      Those are the ones without the D-ring (which I honestly don't need).

      Colour choice will be hard (or not), because I actually mix match my stuff.

      I mostly wear green bottoms and A-Tacs FG top for tournaments and M81 or whatever is clean when playing regular skirmishes.

       

      Nylon is almost always A-Tacs iX + either a OD or genuine MC pack.

      The pouches that will go on the belt are in genuine MC.

      Green every time for me then. It just tends to go with "everything" best and will never look out of place.

      They also have a 20% off for the whole month.

       

      2020 is definitely off for a good start, not much for my wallet tho :P

      Stick to Quavers or monster munch, or just pasta in your case ?

      Filling? Just get them to pull the tooth. No issues with fillings going forwards.

  7. Is it me or there is no reticle?
  8. > be me

    > have some spare cash

      I am getting more and more intrigued by this review, I think I have read it 6 or 7 times already.

      I think I can get it for relatively cheap, and for sure it'll make for a somewhat nice variation to the standard, boring m4.

      ahh yes, forgot you were in italy.

       

      that's the same style as my jg, very handy little gun.

       

      cyma's ak's are good, i certainly wouldnt call it a bad choice (they're the rental gun of choice round here and they seem to hold up to that abuse just fine). of course lct/e&l's exteriors are in a different league but they don't shoot much different.

       

      i'd say go for it, side rail mount with a simple tube optic and a bit of scrim net taped round the stock for padding it's just grand.

      As per my comment on the ATRG review, I had that exact model and it was a beast of a weapon. Needs a few internal bits to improve it but it's built like a tank and is well worth dropping the cash on if it's the kind of thing you're after.

       

      I only got rid of mine because I preferred my SCAR and M4's.

  9. Yeah. I like long guns and anything below 7" is just a large sidearm. And for God's sake companies should stop making 3" barreled rifles
  10. I doubt it'll fit a mk23 shame as it's beautiful and looks rugged..
  11. Opinions on LBX?

    Quality for the price?

    Utter bollox?

      Ive had multiple pairs of Assaulter Trousers from them before. Peruvian I believe.

       

      Good quality - better than you'll need in airsoft.

      Stitching good, pattern correct, feel good to wear.

       

      They do come a bit small in length if its trousers you're going for.

      I was looking at their Assaulter Belt, I know the Armatus II is a great bit of kit but I can't find any info on the belt.

  12. Where did you buy it from?
  13. Absolutely retarded idea, but.

     

    What if I mod a pair of jeans to accept Crye style knee pads?

      I'd like a bit of variety in my airsoft clothing choices.

      M81 is bae, A-Tacs FG works great in my area (along with RG) but a more "civilian" looking kit wouldn't be bad to have. Maybe with a ranger green shirt thrown in.

    3. Adolf Hamster

      Maybe just a pair of builders trousers? Civ look but eminently practical

      I wear my bike jeans (Rokker Revolutions), which have concealed D3O pads in the knees and hips and are also waterproof. Highly recommended, if a bit pricey.

  14. My ARP9 got a touch of makeup.
  15. ARP externals have been delivered. The rail is utter crap though.
  16. Ares airsoft.

    FUCK.

    YOU.

     

    You useless piece of trash company.

     

    Can't even make a proper fucking handguard.

      Oh, don't worry. I won't. Lesson learned.

      AK47frizzle

      have you tried barrel nut shims or thread lock?

    4. Skara

      Skara

      shims are useless (at least in my case). Thread lock would be an option but I haven't got any atm.

       

      I mean, those small pieces of plastic are fine, they do their job and they're free, but I know it's not a definitive solution.

  17. Sum externals for the ARP (barrel extension and 9" M-Lok handguard) Should be here tomorrow
  18. That feeling when the person you asked a small technical question to is deliberately ignoring you.

    1. Skara

      Skara

      Yeah.

      I just want to know the inner diameter of a M-Lok handguard. Takes literally 30 seconds to unpack one, measure it and put it back in the box.

  19. Yo @Steveocee, you just ended up on Instagram in a KM name and shame post.

      "I'm surprised at the response, feels very forceful when he could have ignored me."

       

      It's his new double-hard-bastard persona that he's trying to monetise.  I pity him, really, but the sooner he's banned from every site in the UK the better.

      Who uses Twitter over Instagram? People who read books with words not pictures ?.

       

      If you have a privileged place on a platform, inspire people and you'll equally lift yourself as you lift others. Troll followers will turn on troll leaders in time as a newer more toxic troll emerges. This clickbait will dry out as each video becomes more indistinguishable from the last.

  20. Sorry for double quoting you. I have just ran a quick test during lunch break. Semi & full auto with a 7.4v LiPo. Misfires happen with both the 300rnd stick high cap and the CA X9 midcaps. With the latter I have to literally move the magazine back and forth to make it feed. Also tested the drum mag and it seems to be feeding properly. I have noticed that most of the misfires are actually double feeds, DOES THIS MEAN THE NOZZLE IS TOO SHORT? Shall I order 3-4 different nozzles and try them out? or is there a quicker/less expensive fix?
  21. I'll swap rubbers then, and hopefully test it on Saturday.
  22. Another quick question, yet again sorry in advance for not posting in red but I just can't do it on the phone. I am having some misfeeds with the ARP. It's not a mag problem, as I get them with the Drum, the standard crappy high cap and CA X9 midcaps. Every now and then one bb gets "peed" out. In some rare cases it appears the gun completely skips a bb (but chambers it on the very next cycle). I have replaced the broken stock nozzle with an identical one. I have also swapped the crappy G&G blue rubber with a prommy blue (swapping nubs too obviously). I am going to swap rubber to a G&G green one (with the internals sanded because I want to retain the flat hop setup). Could it be that the nozzle and the Prometheus rubber lips aren't compatible? Could it be a nozzle that is too long?
  23. Is anyone in the Sniper Ops Facebook group?

     

    If so, is it me or the content posted in said group is getting lamer and lamer every day?

    1. sonofsammo

      Seems the same as usual to me.

      Only with a small uptick in pro kmcs posts.

      I don't have Facebook (trust me your life is better without it) but is every video titled "ghillie sniper destroys entire team gets banned and cheater punished" ?

      I only use it for those "XX owners" groups that are actually useful.

       

      It's more like the quality of posts and answers.

       

      And of course all the KM fanboys literally switching off their brains whenever the almighty God of being above the rules posts something.

  24. That is true, and I still firmly believe some San Marino shops deserve to burn and their owners being hanged from their testicles. Over the years some of my teammates had a number of bad experiences with some of SM shops, including not having a proper return policy, trying to avoid free repairs/replacements still within warranty, and one of them literally got scammed to shit when he paid €300+ for a TM G3 SAS and received a TM cardboard box with a 2nd hand JG g3 inside (no, that ain't bullshit, I was there when the guy received the package and opened it). Decided to take a leap of faith with Softair Games after reading about Asomodai having received what he ordered in a short time. Ordered some striker parts + a ETU upgrade kit and it got delivered within 24 hours, everything was in perfect shape. So yeah, SG is excluded from the "shops that deserve extinction" list. for now. For all the other stuff I need, I have my trusty Emperion ❤️ which also sends free patches with each order
