The 'What have you just bought' Thread

Just ordered a new cylinder for my T11 sniper rifle. Went for the Action Army twisted cylinder. 

The rivets at the back of my existing cylinder have gone wobbly, and I suspect are going to let go some time soon. 

 
BCM foregrip, after trying it ive come to the conclusion that the RVG is better in every way.

It locks in a way that plays better with other rail covers (with the bcm and certain rail covers like the xtms there has to be a gap between them).

The notches in the rvg make it a more comfortable hand stop.

The RVG is grippier.

The RVG is far superior to grab like a KAC.

When grabbing the rifle the profile of the rvg makes it easier to get a consistent grip due to the notches and shape of it.

All of this is just IMHO of course.

I used to use one of those vests with my P90... it's a bit of a squeeze, but the big pouches at the bottom of the vest are *just* big enough to fit two P90 mags each (although it may make the vest stick out a bit at the sides due to how long P90 mags are).
good to know...   added the vest to my shopping list


 

‘Have too many guns at the moment’ ! How dare you utter such a blasphemous thing ! you can NEVER have too many guns ! ?
i just knew that would set SOMEONE off  =P

Nothing too exciting in this weeks haul...

Can of green gas and some more Valkyrie bbs.

Also bought a replacement drinking tube for my Source Rider hydration bladder... was wearing the it at CQB last weekend, but someones shot managed to hit the collar that clipped the adapter onto the hose =(

(3rd pic shows damage)

Also took the oportunity to buy an adapter so i can refill the bladder from a tap or a bottle while its still on my back

Have you tried it spun around so the angle is forward facing at all? If it’s not for you, then it’s not for you but I find the BCM one the best by a mile personally… but only with the angle facing forward.

This.

I have several BCM style grips - I run them all angled-forward.

I tried angling forward but at that point its basically just a less ergonomic grip stop, i think I'm going to have to field it a few times to get the feel for it as I'm trying to grip it the same way as the rvg and i think i need to have more contact with the grip then i did with the RVG.

Its just less immediately comfortable.

I was under the impression they were designed to be run angled forward, to work with a c-clamp grip.
They are designed to be used either way round but almost every in the wild image I've seen of them they have it angled the same way as me

Can't remember if I posted this here recently, but anyway, the BCM is best as either just a hand-stop using a c-clamp or for the thumb break method.  Something that short and fat is gonna suck for most people if you try and broomhandle it as per top right shown above.

As a general rule, the shorter/smaller/fatter a thing is on your 6 o/clock rail the less hand you'll probably want to actually have on it.  Longer/thinner = more of the grip surface area.  The exception of course is a tac-sac.

 
I like bullpups in general but something about the design of that looks off to me. maybe because it's mostly polymer plastic?
