Not sure about the F226 but the screw holes are in a differant position on my F228 than the ones on my TM P226 as i was going to fit the TM grips to it but i cant do this now so might be worth checking the line up before buying. curlyboy

Yes the F228 is full metal frame and slide etc curlyboy

They had a few but not many they might still have some but you might have to ring or e mail them to confirm. Curlyboy

I got the the WE F228 full metal from last weekenders GZ event, it is a nice weight of pistol and does take TM mags (although they stick down a bit) it has a nice kick but i have noticed it did go off once when i put it in its holster i did not touch the hammer or trigger but it has not done it since so hopefully it is an isolated incident. One little niggle i have with it is that it does not have the three point sight system of the P226 but has one white dot on the front sight and thats it which if you use the sights it is a little annoying. curlyboy

I used a OD CIRAS over my MARPAT woodlands for a while and it looks ok but is not 'real' as far as look goes. curlyboy

Here's a few pics from last weekend, thought i would give the woodlands a bash. curlyboy

A little experiment for a early noughties USMC loadout but needs more puches and not sure on the layout. curlyboy

My new TM Glock 17 My Old KSC Glock 17 curlyboy

I have the tan version of this vest and it is a life saver when it gets hot, also for £25 they are very sturdy. curlyboy

I agree get genuine off e bay it is awesome and a millions times better than the bulle stuff (obviously). But dont wash the genuine stuff with detergent just follow the washing tag. curlyboy

For plastic pistols the TM guns are very rugged, the M9 does feel a little flimsy but i have had metal one's and they feel fragile as well (especially the safeties) and the plastic one i have is fine but i use a real Serpa holster so the only time i have to worry about damage is if i drop it and thats why it is on a lanyard but i have not had anything break off any pistols in over 4 years of pretty intense skirmishing and they were mostly all plastic. As long as you have a good holster that holds the pistol and it does not bounce up and down when running or the pistol is loosely held that

To be honest i would not bother changing to a full metal kit i did this with my P226 and the performance of the gun has been nothing but disapointing so much that i bought another plastic standard one which is both reliable and accurate, also dont worry about the body breaking as my plastic one has seen loads of abuse and with the exception of a couple of scratches it works as well as it did the day it came out of the box. I also have a TM M9 and they are pretty rugged and would only break if you threw it onto concrete repeatedly which you are unlikely to do in a forest during a skirmish.

My TM M1911A1 & TM M.E.U. curlyboy

The M16A4 is made by the US FN subsidiary so is a FN weapon, it also has FN stamped on the reciever in big letters. It is a KALASH/D boys. Better picture of the trades A link to the real steel http://www.fnmfg.com/products/m16fam/m16a4.htm curlyboy

My two helmets curlyboy

A quick update, i am currently switching helmets to a MICH which i find more comfortable than that cheaper viper PAGST copy. Woodland MARPAT Desert MARPAT curlyboy

I have now had 2 shotguns in 2 months not bad going i think but now i have a TM M3 Super 90 far better than its DE clone that died after a week of use. curlyboy

My AR's ICS M4 CQB-R Same with my ICS M4A1 Kalash M16A4 All together

The metal on the body looks like whatever they make clones out of, it looks good quality with no marks or defects i can see. All in all the gun weighs (with an empty mag and no battery) about 4kgs so almost on par with the real one. curlyboy

One of my favourite recent photo's. curlyboy

Unfortunately no it does not have burst it is normal full auto. Sorry DyNo! but i only open my guns up if something breaks but the good news is you dont need to change the hop rubber as it shoots great with the stock one. curlyboy

It is a full metal body as is most of the gun which gives it a great weight. curlyboy

My only SMG. curlyboy

Yes, the issue i have with the body is not the overall colour but the finish of the paint which is not that good if you look carefully at the bottom but one photograph you can see where the paint on especially the upper reciever is not that well applied. But for the money and performance it is a good buy. curlyboy
