Not me... As ever i'll be bucking the trend and when shorts become de rigeur, I plan to be wearing some kind of Ali Baba stylee muslin kecks

Really want to get hold of some MTP ones!

I've got a perfectly good pair of scissors you can borrow

I may well do that to my 95 cut ones once i have got some PCS combats.

Not bad for all that then. Hmmm... I was expecting some truly eye watering amount lol!

I do actually now have a 2 spectres so potentially will sell one at the right price

Got myself a pretty decent DDPM load out now, I already had the ex-issue DDPM combats and shirt (with RM flashes).

To add to that I got..

Ex-Issue G1 DDPM Osprey MOLLE Assault Vest with 13 pouches for £26

Ex-Issue DDPM G1 Knee Pads for £6

Black Mesh Goggles NEW for £4.12

Combat Gloves NEW (In Tan, not Black) for £20

.. and I intend to buy to complete the DDPM/DPM load-out..

G1 Kevlar MK6 Helmet with DDPM cover £28

I'm also looking at to complete my Dutch DPM load out (I have the trousers, shirt, jacket and parka)

(£26)

And some kind of DPM cover for the helmet.

Haven't started much on the Flecktarn, but I guess I'll just need a helmet cover, and I can use the DPM Molle with it for now.

Phew!

 

[Nickona]

For a vest I'd suggest just a plan olive drab so you can use it with all your loadout. my OD RAV goes with my A-TACS AU, A-TACS FG, DPM, DCU and my plain colour loadouts as well

 

[Dan's Ark]

-Snow Wolf harris bipod

-Flecktarn camouflage netting (gonna cut it up and wrap it around the barrel)

-Viper sling (Desperately needed it since the last one kept disconnecting mid-skirmish)

-11.1v 2600 mAH battery and charger for my friend's new rifle

Set for next Sunday's skirmish now.

Since my L85 unfortunately died today, sort of... The pinion gear ground itself smooth whilst the gears have no wear on them whatsoever... (so that's Systema parts 0 - ICS stock parts 1)

It also decided that it'd fire full auto on single shot, despite my best efforts to stop it. Not a lot I can really do about it either, so I'm hoping a new cut off lever will fix it, if it doesn't I'll try a new trigger box and if that doesn't work I'm going to have to get the hammers and files out or something. All sounds mad, but if you know how the fire selector, gearbox and trigger interact on an ICS L85 then I can assure you I know what I'm doing lol.

But yeah, despite the gears being fine and ICS parts seemingly being better than Systema ones, I've decided to fully upgrade the gearbox with Systema parts.

From Fire-Support:

1 X Systema PINION GEAR for Turbo and Magnum Motors - Replacing mine that died today. Think it's because it didn't quite mesh with the stock gears, so to avoid it happening again, it actually makes sense to get Systema gears to go with it.

1 X Systema Flat Gear Set I ( Torque up) for Gearbox V - I hope these are compatible. They look the same as the stock gears and aren't all V2 and 3 gears essentially the same, bar build material/quality?

1 X ICS L85/L86 spring set - Last weeks night game saw a lot of rain and the rust on my gun is clearly visible both inside and out. Makes it look awesomely weathered, truth be told, but I don't want my tappet spring to bust, or the cut off one either.

1 X ICS L85 Cut off lever - Hopefully this'll solve the 'firing in auto when on semi' issue. Fingers crossed.

1 X Prometheus Shim Set - Just because.

1 X Systema Cylinder Head v2 Gearbox - Again I hope this is compatible

1 X Systema Air Nozzle for M16A2 and M4A1 - And I hope this is compatible too...

But I guess the worst outcome is that I'll have to send some stuff back and try the V3/AK parts for compatibility and if that doesn't work the parts must be proprietary.

Either way, if it all fits, I ought to have a gearbox good for a heavier spring. So when I do get the L86 I would've bought today had it not been terrible when I tested it - as well as me needing the money to revive my baby - I'll have a noice high fps gearbox rigged up and ready for it.

I'm going to take a wild stab in the dark and say there was an ICS Turbo 3000 motor involved...? I've got one of those league tables too: Systema Parts 0* - CYMA stock parts 1, Cyma stock parts 0 - Prometheus Parts 1 (sector gears)

* Plus a red card for obstinate failure to follow the rules - no, apparently Systema V2/V3 gears are not the same as everyone else's - the bevel gear is slightly too wide.

Have you considered that a good dollop of grease may have been the solution to both these issues? I know that airsoft aficionados recommend cleaning the excess grease out of gearboxes, but, as a matter of principle, all things being equal, more grease = less friction and less corrosion.

Where did you get the 105 spring from, Dazzer?
