Just got back from a very exhausting weekend of living history and battle re-enactment at a little known place called Waterloo. Very satisfying sitting around a campfire, drinking cherry beer, in the orchard of Hougoumont farm. Just got to clean all the mud and rust off my kit for another event this weekend near Salisbury.

There was not 3,000 of us, more like 900, but I am just about in 1 of the pictures firing a very impressive British volley :)

BACK FROM THE DEAD. POW.   Over the last months at work, I've had a customer who refuses to pay his bill (I work at a storage center). Increasingly, he's been a nob to me, despite my best efforts to

I can top that. I found 10p in my jacket pocket.   Sounds good. Haven't seen any of them but sounds like a good opportunity. Maybe sleep with the director and you'll get a full time part, before he

had a epic secondaries day at LAC and bought a brand-spanking new DE M56DL for £35 :D:D:D:D:D:D

Hah, good luck getting .20s through that! Although I may have just had a slightly lemon-shaped shotgun- idk, it stung like a biatch when loaded with .12s ;)

Why? i had 0.25 blaster through it all day without any major problems ... they were a little heavy for the hop though, so will give it a go with 0.2's next time

Yup, mine was a lemon then :D

Bloody JBBG- well, I was about 13 when I asked for it for xmas. And the first one they sent didn't pump, and I had to wait 'til mid January for the replacement, which didn't fire 0.2s properly.

 

Ah well :)

Yeah I also have lots of Allen keys, but the bolt on the stock tube needs an abnormally long torx wrench to tighten.

It wouldn't be a bad gun if it came in a 2tone colour that wasn't vomit-worthy orange :)

Tbh you've all had the same luck with DE that I have had with my TM shotgun.

 

Although I only paid 150 for it so I'm still happy. Now to just buy a working one and transfer the stock :P

It's a damn shame the Tm shotties don't have spare parts availability,sure they could last a good decade or so with care with it would be nice having the the confidence that if you break something you don;t have to buy a new gun.

 

Anyway,parkour in a KLMK is fun ;)

 

Though there were a few moments when I almost broke me leg,I might get into it a bit more seriously.
