The 'What have you just bought' Thread

[Monty]

Bought some shims, a piston piston head and a spring guide.

Only to realise that I cannot put a gearbox back together.

What's your issue?

What's your issue?

Bloody trigger keeps popping out every chance it gets. Same with the anti reversal latch.

Ah yeah, that usually pisses me off too. I put the box together without the trigger, which allows me to keep the anti-reversal latch in place enough that i can use something like a bent paper clip or a thin sliver of steel which I have made into a specialised tool for really awkward gearboxes, to poke it into the right hand half of the shell. Once it's all together, I prise it open just enough to get first the left side, then the right of the trigger mech in there - bit more poking and everything goes in the holes properly eventually. You just have to make sure you hold the halves together tightly so nothing slips any further than can be helped.

That is for V3 gearboxes anyway. Dunno about others much, except the M14 box looks a doddle to reassemble.

V2 gearbox triggers make me want to shoot myself in the head.

Just been to get some DPM trousers to match the combat jacket I was given on friday, means I won't have to borrow overalls tomorrow from Skirmish.

Tried on multiple pairs of German Paras,my deformed fcuking feet hated them. So I got some dirt cheap Brit Pro boots,broken in after a tour in Afghanistan. Super comfortable for me and the quality looks really good. Jammed some Sorbothane insoles into them to absorb shock and going to roughen up the soles a bit for more grip. Should serve for quite a while.

In any case I can keep it for my next loadout.

Whats wrong with it? If you think it's chipped a bit off at the front, it's like that on purpose to fit on a QD suppressor

cant tell ive never handled an m4 much can you. infact the only one ive used was a rental one with most of the flash hider broken off...in that case this will be something im gonna be changing on the gun. after i get the optional bits on it that i do want( sights grip and bayonet come first though)

 

[Suzuki Yamamoto]

If it looks like that, it's fine.

I got a suppressor to replace mine anyway as I have the same rifle.

 

[PhillipR34]

My new Noveske rail system and Magpul sights

 

[PT247]

just had my two new pistols delivered. The new ones are the two top left

 

[jcheeseright]

a high cap for my HK416.

Those of you who know me will see this as some kind of crazy shit but I've been inspired by ed's fun times with noob kit videos. I can't bring myself to buy a G&G combat machine when I've got a £600 gun sat in a case, so I figured I'd just buy a high cap for that gun... and a bag of BBs in a pocket.

Will see how it pans out on sunday!
