[Iranian Embassy MP5]

My take on it too. 

 

@ButcherBill are you able to adapt or alter your mount/torch. 

just i would cut a gap between the mounting holes on the torch.

My L85 with the DD rail is an LCT A1, buy me an A2 & we can swop. ?

 

Lct sa80?.... 

There's ares/star, g&g, ics and AA. 

Never seen a lct one. 

And g&g & AA are only ones to make an a1 type, as far as I'm aware. 

[Gun picture thread]

Yeah too much for me. As will never get used. Hence looking second hand or preferably a boneyard. But externally complete. 

[Gun picture thread]

Cheers bud.

 

Oh do tell... haha. 

 

There's a few I don't have. But I'm not going too modern either. My cut off is 2020... yes I have a sa80 A3.... but was more just to aid with the family tree. 

 

Desperate for a boneyard G&G A1. But will have to wait now. 

Plus if money was no object haha, then a vfc m249 and a king arms m79 blooper would be nice.

@ButcherBill

No where near your legendary numbers, hahaha. 

But all my brit kit together. 

Getting it ready to take and display at NAF. 

 

[Gun picture thread]

So... 

Managed to get hold of a replica susat shield mount and RS sight

These were seen in use on UKSF sa80s and sa80 ULG's. 

L22's were also seen in use by UKSF. 

 

So decided to fiddle about. 

Added the correct sa80 surefire and the rmr mount. Weathered it all a bit.

So sticking within the bounds of an accurate brit kit weapon, have made a nice naughty little cqb...

A friend bought one up to show off, it was a recent purchase. He said that it might have been a pre production sample that was partially modernised for testing and then deactivated once it served its purpose, but that's third hand info at this point that I haven't been able to verify. They are very rare and he wouldn't give me an exact number on how much it cost, but it was well north of 5k

 

The SUSAT is also genuine of course and in very very good condition

It looks like the markings have "DP" meaning it was a drill purpose weapon nefore it was deactivated. So at the time would be missing the firing pin, but would still go through all the motions when training. So would cock, chamber rounds etc. 

Would have had a white line sprayed around the handguard with DP marked in black on it. 

Obviously removed all that when sent for deactivation.

Don't fancy my chances with this one.... looks well warn out already. Hahaha

 

On the ops question. It would be great to keep the forums going. Easy to navigate, find the right sections etc etc. 

I actually prefer them. 

But unfortunately, newer generations just want to post and move on Like with other platforms. 

Plus I've actually found that some people don't like forums, because you can't delete/hide negative comments. 

 

So on fb, if you make a post. You have control over who can comment etc. And still come out smelling of roses. 

 

Here, they have to face the honest truth, and can't hide from it!... 

Plus they can't be arsed to do the research themselves, where they can just keep asking the same 5 questions over and over hahaha. 

 

But I'm game to keep the forum as much as possible. 

 

I'd be interested to know how much it costs to run a forum. I'm not tech minded, so is a genuine interest here? 

[Gun picture thread]

L2A1, still a wip. 

[British Forces weapons]

Another small update. 

 

2 more rifles and an adapted acog. 

 

First, is the L2A1 SACTARASS (semi-automatic counter terrorist assault rifle and sniper system). (HK 417)

This has been seen used with uksf for many years now. 

With 3 different variants. 12", 16" & 20" versions. 

Mine is a vfc 12" version with a surefire suppressor and acog. 

It's current set up as seen in a few reference pics that have been floating about. 

 

The acog has also had to be adapted. So the uksf were known for sticking with the TA01, but with the RMR. Meaning it has an off set front sight and larue mount. 

For airsoft, they never done this. Meaning I've had to pretty much butcher 2 acogs to make one. A box standard TA01, then a TA31 rco for the RMR and off set front sight blade. 

 

Second weapon is the L80A1 (MP5K)

This has been In Service for decades.

So nothing special to really report here. 

 

There was another version of the MP5K, that had its sights removed!... 

This was known as the L90A1. 

[Andy Stevens has passed.]

Just to let you guys know. 

Andy Stevens, who owns UCAP finally succumbed to his illness, and sadly passed today. 

 

R.I.P Andy.

Oh man... I'd be all over that bren (price depending) and me being me would have to pay with it, and convert to a L4...

Inokatsu, they're about $1000, so the same price as the actual firearm.

Is it the steel slide or aluminium slide variant? 

Either way, good find. Very rare these days.

