The 'What have you just bought' Thread

Very rarely share what I've bought, in case she picks up my phone lol, but saw this patch today & thought "yep, that's me"

G&P MP5 flashlight handguard - only to realise it's not a direct fit on G&G MP5s so I had to do a bit of scuffed DIY.

 

Put it on my current MP5 as the other one is currently in pieces to replace the cocking handle. It looks like it's pitched at an angle in the picture but it's not something I noticed when fitting it. When the other MP5 is back together, i'll have a look at shimming it so it's level but i'm just happy that I managed to get it to fit.

@WompRat This may be of interest to you. The problem with the G&P handguard is that it's missing the little 'hook' that latches onto the receiver to stop it being pulled off. You can buy the CYMA triple railed handguard and it also has this little hook piece as seen below:

 

This little piece is just screwed into the bottom of the rail. I took that out and had to dremel a screwhole into the G&P handguard and attach the hook on the inside. It's a bit awkward to measure and I got it wrong the first time so there's an extra hole in the bottom of the handguard now - oops. When you get it right, it hooks right in and is rock solid on the gun. If you need me to measure where the screwhole is, let me know.

Not one of my biggest purchases but a fairly important component for my next project, thanks to twistedfate for printing this for me.

Hi, I got it from the Chinese wonder market that is Temu. They have some great bargain stuff like the patch I got but they also have a load of crap, you get what you pay for.

Mine came from a guy on vinted, who probably bought a shitload from temu.

Mine was still cheap so no complaints.
