Cheers I've already got a full length M16, so had to get away from that. I was initially going for the PDW / CQB stubby, but this feels a good compromise now I've got it in hand

I did buy it back in the days when dinosaurs walked the earth How much are real ones (like mine) worth now? Maybe I could trade down and fund a new pistol Edit: blimey, I just did a google and the new gen version is £400. I might take it back off and wrap it in swan's down... before depositing it at Fort Knox I'm certainly not going to skirmish it again until I can find a 27mm polycarbonate disc to use as a lens protector! I've got the box in front of me, it was made in 2002

Double Eagle M906C... Yay! Stuck my Kobra red dot on top, because... it's the only red dot I have, but it's cool Notice how Double Eagle can't spell "Marksman" as I guess that's what they wanted to say. Either that or they're great advocates for safety on, and off the field ? First impressions... yowzers! Plugged in a 7.4v 25C lipo via the supplied Tamiya connector and it's shooting very nicely. Will look forward to trying an 11.1 in there. I've just pinged a few shots into my garden so no real idea on accuracy / range / hop etc but all good things, eh? The main thing is it just feels great, so pleased!

Yeah, please keep us updated with the actual results if you do that, as sticking a mock silencer over a long barrel is exactly what I intend to do if I feel out-ranged I do like the look of a suppressor on guns, but only want to do it if there's a tangible gain!

Stock of the 907 models seems to have disappeared at Patrolbase this morning, and the 906's have dropped to just the C version. There are still a selection of 904's but given how quickly the situation changed, their DE stock coverage might well be 'wide and shallow', if you catch my drift. So, damnit, I've been pushed into a corner! I HAD to buy one before someone else got there first! Tell the wife it was a GOOD reason I had to spend the money! M906C on the way tomorrow (I just refreshed the Patrolbase page, I may have nabbed the last 906, there are just two of the longer M904's and a pricier M908 left)

There not much finer recommendation of a gun than buying a second variant of it...!

Two versions have sold out now. Please everyone, stop saying how good they are until I've bought one ??

I've not. The cheapest 906 has now sold out (e version) so I'm now at £170. Seeing as that's very close to the 907 prices I can go for one of those if the 6's sell out. The problem is my wife, frankly ?. If a big box turns up when she's around, she will know I've been spending and there'll be some 'sub-optimal scenarios' started. Or she doesn't see it, then she'll never know the difference to the bank balance (she never has the faintest clue unless I tell her), and she won't tell the difference with my other guns, I'd be fine. But sods law dictates the courier will turn up when I'm in a meeting, and she's home from her part time work, and she'll open the door to it! The alternative approach is I sell a guitar and can point at a wodge of cash I've raised. That will take a week or two though. And I'll have to say goodbye to a lovely guitar ?

I am so very close on buying a DE M90... something. It's probably going to be one of the metal bodied versions, so 906 upwards, as they're starting at £160 at Patrolbase right now. But I need a final bit of advice: I'm looking at the DE site, and the Patrolbase info, and I'm struggling to understand the differences between the 906/907/908 series. I can see there are different barrel lengths, and slightly different flash hiders and rail styles... but is that it? The M906E is cheapest at £160, the M908A the most at £230... that's a big price difference - are they really just cosmetic differences, or is there more to it than that? Hmmm, talking of barrel lengths, I liked the idea of a compact gun, and I was looking at some of the really stubby PDW-style carbines before, but as I have a feeling this is going to be my primary for a while - should I take one of the longer barrel options for woodland combat? Does extra barrel length equate to better effective range on these guns?
