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

  1. 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?

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

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

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

      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.

      Core i5 quad-core processor, new motherboard, new RAM. Already have a SSD and a decent video card.

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

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

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

  7. 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. Mike_West

      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).

  8. Oddly replicated Cyborg Ninja airsoft mask: not sure if want.

  9. Must get myself a lovely Glaco horizontal leather shoulder holster one of these days for my 1911

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

    1. Mike_West

      Mike_West

      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.

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

    1. Mike_West

      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.

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

      What the hell is a Drambuie?

      That and I'm partial to Southern Comfort anyway.

  14. Should I feel special for having been covered by a PKM wielding Brian Holt?

    1. Mike_West

      Mike_West

      Ah, all right. Confused him with Brian Van Holt.

      Already got two of those and a MEU, I need something for the ladies. Aside from notoriously not working PPK.

      Maybe I'll get a Tanaka snubbie one day too.

      Don't worry, FK, I'll try not to sneeze on it.

      HFC. Not Bell. A little less chance for it to fall apart. Doesn't have to shoot anyway. If I wanted something that shoots, I'd save for a Tanaka.

      Who's Brian Holt? I think I've heard the name somewhere, but I can't link it to anything.

  19. My Army 1911 is at least 20% more gas efficient than my old TM/Hurricane Mike Cripps built Kimber. LOL.

    1. Mike_West

      Mike_West

      No, the hop-up arm was bent too much and caused the BBs to curve significantly right ("significantly" as in at least a foot at 10ft distance). After bending it back to 90 degrees, it's working correctly ever since.

      Now I'm thinking about expanding my collection, as I'm the unofficial armorer of a local photography hobby group ("Do I have to bring a duffle full of guns again?" - "Of course, what did you expect?!"). There are some things I'd like...

      Well, in my case it's the hop-up that's been bad, but it was a quick fix.

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

    1. 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.

  23. 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.
