couple pairs combats @ mil 1st....%15 off so 'every little helps'

 
Windfire Wf-501B Torch with Picatinny offset rail mount and pressure switch.

Just a pretty cheap torch, no zoom, no intensity settings, just on/off, but bright and effective. Not owning my own RIF yet this made life so much better at the weekend. I just taped the pressure switch to the loan gun with self adhesive camo tape. Made sneaking around in the dark so much easier than a hand held click on/off torch.

I even tore it down, reviewed it and added pics.

Went to local shop last weekend, came home with this MP5. Wanted this specific MP5 for a while now, so had to grab it as it came in.

Probably will come home with an AG36 attached to my G36 this Saturday :D

Just collected a new baofang UV-5R

and I have finally figured out how to program pmr frequencies and the correct sub channels  :lol: :lol: :lol:

If you're doing it by hand, it's a pain to do. Best is to get the free open source software Chirp ( http://chirp.danplanet.com/projects/chirp/wiki/Home ), and an appropriate baofeng programming cable (like this one: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/BAOFENG-UV-5R-BF-888S-Radio-USB-Programming-Cable-FREE-Program-Software-CD-/221798554834?hash=item33a4395cd2:g:PJwAAOSwFMZWrwUV )

Ignore the CD it comes with. Also read the chirp site about programming (especially Baofengs and cheap cables with Windows OS).

What I've bought today, as indicated in my previous post :D

Went to get a cheap pistol mag pouch and came home with a new RDS for my pistol, oops!!

 
Once you figured it out I can setup a UV-5R with 8 channels in only a few minutes. In fact by the time @springs had downloaded chirp for Windows, then gave up on the driver, downloaded it for Linux, installed XMing and copied my config, I'd have programmed his radio already :)  The only thing I'd like chirp for is to change channel and radio names.

Just remember that the UV-5R is too high in power to legally transmit on PMR446 channels. The lowest it goes is twice the allowed limit and it has a detachable antenna (also not allowed for PMR446 handsets). By default it transmits at 10x the allowed power (5W instead of 500mW) so be sure to - at a minimum - turn it down to low power (1W).

Not that you'd ever get caught, but ya know if enough people start doing it...

Also bear in mind that if your site has a license that you can transmit on their business/site frequencies with permission. You can then safely utilise higher power bands too. If you're in a team then a license is only £75 for 5 years between all of you, so that's worth considering as well.

I mentioned no such channel or lack of a license, ;)

 
First delivery I've actually had arrive in this year containing more than 1 thing.

  • ITS Tac swag (not pictured: loads more patches)
  • Centurion C4 10" Pic rail

Lonex Red Piston

Lonex POM Piston Head

Lonex AUG Cylinder Head (it works better as a replacement than an AK one o0 )

Prometheus EG 318mm 6.03mm Inner Barrel for PTS Masada 11.5"

AirsoftPro PTS Masada aluminium nozzle

SHS CNC Hop Chamber for PTS Masada

Just something simple this time, a 'Minidiva 551', basically a knock-off Eotech. £30 or so from Amazon and it feels nice and weighty, nice clear sight. But it uses some f*cking bizarre tiny button cells. LR44 cells

 
Another airsoft pro vsr mag catch, as I have some how managed to loose the button part  :angry:

for my kc02, a high flow rocket valve and HK style charging handle

and a Tesco petrol lawnmower.... best £100 I have ever spent on a lawnmower ... don't know why I never got a petrol one years ago