That 417 is pretty. I'd usually say I prefer the larger 6X ACOG like our aussie pals use on their 417s, But that looks very nice.

I hear the VFC 417 has a pretty good kick to it too.

Cheers bud.

Yeah, not sure why we didn't, specially as we had the 6x acog in use/stores. 

As for vfc kick. I wouldn't know, as this is the aeg version, not gbb. 

[Gun picture thread]

Latest acquisitions... 

 

L2A1 sactarass  (VFC HK 417)

 

L90A1 (well gbb mp5k)

 

Replica TA01, the n robbed thefront sight blade and rmr of a TA31 acog l, to match the correct acogs used by uksf. 

[Zeroin back up.]

So it appears zeroin forum is back up. 

 

But it's a complete restart. So all the old chats/threads are gone. Had to create a new account again etc. 

 

Lets see how long this lasts... 

[Gun picture thread]

Always liked the scar, specially the H version like yours. 

Trouble is I'd make mine heavy as.. 

As would add the ugl too hahaha. 

 

Looks good bud.

Finally, I have all three.

ICS L86A2 LSW
G&G L22A2(?) AFV ETU w/ SUSAT
G&G L85A2 ETU w/ ACOG+RMR

 

Those are rookie numbers.... 

Still got room for a few more.... 

 

Like so..... (all my brit weapons)

[British Forces weapons]

Update.... 

 

So, these next two have been on my search list for a very long time. 

 

So, first up 

L131A1.... (Glock 17 gen 4)

So this pistol eventually replaced the ageing L9 browning, with the gen 3 being in service with the sas before that!. 

 

Mine, is the very early fully traded and hard to find Stark Arms/VFC gen 4 glock. 

What makes this stand out over other brand glocks, is the markings!. So the later umarex/vfc , tm/guarder and GHK glocks, all come with the U.S glock markings. 

The Stark Arms comes with the correct European markings and German proof marks as found on the real L131A1. 

The only other brand close to this is the early WE fully traded glocks. Only issue with the WE glocks are, that the lower and upper look and marked a gen 4. But the recoil spring is still the slim Gen 3 type. 

 

I have also fitted real sights and lanyard adaptor, along with a replica QR code as also seen ok British glocks. 

Only thing left to do on mine is get the L131 and NSN details engraved on the lower. 

 

Top 2 pics are from the real L131

Last pic is mine. 

 

 

 

2nd one is 

L104A1 (HK69)

This was brought in for use in Northern Ireland to fire smoke and baton rounds. 

Then was later used in Iraq. 

And believe it still in use at the moment, as one pic was posted of it in use last year with a red dot as a rear sight. 

 

Mine is the hard to find original CAW HK69

When I got this, was sprayed all green. Took it back to normal, then weathered it. 

Also fitted real sights. 

In the process of getting some parts 3d printed to get it running again. 

Then looking at getting correct markings added. 

 

Top pic is of it in use. 

Bottom is mine. 

 

 

[2X Gen 4 glock 17]

Top is VFC 

Bottom is the early fully traded WE

 

Both have no mags, and have both sat for 2 years. 

Fps unknown. 

[Another big name gone]

Yeah it is a shame. I've seen lots of forums gonover the years. Some were still a hive of activity. 

UKAZ & zeroin were the other places to be. 

But UKAZ disappeared no warning. And zeroin how knows... 

Other than this forum, only leaves a few small ones. And the big American forum went last year too. 

 

For me it's a shame. As I always find the forums far easier to navigate and find threads. Without having to scroll past hundreds of posts. 

 

When fb started banning groups, I was really shocked that the forums didn't take off again. 

[Gun picture thread]

So managed to obtain an old CAW HK69. 

Was all painted and original sights were floppy. So added real front and rear sight. 

Removed to paint and weathered the metal. 

 

[LCT LC3 (G3A4)]

Thank you bud. 

Seems my rough price is near the money.. no pun intended haha. 

 

Will try and dig out a mount for it if I can find it. 

[LCT LC3 (G3A4)]

Looking for a rough idea on price for a lct G3A4

This is the non blowback version. 

This is completely stock internal, with a few marks external where sight mounts etc had been present. 

 

The fps is 400. So either needs down grading or locking to semi for DMR role. 

This is because ordered from abroad, and has come "as is" from Asia. 

 

Comes with 1 mag. 

But does not have the original box. 

 

Now these were around £450/500 new. 

So would 300/280 be the ball park? 

 

Cheers.
