I bet. And yes, thats what I meant. One small issue there -I live in the US haha.

Gotta love that HTI. If someone offered pre-built Silverbacks or HTIs Id own one...

I might have a chance to shoot a real one this weekend, Ill let you know if thats true haha.

If only my VSR-X wasnt so darn chonkers, Id already have Enfield, Kar, and Mosin stocks for it. Unfortunately I just cant see either a G&G or S&T version really being competitive... Sure, if you want to look the part they will probably be Ace, but I also like to be able to tickle people at 120m...

Oh yea, looks like it came right out of a WWII picture book. Well done.

Me and one of the guys who sometimes comes to mooch off my surplus guns and gear *sputters* I mean one of my friends and me yesterday. First time out wearing the Flecktarn loadout - it was hot as can be (heat index around 37*C) but the gear was comparatively lightweight and quite comfortable. Uniform is Roman Flecktarn G3 pants and short-sleeve Combat Shirt, Crye Airflex Impacts, Linderhof PC, surplus German 3x2 mag pouch (may change this to a HSGI triple taco) and dangler, 2x Emerson flashbang pouches for my TRMRs, Maxpedition folding dump pouch, Valken Tactical tank pouch, black Oakley Pilots, an Qore Iceplate, Emerson neck gaiter, Pektor Comtac III dual comm headset (was only using it to listen to music through the left ear haha), MTEK Flux helmet painted myself in Flecktarn, and Oakley M-Frames with the helo kit. Guns were my King Arms 9mm SBR with PTS muzzle break, blue-laser PEQ, Magpul AFG2, Sig Romeo 5, and Safariland Single point Sling mount, and my custom TM G26 in a Safariland ALS on a paddle.

Can't comment on the Lee cause its not out yet, obviously, but the Tommy will be the easiest choice. AFAIK the Stens use the same internals as the MP40s and are either a pain to work on, hard to find parts for, etc.

Working on the DP-28 mag adapter. Its not quite there but all my CADing has been accurate - hoping to have it done for this weekend... Now who wants a pan mag on an AR57

Thats actually the (visually) finished product. Nope. Though I am honestly happy you two can't tell. Its a DP-28 Im making using a Echo1 ZB-30 body, a real DP-28 mag, and 3D printing a three-piece adapter to make it all work together.

WIP.

Ive always wanted to do a WWII build, but get put off for various reasons. Im slowly making progress though. When I lived in the UK I did have a "Downed aircrew" setup that included a RAF bomber jacket, Colt Peacemaker revolver (before the US got involved in the war a lot of these were shipped over to the UK), and a stolen MP-40 (as in from a German. Not, you know...). That was years ago though, back before I could do anything as simple as replace a bucking. Ive done several Soviet early Cold War loadouts, so I am working my way to WWII. I like the idea of going with a boltie over just being another MP-40/Sten/Thompson; since Ive got a VSR-X it can certainly preform. The main issue with it is its size - its got a much wider barrel than any of the mainstream WWII bolties. I am not locked down to any one faction, but I do have the US/British handguns already - that same Peacekeeper (I just pulled it out after not touching it for 4 years and it still works fine), and an old Western Arms SV Infinity 1911 that I fitted with some real Colt 1911 grips. Its not perfect, but close enough. Ive also got several pages of gear bookmarked that I just havent pulled the trigger on... Maybe once Covid winds down a bit and work money starts flowing again... Then again, I am making good headway into my DP-28 build. Russian LMG gunner anyone?

Hey, its the necro-man. Posted some range time today - I was testing out my new GoPro Max, and figured if I cant play airsoft, lets try it on something a bit louder and more expensive. I also posted my Microgun Hill video - a vid I didnt plan to post due to my helmet mount coming loose and causing that pinging sound. But people wanted it, so its up. Ive also posted some pre-Covid footage from my US indoor site. Not a huge fan of it, but then again Im spoiled due to The Mall.

