The 'What have you just bought' Thread

[Speedbird_666]

You could have spent half that money for the same thing.

That's what @Speedbird_666 meant. Nuprol just imports and rebrands stuff, apparently with a hefty mark-up too! (not uncommon tbf)

I was going to post links to AliExpress in my initial post, but I didn't want to piss on anyone's Cornflakes.

If anything has a Nuprol sticker/logo on it, it's pretty much guaranteed that it's available for the half the price direct from China.

If frickin lazors aren't a priority, you might want to look at X300 clones, a fair bit cheaper https://www.aliexpress.com/wholesale?catId=0&initiative_id=SB_20210601063655&SearchText=x300

EDIT: also yes, the rebrand game is strong in airsoft.

Which makes it sort of fun to find the best price (lowest doesn't necessarily mean best, sometimes it's worth spending a few more coins and get an useable warranty in return, for example)

Nah fuck the laser. Just Purchased one of the x300 units. You just saved me some cheddar skara

There are some awesome deals on AliExpress. SF M300/600 clones can be had for less than £20 shipped too. There's a whole bunch of accessories (grips, stocks, rails etc.) on there to suit most people's needs. Sometimes it takes a bit of creative searching (e.g. using 'Gel Blaster' instead of 'Airsoft') to find the cool stuff.

They are also collecting the VAT at source - so the stuff is clearing customs pretty quickly.

Given the recent move of production of some optics to China by Sig and the comparatively high price of that for a 'replica' (not to mention that they hide all the trades in the listing pics) there's no denying it's a good possibility at least.  Sig will do extra QC if this was the case and you'll have a higher lemon chance going straight to China, but interesting.

Oh so true , a good friends mum and dad went on a guided tour in China a few yrs ago weather started turning nasty so the tour guide asked who needed waterproofs ? So next day the ones who did jumped in the mini bus and trundled off to get some . Hr or so later they drive in to a big factory looking place and up to a side door , guide knocks on it chap comes out pops on the bus and wanders around with a North Face catalog and a clipboard , everyone chooses what they want , guy disappears and reappear 15mins later with the kit they pay him not even a 3rd of retail price then head off back to the hotel . Later that day dad asks the guide who they’d bought the kit from and she turned around and said “oh that was the North Face factory , the man was my cousin who works there !” ???

It makes me chuckle that a brand offshores their product for manufacturing, then gets pissy that the factories start knocking out 'third shift' products at stupidly low prices. 

I bet the SIG knockoff optics on Aliexpress are third shift products, coming off the same line during the 'third shift of the day' (the first two shifts are for the 'authorised' product to be sold by SIG) maybe with the odd QC fail thrown in for good measure.

If frickin lazors aren't a priority, you might want to look at X300 clones, a fair bit cheaper 

If laser isn't a priority I would preffer product that isn't as bulky as X200/X300/X400. I would go for Olight PL-Mini 2 Valkyrie style or Surefire XC-1 knock-off for a pistol and for rifle go with proper torch instead. But that's just me I suppose.

This is my personal favourite for pistols:

TrustFire GM23 800LM LED Torch Pistol Light Gun Lights USB Rechargeable Tactical Flashlight, Quick Release Handgun Torch Bright: Amazon.co.uk: DIY & Tools

klarus GL1 Rechargeable Pistol Torch Light, 600 Lumens Compact Tactical Weapon Light with Strobe, Compatible with Glock and 1913 Rail, Powered by Built-in Polymer Battery: Amazon.co.uk: DIY & Tools

edited links, no point getting it from AliExpress and paying customs if you can get it for the same price on Amazon with next day delivery...

This cheeky wee monkey arrived on Sunday, way faster than expected

Received in a trade for my TM Scar which I just wasn’t really using.

Gbb’s have really got my attention now. Cheap scope just arrived from Amazon, looks the bizz ?

Looks sweet. I'd get a cantilever mount for that red dot though.

You know you could just keep one. It would probably be cheeper.....

A pair of kydex mag holders for the Prowin Glock mags from Kydex Customs. Decided to give Tek Loks (or at least Tek Lok adjacent) a go for the first time, added convenience of swapping things about seems great. Superb work as always from the folks there. And an MCB strap/cover for the Peltors, just fancied a change.

Where’s the fun in that ???

Wasn’t expecting this till tomorrow/Friday based on the tracking (good ol’ UPS)... but I’ll take it.

Had nothing but regret since selling my previous one, suffice to say I won’t be making that mistake again... probably.

Love an SVD. I'm tempted by the we one on the classifieds, just need to work out sourcing a set of wood furniture for it.

Picked up a nice FLYYE mbss pack that’ll molle onto my PC & has shoulder straps if I decide not to ?

This came with the wood furniture, scope and 4 mags. Shoots around 480 so a bit hot for a dmr

That GBBR with out a forgrip and stock? The seller needs to update the add. I am currently modding a A&k polymer stock to fit it and waiting on a scope. It has a lovely kick and is loud.
