Madbull have sent over details of their Adam Arms gas block kit:
Adam Arms has been providing excellent retro-fitted gas piston systems for the AR-15/M-16 rifle in order to convert them into modern day platforms that will continue to be relevant for many more decades to come. It is because of that ingenuity that Madbull is proud to announce the airsoft version of the Adam Arms Gas Block Kit system. Each kit comes with the famous Adam Arms gas block, interchangeable gas tubes, 10” gas tube for mid length system, and 8” one for carbine system. Each gas tube features a built in spring guide. The gas block is built with a R.I.S. rail for attachments and comes with a switch block so the user can adjust the amount of pressure that’s routed backwards to cycle the bolt. Obviously this feature is only made to imitate the real product and serves no function for airsoft but it is a unique feature that displays Madbull’s attention to detail in making an accurate replica.
Package include:
– 1x Adam Arms Gas block
– 1x 1:1 adjustable gas tubeFeatures:
– Adjustable replica switch block
– Built-in Spring guide
– Midlength and Carbine type gas tubes
– Adam Arms engraved R.I.S. gas blockClick for more info and photo>>

FCS now have access to a new site in Bournemouth:
Hi guys, We’ve recently been granted access to a Hostile Environment training site in Bournemouth, and we’d like the support of the community in making this a successful airsofting venue. Our first event is OP: Furious Angel, and can be found here
A quick description of the site:
Location
The Training Grounds
Hurn Road
Ringwood
BH24 2BTDescription
A hostile environment training facility spanning 150 acres – there is very little that The Training Grounds don’t have. Industry professionals are able to train in off-road driving, HECPO training, advanced medical courses, close quarter combat, tactical firearms, and more. The main compound contains a classroom, toilet block, kitchen and office facilities, and there are numerous checkpoints and features (including 50 acres of dense woodland) scattered around the site to keep things interesting. Visitors have access to the full range of facilities, and a number of 4×4 vehicles to use in scenarios and exercises.For visitors from farther afield, there are numerous accommodation options nearby, one of which can be booked through ourselves at £25 per head, per night (sharing a twin room). If you would like to book, please email us here: andy@firefight.co.uk with details of your accommodation requirements.
To get to the site, follow the signs for Matchams Karting, and you’ll soon come across signs/marshals for the site.
If the event is a success, we have the green light to run future events there. This is a fantastic opportunity for us to add even more choice for airsofters local to that region.
Latest intel on the OP can be found here.
Best regards, Andrew Janson Managing Director, FCS

This video will show the steps needed to make a chain sinnet paracord pouch. You can make the pouch larger or smaller than the one demonstrated, used as a soda/beer/cola can koozie, water bottle wrap/sleeve, etc… You just need a spool or hank of paracord long enough to work with. The shown pouch used just under 50 feet of paracord, so a larger can koozie, or water bottle sleeve would require a good bit more, but how much would depend on many factors including size of the object, how tight or loose the chain sinnet is made along with the spacing of the work.
DROP-LINE RAPID Line Deployment System shown in video: http://countycomm.com/dropline.html
Or see my blog posts on making your own:

http://stormdrane.blogspot.com/2011/08/paracord-carabiner-spool-part-ii.html
The working end is coming off your supply of cord, so if you run out, you can add in more cord by sewing, melting, or gluing in a new strand to the the end that came up short, if needed. But you should be fine with a 100 ft hank, or 300′, 500′, or larger 1000′ spool of paracord to work from.
If the line gets twist in it as you work, just rotate the supply spool/hank, or the work in hand a couple of times to untwist it, then continue.
There may be a particular crochet term for the chain sinnet, which can be done in different variations, but I’m not sure what it may be. This project may be workable with a crochet hook as well, but I haven’t tried it with one… YMMV

The Robinson Armament Co. SG XCR — RDC is a multi-caliber, gas piston weapon system developed by Robinson Armament Co. for U.S. Special Operations Command (SOCOM) to satisfy the requirements of the SOF Combat Assault Rifle or SCAR competition. Manufacturing by SOCOM GEAR ensures very high end quality and performance. Clocking in at about 390 FPS / 1.4j from its 120 round midcap magazine, this is most definitely an out-of-the-box skirmish ready weapon. What separates the XCR –RDC is its extended carbine length outer barrel and rear-wired fixed stock for rear battery storage. The XCR – RDC features an integrated rail system for mounting anything from vertical grips to lights. It also features a fully functional ambidextrous bolt release. It takes a standard type AR magazine so sourcing extra magazines could not be simpler. The weapon comes with a blaze orange tip flash hider. The gun will feed standard M16 magazines and uses 14mm CCW threading for more flash hider and silencer options.
Package include
– 1 x SCG XCR- RDC

http://airsoftoutletnw.wordpress.com/Spartan Imports is one of the bigger airsoft players at SHOT Show, and often brings a number of new products to the show. This year, they had a slate of products delivered for the show, but some of them were unavailable for display. A couple of Tango Down rifles in 20 inch DMR and 7 inch PDW configurations were not yet approved for licensed release, so I was unable to provide photos of those. However, there were still a couple of unique surprises in store.
