The 'What have you just bought' Thread

[bitofanidiot42]

On my limited budget, I have bought a second hand Army R28 in two tone blue, hoping the cheap price won’t mean cheap QC. Only sign of wear is a tiny chip on the plastic grip.

I could always upgrade it when I raise my budget, it’s TM compatible.

Given the price of parts individually vs in a whole gun I'd consider saving up enough to eventually buy a whole TM pistol; that's not even factoring in the propensity for various different brand bits to often not get along vs the high reliability probability of a simple factory build.

October to April purchases minus some HK bits and the Brit Tac belt.  Hope you folks like squinting at slightly different greenish digital camos...

Well after the fluid loss I suffered last weekend, i purchased myself a camelbak.... 

Going to take a fair bit of washing and disinfecting before I drink anything from it.   Shame gin & tonic is not conducive with the safe operating of an automatic weapon. ???

Strongly considering taking a water bag next time I go out.

Bicarbonate of soda is good for getting rid of that plasticky taste btw.

I put a load of 1 litre bottles in the freezer to take with me last time, but the panic and rush of getting the lad sorted for his D of E expedition meant I forgot to take them. 

Ironically I was at Sentinel in Dunstable and his expedition site was less than 2 miles away, so there was no need to panic, nor get his mate's mum to take him.   

Nowt like proper planning eh? ???

Yet more ADF kit,

Type 2 AMCU bush hat and trousers,

HMAS Arunta cap,

Choc was a freebie

Battery box and strobe for the TW lid in the second pic.

When I bought a surplus one last year, it was a little bit “stale “ smelling in the bladder. I let it soak with a tablespoon of bleach filled with lukewarm water

a good dozen rinses out after an overnight soak, likewise with the hose and bite valve and it’s good as new ?

There's a bright orange post-it note stuck on the inside of my front door saying: "EYE-PRO, BATTERIES, WATER".  Saved the day several times.

That's impressive, mine would read BATTERIES. EYE PRO, SIGHTS,  GLOVES, THE OTHER BATTERIES STILL ON CHARGE, TOOLS, BOOTS, SOCKS, AMMO blah blah.
Anything short of an actual pew I could forget to bring, and have done on some occasion

I was editing for brevity.

A genuine Cmore  red dot to replace the knock off version.

Thankfully the knock off railway clamp uses the correct bolt spacing so fits perfectly!

Picture or it didn’t happen ????

Will do later, the cmore comes in a crappy cardboard box. The knockoff came in a half decent plastic case. For the price it seems to be the wrong way round
