Yeah, they don't care so much that they now file international patents on new products....

Do you seriously expect mods to look though upto 5000 posts (and probably a lot more counting sections where posts don't increase post count) though? The warn points system is easy in that respect as it highlights past issues for moderators and can help with taking future action especially if a member continues to do something they have been warned about before. From what I've seen people do get warn points reduced for good behaviour as it is and personally I don't see any need for a change to the current system.

Surefire did indeed make an MP5 SD taclight mount, and you are correct in saying they are discontinued, although even when they were in production outside of the states they were quite a rarity. I don't think there ever has really been a common and easily obtainable proper purpose made mounting system for the MP5 SD (Except the Surefire if you wanted one when they were in production and lived in the states) although that should change once mine go on sale. Those mounts (The one on my MP5 SD3 in the picture above) have been designed by me and are CNC machined specifically for me in England

It is indeed a pre-production prototype, I certainly wouldn't actually have a silver one so I'll be having a production one that is anodized black for it once they have been machined

Excellent! I'm going to hire a hitman to shoot you in the head! Its only illegal if I get caught

Green gas has a pressure of about 120psi at room temperature if i remember rightly, Red gas has a pressure of about 150psi again if i remember rightly. If your mags don't leak on green it doesn't mean they won't on red gas, its higher pressure so there is a chance the mags will start leaking regardless of what they do with green gas in. Saying they'll be fine if they don't leak with green gas is like saying mags that hold 134a without leaking will be fine on green, not always true...

Are you sure red gas is such a good idea? If mags are leaking on green they'll leak like mad on red gas, if they hold green ok its possible red gas could push them a bit far and cause them to leak. Also with reports of mags swelling up with green gas i'd be concerned about the safety of red gas and the potential for them to explode. Not to mention the most important point (sort of), red gas is usually much more expensive than green gas or propane, in the UK its nearly double the price of a can of green gas and about 6x the cost of propane!

Bet my cat purrs more and louder than yours Exploring in the kitchen

No space for a battery above the gearbox, your best bet would be trying to fit a lipo into the foregrip.

Well the thing in question is the currency convertor that sits on the side bar on the forums (very usefull considering the nature of airsoft) which reloads every 15 seconds iirc, although it doesn't load at all for me anymore for some reason If you don't want to see it go down to 'Skin selector' at the bottom of the page and select 'Arnies - Without sidebar', that should do the trick....i think

Depends who you get to do the work, what products you do, what tooling needs to be purchased and how many prototypes it takes before you get to a final product but it generally can be expensive to setup, some products very expensive. And you have to remember, anything you do, any R&D to modify products could all go to waste very fast if the pesky chinese decide to copy you.

Have you painted that slide or did you manage to get hold of a spare black plastic slide? Looks good btw, i'm considering some sort of LAM for my TK USP atm

Well i can say now that metal bodies will be far too expensive to machine, however it should be possible to machine just about all of the internals from a variety of materials with a little redesign here and there. 2 of the parts i can almost certainly say will go into production, quite possibly next week for the simpler part of the 2

Not as such, i'm putting my money down to pay for setup costs and do production runs of them and i will be selling them . They've already done a run of one part for another pistol which is just awaiting anodizing and they are looking at knocking up some prototype parts for other guns. Essentially it'll be the first proper UK airsoft manufacturer

Nice review. The bolt carrier looks like a softer metal than maruzen use, the Vz61 runs on a similar system and aside from a bit of wear on the finish mine shows no real wear at all after about 18months. Horsem4n, and anyone else for that matter, aside from metal bodies and bolt covers what parts would you like to see made for this? I am already looking into getting parts machined and will be visiting a local engineering company again next week

JLS cloned the KSC, i also remember a BE clone of the CA33 though.

I 'think' Den Trinity do older classic army metal bodies with custom engraved trades rather than the Schwalben Arms trades on the newer types.

Very little, my G&P RIS kit only weighs a little more than a CA foregrip with the bipod.

Having owned a single drum mag, a c-mag and now have a mosmag i can safely say they all get in the way, a vertical grip is the best bet tbh, mounting one on the side of an RIS doesn't help at all imo.

I can confirm that they do fit CA G3s as well, infact they fit the CA G3s better than the CA G3 lowers do!

Fitting the G&G lower is the same as doing a normal TM lower, although easier. The MC51 isn't an invention of TM, Spedz is infact correct, FR Ordinance produced it for the SAS however it didn't prove to be a good gun and was ditched very fast. The airsoft version however is bloody brilliant!

Yes, but putting a non-MK23 silencer on a MK23 is hardly the anti-christ in terms of raping H&Ks

A Mk23 with a silencer, even if it isn't a MK23 silencer how can that even bother anyone in the slighest?

Erm, the extra QC thing is a myth. Aside from various differences such as trades and heavy weight plastics that are occasionally used on KSC and metal frames and slides on KWA versions there is no difference between KWA and KSC. KSC guns are subject to additional Japanese tax whereas KWA which was designed as an export brand of KSC does not, hence the KSC branded versions are more expensive. Anyway, the SP2022 looks very nice, i have one of the KWC NBB Co2 versions and the ergonomics and feel of it is excellent. If KSC do a cheap metal OEM slide for it like they did with the P226r then
