The 'What have you just bought' Thread

Wonder if they'd mind us harvesting the Identify Your Rifle page. Just in case they disappear of course.

It'll already be cached by Google and Wayback Machine so I wouldn't bother.

Well, yeah, but easier to find if it's in our "Guides" section, with an appropriate thank you and link to the original of course - we wont know unless you ask, Sacarathe, and you can only get told no, not hunted down and shot in the bell end...

OK, the latter is a remote possibility, but you can always blame Sitting Duck!

2 x 32GB Micro SD / SDHC Class 10 w/ Adapter - £2.90 each posted ~ fleabay (for the camera I bought earlier)

(I ended up bidding on a few of these starting @1p but after losing to people paying over the "Buy It Now" price several times I decided to just buy [them] now myself.)

Well I was going with "do you think they would mind" not "do you think they would mind if asked".

Check the "Share a Bargain" thread for uktactical.com discount codes.

Proffrink is right though - ASPUK are more expensive than airsoftpro.cz for exactly the same kit even including the shipping from the Czech Republic (which is part of the EU so you pay no VAT or import tax). But Darren is a good bloke and I'm guessing that if you can afford to buy 2 BASR's on the chance that 1 will be a lemon, rather than send it/them back until you get a decent one, you're not short of a few bob, so it's good that you're supporting the great resource that the whole ASPUK website is for UK airsoft snipers...

My apologies.( I have now edited my post). I have bought the parts from the airsoft pro cz website but thought if I mentioned the Aspuk name folk would know exactly what I've got, which is very ignorant of me. I have spent hundreds with Aspuk in the past and the last time that I did buy something from there it was Darren's name on the Paypal receipt. The reasons why I have bought these parts from the CZ site is because 1) They are cheaper by a fair amount and 2) I like to try new shops out to see if they are worth using in the future. I would love to buy all my stuff from the UK but some parts are simply cheaper from overseas. The scope, bb's and paints are from airsoftzone in the UK and they have always had the highest customer service so I use those where I can.

Thank you Ian_Gere, for throwing these links up.

- I had found these before but the holsters out of stock and I'm struggling to find any others that are of similar quality. Many thanks anyhow.

My point on this is if we ever need to mirror it here when/if it goes down then someone will already have a copy.

Bought myself a G&G Wildhog 7" - Needed a backup/Lender gun, it was cheap and reliable enough - the new mosfet + microswitch trigger is pretty damn impressive for a stock rifle.

Incidentally, was testing different high cap type mags in it, if you use Lonex flash mags you're going to need a new hop unit, won't feed at all.

$£^%$*£&$T*^£$*^£%$*^£$... damnit, i need one... *sigh, i understand about the frame, but as I am going to now be getting one, why the frame? And anything you suggest adding to it in terms of upgrades? id rather make one purchase and pretend it didn't happen...

from the research I did, the weak point is just the barrel, it seems they have a tendency of shredding under higher pressure, so the steel outer barrel prevents this from happening, there are also tales of the slide exploding back, but most of these did the "upgrade" to the guarder poly frame, which everyone agrees is crap, the inner frame is just a bit of piece of mind on my part and shouldn't be needed.

big thing however is that it requires slightly more TLC than the average GBB, that's offset by the ease with which it strips, but just something you should be aware of.

and also to make sure, the magazines are huge, do not expect any of your current pouches to hold them.

I will be giving a skirmish review once it arrives, prior to upgrades and after to see whether they affect the gun too much.

Worse part is to keep the illusion up for the youngins will only get to mess with the glock for now :'(

Yeah, I didn't know that either. Just recently bought a 100% PDI spring that feels weak as water! I think it may end up being useful though because I had to fit an old shotgun spring into my tac-AK after fitting a TBB, O-ring air seal nozzle, and double O-ring piston head - I forget what the FPS was with an M100 spring after that but it was surprisingly high.

Damn ASG springs are strong, good job am not able to play this weekend as it is currently rather hot.... 565 fps with an M150!!!

Lonex M140 ordered. Glad it is a piece of cake to change the bloody spring in the SRS.
