The 'What have you just bought' Thread

[Yesmush]

After an 8 year break from airsofting, I have found myself lacking hobbies during the summer. Other than clay shooting and fishing. So just purchased a VFC Avalon calibur! Wohoo here we go again!

Its been a couple months of painfully selling a lot of gear but I finally have my dream setup, dual 14s.

Special thanks to @DrAlexanderTobacco for buying my PVS7, helping me make this possible!

That was taken in the dark through one of those NVG's?

Yes, taken at night with cloud cover in my back garden, no lights or IR.

Maple Leaf 50° Decepticon rubber

Maple leaf I-Key.

All going into a TM G17.

Brilliant, will easily hop .32's!

Blimey! That's actually pretty impressive....

Just placed an order with X-Fire for a new PDI barrel. Good times.

Their custom length service is very handy. Ideal for some of the awkward models.

Emperion

This quite possibly could be one of the best/worst purchases I have ever made. 

Musing with my tech the other day about the upgrading possibilities of the Umarex MTar X95 Plastic Polycarb gearbox LPAEG. Figured I might give it a go if the price is right. Figure the RC Motor can be replaced with a neo RC motor. Barrel can definitely be changed for a longer tightbore to bring up the 230 FPS up to 250-260. Sort out the compression and might even top 270 without changing the spring. Hop unit is on on/off only dealy, so will be looking at a setting to lift .25's or .28's. 

Managed to find one on a German site for only 42 Euros, 10 euros postage. A 5 euro discount for orders over 50 euros so grabbed an Element piston head whilst I was at it. 

Here are some internal photos of another one...

gut it and put more standard internals in it?

or if it's at least a standard size cylinder you could probably get an hpa to drop in.

Unlikely, a V6 gearbox might be possible, but will likely protrude out of the back. Many people online have asked if its possible, no one has confirmed or denied. 

However some people claim to have HPA'd it, though if I were to spend that sort of money I would need to sort out the Hop unit to be adjustable rather then On/Off. 

This is mostly for CQB or a lightweight (Only 1.2kg) sniper sidearm throwaround. As long as this hits out to 35 metres i'll be happy!

I would probably try and reinforce parts of the gearbox with a strong apoxy resin.. mind their doesn't seem to be all that much tolerance/space upfront where cracks are more likely to occur, (at least from the above photo) however even a thin layer in certain key locations could help.

Hmm, hard to judge just from pics but a v6 might well fit.

Hop could be tricky, maybe tdc mod it?

I am more stressed at how messy that guys room is!!

I have actually spoken to the same guy. He made it run on a 11.1v lipo and is still running 2 years on. In the end that, a Hop rubber change, barrel change and modification to the hop unit itself is all he did. 

There will be a build thread on this at somepoint I am sure! 

 

[Albiscuit]

Has he cleaned his room though?

New gen 3 hop chamber for my Cyma M24. Looks nicely made and took less than a week to arrive at my door.
