It says they don’t have a carrier to ship to my address. (I don’t think anyone in the UK can order) messaged them on Facebook and after 2 days they replied with a generic fix that I had already tried before messaging them. Messaged again asking if I could just give them the order on messenger and send to their PayPal. Another 2 days later they said yes. Gave them my order and my address. Message was viewed and not answered. Sent them a message every day for over a week. They’re just viewed and ignored. When it’s physically impossible to throw money at a company, then It’s time to shop elsewhere. Duff 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sonofsammo Posted March 10, 2018 Share Posted March 10, 2018 (edited) As my little foray into magazine holding stocks failed miserably, I changed the problem I was trying to solve - easy access to ammo. Have just received a nice Condor recon rig, with a VT holster and hydration pack that clips into the chest rig. The chest rig holds 6 M4 mags and 6 pistol mags, so that should be plenty. And the hydration pack will fit a can of gas, spare BBs, speed-loader etc. Have had a play with the holster and it'll fit both my 18c and mk23, which is cool. It won't take the mk23 with its suppressor though - however, I'll only be using it outdoors, so can't see that being too much of a problem. Have also received my angry gun sling plate. However, annoyingly, the castle nut wrench has not arrived, so I can't put it on for tomorrow. The only sling mount point I have is on the end of the stock, so I'll have to be careful! *Edit* - and the Condor stuff is all going back. Well made and sturdy, but feels very unbalanced and hurts my back a great deal fully loaded. Back to the drawing board.

No way did you just order all of that? I spent 40-50 quid on a new 'casual' set up and thought I was taking the piss having just finished my imitation set up.

Supporters Popular Post TheFull9 Posted March 12, 2018 Supporters Popular Post Share Posted March 12, 2018 Well I'm an armourer and a camo collector, I occasionally skirmish as an aside but the collecting is my 'thing'. £30 worth of ex surplus uniform is mooore than sufficient to play airsoft comfortably in most conditions, been saying that to folks for many years. However I got in to this lark in 2003 and it started as just playing the game, but I found (after a while) that what I personally enjoyed much more than the game was collecting and subsequent photography, writing, reviewing and reading/learning about how different kinds of gear are made; then how they might apply to the military and to all sorts of outdoorsy type hobbies. I think airsoft is a great lark as a game and a social, but I don't buy gear 'for' the game anymore, haven't for a long time. I don't wanna go in to my life or my finances because that'd be weird, but I've got a fair few years service done, lived in the barrack block the whole time in a teeny room eating the mess food. I've been to a couple of places to accrue a few bonuses as well, then just done a lot of saving my whole career, never owned a flash car etc. That's my approach to stuff, and I like it, I'm making roads towards maybe working for a company who makes good kit for the forces one day once I'm out, so I can put what I know in to something that could hopefully benefit folks who really put their necks out in bad places. That's a little way off still, for now I just love collecting what more can I say. clumpyedge, LightningCh, Georgeturner2001 and 6 others 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm toying with getting one.... Just buy it they are fantastic, super quick release and it can hold all its glory (suppressor and LAM) the one in the previous post though is the newer version, plate at the back is different to the one i have. Don't know if the plastic they use is better now either? I took a pretty bad fall on mine and its all cracked got electrical tape holding it together now moral of the story is....don't slide on your gear!

Arwen Posted March 13, 2018 Share Posted March 13, 2018 ^^^ that's what I am slightly concerned about with mine... I do tend to sneak around in trenches and lay down on crests to hide from folk. Toying with not using the suppressor during outside games as I'm a bit scared of getting it caught on something and it bending/snapping off Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only done woodland site not really had any problems with anything catching. Would possibly be better if it was molded though instead of printed as I think the printed layers seem to be a "structral Weakness" to me.

I just know it only comes in black because of the material used now lol. 4 hours ago, Tormen7ed said: snip Would possibly be better if it was molded though instead of printed as I think the printed layers seem to be a "structral Weakness" to me. 3D printing always has weakness in the layers. But too be brutally honest the layers on these holsters is really damn good so the chance of it breaking like that don't seem too high... Well unless you slide on your gear lol My holster sits just above my waist as its on my sniper rig. So im not likely to go snapping it through sliding and stuff anyway lol, so not too worried about it. But there is a load of flex in that backplate when you pull it, yet its sturdy enough to keep it all upright even when you have a lam, suppressor, and loaded mag in.

Arwen Posted March 13, 2018 Share Posted March 13, 2018 Bit the bullet and paid the silly price tag for a real magpul mlok swivel mount to replace my zip tie. Seems extortion for such a small part, but it does work and function very well. Now just need to decide on a new qd sling... Decisions decisions! sonofsammo, GothicGhost and Wo1f 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supporters TheFull9 Posted March 13, 2018 Supporters Share Posted March 13, 2018 They do make an M-LOK piece that's just a metal look so anything can snap on, that's my preferred option I have to say personally. I appreciate some folks like QDs though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arwen Posted March 13, 2018 Share Posted March 13, 2018 I am aiming to get rid of the clip on the sling, as I hate the way it rattles against the rail (they are both metal). I was just going to unpick the stitches and sew another qd swivel/clippy thing on, but the new one I bought doesn't fit right... and I've just notice the sling is begin to fray at the other end... so new sling time I think! sonofsammo 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arwen Posted March 14, 2018 Share Posted March 14, 2018 Which clone did you get @Wo1f? I got this cheap one of amazon. It came with its own mount (not mlok) , which it fits into fine. But a slight pull and it jumps out of the magpul one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
