  1. For the past few days I have logged on to Arnies each morning as normal but when I click 'view new posts' nothing is there! (I just get one of those Arnies error messages)

     

    Posts have clearly been made since the last time I logged on but I can only see them when I go through each section individually.

     

    It's probably to do with my computer rather than Arnies but I'd appreciate if someone could help me out with this as I've nothing to do over my morning coffee anymore :P

     

    Thank you.

  2. TMC are a pretty good company, I've dealt with them many times without any hassle.

     

    The only thing I would say is to email them first and ask if what you want is actually in stock.

    This is the only bad part of their service as they don't always keep the website updated with the correct stock levels.

    But if they do have what you want you wont have any trouble with your order.

  3. Thank guys.

    I really can't believe how good they look and I love the pictures I have seen of the packaging!

    The magazine in the grease proof paper and the wee oil bottle...brilliant!

    I love stuff like that, it's all the small touches that are important to me. Personally I'm sick of all the poor quality clones that are being churned out day after day so to find something like this is really refreshing.

    I just can't believe I didn't notice it before!

     

    Anyone want to swap for a WE M4? :P

  4. Absolutely amazing Panoptes.

    Until I had saw that picture of your RS I hadn't paid much notice to them before to be honest but I've been reading up on them today and wow...just wow!

    Surely one of the nicest AEGs ever produced?

    I would really love a folding stock version.

     

  5. WE M4 GBB

    Magpul removed and 'tactical lightsticks' added! I'm annoyed I posted the first pictures with the Magpul attached. I'll try for some better pics tomorrow. It was my intention to buy an Insight M3 in tan and a CQD sling but I've decided to sell the rifle instead.
  6. Don't worry about the Springfield trades being cut off by the serrations mate.

    This was actually the case with some of the 'real steel' MEU pistols also.

    It's not a design error by Guarder they are just copying one of the many looks of the 'real steel' MEU ;)

     

    As many will know the MEU is made up of various bits and pieces from different RS manufacturers.

    Some of the slides were made by Springfield, some by Caspian and some were completely blank with no trades.

    The Springfield Custom slide as copied by Guarder did not have front cocking serrations but these were required by the Marines so the pistol could be used in difficult conditions and to make it easier to carry out a 'press check'

    Therefore as the slides with the Springfield Custom trades were what was available at the time the serrations were stamped over the trades.

     

    That is basically why your airsoft MEU only has the start of the Springfield trades.

     

    It is also worth noting the the 'Early Version MEU' did not have these front cocking serrations.

  7. It's been reported on other forums that certain AEG mounts aren't suitable and require some modifications to work.

    I don't know about that particular mount but I would imagine it's the same. The problem is cause by the 'nub' of the mount not allowing it to sit flush, however this can be fixed with some filing but as somegirls has said a RS part would be easier.

    I have used a 'real steel' CQD rear sling mount and it fits perfectly.

     

    In regards to the flashider, unfortunately that is a very common problem. It seems some were attached with some kind of loctite as there have been many reports of people having difficulty removing them initially.

    A drop of blue loctite once you're sure you wont have to remove the flashider for any reason will do the trick. It will stay on firmly but it will still be removable with hand tools if required.

     

     

  8. Yep the mk18 is exactly what i'm going for. I just got a CA RIS to replace the RAS that I had but the rail sits a little too high, higher than the rails on the receiver and theres some issue with fitment. A VFC crane stock is on the way :) and cqd sling plate from ebaybanned.

     

    My flash hider that i'm currently using right now is a G&P but it doesn't have the QD notch so it stays on but the silencer rotates if you turn it. Suprisingly it does stay in place when firing though.

     

    The m900 replica is made by SG(standard gear) that I bought off someone on ASR. Evike has it for $80 but with a throw lever mount instead of the screw in ones.

    I found that with the CA RIS too!

    In the end I swapped it for a G&P RIS and it fits perfectly and looks great.

    Interesting to hear about the flashider. I have a G&P QD flashider as I mentioned so I'm assuming then that it should work perfectly well with the VFC KAC QD silencer?

    I was lucky enough to snag a RS CQD rear sling mount from ebay (it aint so easy for us guys in the UK to get RS stuff sent to us!)

    Let me know how you find the VFC crane stock, I'm tempted by one of those too :)

    Anyway, congrats again on the rifle.
