The 'What have you just bought' Thread

[Enid_Puceflange]

My order from Samoon for the SIG came through quickly 

Less than a week from ordering to arrival , and it’s all there! 💯

Even got a free pen (for almost £50 shipping!!🤦🏻‍♂️)

(For some reason I can only upload low quality images)

Well, where do I start..?

 

Bought a HoneyBadger from the classifieds back in June & wanted to use it to strip down and rebuild as a first practice 'build' (remember my disappearing piston spring?), well I was going to buy a new (proper) gearbox for it but got a used M4 one from @HuttArmouries along with a few missing bits and bobs (selector switch, bolt catch, dust cover & prob a couple of other bits) but today I recieved some bits fron Dave's Custom Airsoft hense my long winded post...

 

New 120 straight mag & battery cover.

 

Those in the know will see the upper reciever sits a little high on the lower (I might still buy the correct gearbox after all).

Just ordered one myself! Would love to see how you’ve set it up while I wait for mine if you have any pictures? 

Hey mate, didn't see your message! Mine is pretty basic at the moment, I've got a red dot on it and a TD stubby foregrip. Running a repro ferro slingster, but looking to get that swapped out pretty soonish. I rattlecanned the lower on it last weekend.

Just arrived genuine m500 with a malkoff mdm4 LED set up fitted

[Egon_247]

What can you get these days for £20?

Bag of 0.32's? Half a five guys burger? 

Today I landed two boneyard pistols. For a score. 

One is a valken avp17. (Silver one) Gbb pistol of questionable looks but hey, same as me really. It wouldn't rack. Couldn't get the topslide off. Turns out to be two filthy bb's jammed in the topslide release mechanism. Cleaned, unjammed and now hoping 0.28's happily.😁 0.7j.

 

Second one is a SAI BLU AEP Electric Pistol (MOSFET – by Cyma – CM135UP). Yup. That's a mouthful. 

Never had an aep. New experience for me. Has a dodgy connection somewhere inside but managed to get a few shots into the Chrono. Probably needs 0.2's as 0.5j is a bit meh. 

Not a fan of the gold shiney bits either.

Strange sensation aep's, aren't they? 😂😂

Anyway. Pics.

No worries mate - That’s a nice build!

a surefire repro torch would look good on there!

 

I’m waiting for mine to come back from negative airsoft then I’m going to spray it aswell. 

What paints and netting did you use? id love to do my whole rifle like that, it looks great!

[Johndaniel4863]

My latest purchase Glock 17 with genuine GTL10 for an LEO loadout

[rj1986]

Took a punt on an Amazon WML wasdn/wasdn copy, along with some cheap rail mounts.

 

Turned out alright.

 

 

[AirsoftTed]

TM MWS + 3 extra mags from FS as an early birthday present.

 

Regretted selling my last one so much I had to get one again!

[TheFull9]

I'd reckon there's a decent chance the Foliage Warrior is TM's slowest selling/least popular GBB pistol and perhaps the one most commonly regarded as their fugliest offering.  Probably lounges on stock room shelves for years and years.  So, here I am.

I dunno, seems ok to me.

 

Certainly better than the abominations many people willingly do to their tm hicapas......

Ty mate, it's the first time I've rattlecanned a rifle so I'm pretty pleased with how it's turned out.
 

I'm thinking of getting a nice repro torch and an PEQ box just for the looks.

 

I used halfords camo spray paint. They're about 7 quid a can. I used khaki and brown on mine. The netting is a laundry net that I cut up because I never use it!

My green QD suppressor has been my preferred thing to run on my VFC HK416 for a while, but I've had a few rounds pinging out of it at odd angles.   So what's a man to do but spend some money on an alternative (that might be even worse!)

Yup, I bought a barrel extension, and although I've not test-fired to see if it's going to interfere with the BBs, it sure looks bad-ass to my eyes

£15 inc p&p from eBay  (It's Bullseye Country Sports' ebay shop)

Just ordered a Cygnus Armoury face warrior plus, hopefully it turns out better than the deltamike mask

[gavinkempsell]

Happy new to me...

 

The M16A3 will be rattle canned as a C7, no plans for the rest other than integrating into my collection displays.

[MrTea]

As much as I like the MP7/9 design is it strange I find the VMP-1 ugly?

I like 'different', I didn't have one so I got one.

[Speedbird_666]

Stubby stock plus a couple new LiPos to stick in it (£24 posted for 2 packs from China Hobby Line).

 

 

 

 

[Dan Robinson]

Well, the buton was pushed (well the phone was tapped)....

 

 

AA G36, GBBR...  Stuck a spare red dot on there with a foregrip[ and the mini PEQ box I got the other day - which has a surprisingly effective strobe and torch function).  Came with two mags, but I bought a third for shits and giggles.

 

Surprised by how much gravity it has and less creaking than I was lead to expect from the vids online.  Standby for some potentially daft questions in the Gas Section.

 

Recoil is pretty effective too.

Do you have pouches they'll fit in?

I struggled with my m4 type mags(even the double mag pouches), so got some from the classifieds on here.

Lemme go check.....

 

 

They fit fine in my Osprey rig, although, not the official pouches - the flap doesn't reach over enough.  I have some Viper pouches on it with elastic straps, and they seem fine.

 

On my lightweight rig, they don't fit the regular pouches, but might go in the internal zipped ones.

Good man! No such things as daft questions either. I mean, that's not strictly true, but you know, ask away.

 

Now you'll be on the look out for the bulk buy gas offers!
