  1. NeoVenom: I'm insanely jealous of your 2010 micro-front-flip-up sight right now.
  2. You need more sh*t hanging from your rifle. Metal body? Go KA or VFC if you have the extra dough. Were you aiming at recreating a block II gun? Cause I've never seen a block II M4 with an ASAP or M203. All the rest is the tits though! Thumbs up on the Specter DR. Leave it there! You have it? Flaunt it
  3. Kojak: your block II rifles are insaaaane! And accurate for once. Tired of those so-called block II rifles with just a peq15 and some kind of freefloat RIS. Really jealous right now x_X Noveske: digging that Trijicon reflex dot. Where d'ya source it?
  4. It's an AABB . It's really nice, I particularly like the fact that it's jet-black, and not grayish like my previous WOC. However, the paint is very fragile (contrarily to WOCs). I handle it very carefully but this saturday, I'll be skirmishing the gun for the first time. Hope it doesn't get f*cked up too bad. Worse case scenario, I guess I'll have to find some kind of way to get Gunkote in Communist France...
  5. Damn gun is finally skirmish ready! It ain't perfect, and there's still stuff missing, but it's in a complete state and it runs nice and hard with GHK C02 mags! I assembled it completely from parts. There's no base gun to this piew-piew. Here be some pictuArs! Stuff still missing: CQD sling plate CQD RIS sling attachment point G&P DBAL-2 Decent steel outer barrel, flash-hider, mag catch and forward assist A2 pistol grip 4 position stock with John Mason butt-pad
  6. I fully agree. Very nice blaster. Is the T-1 mount a Dytac or RS? The short 4-pos stock looks wonders with that John Masen buttpad. I'm saving this pic for future reference.

    USP Picture Thread

    Hai guyz! Not sure this really belongs here, as it's not an USP... Pictures are ###### because it's night-time over hear. As soon as some decent natural sunlight comes back 'round here, I'll be sure to snap a couple more pics. I luv it! It shoots nicely and it's seems rather accurate (will give more feedback after a game or so). Huge though... mer hands are tiny Now, I'm off for a long, very loooong, epic quest, seeking after the Holy Grail: a metal slide and barrel for this bad boy.
  8. If someone could try out WA mag compatibilty, it would really, really be awesome. I'm sure a lot of people are still hoding back because of that specific blurry part. Moreover, is it possible to slap the complete upper receiver (BCG and all) on top of a WA lower? WOC/INO/Prime spec? Anyone?
  9. Crossing my fingers so that my custom built M4 GBB-R WA CO2 ready works for my upcoming game. :x

    Lack of trigger discipline. ... Hell, what was I expecting?
  11. Hey Somegirls, I heard the VFC GBB-Rs can take WA mags as long as there is no valve lock. Can you please confirm that? And if they do, does the bolt stop function work? It's a real deal breaker for me. If the VFC HK416 can take WA mags, I'll buy it. If not, too bad, I'll stay with a pure WA plateform.
  12. Love your bloc II inspired blaster Kojak! Does your PEQ15 adjust windage and elevation? If so, what brand is it? Jet: beautiful HK416. Seeing the correct trades and the bolt carrier, I'm guessing a trademarked WE right? How does it perform out of the box? Needed lots of modding? Geez, everytime I see a 416, I feel like not getting a GBB-R M4 and waiting for the VFC HK416 GBB-R...
  13. is loving his newly arrived authentic KAC RIS and panels!

