Jayjay Posted November 6, 2017 Share Posted November 6, 2017 Well.. I missed a lot with 1 day away from the foruns. I am looking for a different lens protector for the T1 and was looking down the killflash route. However, I needed a protector like this regardless for my Elcan LDS replica which really doesn't seem to have another solution and already has a tiny chip in it from where it was hit. I will likely be purchasing a kill flash or what JCheeseright linked in the near future. Though I am also looking at getting a magnifier, which I'm stumped on how to protect when it's not sat behind the T1... On another note. My 4 mags and bugger tube arrived today. EPGC and Rail covers are on there way. Just struggling to find a PTS MOE CTR stock in tan anywhere. That being said I haven't looked outside of my 4/5 usual retailers.

Generally they come with flip up covers which you can put down when you flip it to the side. Generally I've found them to be pretty useless. They aren't solid enough to be accurate and are too dark to see targets properly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

clumpyedge Posted November 7, 2017 Share Posted November 7, 2017 17 hours ago, CKinnerley said: Does the fine print of that warranty specifically state that the company will cover damage in use (from an external source vs a failure in materials or workmanship)? Because that would be a very rare thing it has to be said; generally warranties explicitly say they don't cover that kind of thing. I'm not 100% but the optics we have had that have been shot out they have replaced with no bother at all. "Our VIP warranty is about you, not us. It's about taking care of you after the sale.

Supporters TheFull9 Posted November 7, 2017 Supporters Share Posted November 7, 2017 That's good of them for sure, but I still wouldn't risk it myself I have to say. Only takes one tiny policy wording change and you're up the creek next time you have a lens shot (and the bigger and more successful brands get the less they tend to give a s**t about the end user). Costs bugger all to get protectors for these things, might as well save the down time having to post it back to my mind, but each to their own.

clumpyedge Posted November 8, 2017 Share Posted November 8, 2017 So not much for me recently Magpul MS3 Sling in Ranger Green Magpul MOE forgrip (I like that Magpul include a little section of rail so the grip can be utilized on other rail platforms other than picatinny) I'm not much for doing reviews but the UF Pro strikers I bought a week or so back are easily the most comfy pair of combat trousers I have ever owned!

Monkman Posted November 10, 2017 Share Posted November 10, 2017 Tokyo Marui HK45 Tactical, IMI Retention holster, Nuprol Fast Mag loader (No more cramp in index finger loading 10xmags over and over), Classic Army M203 to fit onto my new(ish) Nuprol Delta Sopmod. (M203 comes Monday) and from America a Wide-I magnetic anti-fog wiper. **Found that my IMI retention holster was too tight for my TM HK45, so after a little googling...boiled the holster in a pan for a min or two, as the polymer started to soften, squeezed the gun in and now fits perfectly and fully locks.

Guest Posted November 10, 2017 Share Posted November 10, 2017 Swapped a butt tube for a stupidly powerful laser that will now be pressed into service popping balloons, also bought a new TM Hi-Capa to replace the one I gave my dad.

Moderators djben9 Posted November 10, 2017 Moderators Share Posted November 10, 2017 Second LEDlenser7.2 with pressure pad and gun mount.... runs on AAA so easy to replace instead of stock up on the CR123 batteries which aren’t cheap....and bright enough for my use.... will still use my other ones though....every AEG needs a light Few 30mm mounts from Ant Supplies for it to fit to rails in offset and low style .... yeah the lenser is a chunky mofo molle clip to clip gun to other side of rig when using pistol... really trying not to spend so my excuse is torch has many needs when not on gun!!....keeps wife happy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skara Posted November 11, 2017 Share Posted November 11, 2017 Is that nuprol speedloader thingy decent? I don't really want to drop 60+shipping on the gucci one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monkman Posted November 12, 2017 Share Posted November 12, 2017 Speedloader seems to work ok, very plasticky....I have nuprol midcap polymer mags and they lock in fine,, takes about 10 cranks to fill up the 120rnd mag and the loader holds 1000 bbs.. Though when you take the mag out, with gentle shaking bbs will drop out of the speedloader. So its best to turn it upside down after each mag fill. Still good though....for £24. Not sure on how durable it will be in the long run though, but its better than loading by hand all day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jayjay Posted November 15, 2017 Share Posted November 15, 2017 Delivered 4x GHK GMAGs PTS EPG-C (need a longer screw to fit) PTS Ergo Rail Covers GHK Buffer Tube GHK 12" Carbine Conversion Kit Adjustable Nozzle PTS Griffin M4SD Linear Flash Hider PTS Griffin M4SDII Suppressor Still to come... 2-4x GHK GMAGs Kill Flash for T1 I've put the stock on hold for now. MOE stocks seem to be discontinued. PTS EPS stock seems to fat and would look/feel horrendous given how slim this is. I was considering the PTS Ergo F93 Stock, but its a bit on the expensive side. May get a torch or laser module to go on as well, we'll see. Monkman 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
