The 'What have you just bought' Thread

I am genuinely doing the exact same thing at the moment. Shamefully (to others) more excited about getting the license than the move. 

 

Edit. Do you know what gun you are buying first? I am on a low budget and in a predicament between a new ATA sp or something second hand. I normally don't like buying second hand but...a good second hand gun could still last longer than the ATA. 🤔

 

Buy something decent second hand, my Laurona was cheap and cheerful, there’s very little to go wrong with an O/U anyway

You’re giving me ideas

[Jayjay]

I'm looking semi auto and have a fair budget. I'm looking at Franchi Affinity or Benelli M2 at the minute.

 

Also in a luxury position where a fair few colleagues of mine shoot and have plenty of guns for me to try.

Without a specialist firearms certificate, in the UK we can’t have shotguns with removable mags or semi’s that take  more than 3 cartridges, otherwise I’d have an Fostech Origin 12 by now ha ha

Just finished the Layaway on my Elite Force MP7.

So far, first impressions are good! Battery space is obviously small in the extreme, mags are anout $30, or $35 at the local shop (£25).

ROF clocks in at roughly 28 RPS, or 1,680 RPM (Nearly double that of the Real version, 960 RPM) haven’t officially chrono’d it as of yet, but the Shop owner mentioned that the samples they did chrono were hotter than field limits, which are 350FPS (106-ish M/S), so my guess is 360FPS (Ghett-stimate is 109 M/S?) or thereabouts. 

 

External build quality is Top Notch, albeit with some loose set screws after a mag dump, specifically the one for the left bolt catch lever, AKA the one that comes loose on every MP7 yet released (to my knowledge). The trademark/safety warnings (Idiot Marks) are fairly low-vis, in a dark grey as opposed to EF’s normal bright white, probably not an issue for that majority of you over there in Europe. The adorably tiny birdcage flash hider is also bright Blaze Orange but appears metal, and has 12mm- threads beneath. 

 

In addition, dropping the mag slightly, but not all the way, clears the magnetic follower, but does not disengage the magazine disconnect, meaning you can still dry-fire the RIF. I have reason to believe that the Bolt catch when depressed fully also does the same, but have yet to be able to produce reliable results.  

 

(Will add more as I have the MP7 longer.)

Glad to hear. I was getting worried as I'd been hearing some pretty disappointing things about it recently

yeah i've heard a lot of good things about them. figured it's worth investing in a really good pair of boots not just for airsofting but for any time i need to do any amount of proper hiking.

Should have said, I’ve got one sat in a box never used as it didn’t fit my VFC mk12 front end

Dammit.

 

Don't suppose you have the KAC FFRAS kicking about do you? The one I have in the kit I bought is an SR25 RAS with the cutout on the top rail for the folding foresight

I’ve not, sorry. I had one but it was attached to a VFC SR25 that is now gone.

So ordered that because I was told you wind it up, and then can shoot the whole 300 without having to wind again.  Not the case with the one delivered today.
