The "Share A Bargain" Thread

I think I will stick with a coyote version of my current vest.

Its well made and comes with lots of pouches I don't need plus a couple of useful ones. That way I don't have to get used to a totally different set of gear.

Cheers for that just ordered

How much do I want that Sten? I can almost taste its full metal BSA licensed goodness...

Would make WW2 re-enactment games a doddle for kit too - just retask my telnyashka and a beret, get some onions => Voila le Maquis bien sur!

 

[Russe11]

I soo want that sten now. No onions for me, I don't want to be the guy crying cos he got shot in the onions

 

[remus]

just as well i hate stens. think it was medal of honours fault but i just hated the things. on the other hand i always loved the BAR, somehow i doubt ill ever see one at that price...

 

[Russe11]

Damn you Remus, I am now the owner of a Sten, now I'm gunna have to get mags and a ww2 loadout and it's all your fault

 

[jcheeseright]

Haha.

 

[Russe11]

Remus is kinda forgiven, the sten has arrived and its a thing of beauty. I totally love it!

All steel, weighs a tonne, very solid.

 

[remus]

glad to be of service. anyone know how good those snipers are as im almost tempted at that money

If the ASG is a clone of the A&K (which most of 'em seem to be) then it's cheaper than most to get up to skirmishable standards, but there are some essentials that you need before even bothering, IMO, even though it should reach about 440FPS OOTB. The stock hop unit is such a ball ache - it needs a hex key into the top to adjust, which means the top cover has to be off.

The advanced one from airsoftpro.cz is easy to fit and works like a G36 type but a bit more precise, so you can adjust it simply by drawing back the bolt catch (although that is also cocking it, so if you let it return forward after cocking, then "open the chamber" to adjust the hop, you'll have put a 2nd BB into the hop unit - you need to cock then hold the bolt to adjust the hop, then let the bolt catch go).

Also the bolt catch is quite small to pull an M150 spring back - with one, maybe one & a half fingers, so you need to buy the extended handle - here it is with a good pile of bits of varying necessity. You can get most of it from Daz on ASPUK too, but not as cheaply. Even so it's a fair drag to cock...

I put in a Madbull Ultimate 590 x 6.01mm TBB which upped the FPS to around 540, which meant I could drop the spring to an Element M135 to come in at around 492 with 0.2g BB's - ppl say you can fit a 650mm barrel in them, but that puts the inner barrel well into the flash hider. visible through the slots, besides doing so may well make it difficult to acheive top FPS without going over 500, so you'd have to drop to a M130 and lose 10-15FPS, down to maybe 385... anyhoo, it's a lot easier to use like this.

Edit: in reply to Remus above, doh!

 

[remus]

fps- i would have to downgrade it to be playable anyway so fps loss aint an issue(stupid ni 328 flat limit) just accuaracy etc. not that snipers are much use here as a result but im still thinking of it....

Whenever this thread comes to the top now, I get a feeling of impending (financial) Doom

 

[Ian_Gere]

mmmmmmmmmmmmmm... Tokarev goodness... Hasn't got a good rep though. There is one that has, but i'm buggered if i can remember what make - it's not a common manufacturer; in fact the only thing i can remember for sure is that it has a double stack mag so 20-odd rounds rather than the 11 which this'n & the SRC both take.

sorry, the kwa tokarev is not up to the usual kwa standards or am I reading that wrong?

well, that's good for my wallet because I was very tempted.

 

[Ian_Gere]

Yeah, i've read a few people say the kwa TT33 looks great but isn't much use. On Red Alliance iirc.

The webby where i found the one which is apparently good was Russian, but the gun comes from the USA - prob not made there mind!

So I bought some of the WW2 boot polish they're selling in this clearance sale - £1/tin. The tins are smaller than usual polish tins and a right ball ache to get into first time, because they have no twist opener... tbh, even after using a knife to get it open and you get the paper seal out, it's not totally simple to get it open again... but the polish is excellent!

 

[Russe11]

BTW they restocked the £100 stens are Landwarrior
