FIX BAYONETS!!!!!!

LOL, I got one for my M16A1 but the bugger doesn't fit properly.

Nothing too exciting just some ludicrously expensive, and hard to find, bits of plastic. What with the shortage of "heavy" BBs?

Got me some stickers and some Plasti Dip for the tired pick and pluck foam in my gun case. Killed hotel boredom for a bit and gave it some life.

Looking good.. need to redo the foam in mine actually so that I can fit both rifles in.

Got myself some West German field gear, G36 pouches fitted for now but some G3 pouches are on their way.

It's a bit tight on me (must have shrunk in the wash) but should be easy to get altered so I have room to breath or even move.

Feel the need for either another water bottle pouch or 2, and possibly an e-tool pouch, there doesn't seem to be a huge selection of pouches available for this or info about them, a couple of yt vids is pretty much all I could find. If anyone has more info about this PLCE please let me know.

I've had a set of this for years and years.  I actually have two large packs for mine and thus equipped use it for hiking/camping etc.  You need to get the inner, padded hip belt to make it comfy.  The plastic tags inside will hurt like billy-o otherwise after a days game especially if it's a touch loose.  I scavenged my extra pouches from a set in Hooper's Surplus in Norwich.  They are very helpful, give them a call and see what they have left.  Flecktarn UK also had a decent selection of bits, but these are no longer sold by the German govt. as they feared the diplomatic fallout from Kurdish militias buying them and issuing them as kit.  A German filmsim team snap up what appears on E-Bay quite often, but dig and bits can be found.

That would explain why there doesn't seem to much kit for sale, I'm prob more surprised with the lack of modularity... not a huge amount of info on it, whereas there's a ton of info about other nations kit.

Bit of retail therapy today ... TM mk23, 2x spare mags, DTD mk23 holster with molle attachment and some green gas. might try getting out this weekend to break it in.

Cracking choice. Any plans to do a bit of work on it? Classic choice would be a slightly longer inner barrel, hadron designs TDC, I/H plate, and a chopped down suppressor. All somewhat unnecessary of course (especially as you've gone for the excellent TM original), but fun to tinker...!

Undecided, will get some game play with it first. My local RFD sells the upgraded mk23, which was in stock a short while back, but was still saving up and since sold out of both the upgraded model and the parts.

 

I'm not sniping or running DMR, so will see how things go as I use my M4 as main weapon, but like to sit in ambush, so want something I can do sneaky shots with and hope they think it's a sniper further away,

As Lister would say - I would be the average size for a pregnant hippo

Yup, it's exactly what it looks like...

 

Got an odd idea to mould it to the various DPM shapes (copying my windproof smock), rattlecan a black base, cover the black pattern, rattlecan brown, cover etc, etc, etc.

 

Wish me luck.

 

Gonna try it on a two tone M82, if it's a success a two tone G36C is next.
