The 'What have you just bought' Thread

[clumpyedge]

Morning all & Happy New Year, few purchases from me, for 2019 i'm diversifying my playing opportunities. Plenty of events already lined up for 2019, we have x6 Milsim events at my usual haunt which i'll be remaining Op4, however am looking to get out to some single day events & buddy up with a different bunch of players so the obligatory NATO / Multicam has come into play. Have gone back into the plate carrier realm, after falling out of love with my previous carrier as it was too heavy & bulky, this time have opted for a WAS Recon which is lighter, slimmer & more accessible, few sensible attachments added - Triple elasticated mag pouch / single point sling, universal pistol holder, radio pouch & smaller hydration carrier. Have once again opted for Clawgear apparel - MKIV Raider trousers Operator shirt & a KD One molle belt.

Also diversified my night time set up, up until now have been kitted out with a Pulsar XD50 Thermal Imaging scope, but as our local Milsim scene has evolved with different storylines etc. with some events ruling Thermal out, have invested in some NVG, here we have a set of FLIR BNVD-51 NVG. Had their first outing a few weeks ago & was highly impressed, exceptional vision at night, first time using nods as opposed to a Thermal scope, easy to get to grips with navigating & target identification. Worked well with a DBAL-A2 PEQ with IR pointer. Rocking these with a Crye Precision nightcap / FMA L4G24 mount & lanyard. Given i'm normally rolling Op4 opted for the cap as opposed to a helmet. 

Set up nicely now for 2019! Let's hope its a good one Airsofting-wise

Been thinking of getting a nightcap myself, how do you find it holds up without the use of a counterweight?

Hi mate, works perfectly fine without the counterweight to be honest - just wanted to distribute the weight better as some of our previous night ops have gone on for 4-5 hours continuous & was thinking about the longer term!

Awesome, Thanks for the quick reply! I'll bite the bullet and pick one up then. what brand is your shroud? where did you get your night cap and shroud from?

Sourced mine via a supplier on Ebay, a couple of UK based companies also sell them:-

But you can definitely find cheaper elsewhere - Think I paid around the £70 for mine, shroud-wise I opted for a FMA jobbie:-

FMA Helmet Accessories VAS NVG Shroud Aluminium Mount Airsoft Gear TB1253 - BK

Hope this helps

Thanks

Mike

EhobbyAsia sent me an email saying they couldnt provide the stock of some items. (5 G36 midcaps, 1 MP5 RDS, 1 AUG Highcap, 1 Guarder barrel)

So ordered

ZCI 407mm 6.02 barrel to go in my ARX160

Acetech Mosfet to go in the ARX160. 

Also ordered

Pistol retention strap

Guarder G36 Cylinder/piston set.

Just have to get the mags some other time and I can live without the RDS.

[Druid799]

Brand new Jing gong M16A2 , actually bought it just for parts to use on an old and battered TM M16 restoration project but now it’s in my sweaty little mitts I think I may keep it as is , feel really nice and solid and the gearbox sounds lovely and crisp so think I’ll give it a run out at my next game day and see how it performs .

me thinks I’ll be needing to spend even MORE money to get the TM back to its original state ! ?‍

Secutor Rudis Magna.

Honestly, out of the box, better than my extensively modified we g18c, except for fps consistentcy and gas efficiency. Although, that will be remedied by some upgrades I will do to it.

Oh, the rmr is trash btw. I expected it to be but I wamted the slide cut out to fit a better one.

Just picked up a dot for the arp (as the t1 will stay on my am-009), this one

https://gunfire.com/en/products/red-dot-1x40-reflex-sight-replica-black-1152205534.html

Does it look ugly? Holy cow it does (and I may actually like its ugliness)

Does it work? Yes, the dot is an actual dot and being huge it also give good peripheral vision..

Had a similar one (although smaller, lens diameter was around 30) on a g36 and it was really comfortable to look through.
