H&K Posted March 7, 2008 Report Share Posted March 7, 2008 They are indeed replica, and not real - but they share a very close resemblance Pretty cool pic H&K - Kinda posie though lol Also.... trying to keep a straight face? Even though the murky water is freezing? Lol. The picture was taken by one of the event photographers I believe. I actually was looking for the way out of the nippy water...My MC was getting wet again!!! I had to save it!! Ok...so it was cold. 5km of mud and water does that to you H&K Link to post Share on other sites
Crimson Posted March 8, 2008 Report Share Posted March 8, 2008 (edited) Got my first item from Lakota Industries ile tell you this now its not worth the price they charge unless the object is solid. I got my Event Mask done at a cost of $105 i was quoted $65 and shipping was $15 so i dont know where the increase came from ? First thing first this in no way is the same colour as multicam fabric i asked for low gloss mill spec coating yes this is nice on its own but when compared to multicam it sticks out, its mainly green with the multicam pattern. The mask is made of rubber so it can bend as it bends the multicam finish cracks and falls off, from being shot once the multicam flim has cracked and split, apparently it scratches off just as easy on solid objects The worksmanship is not too good, there are places where the multicam has chip'ed and lakota has not done anything and places they have missed. I guess because its rubber it gave them the hard job but £50 is way way too much for a simple paint job, i am tempted to film a scar but now i seen what this is actually like i may just stick to tan Close up (see multicam written) Compared to Multicam: Edited March 8, 2008 by Crimson Link to post Share on other sites
uscmCorps Posted March 8, 2008 Report Share Posted March 8, 2008 The difference you're seeing is due to the pattern being applied to different materials. When the Multicam pattern is applied to fabric, the fabric absorbs the dye differently than when the pattern is applied to plastic. In truth, the color you're seeing coated onto the plastic, is the truest and most unadulterated form of the pattern. It's just not what you're used to. That's also why there's a difference between the Propper BDUs and the TruSpec BDUs. The fabric for both BDUs are made by Crye, but they're printed on different fabrics resulting in different end results. If Lakota over charged you, you should definitely call or email and find out where the difference in cost went. If you paid by credit card, you could even threaten to contest the charges. If you're not satisfied with the results you can probably ease its effect by using some dull clear coat. Link to post Share on other sites
alpha54 Posted March 8, 2008 Report Share Posted March 8, 2008 When I asked Lakota whether they could coat some rubber items for me, I was informed before hand that the coating will crack when bent. That's just a downside of hydrographic coating you can't avoid. Link to post Share on other sites
jonarthur Posted March 8, 2008 Report Share Posted March 8, 2008 crimson ive got some dull coat you can use on it next time i see you , will give it a nice matt finish and maby a layer of protection Link to post Share on other sites
Crimson Posted March 8, 2008 Report Share Posted March 8, 2008 (edited) Sweet thanks Jon let me know ile see how it looks Yeh thats why i was thinking my SCAR and EOTEC wont look too bad because its a hard surface then again its a 553 in tan and looks so so nice Ok does anyone want to do a group shippment of items or AEGS to Lakota. Rifle cost is roughly $300 each if we group in of 15 or more items it becomes roughly $115 each (will get specific quote) So if you want something coated let me know and we can send it all in for discount:) Edited March 8, 2008 by Crimson Link to post Share on other sites

0nslaught Posted March 8, 2008 Report Share Posted March 8, 2008 howd you get that PMAG to fit? is that a PTW? Link to post Share on other sites
TheLair Posted March 8, 2008 Report Share Posted March 8, 2008 I would venture to guess its real just by looking at the magazine and the bolt Link to post Share on other sites
Shriven Posted March 8, 2008 Report Share Posted March 8, 2008 (edited) It's a PTW, with PTW Mag internals in a PMAG. Although, how come you came to the conclusion that the bolt was a deciding factor I don't know... ALL M4 AEGs have a fake bolt, covering the gearbox and hop up... same with PTW!

rolling-thunder Posted March 9, 2008 Report Share Posted March 9, 2008 I thought the multicam on the first gun was brilliant,so good we couldn't see it .It's amazing what you think when you don't look properly{actually i was thinking you were posing as if you actually had a gun,then i realised you were rolling your sleeves up;DOH!} Link to post Share on other sites

-Angel- Posted March 9, 2008 Report Share Posted March 9, 2008 Thats the back of an Eagle plate carrier clone in fake multicam 600D material. Most decent gear is made of 1000D. I can't comment on that particular vest, but the original Ealge plate carrier is a fine piece of kit. Link to post Share on other sites
