I got a bag/box full of KWA parts from the USA for my PTS CM4, as I'm converting it from a 10.5" to 14.5" configuration. I'm also an idiot because I broke my upper receiver while trying to unscrew barrel nut ring. PTS is using a shit ton of Loctite on everything; you've been warned!

• outer barrel
  
• inner barrel
  
• Centurion Arms CMR 14.5" M-LOK handguard
  
• KWA PTR upper receiver
  
• some minor spares and bits, just in case
  

Might post pics soon!

PS. After Brexit, if you order from the USA, any individual items that do not go above ₤135.00 will not be subject to either VAT or import duty. It's now much cheaper to import airsoft stuff from the US than it is to order from China!

I was the same when I got my USP-C. It's in a different class from the other guns I've owned and somehow doesn't feel plasticky at all

After years of wanting one. I finally got it ?

Grabbed a Guarder 2019 Outer Barrel. I am going to dremel cuts into the holes that weaken the Hop unit and essentially turn it into a Maple Leaf design one which addresses a big weakness in the design.

Dear god...what have I done....?

I've just ordered a 3D printer.

There's a bunch of bits that I want to print for my various guns (including some of my own ideas), and my son has been nagging me for one for nearly a year now.

Soooo.....I've got a Creality Ender 3 V2 on the way.

This could be a whole lot of fun, or a slippery descent into frustration and madness. Time will tell.

I've just had to drag my finger off the "buy it now" button.  I blame Gun Jesus promoting "additive manufacturing" to create new stripper clips for Forgotten Weapons.  My head was still in the "those things cost thousands, right?" space, I was astonished to find that they can be had for under £200 now, with plenty of happy users.

Luckily, I don't have anything specific that I'd actually want to - oh my Emperor, I need to print aquila and purity seals!

Must... resist... urge...

£168 shipped from Creality's UK Warehouse, not much more than an entry-level Airsoft Blaster.

Funnily enough I saw this video the other day and thought of you:

Dude.  Do you work at Dave's Custom Airsoft or something?  This isn't a thread for stock images as you've previously been told.

Booooo, spoil sport. I for one had been thoroughly enjoying being drip fed the entire DCA catalogue without ever having to visit the website (and such, never see those prices).

Printers are great. You can print all the accessories that are too expensive, discontinued or don't exist. I'm at the point of designing full kits and guns.

It really changes how you look at airsoft guns. They become the potential for something more, instead of looking at a gun and thinking that looks cool you look at it and think, what could this become?

Hence why I'm picking up a tac-41 at some point to make a MSR kit for it so that I can own the only usable Airsoft MSR

Indeed. I have great plans for a spare G36 I've got knocking around, but I need to tackle the fundamentals first (machine setup and tuning, designing parts etc.) so it's more of a long-term aspiration.

I've been working through quite a few Fusion360 tutorials - I'm good with 2D drafting in CAD (Autocad & Draftsight) but wrapping my head around the 3D stuff has been a bit trickier.

im willing to bet it will be a mix of both,  but biased towards the latter option

good luck all the same though

 

[Monkman]

God dammit, i've got to stop doing this.  I don't need any more guns.....hahahahaha

Cheeky little Umarex Glock45.  Why? Coz I don't own a Glock.

Quality is great and feels good...lets see if it's any good tomorrow night.

Sling setup I’ve landed on for the Krink turned up, first impression is I might prefer it to the Slingster. I guess time will tell, either way the Uloops seem like a really smart replacement for snap hooks and paracord.

From the point of view of someone wouldn’t know his arse from his elbow when it comes to 3D printers  is there that much of a difference in the quality of the print between the entry level ones and the lower mid range ones ? Reason I ask is I’ve bought a few different bits’n’bobs over the years and some the quality was absolutely shocking ! 2’ish yrs ago A friend bought a hexagon suppressor from a well known seller and when it arrived it had thick ridges on the layers and just nasty looking but then other stuff you could barely tell the difference in them from say a moulded piece .
