Depends on your budget.

 

http://www.uktactical.com/ and http://www.military1st.co.uk/ are good, but wait for sales on stuff. If you want decent reproductions of carriers and pouches, try Flyye (they're a brand/manufacturer) - best place to buy them is from AliExpress, DHGate or http://store.specwarfare.com

 

For issued kit eBay is usually your best bet as http://www.flecktarn.co.uk/ for new kit used by various militaries.

 

Honestly though the best prices are always gained by someone who Googles for 15 minutes and picks the best option.

 

Edit

Also I didn't read your question properly but luckily Jedi did. Sorry.

Lowa are a decent brand, I have had them in the past. They are gore-tex. UK Tactical have 10% off until midnight tonight.

 

5.11 make some good kit, no idea on their footwear. I noted that the boots had two drain holes (like jungle boots) which will let water in and out again. Less ideal for winter.

 

Of the two I would get the Lowa ones.

anyone know of a UK supplier of G&P lipo's, i am specifically after the AK (long and thin type) type in both 7.4v and 11.1v flavours

[proffrink]

Redwolf do them I think.

[sp00n]

Redwolf do them I think.

The Uk site is out of stock of one or both I think

[proffrink]

Oh, that sucks. Is there no way you can get component shop to make you one in the correct dimensions?

[sp00n]

I don't think so, they don't do one that's thin enough.

 

The g&p is 15mm x 10mm x 165mm

Are outer barrel lengths measured the same as inner barrels, if I buy an outer and inner claiming the same length, will, once fitted into the Hop and the rifle the front end of both line up?

[Mr Monkey Nuts]

No because a little bit will extend past the start of the barrel into the hop unit.

But it's not the end of the world. an inch here or there would not make a jot of difference. Personally I have a habit of dunking my muzzle in the dirt so keeping the barrel slightly recessed is a good think imo.

[Sacarathe]

So, a 150mm outer barrel and inner barrel will leave the inner shorter by around 5mm?

 

I'm looking to build an M4 pistol.

[Mr Monkey Nuts]

The most accurate way is to put a longer barrel in the hop up, and mark it with penxil and measure it.

[Sacarathe]

Yeah at the moment, I'm bouncing around what to do. My current gun has 27.5cm inner flush with the outer, worried if I started to muck with this I could need deep pockets to match the outer to the inner. I'm surprised there is not a standardised resource for stuff like this. G&P produce so many outer barrels, but I can't find any way to determine which inners go with them at different lengths. Not that I have a G&P receiver.

I've got a Grip Pod that's got Krylon type paint on it, is Fairy Power Spray the best way to remove it or would I be better off lightly sanding it and then respraying it black?

Make sure it's acetone nail varnish remover, won't effect any plastic part, you can pick up a cheap bottle at boots etc for about £1

Acetone dissolves ABS which is the plastic of the airsoft guns.

[AJWest]

tesco nail varnish remover and their cheap microfibre cloths works everytime for me
