They estimated a month however I suspect half of that time will be spent ai generating a "sorry we haven't fulfilled this order due to X and we can't refund you because it's been over the threshold time" email 😂

My latest purchase so now have an AK platform from SMG to LMG and definitely the last for a while although managed to find some reasonably priced magazines in Germany that are on their way so it will be skirmish ready unlike the Bizon as I cannot find any mag pouches for its 4 magazines yet

Not a lot but bought a Type 56 style AK sling and trying to decide if it should stay on an AK74 or the PP19..although for 11 quid each on amazon may just buy one for each rifle I have..... Also bought a set of fully functioning Ratnik 6M2 active amplifier ear defenders from truemobster!

Had a successful game day last weekend with the OSW

It’d be remiss not to treat it to an upgrade and a little add on as a treat

The steel sling point fits beautifully, and feels way nicer than the Magpul one I had on previously as a place holder

I’m still dicking around with the hand stop to find an optimal position for it, I may flip it round and have it forward a touch

Lidl find. £4 I think. 

No vents so I'm gonna take a Dremel to it later and make some holes. Fit nicely over my glasses. 

Not sure if of interest to anyone.

Make sure they're actually rated for airsoft and be careful with cutting into them, it could weaken the lenses and cause them to lose their strength

 
My plan was a few 4 or 5mm holes on the top and bottom of the frame, not to touch the lenses themselves. Would that be ok? I think I'll shoot them a few times before I rely on them. Id like a better quality set for sure. I also wear glasses which I assume adds an extra layer of safety?

But I really know bugger all about airsoft and would never argue with the experts...

EN 166 B is the lowest rating for airsoft, these look to be EN 166 F which would be not airsoft safe

If like me you need glasses to be able to see, I've been using these with inserts for the past 7 years: https://www.bztactical.co.uk/nuprol-battle-pro-eye-protection-with-insert-grey-frame-smoke-lens and have taken many a shot to the lenses with them and survived. I would recommend something full seal though honestly. Bloc are highly rated and I am tempted to jump over to them myself however the pricing is a bit off putting - However you can't really replace an eye should it get damaged so 🤷‍♂️ My Dad uses a Dye mask over his glasses (Which are quite a large frame) too which is another good option!

 
Great reply and suggestions, thanks. 

I have been using the full face masks at the site I shoot at, although I did buy my son his own mask.

I think I will get a full face mask as suggested. 

We both wear cheapish goggles when target shooting in the garage with paintball and now airsoft as there's no one shooting back at us. That's really what I brought these for.

Cheers. 

Rick. 

 
Your original photo does not work for me, but from the specification sheet and reference to Lidls it looks like they could be these :

https://youtu.be/WcFNrOIzpYs

The impact level is very basic at EN166F which is just for general workshop / workplace use - to protect from things thrown up, not from things being shot.  They are not even rated for ricochet 

It’s better than nothing, but the inclusion of your son sends the wrong message 

Don’t drill them - not just because you don’t know the effect that it has on what you drill into, but you don’t need any (extra) antifog ventilation as you should not be doing any activity to cause fogging in them 

(I say ‘extra’ because the video references a small element of ventilation, which if that is the right goggle then it indicates that they are designed just for workshops etc and are for just keeping the dust & cuttings etc kicked up away from eyes 

Assuming you have a safe and legal

environment, for home target shooting get some airsoft shooting glasses with EN166B rating, and ideally a strap, even if it is just a surfer’s glasses strap to hold them in place 

(There’s no point in glasses having impact ratings if they bounce off your head on impact)
