AEG parts because AEGs are totally in vogue right now and they're what everyone is talking about (Madbull buffer tube, 2 x G&P barrel nuts, old school TM lo-cap USGI style mag).

Above is from MLE Mart. Website is pretty bad, but they went so far as to take the staple out of the packaging for the mag, wrapped it in bubble wrap then put it back inside. Well, someone did anyway, if it wasn't TM themselves I presume it was MLE.

 
Decided to stop sitting on my hands about it and finally pulled the trigger on parts to get my poor venrable DE UTR back to the world of the living

Absolutely shitting myself about the Perun install, but hey - how hard can it be? (I'm fucked)

 
Having had the Helikon Tex Swagman in my basket for aaages waiting on it possibly dropping in price, I gave up and ordered an Ali Exp clone for 1/5th of the price. 
Not my first choice of camo, but the best out of what was available 

Great for lounging around the house ?
I was literally looking at those on Aliexpress the other day! What's the quality like? Standard poncho liner type thickness?

Its decent for the money

My mrs found it £5 cheaper for the exact same item on Temu ?

Its like a thin summer sleeping bag, nothing like the Swagman, but for about £120 less, I’ll live with that

Mrs Puceflange is quite handy with the sewing machine, so is going to add a couple of buckles to sleeve it the same as a Swagman

One thing I noticed is that the zipper doesn’t go all the way round, so instead of zipping it up to form a sleeping bag, you get a sleeping tube!

But overall, I’m super happy with it ?

It’ll be good for staying warm on site before the briefing or at lunchtime on sites

 
Right - added to the new tax year purchase list then, thanks! It would be lovely if you could also get them in Mitchell pattern like the Helikon's, but beggars can't be choosers!
