theSwede Posted May 29, 2023 Share Posted May 29, 2023 (edited) Found a used TM G18C for a good price so decided to do a G18C build after the summer. Also found that there’s not many aftermarket slides left out there for this particular gun. But today this beauty landed from Japan after some minor hazzle with swedish customs. The Nineball ”Eckesachs” slide. Some kind of carbonfibre abs mixture with metal reinforcements. Superlight and very sexy. Can’t wait for autumn so I can get the rest of the parts and start the build.. Worth waiting for.. Edited May 29, 2023 by theSwede Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RostokMcSpoons Posted June 1, 2023 Share Posted June 1, 2023 Nothing spectacular but a very useful little bundle from Action Hobbies' boneyard... Two sets of camo knee pads. Lower face mask. Pistol lanyard. MTP baseball cap. Bolle glasses. Green snood with mouth protection. Green balaclava. All for a tenner. I only really wanted the kneepads to replace my current ones bought from Screwfix, as the straps are showing the strain, but the other bits could be useful, especially if I take friends along. The Bolle glasses won't get used in-game but are ideal for casual use when doing DIY etc And I bought a pair of MTP combat trousers as my current ones are very faded.

EDcase Posted June 2, 2023 Share Posted June 2, 2023 (edited) Not going to buy any more pews... DAMIT! I really like the Barry Burton style M9 pistol but its too expensive so I found a cheapo version... The HFC HG193 from the shop that shall not me named. (Was on offer for £99.99 and its the new all metal version. Note the hole in the hammer) It took some tinkering with the internals. (The hop rubber wasn't seated properly and a bit of the slide benefited from some filing) When I got it the fps was 260 but after my tinkering its up to 300fps It now shoots really well (for a cheapo gun) (It does have adjustable hop with a grub screw) The compensator unit is easy to remove with one screw underneath but still holds well with no wobble as it slides onto the rails of the frame underneath. So its easy to convert into a 92X Performance model. (Have to ignore the stupid engraving tho) After my usual treatment of a new pew 😉 I also added some extra weight to the front. Its now a nice hefty 1.14Kg Edited June 2, 2023 by EDcase Dan Robinson and Tackle 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted June 2, 2023 Share Posted June 2, 2023 I bought a clone 1-6x Vortex Razor. I compared it directly to my RS 1-8x Strike Eagle. I haven’t seen how it holds zero yet, but eye relief, glass clarity and zoom at 6x are very similar. Ignore any milkyness, it’s light getting in the back of the scopes whilst trying to snap a picture. First reticle/glass is the Strike Eagle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rj1986 Posted June 3, 2023 Share Posted June 3, 2023 (edited) So after completely forgetting about this pistol for about 10 years after longing for it for ages: I was Googling WA SVI’s, trying to find a price for mine to sell at an airsoft boot sale last weekend, and went down a small rabbit hole of other WA pistols - setting off multiple old memories of pre VCRA days. Then at said boot sale, a van pulls up directly opposite me and what do you think they have… WA Colt Delta Elite. I think it was a sign that I had to buy it.

Smiling-Dutchman Posted June 3, 2023 Share Posted June 3, 2023 Bought a Perun, G&G ETU for my rifle as the old one kinda broke. This one has much more modes in the settings which I've been playing around with. Looking forward to testing it tomorrow. Skullchewer 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Aiden Chen Posted June 3, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted June 3, 2023 (edited) My VFC LAR/FAL DX version landed in UK in late April, customs had it for 5 weeks. After the long and painful waiting, it finally arrived this week. Pretty confident it's the first DX FAL arrived in UK or even Europe. Shame that customs wanted to have more fun with it before I could get hold of The difference between the normal version and DX is the special wooden box, proper trades and every part of metal made of steel. Might be a bit overpriced but I'll pay for that as a super FAL fan Edited June 3, 2023 by Aiden Chen TheFull9, PopRocket123, SilentSparky and 9 others 6 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supporters sp00n Posted June 5, 2023 Supporters Share Posted June 5, 2023 Finally managed to track down a KSC M93r optic mount (wayyy to expensive, but the only option that I liked) …. My finished “bad guy gun” ….. I say finished, but we all know that I had to order a ML EVO3 hop setup 😆 RostokMcSpoons, Skullchewer and PopRocket123 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skullchewer Posted June 5, 2023 Share Posted June 5, 2023 Just gave in and ordered the umarex HK G3 GBBR. My first gbbr. I did some research, talked to my gbbr friends, and then this thread gave me the final push. Should be here tomorrow.

Skullchewer Posted June 8, 2023 Share Posted June 8, 2023 Just went to chrono it and a fly buzzed through the chrono aperture 🤣 Hopping .2 on green gas. I believe the Umarex/VFC is fitted with an NPAS as standard in Europe, so I might break down this beauty and see if we can't tweak that fps a little. Then again I may just leave it for now and see how she performs out of the box. It's a joy to shoot in my barn range, with a very satisfying recoil. Itching to take it out on the field.

RostokMcSpoons Posted June 8, 2023 Share Posted June 8, 2023 A speedloader held at a 45 degree angle is as good as I got with my VFC 416. I bought a 3D printed adapter off eBay that maybe helps a tiny bit Skullchewer 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
