[The UCP-D Experimental Uniform: Pics]

I recently acquired a used but in excellent condition set of Large UCP-D.  This is a set of the ultra-rare UCP-D experimental camouflage fielded in late 2009 in Afghanistan as part of a test.  There are multiple sources for further information regarding this experiment, but one of the best is:

In short a lot of text information is available, but not a lot of pictures exist of the actual uniform.  I thought I would post a few so others with a similar interest can see a set up close.  

I know there are FAR more qualified people to answer the questions regarding the experiment, If any of them have any information to add it would be a great companion to the images.  If anyone needs a photo of any other specific area let me know.

Awesome pics - thanks!

Real grips fit once you have modified them (holes). The easiest way to make the stock grip tighter is to remove the stock grip screw and remove about 1/8"-3/16" frmo the end of it. Mine bottomed out at the base of the threads prior to being tight on the grip.

 

When I installed my RS grip I had to shorten my screw about 1/2"

It's to bad they ripped TAD off in a major way.

Are you referring to the TAD Spectre Hoodie?

$300 is a LOT of money for a jacket - I don't care who makes it.

My Cactus mask is too close for glasses - but my friends ACM would be great for glasses.

Does anyone know when they changed over to the new Mag latch? That is the only major problem with the Kalash guns - that stupid mag catch.

[Real Sword SVD]

Who has these in stock curently?

[Real Sword SVD]

yep = but then again I won't have money for a while either, so that could all work out in the end.

[Daytonagun AKS-74 All Steel GBB]

You can prob get a fitting from Mc Master - and they do overnight shipping.

 

Also contact Sparrow - he offered a Warranty - though I doubt it will be in time for this weekend.

Got this back from RS:

 

Dear Horse,

Thanks for your approval on our product, and what you favored is already in our agenda, but we have no exactly idea about when it will be released. You will be informed if I get any new info about it.

 

Best wishes!

Has anyone heard when the SVD-S and the Poly stock models will be released? I have emailed RS several times but never got an answer.

I'm going to a game on Sat and plan on trying .2's .25's and .3's.

 

I will post results.

 

 

 

 

I finally got my MAG brand mids to feed correctly - it took a hand file and CAREFUL filing of the latch to even it out accross the latch and bring it down a smidge more. The 2 I tried yesterday fed like champs on both single and FA.

 

[Daytonagun AKS-74 All Steel GBB]

Sorry - ment the mag catch. Some do - some don't, the Kalash fun continues!

[Daytonagun AKS-74 All Steel GBB]

I'll have to try both - tightening the feed tube and removing a little bit more from the mags.

Draco - Where are you located? Im in Layton!

 

TWO DG AK's in one place - Fantastic!

 

 

 

I chronoed my DG 105 and obtained 330 FPS with 100 PSI (CO2 at room temperature at WeaponBlender SLC). This is with the stock recoil spring - the high rate spring is currently on order from Sparrow and with it on 120 PSI should be shooting 390. The guns (as pictured) come with the entire mizzle brake caked in red paint. This was easily recitifed with a little bit of brake cleaner in my case. They also come with the standard Kalash mag seating problems - again easily cured.

 

The recoil is stout - and on par or better than a GHK. I won't say it is the same ammount of recoil as my real steel 5.45, but it is the closest thing I have felt in an airsoft gun.

 

The CYMA Ultimak I purchased at The WB was a breeze to install. Retro-Cow and I had it installed in about 2 mins of tinkering. I also modified a real steel grip so that I can have a proper thin AK grip. I intend for this to be a near exact clone of my real steel, and so far it is awesome.

 

 

I hope to see you on the field Draco!

 

A few pics of mine:

Almost done with refinishing the wood, no more shiny red tint, no more slippery buttstock:

 

Looks Amazing!

[Daytonagun Type 56 Review]

TOTALLY different concept at work here. That is why the triggers are not the same.

[GHK AKS74]

Thanks for the review!

 

I myself went with the external air becuase of the circumstances you mentioned in your post. CO2 being essentially cheap and easy to find in the US, and the high cost of magazines led me to DG.

 

But - the GHK is still a sweet piece of kit!

Zahal all the way - great communication.

the PC gearbox is fantastic is all I know. I have over 100K rounds through my FNC (same basic gearbox) and just barely had to change the hop rubber and changed to a low FPS stock Marui spring in order to use it for CQB. After nearly 3 years it was still shooting 376 average FPS.

 

If they put in a crappy pot metal gearbox I would not use the gun at all.

The Mitznefet is a camo helmet cover that is used to disguise the shape of the head when worn with or without the helmet.

[IDF Loadouts]

Turned it into an "FNCQB" Front end is 100% custom in between the delta ring and the front sight/gas block.

[FN Picture Thread]

have to add a pic of the FNCQB in use - it is a VERY loud gun. I had several people ask me if it was GBB becuase it was so loud.
