According to the interwebs it was designed between 1980-1983 and produced from 1984 so i can just sneak it into my, casual, 80s SAS load out. 😁

It would be rude not to, really!

That's my thinking. 😁

Stupidly sold my WE Glock 17 a while back with the intentions of getting the Umarex licensed one but I wasn’t a huge fan of the “licensed by” (I want my pews to look as accurate as possible to the real thing) 

 

Figured I’d just get another WE and be satisfied, so off to KY I went only to find this absolute beauty.

Now to sit by the door watching for the postie 👀


Got the G17 today. Had a mishap with the glue, more than I was anticipating decided to flow but I can clean it up. Absolutely in love with it, and with it being WE there’s plenty of upgrades! Just need maybe 2 more mags now…

With my Brother-in-Law and his wife coming over from Oz this weekend, he wanted to go shooting, however, my dive bottle is empty and out of test date, so no air rifles, so airsoft it is, which happens to mean needing a third pew. Not having much of a budget due to double birthday party for my girls, meant going cheap and cheerful, so checking my local RFD website and checking them out on YT for reviews etc to try to find best "bang for buck", I nipped into the shop this morning and picked up a Specna Arms SA-F02 and red dot optic. 

 

Have to say, for only £120, it appears to be punching above it's price point, with rotary hop and tight bore barrel (looks brass?), finish looks good and going by the various reviews, should be better out of the box than my G&G SM16 Raider, which I had to change the hop rubber and barrel for it to shoot OK. already fitted the optic and lense protector, so all I need to do now, is set the hop, which depending on B-i-L's schedule, will either be at our local airsoft site or at my woods, along with my lad.

 

If my younger daughter wants to take up airsoft, then at least we've got a pew available for her or even use as a base for a custom build.

Must resist the temptation to fit these straight away...

 

Think I should do some crono tests with diff weights BB's & get all scientifically-ish, means waiting till my day off next week.

 

patience is not a virtue I usually possess.

Just a few bits for me as I'm hoping to get out a bit more this year having been doing life stuff most of last year, a Crye SPS frag pouch (the inserts mean it can carry everything from pistol mags to 12g shells) and a replica scalar leap aimpoint mount for my MCX(the holy warrior version) and the build quality on that is amazing 👌

Finally got a pair of Lundhags - been wanting a pair since the late 80s and the SASS catalogue. They don’t feel as heavy as they look, I can run and the membrane will never fail! Really wish I’d got them a long time ago.IMG_0650.thumb.jpeg.c1337c31b332a0c007fab04aabccd37b.jpeg

As a young squaddie in the early/mid eighties I dreamt about owning a pair of these, but could never justify them as they would have cost me about 3 weeks wages, or beer tokens as they were better known🥴

(no such thing as dry January back then, or any other month lol🤣

I’m sure the boots, DMS were more than adequate so the young you made the sensible choice. Can’t scrimp on hydration.

Can't argue on the Hydration bit, but the dms were terrible, low cut & fit like wellies, made worse by the fact we had to wear putties with them. 

Got my mitts on some urban patrol boots, they were like comfy slippers in comparison.

I always preferred Glocks and  Desert Eagles.... but lately the Sig has been making a small itch in certain pew related places. 

 

Goddammit 

I have a 226, and although it is (currently) my only pistol, it's going to take a lot for me to put it down

My first Mk18 mod1

 

It'll be tricked out as almost every other Mk18 once some parts arrive from China... added some bits & pieces I had on other builds for the second pic.

I'm 50/50

They're both cool

As long as you don't have to make any permanent changes you get the best of both 😉

Has anyone encountered this before? I now have a UKARA, but at the time of purchase (last boxing day), I ordered the RIF in two-tone, and the retailer - Extreme Airsoft, sent it without any paint work lol (?). Not that I'm complaining of this "error", but rather find it amusing.

I've had that happen before too. I rang the shop to let them know but tbh I got the impression that they didn't really care

Used the 416 for three games now. First time with GBBR, gas got colder as I played outside, muzzle velocity went from 349 fps to 140... Second time, warmed my mags against my body with a complex rotation system and used red gas, still quite underwhelming. Third time, used green gas but hand warmers in mag pouches, gleaming range but couldn't see fall of shot.

Now I have a scope. Will do a bit of zeroing and hop-up fine tuning next game.
