My new M4’s top is the Specna Arms E04 Edge Model. It’s a pretty bog standard M4 CQBR in terms of looks but for the money it’s a real bargain and looks like a far more expensive version with some great features inc a GATE X-ASR mosfet hard wired in.
The middle one is the new PTS Radian Weapons Model One GBBR based on the KWA LM4 system. Until I got this I was of the opinion that the Marui MWS was the best GBBR out of the box. The model one is better build than some real AR’s I’ve seen and handled! It’s an absolute beauty with great billet receivers and custom rail giving it an almost monolithic appearance.
Fianlly it’s another PTS gun. This time the first release in their legacy series. A gun that was patented but never put into production; the N23. It makes a XM177 look really big! The N23 is tiny and the OEM is G&P so it utilises the new i5 gearbox and the usual G&P quality externals. It’s not to everyone’s tastes so I christened it the mARmite gun. Will only work if you use a 11.1v battery and it’s an absolute blast to shoot.

My little family of M4’s as it stands today. The top is a TM MWS and the bottom three are all ERG’s.

Nothing really special but my latest pistol. A TM SIG P226E2. Lovely little gun and it continues my TM love in when it comes to GBB pistols.
Mused to have a P226 but found it a bit bulky. The new grip profile fits me perfectly though.

Here’s my warrior DCS plate carrier with trident training plates to add some rigidity to it.all the pouches and the holster are also warrior bar the hanger pouch and utility pouch. Works really well and distributes the weight perfectly and isn’t too bulky or restrictive either. It’s my go to rig now unless it’s really warm!

My only beretta is the new TM M9. Bit of 80's-90's retro

Well. I didn't get to use it last weekend like I hoped but I Used it yesterday and it was an excellent little pistol. Used it on nuprol red gas and the kick was lovely and snappy and range was good too with blaster .25g BB's.
Very very happy with it. In combination with the Kydex holster I made for it, it was my go to sidearm for the day and will be for the next few games I think.
-
Got my spare mags today ready for a game tomorrow and now I can't make it! So first chance to try the USPc out in anger gone.
-
I got it to 124cm at its shortest.
-
Will do mate. Just gonna have tea and then I'll do it afterwards.
-
Yes!!! Mags ordered. Hopeful that they'll arrive in the next week or so so I can use it in June.
-
Yep. Leave it stock then it will continue to work for ages. ????
-
I tried to get the base plate off but it wouldn't budge. I did put the other base plate in the mag well and it looked quite good but not "classic" USPc if you know what I mean. It also wasn't as comfy.
-
Would anyone mind taking a pic that owns one with the flat baseplate attached to see what that looks like?
Sorry had to build a wardrobe so haven't had a chance yet. I'll try to do it in a bit.
-
Will do tomorrow. For gas I'm using abbey 144a and have not had a problem filling the mag at all. Yes, it vents a little at first but it's always filled okay. No extension tube needed or anything like that.
-
it is, yes. I tend to keep it the same length though so somewhere in the middle. it isn't as easy as something like the MS3 or a Vickers BFG sling but it doesn't have a pull tab on the sliders so its a little more involved but for less than thirty quid Im more than happy with it.
-
Did a quick test fire in my garden which is rough 70' from the patio door to the bottom most corner. The BB's easily reached it when the hop had been dialled in. It was a blast to shoot even on 144a. It emptied the mag and locked back once it was empty.

I recently got a TM Scar H recoil and rather than using my usual magpul MS3 I wanted something with some padding to help with the extra weight compared to my usual M4 load outs.
I've known about intelligent Armour (IA) for a while now and I've seen the quality of their belts and pouches, which are all made here in the UK using high quality parts and materials.
Browsing their website I happened upon a multicam padded two point sling that looked just right and it was only £28 inc P&P.
The sling is very well constructed out of genuine 500D multicam cordura and the stitching is excellent.
There are two methods of attaching it to the weapon. You can use either HK style metal clips which are sturdy as hell or fabric loops ideal for say an M16. You can easily swap between the fittings with the high quality fastex buckles. In theory you could use the HK clips on one gun and re fabric loops on another and then just use the one sling between two guns. I opted for the HK style clips.
The padding is a good size and thickness and in a quick test on the scar it felt very comfy.
The acid test will come in June when I next play but I expect it to perform well.
There's plenty of adjustment in the sling for different sized rifles so you should be more than able to get a comfortable set up.

I have to say I've been using EhobbyAsia for many many years and so far I've had no issues. Items have always arrived in a timely fashion and in good condition and basically exactly as described. I have no problem recommending them to any player whether they are new or experienced and I find that they oftentimes have parts or things I want that others don't.
With their newish foray into more real steel tactical kit like Mayflower and Haley Strategic they are rapidly becoming a one stop shop! In fact my new Mayflower RECCE HK417 rig has just been dispatched so i'll let you all know when it arrives - I paid for standard delivery so 10-20 days. Heres hoping customs don't take too much interest in the parcel but if they do, ho hum, I'd budgeted for charges when ordering it anyway.
-
Just had it apart and a few notes. The recoil spring is a double sprung assembly and there is no rubber buffer or anything to mitigate any forces.
Whilst the kick is flipping great on propane I think I'll run it on 144a until the winter roles round again! The hop unit looks like it has plenty of adjustment and should cope with some heavier BB's quite easily.
The slide has a reinforced section that the slide lock engages on and it's just under the label for hop adjustment
The mag is the pinned type of base, which I know some people don't like.
Everything else looks good and well made as you'd expect from TM. The slide is reinforced by the looks of it even though the plastic is quite thin in places. The finish is nice and not shiny more satiny as it's not quite totally Matt.
That's all for now. If anyone wants to know anything I've missed let me know.

I am now conflicted I have a KSC USP compact that is getting on (pre system 7) and I love TM pistols but is it worth getting this??
Nice review how is the trigger pull as the KSC is always a bit spongy?
Curlyboy
The trigger feels nice and yes, it is worth getting this. It's just so pointable as well but if you've a USPc already you'll know how easy they are to shoot!
wait til you see my new Scar H recoil Stew;)You should try playing with / against him: Phil costs us all money! He has all the best toys!
I knew you wouldn't be able to resist!!Don't I know it! I've now ordered one!
why? The real one doesn't have em!!I was kinda expecting ambi controls. (at least ambi slide stop)
-
I don't I'm afraid. I make my own holsters under Clearwater holsters so I'll be knocking up a kydex multicam rig for it over the weekend.
-
So here it is! I don't know if this is the first one in the UK but it's got to be close as I've not seen any other photos or reviews to date.
The box is obviously influenced by 24 but holds the gun securely and comes with the gun, mag, rail adaptor and a spare flat base plate
The gun itself feels light without the mag but it is very well put together and feels great in the hand as you'd expect with a TM product and one modelled on an iconic HK handgun. The finish is great with nice trademarks including the updated USP markings on the pistol grip as is true to the real ones I've been told.
The action of firing it is fantastic and even on 144a it emptied the mag easily and had a crisp recoil. Everything moved as it should and the fit between parts was excellent. FPS was checked by WGC prior to shipping and the mark it on the front of the box at 288. I haven't checked the range yet but the hop is the new style so reachable via the breach. The slide lock also engages on a metal insert so it'll save the slide getting chewed up. Overall 9/10 as I don't know what the range is like and there's no spare mags available as of yet.
