Make: VFC Gun/Model: M249 Accessories: Leak free stanag magazine Condition: As new FPS: Gas and temperature dependent Splits/Swaps/Part Exchange: Will consider a swap for a VFC M110K1 GBB Price/Payment: £730 posted and PayPalled Pictures: Attached Bought brand new and arrived around a week ago. I was really looking forward to getting this, but was a little concerned regarding the lightweight. When it arrived I was actually disappointed as it is unrealistically light. It looks great and it is very satisfying to have that recoil, but I can’t get over how light it feels and I think I’d probably prefer to have a heavier A&K or Classic Army. I bought this to add to my collection and not use in game, but I can see how this will be very usable in game due to its lightweight. I’ve ordered the retractable stock, front rail and foregrip, but these haven’t been sent yet. The rail is out of stock. I’m trying to cancel those items, but if they are still posted I can add these to the sale for an extra £130 posted when they arrive.£730

Is there a difference between the VFC 417 V1 and V2 gas blocks? I’ve damaged the original outer barrel on my V2 and so I decided to replace it with a Z-Parts steel outer barrel, but the gas block doesn’t fit. It seems that the gas block narrows towards the front and so it slides on, then jams. Is this the same with the V1 gas block? Am I better off sacking the idea of the steel barrel and get another original barrel? Has anyone any experience with fitting a Z-Parts steel barrel too a V2 417?

Special Forces Replica - What is and what is not realistic?
Super64 replied to LzChase's topic in General Discussion
The only one I’ve seen is this one https://www.davescustomairsoft.co.uk/airsoft-weapons/assault-rifles-aeg/DCA-KAC-KS1 But it’s a hell of a lot of money, by their own admission it isn’t going to be an exact copy and doesn’t come with optics. Although it does come with the suppressor. -

Suppose it makes sense. If the MOD are spending money on giving the Rangers and Marines Gucci kit, it stands to reason the tier 1 assets will already have it. Most of my focus has been on U.S. special operations kit recently with the builds I’ve been doing. There’s not as much info about UKSF. What decent resources are there for current UKSF kit? -

No mate, not aimed at you specifically, just an observation from over the years. As I said, I’m a firearms enthusiast who has a particular interest in the GWOT and SF weapons and kit in general. I often find people chipping in to discussions, both on forums and in person, trying to make out that either me or others are in some way trying to pass ourselves off as special forces operators, when that’s nowhere near the case. I just have an appreciation for what they do and the kit they use. Sorry if I came across as having a pop, that wasn’t the intent. Time to draw a line under this aspect of the conversation and allow the thread to get back on track😉 -

For me, it’s not about playing with the best gun or best kit. Actually, it’s the opposite. I have no intention of taking any of my builds to an airsoft field. I just use a bog standard AEG and some relatively inexpensive Multicam. As @JimFromHorshamsaid, for me, it’s all about the build. Buying the parts to make a build I have in mind, mostly based on real world military firearms. As a firearms enthusiast, this is the closest I’ll get to owning anything like the real steel. If I lived in the U.S. I’m sure my builds would be real firearms, but as I don’t, airsoft replicas is the best I can get. There’s a huge cloning scene in the real firearms world, and that obviously stretches over to the airsoft world as well. No one likes the guy that turns up in £1000’s worth of kit, running around like a full on operator thinking they’re better than everyone else, but in the same vain, no one likes the guy that try’s to put people down for spending money on their hobby. Each to their own. It’s all about having as much fun as possible in the limited time we have available. The fact is, most people who aren’t in to firearms or airsoft think we’re all weird anyway, possibly even dangerous. So, for me, if a guy comes on here or any other forum asking for advice about a build, they should be able to get the advice they want or need, without someone coming on and making it awkward. If you’re not interested in the subject, move on. -

I know they’re using the MCX, and the Knights Armament KS-1 is rumoured to be a replacement for the L119A2, but are they in service yet? Or is there something else I’ve missed? The Rangers and Marines are getting the KS-1 so it would make sense for the SAS and SBS to have it as well. -

A longer barrel with a suppressor is doable. My Clay Spenser 416 (the top one in the picture) was more difficult to manoeuvre then the 10’5 below it, but once you get used to the length, it’s fine. The U.S. Marine Corps M27 is around a 16 inch barrel and they mostly run them suppressed. It’s all about practice, but a suppressed 10.5 is much easier. If you already have a 14.5 then it’s probably better to get used to manoeuvring that around than forking out for a new gun. But, it’s always nice to buy new things. -

