When you answer a question, please quote (this will make sure the person gets a notification and they can click on it to open your answer straight away and it also lets people answer questions from a while ago if there have been new questions since then) the question and reply in blue writing so we know it's an answer.

 

If you feel a question simply cannot be answered in one brief post, or is open for a lot of debate, create a topic to discuss it, and link the topic in your answer so everyone can find it.

I've bought loads from Apextac. Shipping isn't usually too slow on small parts. I have the rail mounted one and it works OK but the round constant on/off can be a bit stiff to use. They sell the switch without the tail cap.

Barring the usual differences in build tolerances that should work fine. Your receiver is still basically an M4....

When you say "pin" which bit exactly do you mean?

Yes, screw. That's what I thought. You should be able to get a pack of small screws from Halfrauds or a half decent hardware shop for not a lot of money!

Going for an FSB russian style load out what optics do you guys think I should run?

 

Eotech style holographics seem to be the usual sights for AK104's in Spetznaz/FSB.

I have the same model of Crono and got it from the same place as you linked to :D

 

Crono'd my rifle @ landwarrior a couple of  weeks ago,  then right after crono'd with the Xcortech.  My Xcortech was only about 3fps high compared to the SKAN crono Landwarrior use.

Dropped it twice and it has survived unharmed :rolleyes:.

 

HTH

So I bought an iMax B6 charger but didn't realise it didn't come with the power supply. The manual says to use a 60W switching power supply but trying to find one on google gives me a lot of crap.

 

Who has a B6 and what power supply do you use?

I have just brought a TM REcoil and I was wondering what weight and Brand BB's people recommend for the TM NGRS Rifles at the moment I am using G & G PSBP in my ICS M4.

 

Thanks in Advance

I mainly use ASG Blaster 0.25g and 0.28g.  Quality is consistant and well priced.

Question regarding BDU's?

What's the sizing like is a 32 in Bdu bottoms the same as a 32 in jeans?

No, they measure in centimetres. 180/112 would be 180cm tall(roughly 6ft) and the 112 would be chest measurement in centimetres.

This will help you.

 

 

Depends, if you're buying UK/EU surplus then what @Prisce says holds true. If you're buying from someone like Military 1st or what have you then yes, if it says "waist 32" then it'll be 32 inches same as you get for jeans. Be aware though that some far eastern suppliers have "asian cut" garments which are often too slim fitting for the European frame!