  14. I tried to fit King Arms AEG plastic hand guards onto my WOC back then when I had one, it didn't fit. Don't know if that's any help to you...
  15. Thanks for your write-up USCMCorps. Once again, you're da man! I'll try your charcoal compound powder + clear matte coat method. I'll post pics once it's done. I just received my Milspex fACOG TA31. I wanted a magnified (x4) optic, adjustable (not like so many cheap copies), with decent markings and back up iron sights. All that at a reasonable price. I didn't want to drop 120$ or more for a hit and miss optic. I grabbed the Milspex on Ebay (still many in stock) for a mere 75$ or so shipped. I'm very happy with it, the fACOG lives up to my expectations externally. Didn't field it yet, so n
  16. Thank you for the great advice USCMCorps. I'll probably go the charcoal route. Where can I find it though? Moreover, won't the charcoal finish just rub off? It doesn't sound like a durable finish, please correct me if I'm wrong. It does look wonders on your FDE gun. Titleist, thanks for the link. I always enjoy reading tidbits of information coming from MFGs, especially KAC and K.B.
  17. Hey guys, after lots of thinking and browsing pics posted by KevB on M4C.net, I decided I wanted to paint my SR25 black. I'm no millionnaire, I can't just buy another one (unless... is someone willing to trade? lulz, highly improbable). So here's the thing: -I want the most realistic finish possible (no scratchs, minimum glare) -I live in communist France, so no access to guncoat and the like If possible, cheap (ain't I a b-tard, asking for everything at once , aye?). So what are my options? BTW: I have an oven at home. No idea how that can help but I have heard stuff about paint
  18. Wow. Oh man you've got some work ahead! Now... *quick buy mags of the intarwebs before USCMCorps buys 'em all out*
  19. Digging the Kimber grips . Been trying to find some myself for quite some time now, but they seem to be OOS every-effing-where. Chronoed my ARES SR25. A very consistent 320FPS with O.28 BBs. Did not chrono with 0.20s. With 0.28 BBs, the range is fantastic. Never had a gun that shot that far. I mounted a friend's ACOG for the game and I was doing crazy headshots from really far. So far away, the guys didn't even bother to get to cover at first, they thought they were out of range... couple headshots quickly changed their minds. Accuracy is good, but I'm sure it can be improved. I'll be
  20. Very nice build. Working on PTWs is a hassle so good job there. The subdued markings look way better than flashy white ones you typically find in airsoft. If I may, your rail panels suck though. The color is off and the design is... akward. As if your gun was having a personality crisis ("me be ABRAHAMS tank" says SR16). Meh, I'm nitpicking.
  21. To Fellowz: I tried putting a G&P upper on a VFC lower and it's a no-go. The G&P needs to have it's pin hole enlarged a bit to be compatible, it sits a half a millimeter too high (dremel work is in order here). I don't know about the other way around but logic dictates it's the same fail. To USCMCorps: RS tubes should be compatible, but I suggest you use one of the cheap WA ones. Airsoft threads and specs are usually pretty approximative, and should you need to modify the buffer tube to get a perfect fit, it'll be easier with a GBB-R tube than an AR buffer tube.
  22. Ok guys, update on my SR25 after a morning skirmish. Lipo's DO FIT in the stock tube. In fact, you can put a very long one inside given that it's RS type, there's no screw inside. The only thing is that you have to replace the original stock (because of the stoopid extension of the stock that goes in the buffer tube, preventing from fitting a lipo inside). So I ended up trying to fit a VFC LMT stock, but failed hard, as it's not RS spec. So I just used the original stock BUT replaced the buttpad (which has the crappy extension I'm bitchin' about since the beginning) by the VFC buttpad and tada
  23. Thank you Ecthelion for your input. I really don't give a damn wether my receivers are CNC'ed or not as long as they don't have effin holes and cavities in them! I always found that Prime receivers (for WA) look too perfect. For a race-gun, that's a plus, but for a combat-gun impression, I find it a bit disturbing. I like VFC's receivers, they're a good compromise I think.
  24. CNC machined? Obvious lie is obvious . There's no way the receiver is CNCed, except if they have an awesome technology to CNC small holes with a larger cave inside (like a bubble, I don't know if you follow me here). I'm globally satsified with the finish of my receiver, despite some small details but what the hell, it's not as if it was a wall hanger. I was just expecting more for the kind of money this replica costs. The lipo won't fit for two reasons: buffer tube has fat walls and the craptastic design of the Crane stock which has a kind of hollow tubular insert that slides in the buffe
  25. Luvs2shoot: yeah, that Costa photoshoot was a great inspiration for me from the start. But I have to admit the thing that got me to go the SR25 route was the Leonidas build sold by Noveske and recent Stickman builds of SR25 EMs. ACS stock, ASAP and MIAD are all part of the big picture, yeah . I do need to get mags for it though. Seems like ARES only manufactured ten of 'em in the whole world ... Yes, I did a review, alas it is in French on another forum. I got an important exam tonight so I'll translate it when I come back and fire it up on Arnies. I'll just say a couple things briefly:
