The 'What have you just bought' Thread

[Ian_Gere]

I've been a bit made this month and took a trip to JD and finally changed my G&G raider and rid of that horrid triangle sight so looks more modern now. So with the list I have had :-

Hardcase to finally give that extra protection

Hurricane M4 OB 9" with an extra entension

DD 7" mk18 RIS - bronze

Magpul MBUS - black

Magpul AFG - black

MOE pistol grip and trigger guard - DE

WE Glock 17 Gen4 with couple CO2 mags

ESD KSC-KWA Evo II hop system for MP7

HK suppressor for MP7

Tan PTS CTR stock

Magpul Swivel sling mount

Serpa BH glock holster

Traded my Surefire M910 for a surefire M600 scout light

And a pair of Wiley x Spear tan goggles

Just need a tan holo sight now - maybe a hurricane XPS3

'Kin'ell! You'll not be giving airsofting up any time soon, will you?

 

[jcheeseright]

jesus, I thought I was financially irresponsible!

;-)

 

[gwr3850]

hahah blame work for a wage increase. My raider was my first gun and hasnt give any troubles in the time Ive had it so wanted it to look proper now. I'll get some pics up once it's all together!!

Yeah mate, I'm in the process of pimping out my very first AEG to bring it back to life - 'real steel' Izhmash wooden AK stock still in factory paper wrap and ear-wax-stylee grease to go with a barely used metal receiver, new ali foregrip, extended mag catch, mag well flange, sandpaper, etc - I dunno if I can legitimately call her by the same name anymore, but I spose if Lolo Ferrari could keep her assumed name through her various iterations, and Pete fvcking Burns... Sabine is still Sabine. Hmmm... maybe Sabby... Beany = my daughter's nickname (given name is Ceilidh Maya: u'll never guess why Beany so forget it), С ta da а ta da бине! Nah, it's just too much. S-biatch... Sabre Tooth Sab... Sex-Babe-Sabby... and we have a winner! :lol:

Anyhoo, stream of consciousness aside, the last of my fake ivy just arrived from China:

...for my sniper loadout, to blend in @Ikea.​

​

And I also just bought a pair of Grade 1 British Army Lightweight Olive Drab kecks because they were my size and £11 posted - Fleabay Seller (2 pairs left, size 38"L)

​

And fvck it, I'm gonna go buy a vintage SVD mag pouch:

£26.33 posted from Latvia (after everyone and their grannie has had their cut of changing Stirling into US$41 (ie £25.46 worth)​

Ahh,I love the brown paper izhmash pack their stuff in,I got some with my Izh air rifle,gave it to my mate with the LCT AKM and it looks so badass in his gun case! Probs torn by now though,but it's coated in Mikhail kalashnikov's ear wax,so maybe still in one pience

What metal receiver did you get? steel one?

Anyhoo,on my end payment went through to Xfire. 14€ for the rubber and shipping. Again,much better than 21€ off fire support or 28€ off redwolf.

Order from WGC came through:

-TM Series70 Nickel finish

-Stark G17 + 1 extra mag

-2 x 1911 grip panel sets - Colour TBA

-Mechanix originals - "

-King Arms ASAP style AR sling plate with a QD swivel

Also just paid an invoice for a set of highly custom 1911 grips from VZ. Not going to say how much.

A new vest, way better than my current cheap chest rig, it kept on falling off which annoyed me xd

What Chest rig is that Nam'? I was looking at a similar one, you might meet me at TWA one day!

 

[Ian_Gere]

Dunno what receiver for sure, UTJ. The bloke I bought it from didn't know. I think it might be G&P. It has some laser etched trades, but no maker's mark. It feels slightly lighter than steel, but not light enough to be magnesium alloy and there are bits that are too thin to be as flexible as they are, without cracking, for it to be zinc pot metal. I think it must be automotive steel/aluminium alloy - although it isn't stamped as a single piece, it has a series of reinforcement / spacers added down the inside of each side and the bottom and back plate are separate pieces too, all braised together. The stock prongs seem pretty solid, which is handy b/c I expect they'll have to take a bit of abuse when I put the stock on.

BTW, do you know anywhere i can buy a CYMA CM.028/.028S pistol grip or a wood upgrade that fits, or a Marui AK47 one at a reasonable price? Used is good. Wood is good. Used wood better. Bakelite made for AK47 (receiver with grip collar) is best. Plum shiny plastic that looks like Bakelite & fits '47 = I'll cum.

I bought a laser and tactical flashlight combo from Hong Kong as I was in no hurry and it was a good price.

Got a card through the door today from the post office saying they want £12 if I ever want to see it again.

Thats about £4 tax and £8 handling charge.

I should have just bought it in the UK.

Yeah, but at least you got hit on a small price item. By the law of averages, you shouldn't get hit again for a while

(although according to probability theory the odds are actually just the odds each time: they don't change for an individual iteration of a chance, even though on average a 1:5 will produce 200 positive out of 1000 chances)

This one - http://tinyurl.com/ok2twgt

When I look at your profile picture (avatar) you remind me of one guy on TWA helped me with a thing xd but might of be wrong.

 

[AirsoftTed]

Might have been me, my memory isn't all that but I do usually end up on the same team and pairing up with the Polish guys there!

Same thing just happened to me, same price too! I'm trying to get the money back from the seller.

Whaaaat?

Edit: I just translated it The seller seems reasonable, he said the same thing happened to him yesterday. I'll just have to wait and see if they'll refund.

-9 cell 10.8v nimh stick battery for the krinkov

-smart charger (that apparently doesn't charge 9 cell batteries :angry: ) for the stick mag

-some bio ammo (for when shooting at non designated airsoft site)

 

[Ian_Gere]

Where did you get the battery from 2_0 and how much?

Sounds like an Early Guarder/LCT body to me,back when they were made of Duralumin instead of steel.

Anyhoo,obvious grip suggestion(LCT),but bluddy 'spensive:

Not much luck in the used side,mostly tactical style or black pistol grips. No bakelite effect either,I hear some painting work has to be done to it. The BO AKM13 has an actual bakelite pistol grip IIRC.
