The 'What have you just bought' Thread

[Scott Tennett]

RPK from CYMA. Got a drum mag as well. Planning on cutting down the outer barrel and if exposed the inner barrel for a Rhodesian SAS loadout. Should look cool. Any tips on barrel cutting minus using a metal work hacksaw?

Make sure if you cut the inner barrel you either buy a new correct length one, or crown the cut down one with the correct tool; otherwise your BB’s will he be randomly deflected about by the end. I did it on a rifle and took me ages to work out what was wrong ?

you need to be using a tool like a lathe to finish the end of the barrel.

 

you'd be as well buying a new, shorter, inner barrel rather than trying to cut.

My first pew pew! Been playing with it in the garden and consistently doing 335fps on the chrono, hopefully it being an Ares I've got one of the rare ones that work ?

 

You really do fall down a rabbit hole after buying your first gun...... batteries, chargers, sights, mags....

 

My bank looking at me like....

 

 

Good news is that I will get to skirmish it on the 12th Sept.

Took my final delivery of ZenitCo bits from Russian this morning, small amount of filing on the mock gas tube and dishes are done.

 

Taken months to get it all together, but I love this angry little bastard.

@alxndrhll That's the best looking AK I've seen in a while. Well done... ?

 

I bet it weighs a tonne though for such a little gun...?

Ta very much, though I can't take credit for the vast majority of the work for fitting things. Let's just say if it was a girl I'd say they were 'bubbly'.

After a long hiatus I'm going to try and attend some events so I got myself some Asolo fugitive GTX boots (£36 on eBay!) and a new Plate Carrier setup from a local shop. Pretty stoked to try out the boots as I've never owned a top quality pair before.

[GothicGhost]

New plate carrier, very nice quality supper happy

Just need the fake plate inserts now to fill it out.

 

[Davegolf]

Ive got 2x 3kg training plates if you are interested

 

 

PS love a bit of Greenzone, although i dont like everyone else using it

This is wildwood but so close to GZ I got some GZ pouchs coming to go with it

[Davegolf]

GZ rip off ?

[GothicGhost]

Yeah ?

I don't understand why Helikon focus on WW instead of GZ now.

I like them both but would like to have options in both.

[leadly]

 

Oh yes, the last two bottles my mate had in stock!

Yeh I feel the GZ works so well because of the contrast between shapes, whereas WW and BL are a bit samey all over.

Hao mk16 rail and a tool to install it.

My first purchase from Warhead Industries in the UK, hopefully my next will be a brushless motor for a DMR build...

... and it's identical in size etc. to same spec Nurpol batteries I've bought but £5 less (and they do a few others, so maybe a good alternative to HobbyKing when they have nothing in their UK warehouse?).

the warhead motors are defo a step up, especially for semiauto.

 

bit delicate with the contacts but the pickup speed is defo noticable.
