The 'What have you just bought' Thread

Here is sort of what I just bought - came back on Saturday, but the tech has been working on it since Jan 29th. Before that it was cerakoted in FDE.

It also doesn't actually work despite being upgraded heavily and got smashed up a bit by courier. A wire pops out on the mosfet, the stock catch is broken and there are scratches on the cerakote paintwork - but it looks cool and that is all that matters in airsoft haha!

Having not bought anything airsoft for... days.. i decided it was time for some upgrade parts.

510mm Maple Leaf Crazy Jet inner barrel and Flamingo hop rubber for my SCAR-H MK20.

74mm, 138mm, 210mm and 330mm Unicorn inner barrels + hop rubbers to fit USP Compact, MP5K PDW, MP5A5 and SCAR-H.

And 3 M90+ NGRS springs to fit my two MP5s and my 416 Delta.

They do on all the replicas that I have which feature one, though personally that's one feature I don't care about actually working; but hey if the objective/want is more along the replication lines than just shooting bbs at 40m I do get it.

The only tricky thing with the chinese optics is figuring out which actual OEM you're buying from, as on the one hand there's clearly only 1-2 places physically making a given item in most cases, but the sellers are allllll over the place with naming and descriptions (making it seem like there's 50 factories churning out the same thing), not to mention pricing.

This is the example I just bought, only just came in the other day so hasn't been used, but it passes the initial inspection.

At the time of writing I only found one proper replica still up on AliEx, which is worth considering as the site policies are surprisingly pretty tough on sellers. I don't buy much on there, only some of my optics, but in my limited experience so far with something turning up damaged, you'll likely be quite well covered if there's a problem. Don't know if the same applies with the direct sale sites (haven't tested it).

Hi , if possible could you list the other websites you talk  about please - Ali was my goto for kit and as you mention a lot now isnt on there 

 
Z-Bolt duel tail cap came in the mail. My front end OCD is at peace. I need to stay out of this thread to much influence to buy stuff. 

Edit: FFS under flash the light mount and hand stop are a different shade of Anodising.  Back to the drawing board :)

Cheap ex demo Cyma Platinum MP5 CM0.41K, longer hand guard of the one I already have, if it works I plan to either go full Die Hard replica or upgrade it similar to my MP5K PDW and add a longer internal barrel with suppressor outer so I can have a bit more range and accuracy. 

Theta Optics TO551 Red Dot to go on top of it.

Roll of camo wrap, 11.1v lipo and a bag of 0.28 BB's

Black t shirt, black thin tacticool long sleeve top and black jumper and an extra 2 x 130rd mid caps for evening indoor CQB

 
The stuff on it isn't new, but I figured I'd try one of these belt setups that velcro attaches onto a regular belt underneath. £20 on Aliexpress and so far I'm liking it. If I really like it, I may invest in a proper one, but for now this is fine and I will test it next weekend by using just it as a super lightweight setup. I should be able to carry everything I need for a game, but if not I can carry a small backpack with gas and BBs if needed. If anything I might remove the dump pouch if I don't end up using it.

It isn't as scrunched together when it's actually on me, due to angles.
