I’ve made a huge mistake and entered the GBBR world. After one mag I think I’m going to sell my AEGs 😂 

 

Welcome! I put all my AEGs away a while ago because of a similar experience. Picked up a TM AKM, squeezed off a mag on the range and immediately was like "I'm never using AEGs again" 🤣

How’d you think I felt?

This is my first firing of a gbbr (bought it by accident 😂)

It sings now though

And the TM AKM doesnt even kick that hard compared to a GHK or VFC.....

1st GBBR, no idea what im doing with it, it makes a LOT of noise, bits move about and it shakes violently in my hands. 

 

But - OMG! is it satisfying to shoot! 

 

I shall now go and sit in the naughty corner as i'm running it Hpa - cant be doing with 30rnd mags 

 

 

Missing half the point of GBBR if you are using HPA and bigger mags

I tried a NGRS and was contemplating it but thought may as well dive into GBBR! Excited for the weather to warm up a bit and get to a skirmish

Will add I have forgot how horrible that standard m4 grip is 🤢

The NGRSs are actually really good.

 

I have a mix of NGRSs and GBBRs, best of both worlds, temperature's not a concern, etc.

 

Also, you can never have too many. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Who's a good TAC-41 P... yes you are... yes you are... good boy...

That was definitely a bonkers-low price and tbh you have checked an option that says they're 'unable to take your order at this time', but I also hope they don't pull the rug on you because that'll be the bargain of the year.

 

Well it's here..

Amazing, lol.  Call me a gelatinous mass because I'm jelly af.

I've bought from them a few times and they've been so good to deal with. I sent an e-mail about ticking the wrong box on the order and they said it was fine, no mention about pricing or anything.

 

Very happy now. It's been swapped to front wired and put a folding stock on it. Tomorrow i'll fit the new barrel and hop rubber.

 

7 new guns have arrived this week, so Sunday's game is gonna  have many choices!

This rather nice 1911 from 18Airsoft. It's an E&C, nice trades, seems to work well - and only £52 (plus a minimum of about £20 for postage I seem to remember). Grips are Ivory effect G10 from Aliexpress for about £8 posted - only a small amount of dremmeling required to their undersides to achieve a perfect fit.

I tried sneaking in a cheap little double bell 92FS into my massive 18airsoft order but it ramped the delivery cost up the moment I popped it in - still, mine also came today which was an awesome suprise, and I might've won the customs lottery because it just arrived with zero fanfare or added fees
 

Spoiler

I have no idea how they didn't notice 21 seperate items and decide to take a bite, but I'm more than happy to have 'gotten away' with it lol

Speaking of SEA imports. I bought this MPX-K (King Arms OEM) on sale from RedWolfAirsoft and as per usual with EMS deliveries from those places, I had no fees nor VAT etc. The interior delivery was done by Royal Mail.

Picked up a dirt cheap WE M4 from a friend who hasn't used it in at least 10 years 

 

Ended up making another L119A1 out of it

Been after one of these mounts for over a year.

And then three turned up at once?

[ButcherBill]

Just a simple foregrip, I got fed up nicking the tan one off my L85A3, some green gas came in the same package (just in case the weather's mild enough to use my GBBR's).

also

Got a bulk delivery of hooks for my grid walls so watch this space for more pics in the next week or so.

I like my MK20 SSR so much i bought its smaller brother.

 

 

 

[Jacob Wright]

Bought myself a new holster for when I’m not running a battle belt. Picked up an IMI one for £20 at UK Tactical. 
 

Was delivered pretty quick, my Glock 19 Gen 3 fits perfectly with good retention - but the Glock 17 Gen 5 doesn’t. 
 

It seems the ambi slide release is catching on the inside of the holster, so I’ll have to dremel it down slightly.

New [to me] WE Mark XIX in black. Wanted chrome but could only find it in L6 flavour, which while nice wasn't what I was going for. This came as a bargain, and barring a few usual WEagle-isms [the mag baseplate retention is broken, as is common] it makes the rest of my pistol collection feel Skegness toy-store springer in comparision. Awesome piece. Plus, holy shit! It's so fucking massive! I mean, duh - but holy shit!

If anybody knows how to get a set of Hogue grips to the UK I'm all ears, most sites don't want to bother with importing so if there's anybody somebody could point me to I'm all ears, as the WE grips are pretty well known to be quite crap

New chest rig in Multicam Tropic. Holds 8x M4 mags, 2x pistol mags and lots of misc space in the GP pouches.

Looking was a terrible mistake. Will focus on building this one up first before considering a fancy one in the future
