Ha. I got the idea from trying to bring a BASR and AEG into the field on straps, and could not do it easily. Haven’t actually started building the  mount, but I know what I’m buying and how it’s going to go together. Just need to get the WAS OD Plate Carrier and I’ll begin the putting together.

 Upload a picture so I can see what the finish product looks like. I know it can work. Look at this guy having a blast:

Where can I get an authentic Maple Leaf 6.01 Precision Inner Barrel for GBB 540mm?

 

The  stores that pop up on google look shabby to me...

If you're planning to do that magnet mod to a WE EBR, think again, you'd need the kind of magnet needed to pick up scrap cars to hold the weight of one of those things!

Anyone know where i can get a longer etiny ptw ecu to mosfet cable? As you can see I'm going to have to extend it and the motor wires to get my stock to fit.

 

 

Tackleberry (systema-ptw.com) could sort that relatively easily, though he's not cheap and his turnaround time is slow. 

 

Can the MOSFET not go inside the buffer?  That's where it's gone on every systema I've ever worked on, not sure about the full stock models though, they're a bit niche!

 Was thinking of something like a magnetic hook for the buttstock

Just use a sling.  If you're spending £5-600+ on a gun which is made of pot metal (and WILL break if you drop it on something hard) why would you trust it to a magnet?

 

More to the point, why would you buy a WE EBR, they're bloody awful.

Unfortunately the solid stock comes with this stubby stock tube that has a threaded hole for a long screw that then attaches the stock (see pic). No choice but to extend the wires or go for a different stock.

If you’re halfway handy with a soldering iron you could extend those wires pretty easily. Failing that just send it all off to Tackleberry and have it done professionally.

I'm a casino electronics engineer by trade so no problem doing the motor wires. It's the thin data wire that I'd rather replace with a longer one. I could extend it but it wouldn't be as strong. 

[jcheeseright]

Ahh yeah, the 4in1 cable.  If you’re not down to extend/replace that yourself then I’m not sure you’ve got any other option than getting someone to replace it with a purpose made loom.

 

Give it a go though, etiny MOSFETs aren’t really that expensive to replace (in systema terms at least) if you f*ck it up.

Is there a website or blog where I can see new upcoming airsoft guns?

What do you call the circled part of the picture?

Also, are there any rail accessories where the bottom and upper part of the rail are btoh the circled thing?

The whole thing is an adaptor or a riser mount (depending on the type of rails)

 

They are part of a rail system

The top is the male end of the rail mount

The bottom is the female end of the rail mount, and features the clamping system 

 

They could be the same type of rail system on top/bottom or they could be different rail systems 

 

 

Are you asking what it is (as in the female end/clamp) or what type of rail system - eg Weaver/picatinny/dove tail etc

No, I just didn't know about the male and female terminology so I was curious what it was called. Thank you for explaining in detail!

Do you need radios in airsoft?

No

But they can be used

as above, if your on your own, no need

I use them with my brother and soon his mate, can be useful at times but most of our chatter is where we are or when we are heading off for lunch!  

[simonh]

Possibly more useful outdoors/Non CQB but certainly not essential.

No
It's much easier to ask everyone for every bit of info prior to going without even knowing whether you will enjoy the sport long enough to make purchases worthwhile. 

What's the thing they say about the noobs who dived headfirst into buying without playing? All the gear and no idea? lol

Is there an faq forum I can look at for new people or should I just ask all my questions here?

Best thing is to read the tutorials/guides in the beginners section first perhaps

In case it fails to display in my sig....

New players - please - pretty please read the guides first in New Players Section

An absolute must read is this one:

http://www.airsoft-forums.co.uk/index.php/topic/17294-ians-guide-to-noobism-on-a-tight-budget/

&

http://www.airsoft-forums.co.uk/index.php/topic/30038-budget-of-ll-lll-what-gun-to-choose/#entry232449

plus a search is less keystrokes that creating same ol' new posts again & again - what to buy etc....

 

Most stuff will be covered I would say, LOADS of info, wish I found this before

(made a few bad first purchases and wotnot - could have avoided that if I read up first)

 

Glance over the guides if you still have a question then ask away sir

PS - welcome to the forum
