      Wouldn't that create a huge step between the outer barrels?

      Not sure, I think that extension is an inch in diameter or so, but there's no concrete info about it anywhere.

  1. Gunfire offers a Hakkotsu Thunder bundled with the APS UAR. If only they had the UPR as well.

  2. I swear to God I saw an ACM extended outer barrel with integrated muzzle brake, but I can't find it anywhere. Am I going crazy or is it a real thing?

      For what gun?

      It was an universal jobbie fitting the standard -14mm thread.

  3. Oh the overseas orders. Looks like the military stuff is going to get here on schedule, but some guys on AliExpress make the terrible first impression of being daft beyond comprehension.

  4. So, computer upgraded, now to think of some airsoft projects. Turn my Broomhandle Mauser into a variation of the PASAM submachine gun perhaps?

  5. All airsoft projects and purchases on hold - time to upgrade my computer.

      Still running an i7-950, 6GB RAM and 2x ATI 5870's - too poor to upgrade.

      bladerunner, I think you are confusing being poor with spending all your money on sweet airsoft guns ha ha.

      Doc, that's pretty much the config I'm aiming at. Just with a different video card.

      Bladerunner - oh, certainly you can put two more gigabytes of RAM in that thing.

  6. Hmmm, do I want to take a drill to a Denix sawn-off shotgun replica? and if I do, how illegal will it be? And, of course, will it accept Goblin airsoft/paintball shells anyway?

    1. renegadecow

      renegadecow

      AFAIK the Denix models are non firing replicas, not even pfc's so making it to fire bbs shouldn't be illegal.

      I'm with RC on this one. It's not a deactivated firearm so modifying it to fire BBs shouldn't be legally problematic.

    3. Mike_West

      Well, it's because a Denix sawn-off goes for just under eighty quid over here, as compared to over $250 (and shipping from HK) for a Wa Shan one. All I need to do is drilling through the faux firing pins to make them work and adjusting hammer springs so they don't *fruitcage* up the Goblin shells (which, IIRC, need just a gentle push).

  7. I finally got my tommygun. Cue scat singing and trumpet/sax solos. And get me a fedora!

      But I had to borrow that hat. I don't wear hats everyday.

    3. faramon

      Next time demand the hat as part payment :P

    4. Mike_West

      Mike_West

      I could buy one for 12 quid, but since I don't wear them anyway, I considered it an unnecessary expense.

  8. Actionhobbies, being the bunch of lazy berks they are, refuse to send the Tommygun over. However, as the price difference turned out to be only twenty quid, I'll just source it domestically. Free next-day shipping is a plus.

  9. Okay Actionhobbies, finish up your morning tea and tell me if you can fling a Tommygun to Middle-Eastern Europe, where no VCRA or other silly bull *suitcase* like that exists...

  10. So I just bought a RPD foregrip, maybe I'll buy an AK105 and turn it into a Chinese Assault Rifle from Fallout 3.

      Not really much to do, I'll just put an AK74 flashhider and an AK47 magazine on it, mod that foregrip to actually allow aiming and make the stock out of copper tubing.

    4. faramon

      faramon

      I think this is a good idea and agree unconditionally ;)

  11. Just shelled out 20 quid on four dummy M67 grenades. Can't be Rolento without grenades.

      That ain't too bad, depends on the quality though too. :P

      Mike_West

      Wooden body, painted OD, fuses taken from training models (still painted blue). Probably due to some dumb-*albatross* local regulation I don't know.

  12. The M10 is finally out of HK. The things I do for photoshoots, jeez...

      Something for the ladies? Next you will be keeping Drambuie in the house :P

    3. Mike_West

      What the hell is a Drambuie?

      That and I'm partial to Southern Comfort anyway.

      FireKnife

      Have a look, it is a joke from a Brit 'comedy' called Bottom, it is just random *suitcase* :P

  13. Hmh, how long until the Chinese start making airsoft versions of Polish real-steel prototypes?

  14. Aaaaanyone wants a slightly used Muzzelite 10/22 stock? Only 120 GBP shipped, or send me a Hogue OM stock for 10/22 with a bull barrel. That swap's gonna work too.

  15. Hogue OM stock is only 80 quid at MidwayUK. Now, who wants a slightly used Muzzelite stock for 10/22?

    1. huntER_HuntED

      huntER_HuntED

      get one in pink!

    2. Mike_West

      Mike_West

      Nah, I can't afford the silver barrel, and it would look better with a pink stock. I'll probably end up with a broken MB05 and a dremel.

  16. I WILL PUNCH THE POSTMAN. Turned out that he "attempted delivery at 6:50PM on Friday, nobody was home, left a note" - BS, as I was home, and HE DIDN'T LEAVE A NOTE.

      Yeah, just finished putting it together.

      Good. Ready to see it.

    4. Mike_West

      Mike_West

      Check my gallery.

  17. No, those dumb schmucks from the postal service weren't able to deliver the stock on Friday. ARSES, I say!

  18. Finally those ARSES from Customs released my Muzzelite. Took them TEN *fruitcage* DAYS.

    1. Leon Kennedy

      Leon Kennedy

      :) Cheers. I'm going on day 14 of USPS shipping my AK a mere 200 miles.
    2. Mike_West

      Mike_West

      USPS actually did their job in this case, in three days the gun was delivered across the Atlantic. Then it got stuck in customs for almost exactly ten days (without forty minutes according to the tracking log). I hope I'll be able to pick it up tomorrow.

  19. Also, I'm officially awesome, I managed to reduce leaks from my M500 to an acceptable level.

  20. Still waiting for the Muzzelite stock. Lazy bumtards from the Customs Office.

  21. I have an idea regarding the Wingun revolvers, but sadly, it's strictly theoretical. :(

      New barrel assembly that allows you to install a hop-up. I thought of a CNC chamber with a forcing cone, VSR hop-up and TM pistol barrel, and a new outer barrel similar to the revolver from Blacklight: Retribution.

      want!!! what would you need to do it?

      http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_J0eGLzEI-8A/TDekh1wIUnI/AAAAAAAAAYw/ps9auGeI6DE/s1600/Revolver.jpg - this is the revolver from Blacklight. I would need some expertise with CAD to design the hop-up chamber and new outer barrel (move the spring from the front of the barrel to the end of the hop-up chamber and brace it inside the outer barrel). And I would need lots of money for that (you know, third-word Assholistan in Middle-Eastern Europe, boring underpaid deskjockey job, etc.).
  22. I managed to get my next parcel's customs queue number before they even sent me the invoice for translation.

  23. But the good news is the stock is finally on its way, so maybe I'll have the Ruger fully assembled before the coming skirmish.

      Yup. It's stuck in customs right now, but the barrel slipped through and I hope the stock will too.

    4. Mike_West

      Mike_West

      Goddamn hell*fruitcage*. Stock ended up inspected by customs. 60 quid up the *albatross* in total. I could have a scope for that.

  24. Aaaaand customs charges. The budget is in shambles, they have to fix it any way possible.