If youre truly going ground-up, make the cylinder v2 spec. I know several people who would love to HPA one of these, but to do so the cylinder and piston area needs to be v2 spec. Also, though im sure its due to simply being a rough mock-up, but add rails (probably top rail, with optional Mloc or Keymod so people who like attachments can add them) and a threaded barrel. If possible, use existing magazines (Umarex UMP or Echo 1 MP5 straight mags would work well). Stock options would be nice as well - either a MP7-style collapsible stock or a simpler MPX-style that attaches to a rail would be easy to configure, and could easily be run with or without a stock. Im curious to see how youre going to implement the trigger - theres not really any room for a trigger board or contacts with the mag and barrel right there. If you get seriously into the build, make a post about it - Im sure there are plenty of people on here smarter than me who could help you out.

Hey, everyone knows that custom paracord wrapping is valued around at least $135 an hour

Yea theres a lot of that. Im currently building mine into an MG36, but even then I still slightly cringe whenever I take it out. Then again, the second I pull the trigger people know its not a cheap gun (Got a Daytona engine in it). However after seeing @GothicGhost's I might have t send mine off to be cerakoted like my 417a2...

If you play at CQB sites (especially in the UK) most know how to chrono a tri-shot. Maybe call or message them or something and just confirm its fine before hand so you dont turn up can not be able to play.

Ah makes more sense. And the short answer is... You dont... I just run mine on 80 PSI (yes, I converted it to a drum and HPA. Got tired of shells) with a tracer. I can slam fire the thing fast enough and people usually call it haha.

Wait... They make it in tan?!? Well that sucks...

The pistol appears to be a CYMA CM123. AEP 1911 and all that. Uses CYMA CM030/G18C AEP mags. The AK is more difficult, as we have no idea what you've modified/added in terms of externals. That being said, it looks like it could be the CM076E, but the mags are different, it has a different stock, and different flash hider. However that is most likely it.

Yea its basically precut square foam sticks. You just pluck out the ones you want and it shapes decently. Look at my posts on the previous page about my HK417A2/G28 project - thats a pluck foam case.

The old girl got a face-lift In all honesty I've been wanting to do a KWA Vector build for forever. I've lurked on the FB page for some time now, and had an idea of what I wanted to do, but I knew one thing was needed for sure before I invested time and money into the project - an HPA drum. Ive tried the GBB primary route and despised it for a single reason - the mags. Thats why Ive converted so many of my GBBs to Daytonas - WE Masada, VFC M27, etc. Especially here in the States, where its all about highcaps and volume of fire (I do miss UK airsoft; running around The Mall with my TM GBB MP7 or dual pistols...). While I dont need 1000 shots to get a hit, 40ish shots was a bit too little, especially when you go to reload and find your mag has leaked all the gas out. So a drum is a must. As such, my Vector has sat, and sat. Then, I got an offer. It was a bit steep IMO but I took it, and then I was the proud owner of a broken Reaper Airsoft Customs drum mag for the Vector. Let the build begin! The repair ended up being easy - a lot of epoxy and drying time and it was good to go. I didnt want to use a cheap China clone for a sight like I have on some of my builds - Ive had Daytonas throw off their zeros before. So I used a spare Vortex Sparq AR red dot I had. Magpul MOE irons and AFG2 mod to match my real Vector, Ace1Arms right hand mag release (so much easier when using the drum), replica Surefire M600DF light and my signature blue-lasered PEQ hooked up to a dual pressure switch. I also had to add a 45* rail for the torch so that I could still fold the stock. I have a Defiance .45 ACP suppressor but I am unsure if I will use it due to not needing an increased inner barrel due to FPS gains... Cover the remaining rails with ladder covers and add a sling swivel stock pin and the build is (externally) done. Still need to decide on what to do inside though... Yes @rocketdogbert I will use the FB page for that.

I personally hate cutting foam cases; having moved entirely to pluck foam myself. But you can't deny that when done properly, it looks so much better haha.

I wonder if a genuine Kriss brace/tube setup would fit... Might have to test that out next month...

See, I kinda want to do this, as my RS vector has a brace. Just to make the two even more similar...
