Sorry, like this http://uk.redwolfairsoft.com/redwolf/airsoft/Accessories_Grips_and_Stocks_AEG_SOCOM_Gear_ACE_SOCOM_stock_for_M4_AEG_Black.htm

Hey guys, been playing about with pimp my gun and am in love with a Socom M4 stock. However not loving the price I was wondering is anyone knows of anywhere cheaper than the 75 quid I have found from UK retailers.. Does anyone know of any cheaper links? Thanks.

Liking the idea of boltcutters on a loadout, reminds me of that picture of a guy with a small ladder section on his back for peering over walls...

I tend to hang a blanket over a chair and back under the legs and shoot through the legs of the chair. The BBs are kept in the blanket and can be tipped into the bin or back into a bb bottle if your tight like me

Still being new, I totally agree with these guys. I would avoid those and follow the advise given. I was lucky enough to be given a spare gun from my brother to use on my first skirmish, and being the bigger brother I never gave it back But I would have been like you and would have chosen my first rifle based on price, having played a few skirmishes now I realise I would have been very annoyed and my bun wouldnt have lasted. I bought a M4 combat raider a little while ago based on advise on this forum and have used it twice and am itching to either upgrade or buy a much more expensive and better quality gun already as I tend to be out ranged and out gunned a lot at skirmishes. So basically save up, a Raider or another 120-140 rifle will do you for a long time if your happy with it and will give you soo many more options. I bought a lot of cheap kit (knee pads, clothing etc) around 6 months ago and most of it has failed already so certainly buy decent stuff. Its easy to get carried away and buy soo much but get your essentials correct the first time and you will save money and be happier for it!! You will be disappointed with cheap kit. I was and still am!!

Cool, I assumed so. Was thinking of sticking in on the side panels as I figured it would stick out a lot. but generally want the front clear as I lay down a lot and dont want too much on the front flapping about.

Probably an obvious question, but as I dont have any to look at I dont know the answer.... In theory could I put a Molle pouch onto another molle pouch if it has straps on the front? to create a double stacker..

Cheers guys, Loz seems perfect. Will have a look during my next lecture (boring day at uni today).....

Have ordered my PC and now need to cover it in bit of material to hold stuff in... But there are far too many options and price ranges. Looked at Military 1st and clocked up more than 100 quid on pouches before I had finished, shed a little tear and clicked the little X in the top right hand corner to save myself. I need some pouches, admin, grenade, dump, pistol mag, holster, M4 Mag (Preferable a triple stacker) and maybe one or two for general bits and bobs. Would like them in OD if poss and would like them to match ideally. I was wondering (apart from Viper) what brands are generally thought of as robust and good value without breaking the bank or any brands which are slightly more expensive but look the part. What do YOU use?? Thx

Liking the Green one Calibre!!

Go on then, I shall have one for the cause !!

Was going to order a whole rig last night but my car is fooked so may need to save the cash for that.. All your comments and links are appreciated!!

Had the EXACT same convo/argument with my lil brother t'other day about SF. he was adamant they are issued with and wear a matching uniform. I was winding him up for so long but kinda gave up as he has mild issues and it wasnt worth me going there.. But my Green loadouts coming along nicely. Will post pics soon!!

Hell you boys have convinced me... And I had no intention of buying one haha

Right you are, missed that one... Will order that one. Doubt I will find better for cheaper and it looks good enough so shall bag!! now to find pouches lol

Great thanks for your replies, as always you guys are a font of knowledge.. I shall find some calipers and have a check *now where are the calipers*???

This one looks more the part. and I think its certainly worth the extra for the sides and the better look.. http://www.military1st.co.uk/201039-001-condor-gunner-lightweight-plate-carrier-olive-drab.html

Sorry, really being stupid here... Is it not Molle all the way around? and what do you mean cummeurbund? Ah are you refering to lack of side Molle?

Anyone have any opinions on this.... http://www.military1st.co.uk/201042-001-condor-sentry-lightweight-plate-carrier-olive-drab.html Is it really too good to be true? I will be using it once a month so dont need top dollar quality but Condor seems a decent brand..

I am a big fan of a plainish OD loudout. Building one myself. Looking good. However there is a thread dedicated to loadouts

I can sell you a number for the princely sum of £299.98.... This eliminates all your problems in one go.. Dont say im not helpful!!

Just wondered if anyone knows any gems of a plate carrier as far under 100 quid as possible? have to be Molle and Green, either Ranger Green or OD?? Want to build a green set up on a budget. Thanks

A lot of good points being chucked about. I would LOVE to find a place and run my own site but with work, family and Uni currently there's no way I could fit it all in. I think its realistic to certainly run a site and break even, possibly even make a small profit for investors and/or staff (I think it would even be possible to run a site on a part time basis and not take a wage for myself). I just wish I had known about Airsoft a few years ago when I would have been all over starting my own company...
