Davegolf Posted February 6, 2023 Share Posted February 6, 2023 I generally put swiss cheesed aluminium tube up through the centre of them, then you can pack whatever foam you like around it. Impulse 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone know a good way to fill this with foam? Foam pipe lagging? wont to much to absorb sound, but to be fair- most of the noise from that comes from the actual mechanics working of the gbbr system and gas escaping through the ejection port when recoiling Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funnily enough, looking around I've found trampoline pole foam covers appear to be the right size (about 4.5cm diameter), so going to order some and try it.

Popular Post alxndrhll Posted February 6, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted February 6, 2023 Probably close to record time for me receiving a stock MWS and quickly making it not stock. Very much a placeholder build from the bits box while waiting on parts to arrive. Very mayo, but as 'functionality' goes I've found an 11.5 URGI hard to beat.

alxndrhll Posted February 7, 2023 Share Posted February 7, 2023 Sometimes you just have to full send on something you've been considering for a fair while. This was one of those times. Impeccable service from Red Wolf, HK to my door in 5 days. Should be a fun build, placeholder didn't last long 😅.

Davegolf Posted February 7, 2023 Share Posted February 7, 2023 Be careful with fitting the trigger pack, had a customer saying its extremely tight / slightly out of spec, got it stuck solid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did they happen to use an aftermarket trigger box? Stock one slid in entirely fine, tight enough to stay put. A touch looser than in the stock receivers, taking the trigger box out of the stock receiver is always my least favourite part of working on the MWS!

Entirely possible, with it being cerakoted I imagine the paint has a lot to do with variance in how tight thing are/aren't. Very impressed by the kit on the whole, just waiting on a can to arrive from HK to finish it. Did end up opting for the Inline Arisaka mount which arrived today. May well swap the sling out for a Trex Arms one, like the look of the AOR1 one but prefer the functionality of the Trex. Will post up some nicer photos once the can has arrived 👌 Wavey_Gravey, Nick G, Davegolf and 4 others 4 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Congrats, that's a beast of a gnu Can I ask a quick question about Redwolf? Given you've just had a great experience with them, I thought I'd check to see how much 3 mags would be for my 416. Even with the hellish airmail cost, it totals $166 / £138 which comfortably undercuts the prices available here (as there's bugger-all stock to pick from). Are there any hidden costs, like tax, customs, handling fees, and currency charges that'll kill off the saving? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are there any hidden costs, like tax, customs, handling fees, and currency charges that'll kill off the saving? It's broken down here if you care to read through, some couriers will also add their own fee for 'processing' if memory serves correctly but that seems to have no real rhyme of reason to it (I recall UPS feeling particularly steep in that regard). Whenever I order from overseas I assume I'm going to get hit by the applicable additional fees. Purely anecdotally I don't think I've had to pay any additional fees on anything I've ordered since COVID, but don't take that as me saying you'll be fine go for it. Also depends how honest the seller is on their declaration, in this instance RW were entirely honest on the value of goods on the form. It's always a gamble, if I'd got hit on this particular parcel it would have cost me somewhere between an extra £150-£180. But this was for something I could only find from HK sellers so it was accpt the costs or simply don't have it at all, in my head that additional cash was already spent so I very much got lucky.

ghostwalker Posted February 9, 2023 Share Posted February 9, 2023 Just picked up a set of British aircrew ubacs and combat bottoms in mtp. With my history of setting myself on fire with my own grenade, the subsequent burn hole in my atacs ix ubacs and a tear in my atacs ix trousers. It was time for some new stuff. On the plus side its also flame retardant. Which tbe gut at hoopers surplus was more than happy to point out amongst all our giggling at me explaining the story.

Supporters TheFull9 Posted February 9, 2023 Supporters Share Posted February 9, 2023 It'll vary on the exact model, but every UK aircrew UBACS I've seen (owned a couple, wore one in the desert after scrounging it on det) has 2 layers to at least half the torso with the inner layer being pretty thick. They're actually more suitable for the cooler months of anything - just for info for planning. FR stuff generally will fade faster and often is a little more prone to tears, though the MTP issued stuff does seem better than the american Drifire kit I've got in the latter regard. But if you weren't already, just try and wash inside out in the shortest wash that gets it clean. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
