Now you'll be on the look out for the bulk buy gas offers! 

 

I run a heating and plumbing business.....  I have bought one of those Adapters for plumbing blow torch gas.  Should be with me next week. 😎

Picked up a KAC PDW by Double Bell today. Initial impressions are good as it seems well put together with no creaking or rattles. I'll put up a more detailed post when I've managed to take a good look at it

Just picked up a secondary Glock 27....as a back up for my secondary and a belt clip for my Sheriff loadout!

At the beginning of the year I decided to take the plunge and make a second MWS build. Although I'm really happy with my first, which I run completely stock, standfast a SixG nub and externals, this one I plan on tinkering with a bit. 

 

I started buying parts a few months back, and yesterday the last ones arrived. I'm building a 14.5" SOCOM URG-I from the following purchases:

 

·        TM M4A1 Carbine base

·        HAO Mk16 13.5” handguard

·        HAO SOCOM Daniel Defense 14.5” outer barrel

·        HAO Surefire 4-prong flash hider

·        HAO Geiselle low profile gas block

·        HAO Geiselle Ultra Precision trigger guard

·        HAO SF 556 SOCOM suppressor (hardcore version)

·        Angry Gun Geiselle Airborne Charging Handle

·        Magpul K2+ grip

·        Magpul M-LOK hand stop

·        Magpul SL Stock

·        BavTac MHN

·        Bavtac Titanium Zet Plate

·        BavTac 140% nozzle return spring

·        Blue Force Gear padded VCAS (Olive Drab)

·        Blue Force Gear QD sling swivel x2

·        WADSN metal NGAL

 

I may also add a Magpul BAD lever and some rail covers, but for now Romeo Dunn on the purchasing. 

 

To complete the build I'm going to repurpose a HAO Geiselle Super Precision scope mount, Vortex Crossfire II 1-4x 24 scope and Element Surefire Scout Light M600. Before I start though, I want to get the gun out, box fresh, and run a few hundred rounds through it as is, and measure stock performance, before I start dicking around. 

 

edit - Forgot to add that, as great as the HAO suppressor is, don't buy the Hardcore version like I did. Thing weighs a ton. The cheaper Airsoft version would've been a better choice.

Additional info that may save a sprained wrist

New  boots

Quickly went out and bought some wet weather gear as it's supposed to be horrendous tomorrow. Surplus Goretex DPM jacket and trousers as I couldn't get MTP. Hopefully the Goretex lining has held up all these years and I don't get soaked through. At least skin is waterproof

Grabbed a US style poncho just in case of showers that don't warrant full wets.

@heroshark I found another one.

Over in the land of the free and stopped by Airsoft Atlanta.

[mightyjebus]

well...you can't beat a good airsoft gimmick. Got to say this is more fun than it should be.

 

[Wavey_Gravey]

Interest peaked, what device is that? 

[mightyjebus]

it's called a smoke wolf silencer and I bought it from top boost toys but I won't recommend them. I can't find it anywhere else but maybe you will. it looks like boost have a few other sites with boost in the name so be cautious.

Pros and cons bro?

[mightyjebus]

Pro's: it looks as cool as fuck

with a few shots in semi there's a nice cloud forming at the muzzle but doesn't stink of cordite

the amber light hitting the cloud gives a good flash effect

it has 3 settings for volume and on the 3rd setting it pumps out quite a bit of smoke

 

Con's: it has no practical purpose, a bit like an airsoft gun

it doesn't have an on/off switch, you need to disconnect the battery

it will run out of liquid, even with the 2 supplied bottles with it so a source of liquid will need to be found (mind you 1/16 scale RC tanks use the same liquid for the tank exhaust so shouldn't be hard to find).

It doesn't have a tracer built in which is a shame.

 

on that last point I'm going to fit the internals and a spitfire tracer into a long silencer to make it even cooler, just as soon as I can find the blooming thing.

 

Even with a broken bone in my wrist at the moment, I'm going to fit it to my MK46 recoil on Sunday for shits & giggles.

Let us know how it performs on the mk46. 

As really intrigued.

For future reference, it's actually piqued, not peaked. 

[leadly]

After I nearly bought a stock KC02 to build up gradually, I ended up buying this instead from @Alimcd 

 

 

It's absolutely beautiful!! Can't wait to give it an outing at The MAW on the 10th!

Looks cool. Why wouldn't you recommend the site though?

I have one of those suppressors as well and it is indeed cool. I have mine fitted on my VFC M249.

 

I have fitted a tracer into my one by removing the front cap and replacing it with the front cap of a boneyard Spitfire tracer, then fitting an acetech brighter R (with rear cap removed and some tape to centralise the tracer unit) in the space where the spring normally sits behind the generator.

 

With regards to the fluid, I have read that you can make your own using distilled water and vegetable glycerine, but I have yet to try it myself.  (Or the same fluid for model trains/tanks should work)

 

Used it at AWA Herts the other week, and the  combination of GBB M249 and smoke generator suppressor definately drew a lot of attention

Only issue I had with the website was the tracking number for my order.

 

Initial tracking number didn't work, but I got an email with a new tracking number that did work.  Within a couple of weeks of ordering, I had it in my hands, and no hassle with customs

[mightyjebus]

for those interested.
