Im using the exact same, quality is really good for the price

But wash in a cool wash, the black fades quite quickly sadly 

 

Noted for the wash temp.

 

Quality is great. The kneepads are better built (sturdiness) than my Arktis trousers'.

I may have accidently made a russian kit 😶

 

I just like atacs fg in ghost recon, didn't look it up too much until I was gonna buy some and realised it's mostly used by russians. Also recently got a VSS. Ah well, it looks cool as hell. It's all invader gear stuff, pretty comfy, should perform well through the year.

No pics but a new G&G mid cap mag. Its very snug and takes a little effort to get it in but theres no wobble and it feeds fine.

A 20mm quick release riser for the Warthog as the red dot is a little low. The acog is fine but i dont know which I'm going to use yet.

Just arrived from Japan, but I finally got around to getting a front strap for the mac11. Now I just need to get a replacement front sight as my one snapped off at some point (and they're not expensive to replace...)

Where did you get the strap, and where are you getting your replacement part? id love to have the strap, but my KWA MAC11 is also missing the front sling element to attach it to so i need to replace that

I actually got mine from Amazon (UK, but it's a Japan import), because while Octagon Airsoft have them, the postage is too much if you only want that.

 

As for spare parts, bztactical in the UK is good for KWA parts, but if not you can get KSC parts from Rainbow8. They have basically everything (and KSC is the same as KWA, so it'll fit)

Sorry for the double post, but the timing worked out this way. I know it isn't period accurate for all you stitch counters, but new harness arrived for my Vietnam belt kit and it was £12 well spent.

 

The period accurate one is simply not made for 6'5 individuals. Even at the max setting it was just too short and held the belt up too high. This new one is longer and actually fits me comfortably, keeping the belt where it should be. Also I added a knife sheath because knife kills are always amusing. Fits everything I need for a good time hunting GIs with their own kit ;)

£12 Wow! 

 

Just to be clear, I don't mean the entire setup, just the suspenders! :P

 

And sorry, I lied. £14. Still, it's a great price. Alice kit tends to be pretty cheap and I love it.

Also looking at a tactical vest on ebay to complete a Stargate SG1 loadout.  Trying to find an accurate, black blackhawk omega is impossible, so this vest would be more of a Stargate-inspired vest than a stitch-counter accurate version.  Pics will be shared if I do decide to pull the trigger on the vest..

Time to see if I can rebuild as easily as I can take apart!

Probably more of a want than a need (although, isn’t everything in airsoft a “need”, at least when justifying to OH…?), these nifty aluminium kit hangers from Luminae - plate carrier and Cobra buckle equipped belt nicely stored on hanging rail in the garage:

Please do not use a Nuprol spring!  Get an XT one from AK2M4.

So if we see you post a rif in the boneyard section... 🤣

I've successfully reshimmed and got stuck getting it all back together, so I've left it on the table until my block of night shifts is over then I'll try again.

I know they're not premium but are they that bad?

In my experience, they are inconsistent and tend to lose their power quite quickly.
