The 'What have you just bought' Thread

Popped into LandWarrior Airsoft on the way home from work (just for a nosey really).

I hoped I might get a gas tube for my M16A3 but no luck so I bought an M-lok fore grip, seeing as I'd ordered a keymod one by mistake.

This longboi arrived today as I was fitting the aforementioned fore grip, courtesy of Austeyr, the bugger tempted me with sweeties & once I climbed into his van he sold me this S&T BAR.

Yeah ok, me again but they were all ordered at the same time...honest.

 

A peq & M300 light arrived courtesy of nik4355 & a fancy sopmod battery for my URG-I, the peq will be moved once a hydra mount arrives from Amazon but that'll be in August apparently.

PVS-31 Digital NVG. Not as good as my Gen 3 PVS-14 but better than my Sionyx. Still needs a IR source for complete darkness but in low light they are very clear. Another nice touch is you can switch from green to Phos, B&W and a strange brownish colour. This is the Pro version so you can run off the external battery pack or run it on a single 14500 battery

Nowhere near as expensive as the NVGs there, but I've finally put myself a CQB kit together for if I ever go to events where I can't do my scout sniper / recon role and have to do CQB instead. Already got the guns as I have a KWA mp9, or a CQB MWS with two uppers; one as a more modern mk18, one as a more retro car-15 style. Also already have the plate carrier with weighted training plates to simulate actual armour plates, plus placards for AR/AK, .308 and SMG mags. That left head and face protection that needed doing, as getting shot in the face up close sucks and I don't want expensive dental bills! Also, I am a tall fellow at 6'5" and don't want to scalp myself on any door frames, which someone did actually do at my local site a month or so ago; he's fine now but seeing what he did would make anyone at least a little squeamish.

 

Bought a "ballistic" helmet from Aliexpress for £35, fully expecting that it wouldn't be the IIIA ballistic rating that was advertised because it was a £35 helmet from Aliexpress, and found some Americans who did in fact prove that they are not IIIA ballistic rated. However, what I wanted was a helmet that was big enough for my 62cm head, and also had a nice weight to it to simulate that armour in the same way the weighted plates in my carrier have no ballistic protection but sure make it feel like I'm wearing the real thing! To finish up, I also bought: a helmet cover, pair of earmor m32s and mounts, an Aliexpress anti-fog unit (bought the Nov one too, but thought that £15 was worth trying an Aliexpress one so will use that one first until it dies), a face mask balaclava combo, and then a pair of over-glasses goggles from Novritsch, since I know a lot of opticians are getting difficult when it comes to having inserts glazed, as well as some arc rail anti-fog hose clips to keep it all nice and tidy.

 

Overall, I am pleased. It feels great, fits great and the whole setup came in at under £150 for absolutely everything; I didn't want to spend too much because at the end of the day, I won't be using this setup all that much as I way prefer my scout sniper / recon style of play, but it's nice to have options :D

I got the NVG's from Aliexpress and it was delivered for £566 which is about the price of a Tm NGRS.

The price listed is £649 but when I went to buy them they knocked off £100 at checkout. Not sure if this is for everyone but I wasn't going to complain.

 

I'll try to stick up a video showing the quality (once it gets dark!)

Because everyone on HRC raves about them, I have bought:

 

Waldo Dynamics MWS Hop adjuster arm and a pack of the Ion MWS return springs.

 

Omega nub was a reasonable stop gap, but it doesn't work briliiantly, and the stock DE return springs are just poo.

I might add some to my list of things to buy. Already got IR weapon lights and lasers, so it'd be nice to actually have a set of NVGs. Would be really interested to see if they're any good.

More spending abound:

 

2x Stanley Fat Max waterproof deep organisers - currently have a massive pile of spares dotted around in jiffy bags, spare ikea lunchboxes and even a fishing tacklebox, Toolstation had a deal on 2 for £32 of the normally significantly more expensive waterproof ones, so nabbed that.

 

Guarder Recoil Buffer - because WE M4 is getting pretty severe bolt bounce and is causing misfeeding galore, shifting weights should fix that (hopefully)

 

Silverback GBB Bucking 4 pack - wasn't sure what hardness to choose for the Scar now it's semi locked and intending to run it at 1.8J, so bought the 1 of each option.
