Does anyone know if someone makes airsoft gun cabinets in the Manchester area ?

There’s no legal requirement to lock them away but if you feel it is necessary then just get yourself a fairly sturdy short wardrobe and a hasp&staple so you can padlock it ? 

 
After my 417 drum design, I decided to make a little something else. Anyone wanna take a guess at the finer details? Very much still a WIP. This thing took 13 hours to print at only 30% infill - 100% would take over 25 hours. I still need to do a bit of detailing, add the bottom cutouts and bolt hole, slightly reduce the internal cavity, add the retainer bolt and nut holes, and as I am likely to split these in half for future printing ill have to model that and do the bolt and nut holes for that part too.

Replaced the sling attachment on my F2000 with a couple of straps from this

and all the securing sliders, plus a couple of metal D-rings, to make this

... which seems to be working pretty well.   I originally had the d-rings at the top of the stock, but actually that made the sling get in the way when shouldering the gun, so I re-jigged it to the current position.
Because of the extra webbing inserted into the buckles to support the d-rings, the sling slots in the stock don't seem to be under undue pressure, so I'm not afraid of the plastic struts breaking.    And an added bonus is I don't need to use the hex bolt to keep the butt plate on now, so battery changes will be easier.

For an added Brucie-bonus, it also looks a lot more like the BF4 setup (in spirit, at least)

Nothing too epic just had an idea to avoid loosing mags from pistols . Took the grips off sanded the base edge down a bit then cut a piece of Velcro to fit around the screw raiser back together trim the Velcro to correct size and job done ! ?

That's a neat idea, though I'm wondering how you're losing mags? The only way it's happened to me in the past is from using certain holsters.

I’ve only lost 2 mags in over 20yrs of playing but both where from ‘soft’ holsters and I’ve noticed I seem to be drifting more towards those type of holsters again as apposed to molded Kydex ones so thought I’d get ahead of the curve for once ??

 
It's a good idea but I would hate that the grips don't sit nice and flat to the frame.?

They do sit flush , that’s why I sanded barely half a mil off the bottom edge of the grips . 
Would have driven me mental if their had been a gap no matter how small ! ? .

@Druid799 Nice innovative touch to solve a unique problem, well done. I love modding things that suit me and solve niggling issues I have that doesn't bother others. Done a few to my MWS to stop the slight play that some parts have (upper and lower receiver for example). No real functional reason, I just feel better finding an easy fix for them ?. Great work.

I was going to say that sounds like a holster issue to me.

 
Probably is (does sound like it) hence mod’ed the gun as I can’t do much to the holster .


I went the other way and have stuck with kydex holsters. Oh, and using a different pistol! :D

 
Since im on a bit of a mag making spree here is another. 42rd aug mag for my hbar (wip)  two mags epoxied together with steel reenforcement. Needs some cleaning up and finishing but it feeds. New pin at the top as the top internal chunk is now separate from the bottom. It is a high cap as I intend to use this as an lmg. Might make midcap ones down the road.

Simple bit of spare velcro to expand the chi-com.  Just needs 10 years of being dragged through the woods to look the part.
Is the Velcro stitched or the sticky backed stuff ? If it’s the sticky then be aware when your playing the heat from your body will loosen the adhesive bond on to the fabric and I’m afraid it will come adrift .
