts, But was more it seems to becoming a regular occurance. So wasn't sure if a new thing to do or not. But will stick to my gut instinct and stick to the chat on here. Just been watchful as nearly scammed twice this year and twice before Xmas. The one before xmas was so comical. Was a user called "adams34". Who was trying to sell me something, and claiming it was his. Till I pointed out it was already sold else where. 🤣 Cheers bud.

Alright guys. So, I've been on these forums for a long long time. Yet comms have always been "normal" and convo and pics sent on the forum chat/message. But as of late, I'm Getting messages asking to go straight to email and chat there. And it's not just one or two. Which I just find a bit weird tbh. Now the old stickler in me, I just reject these messages, as can't see why you can't just chat send pics on the chat here. But I don't want to seem rude if they're genuine. Anyone else had this? And are they genuine?

I'm not normally an ak fan, but I can dig that.

Thanks for offer bud, but still wouldn't be the right one. The issued one is exclusive to the SA80 only as far as I'm Aware It's not a qd sling point, and is static in one position. I've purchased a multi position qd one for now, so It doesn't swivel. I may have to resort to making one. Here's the genuine one....

Right, hopefully it's there now. A few minor tweaks to sort. Cable and ptt for LLM 3d printed and put together. Found the correct LLM ptt rail holder. Unit colour added to LDS. QR codes also added. Still on the look out for the correct sling loop. But I know this is only exclusive to the sa80, so maybe waiting a while. Now to finish my Borneo SAS m16 (colt model 602) with early triangle type charging handle and grooved bolt catch.

So it's getting there. Just need to find a way to replicate the correct paint type. And alter the bolt.

I would suggest either a sideboard, or office type cupboards to sit underneath the small shelf. So can have rigs/kit in one cupboard. Spares/parts and accessories in another. So all sorted and you know where it all is. I've literally juts bought some free standing grid wall for my British airsoft collection.

So 2 more additions to the British collection. And thanks to Ed for this the pistol. WE Browning MK3 L9A1 DS And also a L119A1 CQB finally put together, painted and weathered.

I live in Basingstoke and bloody missed it!. I did try going Saturday afternoon. Saw the crowds and thought "sod this". I've been to other comic ons and crowds aren't usually an issue. But there just seemed no control or order to it. Shame as stargate is my favourite sci-fi and would have relished a chance to meet them. Specially in my back yard!... Once in a lifetime time opportunity wasted coz I couldn't face the crowd. Lesson learnt really.

That was the Model 715/C7 that was also issued. Had a M16A2 export lower, but with an A1 upper and A2 brass deflector. The upper type is called the M16A1E1. Here's a pic of my C7 showing that upper. But was also on the 715 issued in GW1 and the model 723/725 carbine also issued.

What makes it different is the markings. In the real world, the 701 was a Full auto export rifle, with export colt markings. Compared to the USGI issued 705. Which had U.S government markings and burst fire. So all those airsoft auto A2 lowers, but U.S markings are all wrong. Now with mine. Up till recently, no one made the correct export marked lower till angry gun released their gbb 733 body. So, a few years ago I had to have my lower engraved to replicate what was issued to UK troops.

Another 1 for the British Forces Collection. A colt model 603. Pictured here in use during SAS jungle training. Also made a second upper for my Colt 715. Making it a colt model 701. (Export M16A2, with full auto function, not 3rd burst like usgi A2s). Pictured here during OP BARRAS.
