Thanks! I've been keeping an eye on the Volante ones, which look promising aside from the eye-watering price. I guess he figures he's going to have to amortize the development costs of the new BBU solely over this handful of slides - I'll wait and see.

Nice! Sadly (sort of) I already bought a PGC G17 slide, another Volante BBU and an ALG 6 Second with a clone T1...

Sure

Depends on which model. CO2 holds higher pressure so there is a lot of limitation of the flow. There are still flute valves, but they are structured differently. TBH airsoft flute valves are possibly best system for blowback vs power out of the airgun systems. I have a Daisy 2003 which works like an open bolt MG.

They are vastly different from the GAMO blowback pistols vs the Umarex PPKs

i have like 4 lemme find one when i get home how much are you looking at?

Dunno, depends on the condition and the mount. What're you asking? PM?

I've found these quite hard to recommend in the past as due to their nature, OEMs are somewhat fluid. So you may end up with a different sight than you thought.

Cheers. I've grabbed the cheapest one I could find on AliBaba, and I guess we'll see how it goes!

That'd be great, cheers!

... couldn't find it, sorry man

No worries!

with crane stock http://i68.tinypic.com/314xmjp.jpg

those are just some from off the top of my head... a common theme is the sling is mounted to the stock - have yet to see a block 1 with a buffer tube sling mount... not saying it never happened though!!

The Bowman headsets are all over eBay and also not very expensive. The radios themselves are 2.4Ghz - the same frequency as a lot of WiFi routers, Xbox controllers, all that.

A post on arrse refers to them knocking out Wifi connections. The search engine here is *suitcase* so havn't had much luck but I'd suggest that is the reason they are not commonly used!

Bowman = Better Off With Map And Nokia.

If you want a subforum setting up you could try PM'ing Marlowe but you'll probably have to wait for Arnie to reply to you.

Easier to get a RS mainspring housing isn't it?

It's a PGC kit - doesn't need the MSH. It's fouling around the decocker, I think.

Ah. I see. Can't help there I'm afraid. I seem to recall someone doing a photo guide for the mods to Hogues. Bankz maybe?

Failing that, anyone in the UK have Hogue P226 wrap-arounds? Or want to ship me some from the US?

I should have a bunch of the rings...let me double check when I get home. Send me a PM.

hitmanNo2, the S-1 bipod is expensive because IZHMASH hardly made any of them (hundreds, maybe low thousands) and they were never offered for sale to civilians. Gunmane, the Prodiz SDA-C101 and its various Chinese clones are supposed to be OK. The three-point attachment method of the S-1 looks so much better, but I'm not paying $1k for a bipod...

I see. I wouldn't have ever considered an accessory such as a bipod for an SVD would be made in such limited numbers considering how many years it's been in use.

That second one looks like it was made from Triscuits.

That could be a bit of bargain hunting then

I'll have to see what he's asking for it.

'Oh. It's a TM Uzi? Common, antiquated thing. Guess I could give you £20 for it'

How about $40 shipping for Bianchi Speed Strips worth $10?

As Arnies resident Surefire fanatic, why not just go for the regular M952 which as best I can tell is exactly identical, but had a different NSN number?

I would be hard pressed to find even a regular M952 BNIB for $90. I probably will end up acquiring a regular M952XM07 at some point.

Personal preference would be that SFA Operator LDC... *sploosh*

SVD!

I've got the SVD and I'm sure you will never regret buying one. It's just so well made, so buy it. You know you can't resist.

It's a quarter of the price of the gun! (Not to mention EMS ALWAYS gets caught for customs). I've e-mailed back asking if they have any other options...

EMS is still less likely to get caught by customs than UPS, FEDEX or DHL, who will deliberately take your package and get customs to fastlane assess it and bill you for the privilege

I'd be doing better if UNCo. weren't steadfastly refusing to acknowledge any other shipping system. I'll e-mail you later.

When they start handing out engineering degrees for free, I'm sure he will!

Damnit! I have a Guarder kit lying here and I'm still waiting for UNFailCompany to send me the TM P226. Oh well time to prove that I have a little Aod in me.

Possibly meee! Any pics?

It looks pretty much exactly like this - http://www.leupold.com/tactical/scopes/mark-4-lrt-riflescopes/mark-4-lrt-3-5-10x40mm-lrt-m1-illum-ret/ - and I can take some photos for you, if you like, this evening?

No, that's fine - I was thinking of something completely different. I'll pass! GLWS.

OK - does anyone have a complete M3 turret they want to sell me?

Yay!

Seriously, dude, you're a miracle-worker and if I had more money to give you in appreciation, I would!

Why so surus?

I'll get me coat...

Listed in stock but actually out of stock?

Absolutely! The worst part is that instead of e-mailing me back to explain that it's out of stock, they just ignore your order. Raaaaaaage!

Also - the phone number on their site doesn't work!

That sounds the opposite to Redwolf they will take your money, but never reply afterwards ;-)

15 emails in the last year - none answered, except for one concerning- you guessed it money :-) My last email was asking why they put down the full amount on the customs invoice for parts worth $300, they arrived in a small package as most of the parts were tiny and I got stung for €70 customs charges, I made a note to them on the Paypal invoice and also the original order form, I've sp...

I found a working phone number on their Facebook page, so I'm going to harangue them as soon as it's 10AM JST. What kind of business doesn't answer e-mails sent in reply to invoices?! If anyone else sold these parts I'd have taken my business elsewhere some time ago...
