Also purchased SBK M150 Spring, SRS Fast Hop, 3 additional SRS OD Steel mags. I am going to try and keep this setup for a while before I start going wild with upgrades. Just want it to lift .48s reliably and straight. Grabbed a Mosfet for my M249 and another Nuprol 1450Mah 7.4v Stick battery as my 3 year old ones are end of life. 

I am so bloody poor, its not even funny. But at least I will "hopefully" have this by the end of July. 

A proud addition to my bullpup armoury! 

Out of curiosity,  which Mosfet did you go for? Interested in what works well with support guns.

This was a real tough one for me.

 

Pre Ordered SRS Silverback 16" Covert A2 in OD, Right handed model from Fire-Support.

Very nice, the best bullpup BASR for sure. When you end up spending more on upgrades look at Sniper Mechanic (he’s a member on here but can’t remember his @) and EDGI, Mr. @MikeMarden had a very nice EDGI rifle which shot rather well and I know he’s just bought another SRS.

Thanks buddy - New SRS is on its way to Jason @ Longbow as we speak, will have some more EdGi goodness being added. Now this is only my opinion, but I opted for Longbow over Skirmshop based on initial contact & service offered, so very glad I did, Jason Fergie has been a great support throughout SRS ownership & beyond, was the first person I reached out to upon buying another SRS yesterday

I only buy very basic mosfets. Not interested in anything advance. Especially for support guns, no reason to pre-cock on something that's a full auto weapon anyway. Just introduces more stress into gearbox. As long as it protects the trigger contacts I am golden (The A&K's are microswitches which ark more then standard AEG Switches)

Usually I buy Perun basics, this time I got a Gate PicoSSR. I also dont bother with active braking!

I do like the look the Mouse Fart pistons for a future upgrade. My current BASR is a Well MB09 which has been upgraded fully, but its loud as heck so something silent would be nice. 

 

Went with a M150 Spring which will probably bring me 20-30 FPS under 500, which is fine if I replace the barrel with a tightbore.

Thanks for the info, yeah the microswitches can be a hassle.

As long as you’re below 2.3J on your .48s should be perfect. 
not having looked into SRS upgrades personally I use a Sniper Mechanics WASP piston in my VSR with the medium weight and full airbrake it’s very quiet however the joule creep is quite high so the .2 velocity seems low but it’s on the limit with a .43

Dan/sniper mechanic/skirmshop UK I’ve found can be a bit slow with contact but in person one of the nicest guys and always up for a chat and it’s fun playing sniper pairs against him.

 

another new gun Mike, I still haven’t seen the Mk.48 in person 😃

A scope.

Not content with emptying my wallet this month, I have now sold the wallet itself. 

 

ZCI Neo Balanced 16TPA motor for my M249.

I heard Viper Tactical equipment is much better than it used to be..

 

So I decided to find out.

 

 

Had my eye on their old VX buckle up Carrier before it got discontinued.

Really like the Gen 2 on first impressions.

I've added the panel from the chest rig to the carrier instead.

 

 

Looking forward to trying on the trousers when I get home and comparing them to Emersons. Certainly feel good.

Good buy mate, their pouches/vests etc are very good, highly underrated, can't comment on the clothing & footwear though.

i think generally there's a lot snobbery when people mention viper kit, I accept that's in part down to some of their very early offerings were hit & miss, but truth is for airsoft, pulling it on every couple of weeks it'd probably last years.

I like that a lot.

I'm in the market for a very slim plate carrier with room for 3 5.56 at the front and this may be it.

You will move it around at least once more before your happy   

Most likely. Though it went in so many places i dont think there is anywhere else on the belt to try. Cant fit it onto my warrior cpc either as it doesnt have molly.

Now i just need to figure out why some of the bb's keep getting stuck in the mk23 supressor. Then i can swap everything again to fit the dtd holster instead of warrior universal one.

 

Oh on a side not and more on topic. Ordered a 'invader gear' woodland ubacs from Bullseye Country Sports on Wednesday at about half one. Got home yesterday at 2pm and it had already arrived! Fast

Hoping the Invader gear stuff proves to be half way decent.

I've been using my M81 set from Invader Gear for 3 years and it's still in great shape! You get way more value for money than say Emerson/insert-clone-here

[Lozart]

Bought myself a Cyma M14 Socom for my birthday and now the last of the dress up parts has arrived!

 

Tac Pro M14 cheek rest

 

 

CYMA M14 RAS (AIM-O EoTech for now)

Might get an ACOG to slap on for shits and giggles...

Cheers skara. I was looking at getting the m81 predator pants pants they do.

[Nick G]

WE M4 CQBR which is going to be the base for a gas L119 A1 build to go with my A1 and A2 AEG's  . I've got a couple of other WE GBBR's so am familiar with the good and not so good bits and the mags are compatible with the ones I have for the L85 that I got as a completely unknown quantity from an airsoft jumble and rebuilt.

[E21A]

AW VX7310 finally arrived from KY Airsoft

Yeah for a replica they're actually good.

I tend not to use them in warmer weather though as they turn into an oven.

I may snag a pair in RG (or check their Revenge pants, which should be lighter and cooler) to complete my tournament loadout along with a FG ubacs.

[L3wisD]

Not so much "what have you just bought", but more like "what have you just won"

 

I've just won a brand new Marui USP 9 full size!!

 

Thanks to @rocketdogbert for recommending the Airsoft competitions website (from the guys at ROE airsoft).

 

Absolutely made up, DogBert will tell you've I've been umming and arring over buying one for months! 😅

[Guest]

Awesome @L3wisD 👍🏻👍🏻

@Skara - What's the general opinion on the AA barrels? Side note (and a very geeky one) shouldn't you just be running an M4 with desert fatigues and ops vest?

Most people say they're decent, especially for the price (A steel barrel for €25? dirt cheap, when you consider you can pay up to double that for an alu/brass one)

Will install it tonight and give it a quick test to see how it fares against the stock 6.03x300 brass barrel of the AS02.
