Two latest addition to my little arsenal.

Not had a pistol in a long time but as I'll have to play to MED rules I needed one.

 

Had 3 scopes laying around from old rifles but they are all dove tail fitment so have to order picatinny ones now before I can doll up the striker.

Been messing about with ideas for my ics mars sbr after getting bored with the plain 'stock' look.

Nicked the peq battery box and afg off of my kwa erg and a cheap nasty light I had kicking about. Along with a big dragon qd suppressor.

Thoughts or suggestions welcome as I'm not 100% sure on the afg and think something light a surefire one light would be better

Any modification needed to fit the magpul front end? I am already looking at Midwest industries Mlok for mine. 

Also any more pics of the front sight mod. Sounds interesting. 

Sorry for being a pain lol

Zero mods for the Magpul front end...drops straight on! Guess the Cyma must be 1:1 size on that at least!

Front sight mod below - 1mm x 6mm tritium vial from a fishing shop online. Simply clean the front post with alcohol wipe then very carefully super glue the vial on 😁

 Nice, thank you.

     Boneyard pulse rifle stripped , fixed and now weathered . I think it may need more “distressing” .

     And I need a couple more short mags .

 

[Cromulon1994]

Top one is an Escort with a singlepoint and a tracer unit hidden in the foam filled moderator, bottom one is an old Tokyo Marui (non high cycle)

They both take the same mags which is a bonus.

Start of a new project - FBI HRT themed M4:

• KSC RM4 (rare in the UK, has HK serial no.)

• Replica ScalarWorks BUIS
• Pistol Grip / Stock sprayed OD

To do:

• Engrave trades on the receiver set
• Cerakote receiver set
• Gate MERF 3.2 to be installed

All done with new scope on .

Freely admit I really REALLY don’t like ‘modernised’ SLR/FAL 7.62 type guns but must say that does look sweet as a nut ! Very nicely done bud 👍

This one is very much half done, eventually I’ll get around to sourcing the parts needed to get carry handle transplanted onto an MWS upper. I’ve landed at a point where I kinda of like it with a weird old meets new thing going on, though it’s very much destined for that Blood Diamond inspired setup.
 

Need to decide if the ranger band at the front gets swapped out for sniper tape, and likely get less shit at doing things with paracord… aaaaand figure out if I’m going to throw any paint at it 🤷🏻‍♂️.

 

My MWS in it’s current state.

Given the trend for carry handles that's floating around atm it's something I've put some thinking time in to and it is the case that if you're not mounting a light/laser or only a light and no laser then you really don't need a freefloat handguard or indeed even a non-freefloat with pic, keymod or M-LOK.  Especially with a high optics mount where the fixed front iron isn't getting in the way; though you do have 2 sets of irons now ofc lol.  Freefloat is always nice on a firearm for shooting smaller things at farther distances but still not the end of the world and obviously makes no difference in airsoft.. maybe slightly to accuracy if you absolutely crank in to a wall/barricade but not to precision.

 

Would have to say that sort of config is pretty close to being about as practical and efficient as I'd ever want for airsoft indoors while still looking like something that would actually work in any sense of 'reasonable' as a firearm.

My MWS

I might end up keeping this one. It's in remarkable condition.

Aye, as I imagine said trend is largely down to folks around my age (30-40) having hankerings for RIFs (or firearms depending on where you’re based/what’s available to you) that closer match those which most took their fancy in various media growing up.

 

That pondering aside, alongside liking the look of carry handles I’ve been really enjoying the height of the Unity mount… only downside being I’m not wild on how the Unity mount looks. At least not on with the various bits thrown on this. Looks far less out of place with your typical modern rails, at least IMO. And FWIW I’ve actually removed the irons from the Unity mount (front and rear) because despite the fact I don’t use them much… ohh boy was that headache inducing on the odd occasion I got to line them up.

 

But yeah, purely from aesthetics I want a carry handle on there at some point… but I’ll certainly enjoy it as is until I can be arsed to source parts.

I was thinking with this bit of a resurgence in ‘old school’ carrying handles and plastic forends you can’t help but wonder how long it’ll be before you start to see the classic ‘SWAT’ AR’s reappearing on the scene ? Not that I’d object as it is my all time favorite set up for an M4 .

That mount reminds me of a fucking giraffe.

But anyway, iron sights are the best thing ever for Airsoft. Can't stress that enough. Carryhandles especially as they also give something to....well....carry the gun and they look good

I’ll take a mount that looks like a giraffe if it means a more comfortable shooting position any day of the week.

I very much tend to land on function over fashion these days when it comes to attachments (and gear tbf) especially stuff that can take some of the burden off my neck, wrist and shoulders… those specifically because of previous injuries which still niggle at the tail end of game days. The main aches largely coming from hunching over to get a decent sight picture I suspect, it was definitely weird to adjust to at first but I’m not sure I could comfortably go back to absolute or lower 1/3 (the latter being my preference) at this point in time.

 

My current all-time comfy height being a T1 repro on a Zenitco B-18 on an AKSU, just seems to match my proportions perfectly… but I say all this while aware that optics/optic height is very much a personal preference (and weirdly something I don’t think folks play around with enough to even realise how much more comfortable it could be).

 

Speaking of which, finally got around to throwing a butt pad on the CAR stock… definitely an improvement in my case.

Think most of my guns I run with some kind of optic except my really ‘old school’ AK’s/L1A1/MP5 but to be honest unless I’m taking a VERY carful aimed shot near all my shots are take either with my irons or by instinct ! 🤦‍♂️

Could definitely live with that.  Been wanting to do a Blood Diamond build for a while. Old school. Is definitely cool

Few finishing touches I want to make, but got myself a genuine surplus HK MP5 sling

Once you get your head around how it works the real MP5 slings are really nice to use , ive got one on my A5 .👍

Totally. Just a shame the mag well sling clip on the Cyma receiver isn't that sturdy

[Hellfish]

Finally got the torch/pressure pad set up on this stubby little bitch .... not pretty, but functional.

Hilarious DMR for hilarious games.

 

Far from its final form, I'm still missing a TTI trigger (red), TTI charging handle with external fire selector (red), Hadron "bouncer" short stroke kit and a CowCow G18 hammer set.

And maybe a Stalker TDC because the Mamba's window is narrower than the stock one, which makes adjusting the hop a bit of a pain.

As of now the only internal modification I've done is a 60° Maple Leaf Decepticon rubber and I-Key.

 

Performance wise it's stupid, 60m range on 0.3s at just about 1J of energy, great consistency (say 5" groupings) and despite the optic being 1kg alone, it's still super lightweight.

(also one of the screws on the grip is missing, it actually stripped itself to all fuck for no reason)
