03/03/2018 UPDATE:
WELCOME BACK MY FELLOW BRETHREN. It has been a while as I was shackled by the despairs of reality.
BUT I AM BACK, once again, to finish what I started and hopefully continue with it.
LET US BEGIN:
After amassing what little cash I had, I decided to yolo and go on a hard spending spree because I know I would eventually earn the money back... *cough* student *cough* loans *cough*.
So what did I aim to build? Well to refresh your old aged brains, I set out to build a Noveske Diplomat 7.5 from a game called "Contract Wars", which still holds dear to me (cry for me). It was my favourite weapon and I decided to build the same exact rifle in real life or as close as possible.
After some hard searching I eventually found the real genuine airsoft gen 3 style body on Redwolf - was around 130 smackeroonies doe! I also needed a low profile T1 red dot because that's the optic it had in the game.
Mustering up my courage, I checked out with all my might, preparing to eat from the garbage can for the next month or two. And sure, about a week later UPS hits me with a "IMPORT FEES motherf*cker!".
So uh... let's just say the import fees was like 2-3 weeks worth of food for me.
SO the next day, UPS was supposed to knock on my door and hand me my valuable nuts but soon after leaving my kitchen at 11:30, I get an email saying I missed the delivery at 10:55.... BRO R U SERIOUS? I WAS EATING MY HEINZ BEANS AT 10:30 AND SAT THERE FOR AN HOUR. But in all seriousness, that was a pathetic attempt at a delivery - not even a knock or a sound, just simply saying "Nope, you weren't there, mine now.". My kitchen is situated right next to the door so I would've heard anything that touched the door nope, not even a poke.
SO the next day, I woke up at 9 am and sat there with my phone and sure enough this time, they actually touched the door this time at 10 am to which I finally got my package although the bloke didn't seem to enjoy the nice weather the Russians have brought upon us.
BUT here it is:
And after I strip it out of its home:
Just... look how sexy it is.
I also applied the T1 red dot I forgot I bought too:
And you can also see the mbus sight at the back but don't worry, they're just £5 cheapos for aesthetics only - who in the right mind would £50 for a set of sights, pfffffftttt.
But I also forgot I bought a buffer tube from Taiwan gun which arrived the same day too:
With everything coming together, I only need the stock, silencer, grip and some mags before I take it for a good spin.
Luckily in Dundee, there's an airsoft shop near me named "Kingdom of Airsoft" where they do all sort of custom works on AEGs, and since I don't have access to soldering irons and have no shims or whatnot, I sent my gearbox to the shop to get it tuned and mosfet "ed", hopefully getting rid of gear whine and making it fire roughly 25 rps. The guy told me once the gun is completed, it is pretty much one or two steps down from the highest possible build you can do, to which those words melted their way into my heart since this is like some £1000 build at the moment.
And just a few days ago I bought the rest of the parts from airsoft club apart from the mags because I am not sure what pts style mag the game has:
It's like a pmag but with the grippy dimples in each window and I don't know what that style is called.
So uh, maybe someone can uh, find the name for me, and uh, maybe some product that resembles it the closest. *wink*
BUT finally, with the receiver and sights, the build is nearly done- this will truly be a special M4 build.
Also did a lot of bragging with this image, enjoy my cheesy toes:
