The 'What have you just bought' Thread

I'm the opposite to you two; I would've bought this specifically to have a takedown version, but that's just me as a bit of a collector. For actual usage, the regular m700s are good and the takedown models tend to have loads of issues, so you both have the right ideas there.

I have... essentially 5 m700s at this point, and not one of them is a takedown version 🤣
If I had multiple I'd definitely get a takedown at some point. I just like gimmicky stuff that I can fiddle around with. But I'm also on a very limited money and space budget so I have to prioritise what I can actually use in a game

 
Saw an Osprey mk4 Hip Belt (large of course) on fleabay & decided to buy it,

1. it adds to my Osprey mk4 collection

2. it has slightly more molle rows 8/6/8 compared to my 'battle belt' set up of 6/7/6

They look very similar but the Osprey presents the first mag on each side further forward & as a fat lad that means I can reach the mag pouches easier.

The Osprey (top) is set up as a sharpshooter belt for my GBB Scar-H & the Battle Belt is set up for 5.56 stanags.

You can tell the Osprey is a little longer but I do need to get another belt for it to go round my roundness.

I've stripped down my Osprey mk4 Body Armour to a basic set-up with just a couple of utility pouches & a placard on the front, so in theory I could wear both in game but lets face it... the damned thing weighs a tonne even without pouches, so that's unlikely.

A slack handful of everything I need to build an m733 turned up this afternoon from 18airsoft. Superb service as ever -order placed with them Thursday afternoon last week , with the cheapest postage option selected. 4 calendar days to my door....

Quite pleased to have found a Lonestar style grip made by 'armyforce' for only a fiver....

 
How was it? I couldn't get a trade ticket without having to pay for the exorbitant meeting booking service thing.


Very pleasant yeah. Well once I got there anyway, there was that tube strike which made the travel a 'mare and the current middle east situation caused the usual protests outside to get cranked up a notch. Very enjoyable once I was there though. I could be slightly biased since I've always got in for free though.

Nice to see cringy patches isn't just an airsoft thing 😁


No the gun world defo stole that idea from.. I dunno whoever was doing sew/iron on patches, but they added velcro, then the airsoft companies started knocking off those designs and it spread from there (just like basically everything in airsoft).
