The 'What have you just bought' Thread

There's one of those defogging things in the bundle, exfog it says on it. There's so much stuff it feels like Christmas. 

He has a full face mask, but can't wear it with the helmet. I wear glasses so I want it anyway. I'll look for some decent quality goggles before we go shooting next.

Today's new toys, did a trade for a few of my air rifles with a gentleman from g trader. Absolutely over the moon, my son is ecstatic. All works as he described, and he threw in so many extras. We have hammered thru BBS since we got back. 

And It only cost me 20 quid of diesel and we made a new friend.

Today is a great day.

And I won't be letting him use the mesh goggles, they came in the bundle but I know they are not safe enough. 😆 

Do love a good 416.  Nice haul there bud.

Cheers mate, been a great week. Brought 2 great rifs both off two great lads, both called Sam from here then this lovely bundle.  Heartbreaking parting with my airguns, but I think I got a bargain. 

Me and my son haven't stopped smiling all day. Hammering thru the BBs.

A nice chap by the name of @Aiden Chen has taken my money in exchange for some pretty things... 🙄😂

 

This time in the form of some nice SOTAC Zenitco goodies which are honestly really nice replicas!

 

Sotac Klesch and Perst in Tan and not pictured a black Klesch which I have no need for... Yet

 

Definitely makes the LCT RPK-74 look more fancy... Thinking I need a tan Putnik or something for the front end now 🤔

[Darkmikey22]

Bought back my old LCT PKP, along with a

Lambda mk48 

Lambda L130A1 (7.62 EU version) 

M79

A specna stainless steel inner barrel (apparently the same as fitted to their 'prime' series).  Absolutely shocking - the crowning is so wildly uneven, all shots through it consistently veer wildly off to one side. I'm considering chopping it, and re-crowning - even a DIY job can't be as bad as the current factory finish. Avoid!

So after the disappointment of buying what I thought was a Cyma A4 and it being a WE AEG parts build I figured I'd just suck it up and buy one new

 

Bought the last one in stock from Super5ives, it arrived with only one screw for the heat sink in the pistol grip which was a bit annoying but an easy fix at least.

 

Now I know there's a reasonable priced PEQ replica the Peq-16 will be replaced ASAP 😂

Bit faff this one. 

Probably 15-20 years ago I had a warrior assault systems od 901 with built in mag pouches ( similar to the weesatch)and after I got rid of it I had a TAS 901 exactly the same in Cb .. 

Fast forward to the last month or so been looking for another set. Turns out the 901 does not have built in mag pouches 🤔 ( fecking did I had 2 and remembered it listed in shops ) 

 

Anyway seen this so called tas "vest" on ebay .. so made sure to grab it. Hidden in the small print in a bunch of text was " no belt or straps)..

🤬 it's literally just the front panel lol and to rub salt in all the bungees are perished.

I chopped a barrel down and re-crowned it late Saturday night ready for game day on Sunday and got an almost factory finish using a large centre drill bit to get the crown shape and a chamfer tool to smooth out the chatter marks. Easy as pie and took about 10 mins all in. Filing the notches larger to fit in the hop unit took considerably longer.

 

I'll snap a pic tomorrow of the crown and bits used. 

 

You'll need a proper chamfering bit for metal on a stainless barrel, I got away with a wood tool as it was a plated brass barrel.

Sounds encouraging! did you do this with a pillar drill or a hand held drill?

Got this today from JD Airsoft.

One of many KS-1's appearing this week...

God it's ugly 🤢

I don't think the lighting is doing it any favours there

[ButcherBill]

Or my dodgy phone

With my Sixmm order arriving, the m14 scope mount looks great; will put that away with the TNT hop unit for when I do the WE m14 project...

 

However, to nobody's surprise, they sent me the wrong bloody springs, so now I need to source some G&G m700 gas router springs for my 6 short magazines that I'm upgrading to (hopefully) be usable. The stock KJW m700 short magazines are awful out of the box, but with the upgraded gas router spring and the upgraded strikers and internals they're supposed to be really good. Got the internals sorted, now just need those springs!

Hand held cordless, I've snapped a pic of the bits I used too.

 

It's not perfect as the chamfer tool is too steep angled to perfectly smooth it all out but it's a bloody good job for 10 mins work and worked really well on the Sunday. With a 4uantum bucking and nub I was getting 60-70m range on .3

Went on a pyro spree…

X10 EG67 pea grenade wire pull

X10 FBS MK5 pea grenades wire pull

X20 MK5 FBS ThunderFlash

X10 FBS Thermobaric multi bangs

Not directly bought, but £10 worth of raffle tickets secured this.  The plan is to throw them all at the Lad next time we play together.

Picked up the M700 box of parts that was selling on here recently. Should be a fun project getting it up and running!

Got it before I could. Was going to get it purely so I could have a takedown version in my collection, but I've heard they can have issues when it comes to performance. Keep us posted how it goes!

Thank you for grabbing that. I didn't need another project and that one was calling my name

[Lyndication]

Haha, I've heard a lot about these both good and bad, but I do love a teching challenge.

 

I may see if I can build it as a non-Takedown version but well see. I'm still stripping it down to clean and grease it. So much gunk, metal shavings, and dirt, but hey that's what I expected tbf.

 

Bargain price if I get it running well. A few steel aftermarket parts in there as well, including most of the bolt.

That would have been my plan. I asked about the takedown model when one came up for sale before and everyone was saying they're more trouble than they're worth as the takedown fittings wear out 

[Lyndication]

It seems to lock up well ATM but it's pot metal lugs so I don't have huge faith in the long term
