  1. They make a railed top receiver (or receiver  cover) as well. I was able to snag both on sale for $15 each.

     

    The gas tube fits great, zero wobble, even with a heavy optic. It did have about a millimeter of front and back movement, but zero side to side. I shimmed it with some electrical tape in the front portion of the tube and it is now 100% steady. Be careful removing the top receiver if you have a heavy optic though, it is held in place by fiction with the cover and can slide back potentially if tipped. Easily fixed with a set screw.

     

    I hated the railed receiver though. Did not fit tight so it wobbled around, quite useless for use as an optic rail. Tried to steady it with shaped foam around the battery, just didn't feel right. Might work if it was secured with screws or a solid spacer.

  2. Added a Lancer Tactical GP-25 to my ICS Galil using a custom mount. Extremely solid and actually comfortable to hold. Slightly front heavy when fitted with a fully loaded grenade, not too bad empty.

    And for when you really need to put some plastic down range. 3000rd drum mag and three TM Desert Eagles will do that just fine :gun:

  3. I have tried a ton of different AK mags in my ICS Galil, including a drum magazine. They have all fit and fed so far. Funny enough I have problems with ICS Galil magazines with fit and feeding.

     

    I do believe (not 100% sure though) that Cyma guns were based on the KA Galil, which I know is a bit trickier to get mags for.

  4. I just looked that up, it is pretty ugly, not to mention it jammed up a ton (I'll give it was a prototype).

     

    I was almost considering building up a M500 in the manner of the Knoxx Sidewinder kit, but even that seemed to ugly for me. Although it could hold a ton of rounds! Combine that with a HPA tank and you could be launching 5 round bursts all day.

  5. There are a few more to be added, just the beginning of a collection ha ha.

     

    I usually leave the derringer in that pouch whenever I use my vest. Holds it perfectly in place, I didn't think about it when taking the pictures.

  6. Late night attempt at something new, I had a CA suppressor that was broken so I hacked the damaged end off and forced it onto a cheap shorty can. Needs to go a bit farther down I think.

  7. Aside from the common (and quite valid) safety concerns, a major issue many people have with serpas is if you get debris/rocks inside the locking latch, you may be faced with having to dismantle the entire serpa to remove the gun. I've seen it happen on a real range but I've also seen it happen at an airsoft game. In both cases the shooter was lying on his handgun side in the dirt. I'm actually surprised it doesn't come up more often with airsofters since they're just as likely to end up crawling through dirt and bad terrain.

     

    I do understand the appeal of the low cost and ease of use of the serpa though.

    Interesting, I can honestly say I've never seen or even heard of this happening. I have owned four different serpa holsters for airsoft (226, USP, Five-seveN, and another Five-seveN), put them all through hell (dirt, mud, etc) and never had a single problem. I'll keep an eye on the two I have now and make sure to clean them out more, especially the ones I own for real steel.

  8. So, who wants to CNC this for me? :D

    Have you considered a 3D printer for the first prototype? Cheaper than a metal prototype and easy to adjust after. My work might be getting one and I could probably print a few for free.

     

    Oh and just to add, my first Five-seveN also survived 25K+ rounds before the outer barrel sheared. I really regret selling it instead of just fixing it up (I didn't know about the sealant trick yet, figured it would keep happening)

  9. Glad to hear you are still working on it, I would be interested in purchasing some upgrades for mine as well.

     

    If someone could help me this this problem I'd appreciate it. I bought a second hand Five-seveN for $65 that was having problems with the loading nozzle sticking. Previous owner claimed he had no idea why. Well I finally got around to opening it up (it was on the back burner) and I can tell you he was completely lying. He apparently does not know the word gentle and it appears he used a screwdriver to pry the blow back unit out. You can see from the pictures how scratched and gauged the metal is. I think he damaged the rear of the loading nozzle as well, or this might be from wear. I don't think this is the case because the original barrel does not show any signs of metal fatigue yet. What exactly am I missing? The only thing I know of so far is the return spring for the nozzle.

  10. I've never actually seen someone who owned the long barrel version of the Cop gun, very nice!

     

    Those little derringers are sweet. I have one in 6mm and it is one of my favorite guns ha ha. I just jam it in my boot or admin pouch and if I run out or just want to have some fun I use it. It actually has some range (whether or not the opponent can feel it is another thing), but usually they see it or it is so close it doesn't matter. I've been able to successfully get two people out with it in multiple games (granted I started with it out and ready). They are quite the deal too, I was able to pick mine up for $20 used.

  11. New gas tube, grip, and added a rail to the handguard. Suppressor is custom made and is threaded near the top to allow for a shorter look (still needs a back plate). I tried out some Beta mags, they fit and fed, but even in a normal AK they feed horribly so I ditched them for some G&P midcaps. I might fix the feeding issue and retry them, they look awesome. Selector switch is going to be replaced with a "tactical" model, and I'm working on a magazine flange. I'm thinking about painting some parts tan with a tan paracord wrap on the stock.
