bought from the forum a S&T Japanese Type 64 rifle to go along with my Type 89's. Just waiting for TM to get around to releasing a Type 20.

I very nearly made an offer on it too.

Latest purchase is a VFC M723 with the bits to make it a Delta ("Gordy") carbine.  Need to decide whether to rattle can it or not (I'm tipping towards a paint job).

How do you like it? I'm really tempted by one of these.

Speaking of M723’s….

Need to learn the art of taping things.

Do it! I've only used it once, but so far really enjoying it. Even with the suppressor it feels lighter and handier than my other AR15s (MK18, CQBR, 14" URGI), and the kick is impressive (and loud) on green gas.

 

There are caveats however. Had to buy a tool to get the hand guard off because the retention spring is so tight. Had a nightmare getting the barrel nut off too, because VFC love using loads of locktite. Then finally had to replace the hop unit and inner barrel because they'd locktite'd the hop screws and I stripped the head off one of them, so it now has a unicorn inner barrel and 4uad hop and nub.

At least when I've seen similar camo stuff on the field, it tends to be very plasticky and weirdly sticks out more.

 

Honestly scrim netting and some jjute gets you most of the way. Just gotta break up the outline.

 

So much this. A lot of these pre-made ghillies, especially the cheaper ones, catch the light weirdly and stick out like a sore thumb to anyone who knows what to look for.

 

One option I tend to use is a £5 OD scrim net, secured with elastic hair bands that I then also use to tuck natural foliage in. Doesn't need much natural foliage, but a little natural foliage works wonders for concealment.

 

The other option I use is an SCG pre-made rifle wrap. If you really want something pre-made, then these are good, but double the price of what you were looking at:

Personally, I'm enjoying the resurgence of "optic on carry handle" that seems to be floating round
