The 'What have you just bought' Thread

[Zak Da Mack]

Went skirmishing yesterday down at apocalypse airsoft. Managed to pick up a serpa which I've loosened a little by sticking it in some boiling water, but it's still a little tight.

Also just bought an RIS rail off of SimonQuigley in my feeble attempt to try and build a L119A1

Gosh darnit, spending too much... Just got a few more things... Vegetato set from Airsoft_Mr B, £30, a new ZCA 60 rnd 40mm grenade (brings total up to three), £22, a basic coyote tan double 40mm grenade MOLLE pouch, £7, WE Nuprol 4.0 gas (black), £17, WE Nuprol 2.0 gas (green), £12, ICS folding foresight, £22, and about to order a custom Velcro patch with Spaz and Rogers on it (if I can still afford it). Oh, and a mock silencer that fits my new M4A1 from BigAl, as my B&T tracer is about 1/8 of a mm too large... Shame, I guess not tracer for me... There's now an extra 6000 tracer round sitting around my room :/

Its a CRYE CPC, The price is awesome too h34r:

With a price tag that high (unless there is something I'm missing), it better allow you to levitate, see through walls, bend pellets mid-flight, and project a force field around you...

There's a Madbull hopup chamber with built in tracer illuminator for M4's. That could be a way forward for you - iirc it's not such a stupid price, compared to other Madbull kit that is :lol:

Hmm... Gonna need to sell a few more organs to be able to get anything right now, but who knows, I sometimes babysit for some rich people . Might get lucky. Anyway, I only have experience with one AEG gearbox (from a P90, which is considered to be the easiest to work with, yet still took me more than an hour to get the stupid spring to hold still long enough for me to jam it all back together...), so I'd have to find some sort of in depth tutorial explaining how to do this, else I would fudge it up...

Hop up changing doesn't involve the gear box bud!

dunno how good but don't think you can get them much cheaper:

I already have a B&T tracer; my issue is that it is just a touch too wide; these probably will be too.

and I know the hop isnt part of the gearbox; just havent messed ariund with my new M4s internals besides rewiring it.

 

[Sitting Duck]

if you buy the madbull hop the tracer bit is still extra - usually so read the small print

on exactly what you are buying.....

Also once the led's are wired in it usually is usually on all time unless you wire in a switch

(could wire into trigger but you'd want it on for a little while to illuminate the tracer bb's I guess)

 

[Lozart]

You could get some Incentive Designs tracer mags. I have a couple and they're pretty good. Bright enough to see where you're firing but not as bright as a silencer type. Not always a bad thing.

 

[Airsoft_Mr B]

SRC P42 Case + other stuff from TaiwanGun

Black mandible / face pro thing sold out so I've ordered one with a skull on for a bit extra. Was going to get coyote but would look out of place.

£82 w/ £10 delivery

Shame about having to spend like £250 for free shipping now...but the case is £40 so even with shipping on top it's still £10-£15 cheaper than the UK. (They're £60 from Zero One, must be ~£6 postage too)

Yea, but with the cost of one mag equal to that for the hop, I would probably just get the hutu.

Fair enough. I have heard though that it's not great either as a hop unit OR a tracer. Not actually used one though so I can't really confirm.

Remember the madbull hop up needs the led unit to work, lots of places sell them separately. It's about £60 all in.

You could always DIY it ...

If you are doing DIY, it's much better to put it in the hopup IMO.

Yea, I know. Both the sites I was looking at (airsoftworld and where B recommended sell it as the hop and tracer together).

Airsoft Innovations Propane Adaptor Kit

G&G Kill Rag (cos it was a quid)

Wore it for 14 hours a day with a 16kg load all last weekend, back felt fine on Monday and I hardly felt the weight while it was on. Worth every penny!

 

[Zak Da Mack]

Just got an old school CAR-15 stock on it's way from the US, £20

Then went onto sealairsoft.com and ordered: rail covers, guarder pad for buttstock, silencer & some CYMA KAC-styled sight which will probably be naff - £40

Looks like this L119A1 is coming along nicely

It's a long slippery slope Zak if you need any help just drop me a pm
