  1. Fantastic video Akira! BoobieM4H posted his own thoughts in a video. You guys seem to see eye to eye in the benefits of these new products. Thanks again for sharing!
  2. They're Lowa Desert Seekers. Long discontinued, and still one of my favorite boots: http://www.militarymorons.com/equipment/footwear.html#lowa
  3. I and others I know well have ordered multiple times on multiple occasions from DragonRedAirsoft and never had any problems over the course of the last couple years. That is of course purely our opinion based off our first hand experience, but my friend ordered off the site a week or two ago and already received his helmet which he said arrived safe and sound and it was a painless transaction. So that seems pretty current. From what I recall of the basic vs. premium version helmets, the difference is mostly to do with the materials used, thickness of materials and overall quality. For exam
  4. The problem is that while some of the Madbull rails have just the back portion of the channel blocked off either via a pin or material, more recent rails now have that entire length of rail unmachined from front to rear. So that means you'll have to cut anywhere from 7" to 14"+ of channel to accommodate a gas tube.
  5. Speaking of which, if anyone is interested in getting threads for their airsoft upper receiver recut for RS rails/barrel nuts, IM me for details. I've done a lot of them over the years (more than 30 uppers by my last count), including two of WTF?Shane's recently. Turnaround time is fast (usually ships back out within 48 hours) and after recutting the threads are still compatible with TM/airsoft spec rails/barrel nuts.
  6. Sorry to resurrect a long since dead conversation. But did you end up having any success with the dual lock? I recently looked into dual lock again and it doesn't appear to work with regular loop velcro. So if your helmet has loop velcro already on it (as do most airframes, ops core helmets, and associated helmet covers) installing dual lock onto the contour camera shouldn't work (unless you discovered differently). I personally use 3M Velcro Hook on the inside face of the contour camera and stick that to the helmet's loop velcro. However like I experienced before, the camera would still rock
  7. Excellent! I wonder how much clearance there is in the top? Like if someone used the skeletonized BFG Redi-Mod, would the top of the mag show?
  8. We did a limited production run of them for PTS marketing purposes. They are genuine VZ Grips. We had just three pairs made, one set on my Nighthawk, and the other two are on KWA 1911 demo guns. I also had a set of alumagrips made in the same fashion as the Nighthawk 1911 Alumagrips ... they're okay, but the VZ Grips are definitely cooler.
  9. Is the hopup still not working for you? I'd have a hard time myself pouring money into a gun if it doesn't shoot right.
  10. Deserves a video tutorial, no?
  11. Very cool build. For a lasting paint finish, you mght want to try Cerakote Satin Aluminum, Savage Stainless, or Satin Mag. There's a few airsofters in the UK doing really good Cerakote work right now. After all that hard work, you may want to hit one of them up for the ultimate finish. So after seeing bradnuts's Nighthawk Talon, it motivated me tonight to finally get off my butt and install the Nova LAV Magwell that I've had in a parts bin for over a year. I ripped out the T.S.C. Main Spring Housing/Magwell that I had since buying the gun (the T.S.C. felt cheap and had a horrible glossy an
  12. Definitely sounds like a lemon. What is the hopup doing?
  13. I don't think it's publicly available. I just know the guys over there.
  14. I'm looking at 3 colors: Tungston, Stone Grey, and Disruptive Grey. The first two are regular cerakote stocking items. The Disruptive Grey as used on the Jack Carbine is a custom color done by Joint Forces.
  15. Nice. That is one of two colors I'm considering for both my airsoft LM4 and RS PredatAR. Did you get it painted locally? How shiny is Tungsten in day light?
  16. I was under that exact same impression. If these can be found in HK, I'd like to know. As I'll be back there in a few weeks and would gladly mail myself a few home for myself and some instructors I know who need them for force on force training.
  17. Looked at kicbbgun ... they don't have much english on their site. How easy was it to order? They also don't seem to list magazines.
  18. Do people still modify the rocket valve by shaving the rear face of the cone to increase the FPS like the early days of trial and error? Or do people only stretch out the spring?
  19. emp3ror86, where did you buy yours from? Curious. I had a chance to check out the VFC/Stark branded G19 and G17 test samples at a local vendor. I was most interested in checking out two things for myself first hand: 1. Real steel magazine base plate compatibility: As others have noted, I'm happy to report that the real steel mag base plates are 100% compatible with the VFC mags ... though the fit is really tight. But it'll probably loosen up over time. 2. Real sight compatibility: The OEM VFC rear sight slips out without much fuss. Though, I will add that it's under
  20. Nope. But the owner of Centurion Arms' credentials speak for themselves being a part of that community so I personally take it at face value. They're not prolific. That's for sure.
  21. There's plenty of pics of the slick Centurion Arms .308 rail. The 5.56 version looks pretty much the same, just in different lengths from what I recall. There aren't any photos of the 5.56 version out there. He was just carrying it in a backpack and showing it to a few clientele and friends at Shot.
  22. I do believe the new Centurion rail is a pinch bolt design but I don't think that that feature is indicative of it being cheaper. Most of the cost of manufacturing is in the rail machining itself. Sadly Centurion Arms rails have always been at the higher end of the rail price spectrum and I think this new one will be no exception. As for hard use, the Geisselle is certainly a hard use rail but it could also be argued (and has been) that in some ways it's over built at the sacrifice of relatively higher weight gain and rail thickness. Its not the heaviest or biggest rail, but some argue it