If you’re looking at Delta or Devgru HK416s, then 14.5 with an SMR rail wouldn’t be totally wrong, but the 10.5 with a suppressor would be more common. There are a bunch of resources you can use to help with your build. Loads of videos on YouTube, GarandThumb, T-Rex Arms and Larry Vickers all have 416 videos, just to name a few. AR15.com is a good forum with sections on Delta and Devgru weapons. Also, the SEAL Team TV show is a good resource. A lot of the production team and actors are ex U.S. military including Delta and Devgru and they take kit authenticity really seriously. So a lot of the kit and weapons used by Bravo Team are as authentic as they can be. Although operators have a lot of freedom to pick their own kit, within reason, both Delta and Devgru have a lot of commonality when it comes to the kit they use. The attached photo is 2 of my builds based off SEAL Team, if it helps. -

As has been mentioned above, you need to be a bit more specific about what SF unit you’re looking to replicate, which role and from which country. UKSF, both SAS and SBS us the same weapon, L119A2, usually with an Acog and mounted red dot. U.S, it depends on which unit. Both Delta and Devgru used HK416 with the SMR rail, but Devgru seem to be moving to the Noveske N4. U.S. Army Special Forces (Green Berets) us the M4 with the Geissele URG-I upper. Rangers and none JSOC SEALs I think are still using Daniel Defence uppers on their M4’s. All interspersed with a bunch of MK18’s. Many U.S. special operations units are moving towards low powered variable optics with an offset red dot. Each country has their own SF with their own specific weapons and load outs. Even within units there are specific roles that will require specific weapons and load outs. Google, as always, is a good starting point. I’m sure if you say which particular unit you’re interested in there’ll be a wealth of knowledge available here. -
Got notification that mine is on the way. Probably early next week for it to arrive. Can’t wait 🥳
-
Excellent. I’ve got a few TM’s so the fact it’s compatible with what I have is great. Guess that’s going to be my next purchase then 😉
-
It looks really nice and so that’s a positive. What’s it feel like? Is there any wobble or creaking? Does the build quality feel robust enough or do the materials feel cheap? If it was a Tokyo Marui I’d buy it without hesitation, although it would be a lot more expensive. But, I’ve no experience with Double Eagle other than knowing they’re a cheaper, Chinese brand. With this being up around the Tokyo Marui price bracket, it would be nice to know it’s worth getting before spending the cash.
-
High Pressure Airsoft was where I was potentially going to buy from as they have the tan version in stock. Unfortunately, they are more expensive than JD.
-
Has anyone taken the plunge and bought one of the DE versions? I’m seriously considering getting one, but I’d like to know what the quality is like compared to the Tokyo Marui MWS? More interested in build quality, particularly externally, and overall feel of the gun.
-
Excellent. All preorders at the moment, but still good to to know prices for budgeting.
-
Sixmm apparently have the collapsible stock available for around £75 plus postage. I haven’t seen the Para stock available yet though.
-
I did the same and put a preorder in with Dave’s on my credit card. It will be more expensive than waiting for it to become more widely available in the U.K, but I’m too impatient to wait. I keep checking WGC for the nutsack box magazine as they tend to get VFC stuff fairly quickly, but no joy yet. I’m also trying to decide whether to go with the Para stock or the collapsible stock.

Accessory/Make: Tokyo Marui Condition: Used Splits/Swaps/Part Exchange: N/N/N Price/Payment: £150 posted and paypalled Pictures: Attached ****I’ve now bought a new takedown pin retention spring and pin to replace the damaged spring and I’m waiting on a lower receiver wedge arriving from Brownells. Both will be fitted and included for £150.**** Fully functioning, but used condition Tokyo Marui M4 MWS GBB lower receiver with a leaking Iron Airsoft Pmag. I bought this second hand and there are a couple of items to note. 1) The previous owner has added a sling plate to the rear of the receiver, but it appears the takedown pin retention spring was damaged during fitting. The end of the spring appears to have been nipped by the sling plate. As a result the takedown pin is a little more loose than it should be. It still locks in place and holds the upper to the lower securely, does not appear to come out while firing and is still retained by the retention pin, but it does not take much force to push it out. Easily fixed with a new spring for around £10. 2) There is gap and wobble between the lower and upper receivers. I’ve tried this lower on each of my MWS and there is wobble with each one. Some more than others. Potentially rectified with a receiver wedge for around £10. 3) The selector switch is quite stiff. Still switches into safe, semi and auto and fires on each mode as it should, but takes a little more effort than it should to select each mode. I’ve not taken it apart to find out why this is the case. 4) The Iron Airsoft Pmag leaks. Likely needs new O-rings. 5) Previous owner has fitted a large bolt release. Will come with the original bolt release. 6) Previous owner has fitted a Magpul pistol grip. Don’t know if it’s genuine or replica. With the above noted, this lower receiver appears to function properly, but feel it’s important to note the above for full transparency. Price includes postage and PayPal fees.£150

I’ll have a look through and see if I have any khaki. If not I’ll get some and give it a go.

Who does a decent quality sand/tan paint? I usually use Krylon, but it’s a bit too bright in colour. Almost looks to yellow, as shown on my old Gordon Carbine build.
