A big one and a little one.

 

 

Are the atoms shotgun cartridge size ?, & where's the best place to get the snaps to fit them ?

Thanks in advance, looks excellent 👍

I know, shouldn't give him money, but thinking about it, the suppressor is well thought. Plus I need it for a small project I'm working on

Credit where credit is due they're decent suppressors, the modular features are useful and the 14mm CCW adapter that's included makes it something you can use on a variety RIFs. Likely slightly overpriced at it's regular RRP but the discount currently available makes it a decent buy imo 🤷‍♂️.

Hello, I have haven't got any cartridges to do a direct comparasion, but they look pretty similar in size, so they might fit in a standard carridge holder. I will give then a whirl tonight to see how loud they are, but considering their price, they look pretty good.

 

I got them cheap from here, they also sell the snap bangers and holders too:

nah, it's still used by people too poor to afford zenitco (ie me )

 

i still view m4 stocks as heresy, but dragging an ak through the zenit catalogue can be good.

 

tbh if money wasn't an object i'd probably be going big time into siderail optics, but there's not many decent airsoft repros of the more eclectic stuff.

I love tactical aks but m4 buffer tubes is a line I will not cross.

This.

The guns suck, some accessories can be decent.

SSX23 mags, here in Italy, are the only viable option, TMs are too damn expensive (between 35 and 45 euros a piece) and STTIs are about the same price as Nov's, but permanently out of stock.

€25 (on discount) isn't a bad price compared to the average useless airsoft suppressor. I've spent more and received wank items.

I bought the LCT AK12/15 at the bottom of the picture from Gunfire recently and obviously havent been able to skirmish but seems like a nice aeg. Is shooting hot but will be an easy fix. I didnt get the EBB version for price and longevity reasons.

 

 

Can anyone recommend a good scope setup for the AK? I generally don't really care about quality for scopes as the range you are fighting at are frankly pathetic in airsoft - its all about the looks.

 

If you google AK12 there are some nice looking RS stuff but I have no idea what the scopes are called or where I can buy a cheaper version so any recommendations would be much appreciated 👍

Having the rail sitting so high above the stock I'd just get a RMR style one.

Problem is, most RMRs are a waste of money.

Maybe a T1 with the low mount so you don't end up cosplaying a giraffe when aiming.

Tokyo Marui MK23. Yes I am gonna join the other snipers.

Have you seen the bore offset on some of the siderail stuff?

 

Forget cheek weld or even chin weld, its beard weld and only if your a wizard

A pair of Revision Sawfly glasses from eBay (brand new apparently).

A kind of emergency purchase as I just found out that my Vega glasses are cracked (at least 4 years of service in protecting my mk1 eyeball sighting system).

 

So I've had a rough morning at work, couple of rather unnecessarily heated arguments with two different clients who wanted shit done instantly, for basically free.

 

Right after telling the second one to fuck off (literally), the postman knocked on my door and gave me this:

 

 

One absolutely destroyed box.

 

Fortunately the content was intact
