I mean, yes. But at the same time Ive run red dots on some lower-power lever-actions and such, so its feasible. Personally Id run a 1-4 lightweight LPVO - you still get the 1x if you want it, and LPVO glass and clarity is exponentially better than a magnifier. Magnifiers kinda suck, even in the real steel world - youre magnifying *everything* by 3x or whatever, which includes your reticle; Youve just turned your 2MOA reticle into a 6MOA, taking up a ton of space in your optic and now instead of aiming at a specific spot on a target, youre just aiming at the target as a whole. They also fisheye pretty badly, and are just overall not a great idea. They also tend to take up the same space and weight as a LPVO, and tossing a throw lever on a LPVO takes the same action as flipping a magnifier to the side, so you really get 0 positives to using a magnifier over a LPVO.

Cost is pretty similar, though a LPVO will add a few quid - looks like the Vortex Crossfire 2 1-4x can be had for 200, while a G43 and eotech are a combined 150 or so. Vortex does have that no questions asked returns policy as well; that alone makes them my preference in airsoft. There are cheaper red dot combos you can go for; G33s are cheaper for instance (but larger and heavier), but my vote would still be on a LPVO.

Have you tried talking to VFC themselves? Ive ordered parts for my 417s direct from them before and the shipping costs were negligible enough that I dont even remember them.

@Adolf HamsterThere is. VFC made it and its odd. But I am legally required to own one since I run German kits.

Danglers help a good bit tbh. Also, go with a soft armor carrier to fit form better. Though after a point youre always gonna end up at the "bulletproof bib" if youre just too big.

For instance. At the end of an 8-hour game at a MilSim recently, I was tired and forgot to suck in my gut for this pic. Not my best look haha:

On the flip side, heres the same thing a week or so earlier - but with a dangler pouch this time. Much better at hiding my curves lol - and Im even wearing the bulletproof bib in this one - a Crye JPC instead of the larger IDZ vest I have on in the first pic:

Took one right above the belt line in March. Broke skin, and has turned into a bruise-looking scar. Guy wasnt shooting hot either - sub 1J.

Yea the latest booster wiped my energy levels, but it did make my mom somewhat sick for a day. No reason it cant wait a day haha.

So far the 1903 seems better than the Lee - trigger mech, hop, and barrel being VSR compatible is a good thing. 

Yep, same. 

Afaik its more than just that. The shell I have printed fits the F1 just fine theoretically. I sent it off to the shop to have an engine installed in it, they say the F2 doesnt fit and want to know if I want to just buy a F1. Id much rather go with an F2 but dont know the sizing differences, and I dont really want to have them send the gun back to me for me to do that hopefully simple meausrement and then send it back to them.

I love my short mags. I use them in my mk23 carbine, my new PP-91 Kedr lookalike Mosquito, and as a triple set to make mags 8-10 for Sims. 

Out of curiosity, what are the other three?

Several factors honestly. Most people arent going to want to pay 130quid over retail even if it has an added scope. This is even more true if its a GBB. Then the market for GBBs is generally smaller than that of AEGs, so your crowd of potential buyers is smaller. Next, GBBs as DMRs tend to be less accurate than their AEG counterparts, so people looking to field it are going to be turned off by that. This is compounded by only having one mag - people are going to need to buy more if they want to field it (and the mags arent cheap - an extra 50 quid a pop adds up fast). Any gun once used generally drops in value by a third, so at best you should expect to get about 675 by following only that rule ((860+165)*2/3)(though that can vary wildly based on availability, desire, etc.). A collector is just going to buy new, as they will want a perfect condition version, and brand new that gun plus the scope would only cost about 1020 quid. Id set it at 800 open to offers, and see what comes along, expecting to get between 650 and 800 for it. Theres no major issue leaving your starting price that high, but most people are going to ignore it with that high of a price tag, even if its just a fill-in.

OK obligatory "I hope" haha. This is not an excuse to ask for several hundred quid or anything lol.

Ive spent far moe than youd want on my MPX build. Id be happy to cover whatever material/design costs youd need. 

I just so happen to have a spare v3 Polarstar Fusion Engine lying around... Ill happily pay shipping to get one stateside haha. 

Very interesting. Whats it going to be made out of? How does it run? What kind of mags does it take? Need any testers

Fun times. Im still baffled how it happened - I drop it around a corner, goes off, and Im hit as I pull back. enemy breaches my room, and after they clear onto the next I turn into their old room to pick it up and its gone. Spent 30 min wandering the area trying to find it. No dice. This was early Sat morning and by Sunday afternoon it had not been turned in. Ive got keyword flags up on the popular secondhand sale sites to keep an eye out for me, so we will see. 

Maybe, but I guarantee its found its way into someones collection. With almost 600 people at the Op theres always a handful that are scumbags. Granted, I had a VTG "stolen" two years ago and it actually did get returned to me, so Im still hopeful...

@Adolf HamsterYep, its true. Personally I just set all mine (I have like 6 now haha) on 4x and leave them. Most have MRDs on them if I need to go 1x.

Its OK, but the Vityaz is Ace. I refuse to own an AK, but I love my other Russian guns - though I like to be a bit odd with my choices. Went SR-3 instead of AK, Vityaz instead of Bizon, DP-28 instead of PKP, and I turned my VSR-X into a SV-98.

Personally found the eye relief to be crap. For the cost I just go for one of those Elcan replicas. 

I think everythings closed down for Stage 4 or whatever its called.

No, no I dont. What I want is something that will work well with my lever action and Colt SAA...

I keep at least one set by the table saw, one by my dremel station, one in my airsoft area, and one by the lathe/milling machines. A BB to the eye sucks. A metal shaving is worse...

Might be a touch difficult to get there since Im in the US haha. Touched you thought of me though lol
