The 'What have you just bought' Thread

That's a good idea, they were pretty cheap too, didn't have the colour I wanted though, would have ordered one then if they did.

 
Just come back from another visit to Riflecraft but this time I bought a Vortex Strikefire sight. Awesome RS sight with a screw on x2 magnifier for £127. Lifetime warranty as well :)

Also got to handle RS Glock 36 and Taurus .357 revolver. Was quite surprised by the polymer on the Glock which felt more plasticky than an airsoft pistol!

 
That's impressive, Lantac are asking £175 for the exact same optic.

Really good to see the Vortex stuff becoming more commonly available here, they make an excellent option for airsoft use. A lot of airsoft brands have been getting away with charging similar prices for much lower quality for too long now.

 
Exactly my thoughts. You need to pop up there and have a look around the shop CK. Going up there again next week if the 5.11 order is in and taking my Hi Capa to get Cerakoted. Had a play with a JP .22 centre fire semi auto rifle and a RS Glock 36 and Taurus .357 Python. Top guys!

 
I'd like some cerakote done on bits of my LM4 so I'd imagine I'll go down at some point. Just unsure about the whole process; time taken, cost, exact condition the parts need to be in prior to work etc. Their new website is good but there's not a massive amount of actually relevant info.

 
I have a price list if you would like a copy? You can send the parts stripped or they can strip for you (for a charge) and assemble. Time at the moment is a couple of weeks.

They showed us a lovely .338 Lapua rifle that had just been cerakoted. That was awesome!

 
I'd like a copy if you don't mind,.just for personal.interest :)

 
Maybe a silly question, but what's cerakote?

It's a type of rifle paint, but much more hard wearing than say just spray painting etc.
I think it's more popular over in the US but there are a couple of places in the UK now offering it.

Just got myself a replica AN/PRC-152 so that I finally have a shell to hold my ugly old Talkabout T5820. Didn't think having that little thing was very good for mil-sim...

Surprisingly well built and accurate apart from a little rattle which the super glue should be able to fix no problem!

No pics though yet, sorry!

Just bought Heroshark Mako's and a heroshark lower mesh to go with them. No more steaming up for me :)

 
Well the Flyye chest rig i bought from ebay turned out to be crap.

2 of the velcro mag retention straps had been hacked off leaving huge holes inside the mag pouches. This was mentioned in the ebay advert but simply said removed. On the center rifle mag pouches the elastic retention had also been cut off meaning the mags flew out with even a small jump.

Really pi55ed off as it was meant to be used by the wife tomorrow evening!







 
Sam do u need to borrow something for her? I'm sure I've got some old webbing somewhere that she can borrow, or even use my brothers if I can find it

 
Sam, I'd get on to eBay/PayPal about that, certainly doesn't seem like the discription matches the product you recieved

 
The end radio pouches were also tucked inside themselves to look like the ammo pouches.

It is sorted. it is being returned for a full refund inc return delivery. There was no arguments from the seller just agreed to the refund so cant complain about that.

Cheers Marcus but she has Steve Shaws old viper vest. The chest rig was for her........................................................................my PMC loadout! :ph34r:
