The 'What have you just bought' Thread

Can't remember who used to make the m40a3 gas version (pretty sure there was one though), but the m700 based one is expensive, since you have to get the m700 then also get the conversion kit, but once it's together you get the m700 system behind it and the Action Army m700 hop unit is probably the best hop unit I've ever worked with.
Yep, I've got the KJW m700 and the modelworks m40 kit.

The only other gas m40 i know of is the VFC but that's an a5 barrel. But there might be some like 1990's build that there's only 9 of in existence.

In that case, I can't recommend the Action Army hop unit enough. I've got that, plus a modify X-range and Action Army nub and a crazy jet barrel in mine and it's amazing. For some reason my setup doesn't like Maple Leaf rubbers and sent everything, even .48s with no hop applied, straight to the moon. The X-range bucking though performs really really nicely

 
As it appears I'm doing cqb every few months I decided to put together an appropriate loadout (well that's my excuse and I'm sticking to it). So I got myself an 8 fields low profile plate carrier along with a triple pistol mag pouch and something to hold shotgun shells, all for a touch under £30.

Overall I'm happy with it as I can't see any obvious problems with any of it, but at first the molle straps on the pistol mag pouch did look a bit thin compared to other molle pouches I own. This did make the pouch easier to attach to the vest but I'll see next week if they're up to the job. The only other slight let down was the dummy plates which came with the vest. They're foam matting which didn't fill the vest and were a bit too flexible for my liking but were quickly swapped for a better set of dummy plates I already have

Yeah they seemed OIK when we had a test chat with half a mile of houses between us.  the ear pierce mics are a little pooh, but for £30 delivered you can't expect too much.
I'd imagine they would fit any headset etc with a kenwood type plug or adaptor

 
Got a few parts for my A3 this week, here's Betty relaxing in the garden (excuse the plastic tub) & at home with the rest of the family (A2 is a bit poorly but visiting the doctor in a couple of weeks).

She's 6.4kg so not planning on using her in anger.

Just ordered a Marui Hi-Capa 4.3 from Evike Europe. 

First time I've ordered anything from them, so interested to see how it goes.

 
Someone is really trying to get their post count up. 


How hard is it to make even semi-relevant comments, even "that's a nice gun" in the "what've you bought recently" thread, or just general replies in countless off-topic posts?

I mean, come on ?

(Bots: don't get any ideas ?)

 
Bought a new scope today (no photo as of yet) for on my long gun (just an AEG, but like, long).
Managed to use it right away and got some decent distance hits with it.
