The 'What have you just bought' Thread

[Cooperman26]

The one time the phrase... 'I honestly didn't order it' would have been true.

But trying to fit it is a basted! Probably not a job to do after a few vinos

 

[ButcherBill]

Just reminds me when I ordered a new graphics card for my gaming pc & 'felt the need' to keep my spending to myself, I set the postal address to my work (tesco) but the bloody courier took it to the wrong tesco WHERE MY WIFE WAS A MANAGER!

While we're on the subject of aks.

i recently picked up this £100 arcturus pp-19 from the classifieds which now bring my ruskie weapons count to 9

I'll give you £101 the you've made a profit

Finally replaced my worlds worst red dot (TM) with a decent Vector maverick gen 2

Haribo in this economy?!

 

[Enid_Puceflange]

He said “some Haribo”

Like the quantity you would expect handed to the back seat passengers on a road trip.

A full size packet would be reckless in this economy

Not when you can buy wholesale with discount too. The individual packets don't even slow me down either.

Whilst trying to sell my SA80 accessories, a friend messaged me he saying that he had a G&G L85A2 which would just beep whenever he pulled the trigger and he had given up with it, sold it to me dirt cheap as boneyard - Turns out the electric blowback had blown up, ironically causing the L85 to jam (VERY realistic...) 

Offered it back to him at the same cost once I'd fixed it as it was a case of removing the blowback unit, he declined and said keep it so I did just that.

Sadly none of my PTS E-Mags fit or feed it though. Going to have a look at sorting that out next

That is rather nice.  I had an Army Armament L85 for a while; I quite fancy a semi-decent one.

Coming from only owning ICS & WE, this one may genuinely be the best replica internally. The simplicity of the split gearbox is beautiful and it had a 2 fps variation, 21 shots all averaging 302 - 304fps on a 0.25g BB. Obviously the blowback is terrible, so I would advise disabling it even if it does work. I’ll have it with me this weekend if you want to check it out

My eldest had one of the early G&G L85s, which was a festering heap of poo, although strangely the blowback did not cause any problems.  He sold it years ago when he gave up airsoft.

I am going to AP this Sunday and plan to be at Splatoon on the 26th.

Internally it's really nice but my god, the issues with just putting the two halves together is a bloody nightmare - On top of that, battery space is non existent. Not sure where I'm going to even put a battery with the DD rail. On my ICS's I used to fit the battery up top after removing the mock gas tube etc but the G&G requires a clamp around the barrel at the rear which pushes the battery up. If it wasn't for the price of the G&G, I think I'd of got an ICS again in hindsight

I cannot remember where we put the battery after I fitted a DD rail to Ben's one; I think we might have use a dummy PEQ box.  I think if I was to get one, I would stick with the polymer handguards.

 

[ButcherBill]

My battery still goes in the dd handguard but I had to remove the gas parts.

I bought this rather nice CYMA MP5 SD6 from @Petford25 through the classifieds here; it will go through all my usual upgrades, including fitting an SEF lower.

Yes, solid guns with a decent hop unit.
