UKARA finally sorted and tri-shot spring shotgun arrived   Looks pretty snazzy, pump feels pretty stiff.  I'll give it a little test later on today in the garden, hopefully it's somewhat accurate.  Looking forward to taking it out on Sunday.

Nice, I have just ordered a cyma tri-shot myself as a backup gun.

 

My first cyma shotty still going strong year's later.

Good to hear they're pretty robust. I just tried it out and it's so much fun 😀

I couldn't get my chronograph to do anything sensible though, is there a trick to dealing with tri-shots and chrono?

Most places don't bother chrono testing spring tri-shots but you could try loading a shell with one BB.

Good shout, infact it was me being a numpty with the chrono that was really at fault..

Single .25 went through at 313 FPS so I suppose it depends how the site deal with them as you say

Impulse101 continues to put most retailers to shame, Japan to my door in 4 days.

Got all the ingredients together for the unsuspecting ventilator (vol 2).

 

Managed to get it all within the UK much to my surprise.

Ordered some reliable TM VZ61 magazines to use with my JG VZ61 which performed awesomely on my last skirmish day (apart from the mags randomly double feeding) and some viper vx gear arrived so it all matches my russian kit as my 6SH117 vest couldnt fit any VZ61 mags and I want something alot more lightweight!

Just bought a WE M14EBR, spent half a month searching for it and finally got it.

Is that similar to 2 weeks?

After about 3 months of panicking that I'd be out of work this week, I got a new contract.  So 2 days later I bought another gun
It's a Classic Army Scarab ABR
Just a boneyard special from Action Hobbies but I do have to say it's rather splendid so far...

 

For a paltry £100 I've got a backup gun that might get some prime-time use - it's full metal, solid as a rock, got a high speed motor so really is at the "20's Plenty" 'plus' end of the scale... 13" barrel, programmable ETU with burst fire.  So basically it scratches my 'buy another Double Eagle M90x gun' itch, but that's less than half the price.

I took the upper receiver off and removed the bright blue paintwork (see my two-tone thread for details), and I've been really impressed by the way the gun was put together.  It's very well engineered.   Very solid outer barrel is well braced within the monolithic upper receiver.
The metal hop unit and stock rubber seem to be lifting the 0.32's I tried in it... I'll confirm that with some more testing tomorrow.

 

The only two issues are 
1) The battery goes inside the foregrip, so no room for chunky stuff.  And you need Allen keys to undo the two bolts so won't be easy mid-game

2) The gun doesn't like my Lonex flash mags.   There's too much forward and backward play in the mag well, so the gun will double-feed or not feed at all sometimes.  It's entirely fixable with some shimming inside the mag well, but I'm not quite sure how I'll achieve that yet.

I just received an Action Army 90° Piston and Zero Trigger for my TM L96.  Both are working perfectly, although just an FYI for anyone else looking to upgrade the trigger the safety doesn’t work at all; there’s no safety bar on the trigger (obvious in the photos when you’ve got the original trigger unit and the new one next to each other).

 

I also bought a Tasmanian Tiger Essentials Pack II 9L to feed my TT addiction.

A lovely MP5 AVS placard put together for me by Andy at TacBelts, and finally took the plunge the on 3AC Cobra kit for the FCPC. So far, so good.

Those pouches are exactly what I’m looking for, but in OD!

Just shoot Andy a message on Facebook (Tacbelts UK) or Instagram (@tacbelts_uk) and I'm sure he'd be happy to oblige should the feeling take you.

It's closer to a fortnight.

Properly cool 3D Printed SF can specifically made for carrying a tracer unit. Now the SD is on the way I’m not sure how much it’ll get used, but a great solution for running a tracer that doesn’t look really shit or add half a kilo or so to the business end of a rif. The 14mm thread that winds onto the end of your outer barrel is a metal inlay which seems like a very smart decision. Overall, impressed.

Pressie to myself, Elliot Brown Holton Professional. Solid build, clicky bezel and comfortable strap.

[Speedbird_666]

Walked into the Super5ves 'showroom' in Lee-On-Solent....walked out with this lot*:

 

 

They have a decent range of stock with friendly and helpful staff. It's more like an Argos than a proper 'showroom' - but the staff are happy to grab anything from their warehouse and the prices are pretty competitive too. Worth a visit if you can get to it.

 

*The Dye I5's are my son's latest purchase.

Regretting selling my hk45 so I've just taken delivery of another one 😁

 

Also some aip sights for my 4.3

 

 

[alxndrhll]

Zero to 100 in record time on this one. Am I very much aware that it hurts resale value in most cases? Yes. Do I care? No.

After (less than an hour from it arriving 👀😞

@alxndrhllmy god it's sexy though. 

 

That is the only mp5 that could sway me......are you going to do the inverted peq and the vert grip?

Nah, should I ever take the leap and get NVs I'd likely pick up one fo the B&T Tri-rail mounts to run an NGAL/PEQ on... if for no other reason than I suspect you'd be making getting batteries in and out a nightmare if you were to do the rail/grip mod. Truthfully I think it'll remain untouched, already braced ready for the 'heresy' chants as is 😂.
