    Bloody hell, sounds like a right hassle. I'd say there's a lesson for everyone there, definitely go with rails that have an easily detachable lower quadrant in future if you want to fix a low-pro gas block inside it. It's pretty much pure luck I've not had that issue before myself I have to say. Though could you not have loosely put on the rail, fixed in your gas tube/block, then slid the rail forward slightly along the tube until one of the holes in the bottom allowed you to get at the gas block securing screws? The madbull Lite might be different I suppose but my G&P has various h

    Damn you G&P with your steel parts, filing 1mm off a mag catch should never take THAT long.

      dremel`s are useful but a good old file can be allot better at times.

      Indeed a good old file can be better, esp if you have a good sharp one ;)

      It wasn't all that terrible to be fair, just that I learnt my hand skills on alu so steel seems *really* slow to work with by comparison.

      Azn: Yes, I do have one, but I needed to adjust the actual bit of the catch that hold the magazine, and when it comes to taking material from a flat surface and keeping it dead flat I'd always pick a hand file :)

    That'll be the Magpul lower then. It is indeed, I say go for it.

    Blimey, bet it's a bloody nightmare keeping all the finger prints off brass that shiny hey clockwork?

    I had a play with a gold-plated under-folding 47 yesterday, that was a pretty.. 'dazzling' experience. Fnar.

    TD SCAR panels, that's what you need, they make everything look awesome.

    Bloody nice drake, well thought out. I think it would've been just a tad too much FDE if you'd gone for it with all the XTMs so that works very nicely. I've switched to purely using the MOE grip myself now, makes so much more sense than paying for a MIAD and then just putting the large back strap on it. No idea how you make your photos look the way they do but it's beautifully done and very subtle with it.

    Ooh, winner, something to add to the 'to do' list. I'm thinking a black one with the short barrel.

    Sadly right now photobucket is down, but then I wasn't allowed a camera in the good part anyway, so for now, here's the world's most innocent looking door: Behind that is another door, and then a security lobby with another steel multi-reinforced and locked door, and then a metal detector, and then another door and then... well, for a gun geek like me it was a 'god rays shining down, angels singing' moment. 28,000 guns of every variety, from the tiniest little matchlock pistol to 40mm+ aircraft cannon and literally everything inbetween, from the earliest breech loading muskets to the

    Leeds Royal Armouries - Pattern Rooms: Not open to the public, 28000 guns, all on display and free to fondle. I JIMP'd so hard I think I may have had relations with an Australian girl.

      If it wasn't the best 3 hours of my life, it was close. the part that stands out to me in a way was the entrance, it looks like the access to the electrical switch boxes for the multistory car park that the armoury is underneath, but then you get inside and it's just wall to wall gun-clunge.

    If your gear permits you to do that then yes go for it. I sling my dump pouch from the left side of my belt just slightly round the back and it works well, it's a pretty common and popular setup for various reasons. So you're aiming for about 13st? Sounds a bit too low to me if anything, given how tall you are. Or is my slight sarcasm monitor set to mega-fail again?
  12. TheFull9
    Darklite you're built like a tank, if I were to punch your chin of +12 epicness all I'd manage to do is break my own spine.
  13. TheFull9
    The general consensus is that drop-legs of any kind tend to work best when they're as high up as possible. It minimises the restriction to your leg movement/knee joints and the amount that they swing around when you're running by bringing everything closer together and just tightening up the whole rig; so if you can, get the vertical straps that attach to your belt adjusted right down short on the holster and the dump pouch. That will also create a shorter distance between your right hand and your secondary weapon, and your left and the dump pouch, which speeds everything up that extra bit.

    11.5" G&P WOC for $380? Oh go on then WGC, you twisted my arm.

  15. TheFull9
    Regarding the previous pages' dilemma with the rails, I went for the KA MRF in the end since WGC had a sale on (the 10" rail with an m4 outer barrel, gas tube and gas block for less than just the rail on its' own, makes sense eh?). Will report on whether it all fits together in a couple of weeks when it arrives and I get an opportunity to attach it to my SOCOM.
  16. TheFull9
    Well the TM components are pretty well made on these new guns, but the laylax barrel is still a lot nicer than the standard ones on my other EBBs. It also has the same cut underneath as the stock 14.5" barrel the SOCOM comes with, so you're sorted on the batteries side of things. The dytac will be a bit cheaper (I think) but the quality won't be as high, having purchased one of their outers for standard M4s I've found that yes they're perfectly ok, but really nothing special, fairly standard for airsoft.
  17. TheFull9
    Depends on the price of the TM one, but the laylax one is fantastically well made. The machine work is amazingly smooth and the anodising is beautiful, it may not be cheap but you get a bloody well made outer barrel. Far higher standards of work than I've seen from any other airsoft manufacturer.

    Jeeves, I do believe it is the hour for my daily dose of 'shuffling'. Fetch me my huge spectacles without the lenses immediately.

  19. TheFull9
    Well the delta rings would do, pretty much any brand would fit on to most M4s, unless you mean the barrel nut? Presume it is the SOCOM you have?
  20. TheFull9
    If it's the stock VLTOR style FH then it's got spanner flats on there, so any adjustable spanner will do it.
  21. TheFull9
    Well I meant a G&P one to be honest (they do make ones for the TM threads), but they are the same shape as the RS. I'm pretty sure it should work, if you at that picture you posted before and where the gap is in the barrel base clip, the standard style nut doesn't cover that gap any more than than the DD one does.
  22. TheFull9
    Hmm, blimey I'd never thought about that I must admit, I was thinking about normal AEG barrels which obviously have a base all the way around and don't leave a gap; whereas, as you say, the system on the TM creates a space since the base clip only goes part way around. Thanks for that guys that helps a lot, very much appreciated, +1s all round. That will certainly make the fitting process a lot easier, just to pick a rail now. I'm presuming a bog standard USGI AR-15 barrel nut will still leave the gap for the wires? In which case I should be able to fit just about any rail. The MRF is
  23. TheFull9
    This is the one I had in mind: http://www.kingarms.com/productpage.asp?prodid=878 I'll take a look at the Madbull option, though the main issue is finding these rails in stock anywhere quite often, they tend to sell out a lot and buying just 1 item from a store in HK isn't preferable. I suppose the other options would be the DD Omega, should be a fairly easy drop in fit as the extra materials on the off-spec TM barrel nut won't interfere with it and I believe you can take off the bottom rail with a few screws, then again I'm not seeing there being a whole lot of battery/connector s
  24. TheFull9
    On the whole SOCOMs with rails and lipos thing I've got another question. I've got my newest SOCOM sitting here now all new and stock, and I'm thinking of putting a King Arms MRF up the front. Main reason for this, over any other freefloat, is that you can pop the lower quadrant off with 1 screw which will make battery changes a whole *suitcase* load easier. Far as I'm aware part from the KAC RAS no other rails have this feature. However, I'm pretty sure it's not going to fit the gun as it is now. The weird 'barrel nut' (the bit that actually hold the outer barrel on, not the smaller p

    Well someone's got to post in here. -TAG Cap -Tasmanian Tiger softshell -5.11 tactical trousers -Oakley gloves -LOWA patrol boots -Badly adjusted PLCE -Bandoleer (because we have bazillions lying around in work) -Replace airsoft M4 with RS L85 This is actually the kit I wore last time I was roleplaying a bad guy for some other folks on their pre-deployment training exercise. Since I'm stuck on camp this weekend but the guard force don't take kindly to wielding RiFs around outside it's room-posing all the way.
