  1. So update on my airsplat order: Gave them a call and they were out of stock for the black one. Either i wait until the end of december to pick up a black one or take a tan one that they currently have in stock at the moment. Looks like ill be getting a tan GHK! 

     

    For the samoon, looks like a good deal. I may pick some up from there if it's cheaper than getting it stateside! I never ordered from them before. How are they? 

  2. So just being curious with the shipment today, i checked on the status of the order and found this message: The sender has voided the UPS tracking number created for this shipment. UPS does not have possession of this shipment

     

    Before, it showed electronic info received. I ordered it on December 02 and this update was yesterday (according to the void date). Along with this, I never received  notifications of any type through email or phone number provided.... So what does this mean? 

  3. yeah it must have been the volume of orders. No one can really beat that kind of deal for the ghk g5 so I'm glad i got a day job to keep me busy during this wait! 

     

    I'm still waiting for the marui hk45 and possibly USP series GBB but other than that, my ebbrs are slowly converting to these Gbbrs.  The next on my marui bucket list is the 870 thats currently available. 

     

    If I'm impressed with this g5, i may follow in your footsteps and pick up an ak :P 

  4. Not new to GBBRs, i've been through we, G&P WOCs,  KWA lm4 (two actually) and the marui mp7 gbb. Wouldnt say i'm an expert but somewhat competent. I'm just wondering how flawed the design (if applicable) of the vfc mp5 and if it's worth it to purchase! thanks in advance

  5. Ok, I'm thinking of purchasing this because I'm getting into the gbbr world but I'm really worried about how well this works. I hear problems with misfeeding, hop problems, magazine problems and complexity. However, it's the only available mp5 gbbr on the market. and I'm not thoroughly convinced the WE gbbr will be a savior in its place. What mods should i do to make it skirmishable? 

  6. New version is out... All the better parts, Hk trades and no 6mm cal markings.

    Yum.

    AP.

     

    Armour, (or anyone else), can you point me to the ones that are the new version ones on wgc? I cant tell the difference between the new ones and the older ones. 

     

    This one does list some difference compared to the listing posted above: http://www.wgcshop.com/wgc2008/main/product_detail1.php?search_From=searchItem&item=WGC-GBR-UMP5A2&search=special&rs=vfc%20mp5&catid=&cat=&view_choice=c

  7. Where are you guys getting the extra mags for this? They are ridiculous to find at a decent value new and most retailers who have it it stock will be out of stock when ordering, which makes me question who has the real-time inventory on these things.. 

  8. Has anyone tried the evo II hop up kit with the maple leaf bucking? I have a few questions about it: is it a drop in fit with no mods and does it really make a difference? I find the stock lm4 hopup to be a little inconsistent with some shots going far as 180+ then others that drop 50ft in front of me. 

  9.  

    If you're in the UK/Europe, I agree, Eagle6 is definitely the place to go. If you're in the States, there's probably better alternatives.

     

     

    Glad I could help! You could probably buy the SOPMOD rails separately secondhand as many users of the SOPMOD change theirs for longer/newer free-floating rails; you might be able to get it first-hand from somewhere too - but, I really wouldn't bother. The TM rail isn't just too small at the ends - it's fractionally smaller all over. For example, the RS KAC rail covers are a very loose fit (as opposed to the tight fit they are on the RS and Inokatsu RASs I have) so evidently the TM is a little on the small side all round. The other parts involved (particularly the original TM delta ring assembly) suck already, so it's worth replacing them anyway. Plus, in the States the RS RAS is comparatively cheap, and it's obviously a lot better made than the cast TM copy.

     

    Honestly, I would strongly suggest changing the handguard cap and delta ring assembly, and using the RS RAS. It's not difficult at all - the G&P delta ring is a drop-in fit, as is the G&P handguard cap - and they're not very expensive. For the handguard cap, just remove the flashhider, punch the taper pins from the FSB and remove the recessed screw to pull the FSB, and drop the new handguard cap right in. For the delta ring, undo the screw underneath and it just unscrews; the G&P is the correct threading but (assuming that your SOCOM is still front-wired) you'll have to do some careful cable routing around the new barrel nut.

    Great advice, never noticed that till you mentioned it. Now i do remember when i fit some knight rail covers they were a bit loose on a sopmod i had a long time ago.
