The 'What have you just bought' Thread

[Baser]

Having a morning playing around with toys.

 

1st purchased a couple of weeks ago, WE Apache MP5K. Lovely gun, spotless condition came with 5 mags to give me enough to field a whole game (with the other 3 I already have). Local site have opened an indoor CQB and I think this is the coolest way to play the game.  I have added an e-shooter tracer unit for the full laser beam effect

 

2nd Completed the DMR upgrade to the LCT G3, maple leaf 6.02 510mm stainless barrel, 4uantum hop rubber and nub and m130 spring. Shooting 1.88J on .36 BB’s like a laser. Had the selector modified to only shoot semi.  After a couple of games it decided to shoot only full auto? Modified the trigger contacts as it was arcing giving the full auto then it decided not to fire at all. Now fitted a e shooter mosfet to solve those problems and now it’s shooting very well with a very short trigger pull. 
 

Modernised with the LCT m lok handguard and an unknown fore grip from the box of parts, trying to make this monster easier to handle, might look at adding a small bipod to the front but not convinced it will get used and just add weight? Any thoughts?

 

3rd WE Apache MP5, modernised with a Cyma m lok handguard to keep it looking like the G3.  Had to modify it with a hacksaw to make it fit, like the look and it gives me options for torches and tracers for CQB or fore grips for woodland.

WE L85A2 GBBR from Surplus Store.

Wanted the WE GBBR as...

1. wanted a proper A2 as most of my SA80's were springers.

2. wanted the WE as I have plenty mags for it so no further expence. (got some from the classifieds for my XM177 ages ago)

What do they shoot like?  After falling in love with my WE Apache MP5(s) I feel I need more GBB in my life and there have been a few used WE L85's roll through the classifieds which have been very tempting.

I've literally just got it and only dry fired it, got a nice kick & bloody heavy.

 

That's as detailed a review I can give so far.

Thanks mate, sorry assumed the others on the wall were also WE L85's as you already had the mags. 

 

Interested to hear how you get on with it!!

If you like SCARs the VFC ones are really nice. I have a SCAR-H and a MK20 SSR and they're such nice guns with good kick and noise.

 

 

After abstaining for a while i've bought a couple more NGRS 416s.

 

Another 416 Delta that might stay mostly stock or might get a different handguard in time. We'll see..

 

 

Then a 416c, which i've wanted for a long time with a project in mind.

 

 

 

And a Geissele short handguard to go on it.

Not so much just bought, but certainly new in the last month.  This has more or less instantly become my favourite RIF.  Stock apart from a Waldo Dynamics hop arm.  

 

Was a bit of a basket case when I got it, the manufacturer had managed to glue the hop adjuster shut in their attempt to thread lock it into the upper.  After removing all of that I fitted the Waldo arm and a 4UAD bucking, but got terrible nozzle sticking so swapped back to the original bucking.  Despite that it shoots great.  At my local CQB site I can easily one shot all of the Attack Sense targets dotted around the arena.

After a very brief chrono check today, I suspect it would benefit from an Npas to redirect the gas forward, chrono'd at around 0.6j 261.4fps

Wow, it's usually the other way around with the WE SA80's 🤔 Is it the same NPAS as their M16's? If so, I may have one spare you can have

Thanks but I think I have a spare somewhere, sure I got 2 when I got my XM177.

New gun day. ❤️

Tac 41 lite, it's reputation preceeds it. Beautifully made and well presented in its box. I opted to get the extra 110 shot magazine for aesthetics and functionality, it came with the smaller one already in the box and an extra spring. The quality is evident, especially the aluminium receiver/scope mount. Glad I opted for this rather than the sport version. It's quick and easy to assemble, there's instructions in the box but being a man I didn't need them. Id watched enough YouTube reviews before purchasing to know how to put it together. I'll be purchasing more mags and the recon stock from fire support in the future to give me more flexibility in the field but for now I'm a very satisfied customer. Unfortunately I'm not allowed it till Christmas, so I haven't properly fired it yet but the action is smooth and it all functions perfectly. Can't wait for Christmas. Thanks to impulse and others for the recommendation.
