Made a mini-review here - things didn't start well:

 

I love nearly all the ergonomics (not a huge fan of the stock) - it's lovely to hold and the external build quality is amongst the best I have ever seen. But I do have some quibbles over the stock motor, the PDW stock and the mock bolt release.

 

BUT - it's a keeper. I test fitted a Buffer tube/PTS EPS stock last night and that's the way to go for me - just need to extend the wiring.

 

I also have to remember that G&G Raiders are now very close in price (£210-220) to these guns since the price hike. Frankly this shits all over G&G plastic bodied range of guns and makes them feel very cheap to hold.

 

The PTS iron sights alone that ship with the EVE-4 cost £40-50 to buy separately, PTS Rail sections £8 a pop (of which you get 2), the vertical grip is damned near perfect for my tastes and would benefit from having 'PTS' stamped on it rather than 'KWA'. Overall it's very good value for money for what you get in the box.

Yikes, lousy introduction to the platform but here's to hoping it's all uphill from here. The buffer tube looks to be the same one used in the Ronin series so you should've been able to fit these Nuprol 11.1v 30c 1450 mAh Lipo Batteries in securely. It's what I used for years with no problem at all.

I'm interested to see how it looks with your new stock though.

Here’s what it looks like this at the moment:

 

I don’t intend to use any FDE coloured parts  for this gun, so I’ll pick up a new black PTS EPS shortly. Wiring is currently too short for use in a buffer tube.

I bought a Tag Evo Shell launcher from Evike. $119.00, including shipping. Been stuck at customs last couple of days, and today I get this email. UPS can keep it 🤣 I already got one in the UK anyway.

Remember this?
After weeks of harassing my by email I sent UPS a shitty email on Friday, informing them I had already sent them my UKARA, twice, and no way I was paying that import tax, so they may as well keep the launcher shell, have fun with it.
I bought one I found on a UK site last week anyway...
UPS delivered my shell launcher today, and I've not paid a penny in tax 🤣

[Shamal]

Tell old Tampon to stick it right ups his arse!

 

😂

[Skullchewer]

I just got this.
Winners of dumbest shipping company ever....

Ugh. I hate when I'm all hyped up for a delivery only to see this.

You should meet my local DPD, anything short of a full on sprint to the door and they say missed delivery.. everytime.

[Skullchewer]

But they delivered the parcel yesterday 🤣

Apparently not... parcel? I haven't received no parcel! After all this messing around, you have now lost my parcel! Hand me a claims form please... 😉

Sadly that would require evike to send another shell launcher. If only.

Oh wait, no. I get you.

Sorry, long day, really tired.

Don't tease us. Show us how it looks like mounted!

[Floperator]

Had another one of these delivered this morning, my favorite holster, the Bianchi UM84 universal military holster. Great retention, and works well with a number of pistols.

Don't often see them in camo either.

[rj1986]

ANOTHER NGRS m4 that I didn’t need, but can’t pass up a bargain / man maths.

 

Also some cosmetics for the Tac41

 

[Druid799]

Not airsoft but I did buy it !😁

serial numbered signature edition ‘Rambo first blood’ knife , it’s the first copy that’s been endorsed by Stallone so it’s also the most screen accurate one to be released so far . All I have to do know is think of an appropriate way to display it safely ?🤔

I bought a project gun. G&G M14 EBR.

It's old and tatty but I love the look of the EBR. Going to rip it apart internally and totally rebuild.

Nice, welcome to the achey arms club!

[Alimcd]

I’ve ended up leaning in to my AAP build pretty hard. Hit go on:

 

Airtac Glock>MP5 adaptor 

Vortex/docter fit RDS mount

CCT hammer set, Knocker lock and sear

CCT nozzle set

DP hammer spring

TM long mag (for when not using it on HPA)

CTM wooden grips (to restain and recess some real Ruger grip medallions into)

TTi ring pull style fire selector 

 

 

At this point, it’s just the trigger bar, inner frame and hop unit that’s actually from Action Army

3 more parts to go and it will actually be "fully upgraded"

In my head “fully upgraded” is synonymous with boneyard.

 

Im just bored and stuck at the in-laws, retail therapy is my coping mechanism 

 

 

[SSPKali]

Esstac Kywi M4 naked, ML hop rubber, MWS Nozzle spring and Geoffs BBs.

 

I got the Pistol Kywis a couple of weeks ago and were so impressed I have stumped up for the M4 tall versions for the back of my shooters belt. Hold the MWS gas mags really well but easy to get out and re-index.

 

Will be testing the Geoffs against the other BBs I have to see how they perform and then testing the top 3 with the ML rubber.

probably because most "fully upgraded" guns are just standard guns with a spring change

 

tbf, you ain't that bad, my old m4 only the outer barrel was original.....

[CrackCommandoUnit1972]

I bought a Maple Leaf 50 degree Macaron and an Omega nub a while ago and had them sitting in the box of bits. Just put in my JG RPK for a game tomorrow and it's now shooting like one of those weapons that Putin doesn't want Ukraine to have.

 

I have promptly ordered some more.
