The 'What have you just bought' Thread

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.

Where did you get this masterpiece? Apologies if the answer is further up the thread 

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.

I took a punt on the JGAK74 as it’s on sale on the Socomtactical website and had another discount to reduce the price even further. Full metal, real wood furniture. Ive read mixed reviews about it but personally can’t fault it! 

 

Very nice, and at £160, that looks a bargain. If i wasn't waiting for the new line of Cyma platinum AKs to arrive, I’d be all over one of these.

Finally caved and bought a Autobot speed loader, much easier for pews that don't have M4 mag privledge and require funky 3D printed adapters to load from.

The 600 mAH 11.1v BZ reccomends fits [barely] but I feel it's a little too much juice as it's very easy to have the sheer torque push the mag out and spill ammo everywhere, and with certain mags - namely the PTS EPM-Gs for G36 - I fear that it might be denting the rounds as it's putting a lot of pressure on them and it'd very much suck to have the lovely G36 Neg put together for me knacker itself due to a jam on it's first outing (still waiting on a few last minute details to be added to it before it's sent out)

Wow, that is a decent price.  Nothing wrong with JG, they make robust stuff. Is it blowback, as claimed?

Yes! Electric blowback, gives it that extra bit of realism! And I agree, I believe they are related to the Golden Eagle company in some way!

My MPiKM has a new friend.


This nice used rifle arrived today.  I fitted the East German handguards; the next step will be to open it up and upgrade the internals.
