The 'What have you just bought' Thread

[RostokMcSpoons]

A couple of boneyard purchases...

 

 

Action Hobbies does me a favour again...
3 x polymer mid-caps for £7 which are to go in my Tippmann, because the Lonex flash mags quite often unwind on insertion, so these seem a better bet.  Also, I'm only going to run the Tippmann on semi-auto - seems a bit more 'suitable' to that play-style.   (And as a  minor bonus I get to use the Odin knock-off I bought second hand yonks ago)

 

An Eotech clone for £8.   Just cos I can't stop myself buying super-cheapo optics, it seems.    It's not that bad, surprisingly!

 

And Land Warrior returned the pair of VFC HK416 mags I bought a couple of weeks ago, that were leaking.   They now seem fixed, and they turned them around pleasingly quickly ... i.e. just in time for my next game-day tomorrow.  Phew!

After creating this post,

I ended up going away off the track of DNC , usual kinda thing that, right?

So anyway, just arrived today

A Spanky pair of Krydex G3 in Tiger Stripe. 
Had a quick look over them when they arrived, good material, certainly better than my Emerson MTP’s also they have stretch panels. 
Might have a wee beer tonight and get the complete Larp-on in my mums basement 😆

Nothing very exciting; a Double Bell KAC PDW.

A quick reshim, new pistol grip, high torque motor, ZCI 6.02mm barrel, Maple Leaf 60 degree Macaron and Gearparts 70 degree nub, new spring, new nozzle and a CHiLUN ETU.

I took this to Tower Airsoft today for its first outing; a truly excellent little gun.  Great range and accuracy and very consistent power.

Nothing too exciting.

Delta Mike mk2 in dark woodland.

3 metres of 1inch webbing in woodland camo with 5 plastic and 1 metal triglide, 1 metal spring loaded cam buckle and a metal hk clip. Plan to make my own adjustable 2 point sling.

Bought this hop unit for my T-11;

 

Next week it'll be this tracer plus whatever tracer 0.28/0.25g I can find.

 

And maybe in two/three weeks another couple of pouches from Baribal.pl

Good choice. Got one of those in my T10, and I'm liking it very much.

 

Big improvement over the original AA red unit, or the Tridos ones I've used before.

Currently I'm using the stock chamber with a GS TDC turret.

GS TDC is nice but it's HUGE and it's very easy to knock it off adjustment, also I wanted to try something new

[Hudson]

I've just installed a gunsmithy TDC in one of mine myself, actually!

Just received a boneyard Classic Army UMP from @THE FNG.

 

She'll need a bit of work, but I'm hoping to have her up and running for my next day of BBwarz. I forgot how much I love H&K plastic spaceguns (*looking at my big pile of boring M4s*).

Thanks to @Louish118

I enquired about his HK decals

He didn’t have quite what I was after, but was able to get these knocked up for my TM 416 which for some reason TM don’t do the trades on the right side of the magwell 

So here’s a before & after 👌

They look good - do you need to apply any kind of clear coat (lacquer) over the top for protection?

I haven’t yet, but was thinking of digging through my wife’s nail polish selection to see if she has anything suitable, as they will probably peel off eventually despite a proper de-greasing before application 

( I know I don’t have any in my makeup bag 😉)

MWS build is officially complete. Fitted it and maaaaaaaaaan it's a lot nicer than the stock pistol grip. Plus the NPAS should help me keep it from getting a bit too spicy. Might actually get a longer inner barrel for it now, since it's an m16a4 and beforehand if I put a longer barrel in it would creep to be hot (currently has an m4 length one that stops half way through the outer).

 

[Egon_247]

I bought a replacement v3 gearbox to replace the one I murdered in my aug. 

Now I'm busy googling how to drill the TM gearbox bush holes to fit the ones from the replacement....😁

Treated myself to some new camo. See if anyone can identify the type?

At first I thought it was some sort of variant of Afghan national army uniform, but the larger digital squares I think it maybe Project Honor Camouflage?

[mightyjebus]

yup..good guess and completely right.

 

Wouldn't mind a baseball cap in the same camo but bits are getting hard to find now.

I have never seen it outside of the US. It pops up on  Hopupairsoft from time to time, not sure how effective it is.

A nice new 499mm zci barrel for my g3. only to discover that for some reason the tm g3 outer barrel is narrowed after 459mm to a point that the inner barrel wont fit through. Being relatively cheap metal and the scarcity of spares. I dont think trying to bore out the outer barrel is a worthwhile risk.

[Shamal]

Picked up a Highlander 25ltr buckle up pack today from an army/navy store near me.

Got him down from £45 to £35. Was after a Viper one but I must say that the quality/strength and attention to detail is spot on.

It won't help me play any better but at least I can fill it with cake and sweets for when I'm sulking in the bushes! 🙂

I think the stock grip on an MWS, combined with the flat trigger guard is one of the most uncomfortable combos out there. Very wise to replace 👍

Found a used TM G18C for a good price so decided to do a G18C build after the summer.

Also found that there’s not many aftermarket slides left out there for this particular gun.

 

But today this beauty landed from Japan after some minor hazzle with swedish customs.

 

The Nineball ”Eckesachs” slide. Some kind of carbonfibre abs mixture with metal reinforcements. Superlight and very sexy.

Can’t wait for autumn so I can get the rest of the parts and start the build..

 

Worth waiting for..

Nothing spectacular but a very useful little bundle from Action Hobbies' boneyard...

 

Two sets of camo knee pads.

Lower face mask.

Pistol lanyard.

MTP baseball cap.

Bolle glasses.

Green snood with mouth protection.

Green balaclava.

 

All for a tenner.  I only really wanted the kneepads to replace my current ones bought from Screwfix, as the straps are showing the strain, but the other bits could be useful, especially if I take friends along.

The Bolle glasses won't get used in-game but are ideal for casual use when doing DIY etc

 

And I bought a pair of MTP combat trousers as my current ones are very faded.
