The 'What have you just bought' Thread

Spare upper for the NGRS arrived today. Purely an aesthetic change for running an LPVO (awaiting arrival of) as they historically look a bit wank an a shorter RIF in my opinion. Wouldn’t be shocked if this upper eventually ends up getting a carry handle grafted onto it ??‍♂️.

And a big ol’ patch for the back of the PC

Nice C2R patch!

Is that a PTS zev wedge lock rail on the longer upper? Been eying one of those.

Have you binned off the MWS’ and moved to the NGRS instead?

Ta very much, I was expecting it to be decent but very impressed with the quality (the blue leather used is much thicker than I'd expected).

It is indeed, truthfully it came with the upper and I was expecting to replace it. But it seems solid so it'll probably stay. Only real negative is that there are only 2 mlok slots on the top diagonal sections (i guess they'd be the 1:30 and 10:30 positions on a clock ?‍♂️). Not really an issue as I've just used a ranger band, but that did mean I couldn't use the thing I'd usually slap on to keep my tape switch in check (Magpul tape switch cover thing) because there weren't enough mlok sections where I like to run my switches.

The NGRS has been my 'daily driver' for as long as I can remember, I'd hoped to move over to the MWS filling that role like all the other cool folks... but GBBRs just aren't for me. I'm not too proud to admit I just like having (read as, have come to rely on) more mag capacity and just generally find the NGRS more convenient for how I play. So yeah, have sold up on MWS bits and have a second NGRS on the way (L119A1 flavour, very jazzy) so I'll have the short boi, long boi and old boi. Probably the most content I've been with my RIF line up since starting the hobby 15 or so years ago which is a nice spot to be in.

Can appreciate that, I’m currently in the process of downsizing, playing less etc and need “one rifle to rule them all”.

The MWS is staying for now but an NGRS is ticking some major boxes.

Both your uppers look very nice!

Same but different I guess.

I'm a 'player' ahead of anything else in the hobby, a fairly active/aggressive (i.e. like being in the mix, not that I'm wandering around jonesing for a scrap) one at that, and tend to head out at least twice a month and often more than that. I enjoy the gear side of things more than RIFs, so always keep the RIFs I have on deck to a minimum. It's been an NGRS plus one other 'primary' and the trusty TM Glock for a while and that's about as deep of the 'collection' ever goes, I just keep what I actually use. The MWS ended up getting used more because I felt I needed to justify keeping it than it was that I actively wanted to. I do always like to have a back up should whatever I want to use die on the day, and streamlining batteries and mags across the board feels like even more convenience on top of the NGRS just being the best all round option for what I'm looking for in a RIF that sees regular use.

And none of that is to downplay how good the MWS is, purely my personal preferences and experiences from juggling the two different RIFs over the last 2 years or so.

I'm in a similar situation, although I genuinely prefer using the MWS above my NGRS regardless of it being counter intuitive to my playstyle. Like you, I'm a very active /aggressive player, Skirmishing sometimes twice a week so I understand your reasoning for opting for an NGRS. I run my NGRS Scar as backup and I'll also be adding the AK storm to my collection next month.

I can certainly see reasoning either way, they're both superb. It's usually around this time of year that I find myself really excited to use the MWS with temperature picking up and being consistently in the double figures, but that comes hand in hand with battling against more foliage which more firepower is generally the answer to in my case (I'm too shit at the sneaking around stuff to simply get closer, self awareness is important etc etc). The 'recoil' is never something I've been overly arsed with when it comes to RIFs, but I can definitely appreciate the GBBR ASMR and bolt clunking forward after a reload is huge boon for many... it's just not quite enough to win out over a double/tripled mag capacity ?‍♂️.

TLDR - Airsoft is sweet, and folks finding their own personal 'yum' will never not make me happy irrelevant of my thoughts toward it.

 
Aliexpress FleaOTech 3x magnifier. Very definitive click when flipped to the side, perfectly clear to look down.

EOTech logo is a bit bigger than my Holy Warrior XPS & has a slightly shinier finish overall, but great otherwise.

My stock is slightly shorter than a buffer tube, so don't need to have it as far back.
