As long as it isn’t defined as an offensive weapon (eg any fixed blade knife, or any type knife with a blade longer than 3.5” in public without good reason), you’re fine.

3" rather than 3 1/2"

I stand corrected. I used to like pissing my policeman brother off by carting at least ten knives at once.

 

He got VERY upset when I pointed  out the legislation that said they were no more offensive weapons than a bag of apples 🤣

Version 2 of my pkm scope mount. Little on the high side right now but its solid and it works and it cost me a total of £8. Needs shortening and blackening.

Back to making hpa hi caps!

Long time since ive done these (used to do them for WE) but now have a VFC 416 and decided to give it a go!

[HuttArmouries]

Shortened it slightly and got it nicely fitted to the gun. Need to properly paint it though.

417 drum adapter v3b is good enough to show pics of. v2 and v3 were based off the Angel Customs drum, instead of the A&K SR-25 drum that v1 used, as that drum apparently sucks, and neither lasted through a single game day. v3c will likely be the final version, I just gotta make a little more room for the rear of the adapter to drop down. Not gonna be a big enough change for a v4. Three part, requires a donor AC M4 adapter, two M3x25mm bolts, one M3x14mm bolt, and three M3 square nuts. Complete reversible back to M4 adapter, so no wasted parts. You’re just using the sliding door, BB retention wedge, and spring. Since then I printed a low infill v3c and it fit, so now I have the final prototype of the two inner parts printing, and if those are all good then we will have a finished version.

Finished the stock mod for my ICS CQR 'Orion'

 

Fits battery size H21.5 L115 W34mm

What I forgot to take a picture of is that you need to chop about 3 inches off the buffer tube. The stock is still completely stable without it. I had to get my black n' decker out for that.

Nothing too epic just had an idea to avoid loosing mags from pistols . Took the grips off sanded the base edge down a bit then cut a piece of Velcro to fit around the screw raiser back together trim the Velcro to correct size and job done ! 👍

Made a quick tracer cover for the Acetech Blaster.

Fits into the vfc 416a5 handguard nicely

I love some of the ideas, skills  & ingenuity 

[HuttArmouries]

So in a job lot of bits a while ago I gotna hfc mauser carbine with no furniture. After some tweaking and sourcing a mag it works well and now im building a stock and handguard for it. This is the progress so far.

Does anyone know if someone makes airsoft gun cabinets in the Manchester area 👍

There’s no legal requirement to lock them away but if you feel it is necessary then just get yourself a fairly sturdy short wardrobe and a hasp&staple so you can padlock it ? 

[SeniorSpaz87]

After my 417 drum design, I decided to make a little something else. Anyone wanna take a guess at the finer details? Very much still a WIP. This thing took 13 hours to print at only 30% infill - 100% would take over 25 hours. I still need to do a bit of detailing, add the bottom cutouts and bolt hole, slightly reduce the internal cavity, add the retainer bolt and nut holes, and as I am likely to split these in half for future printing ill have to model that and do the bolt and nut holes for that part too.

Replaced the sling attachment on my F2000 with a couple of straps from this

 

and all the securing sliders, plus a couple of metal D-rings, to make this

 

 

... which seems to be working pretty well.   I originally had the d-rings at the top of the stock, but actually that made the sling get in the way when shouldering the gun, so I re-jigged it to the current position.
Because of the extra webbing inserted into the buckles to support the d-rings, the sling slots in the stock don't seem to be under undue pressure, so I'm not afraid of the plastic struts breaking.    And an added bonus is I don't need to use the hex bolt to keep the butt plate on now, so battery changes will be easier.

 

For an added Brucie-bonus, it also looks a lot more like the BF4 setup (in spirit, at least)

That's a neat idea, though I'm wondering how you're losing mags? The only way it's happened to me in the past is from using certain holsters.

I’ve only lost 2 mags in over 20yrs of playing but both where from ‘soft’ holsters and I’ve noticed I seem to be drifting more towards those type of holsters again as apposed to molded Kydex ones so thought I’d get ahead of the curve for once ?🤔

[Shamal]

It's a good idea but I would hate that the grips don't sit nice and flat to the frame.🤔

They do sit flush , that’s why I sanded barely half a mil off the bottom edge of the grips . 
Would have driven me mental if their had been a gap no matter how small ! 🤯 .

@Druid799 Nice innovative touch to solve a unique problem, well done. I love modding things that suit me and solve niggling issues I have that doesn't bother others. Done a few to my MWS to stop the slight play that some parts have (upper and lower receiver for example). No real functional reason, I just feel better finding an easy fix for them 😁. Great work.

I was going to say that sounds like a holster issue to me.

Probably is (does sound like it) hence mod’ed the gun as I can’t do much to the holster .

I went the other way and have stuck with kydex holsters. Oh, and using a different pistol!
