Sweet bro, lookin good. I like the padded belt too. So would you wear that over your pants? i.e have 1X duty belt to hold up your pants and the other as first line?
-
Probably go the two-belt route. Especially with so much on the 1st line.
If I end up with a plate carrier at some stage, I'll probably lighten up the first line...
-
I wonder how long it will take me to catch more of the bug and start doing a full on kit? :o
-
At the moment you're 'experimenting'. Pretty soon after your first game, your fate will be sealed... and you will be as corrupted as we already are ;)
-
8 is right once you have a game or two under your belt you are hooked. Welcome to the dark side!!!!
-
Pift, if my rifle arrives on Friday or Saturday I think I will be hooked BEFORE my first game :P
-
Welcome my young padawan. You have alread started the path to the darkslide\ninja roll decked out in cool military gears.
-
Including the new MICH!
(http://i296.photobucket.com/albums/mm192/propellant/WIP/WIPMich.jpg)
-
That's wicked 8! :D
The shades set it off
-
Figured I may as well show off my new "toy"...

Thanks to Delta for selling it to me and shipping it up safe and sound, and Warren for helping me get to know my way around it and letting me borrow the carry handle. Looking forward to getting it out on a field some day soon ;D
-
looking good bro, cant wait to see it in action.
-

Olive drab shemagh
British DPM woodland camo jacket and pants
RRV Mutlicam Vest (thanks delta)
Golden arrow M183-A3 Shot Gun ( single shot)
Next things i'm aiming for would be good set of glasses (non-fog lol) and gloves maybe
Then go onto MICH 2K helmet etc.
Thanks guys for passing on the bug :P
-
Nice one man.
-
looking good Jay, the best thing about both your photos is that your missus would have had to take them? were there a few laughs and rolled eyes?.....I say this coz I asked mine, she laughed and walked off lol
-
My Mrs happily takes photos, but when i suggest the idea of some 'maraekakastan' style action shots with other dudes, she's all... "That is so gay"
At which point I call in an airstrike to smoke her insurgent ass
-
rofl - I thought you were going to say, "but when i suggest the idea of some airsoft bedroom style action" - as far as I can tell nothing wrong with action possing shots, the girls do it in every photo they get taken anyways.
-
Hahaha R3con, yea the self portrait whilst holding and shotgun didnt work so well :P
Yeah I got a few looks, but we did some various poses, so to speak...
-
Well here is my current load out
(http://i72.photobucket.com/albums/i196/pork_pie/Current%20gear/TaticalVest.jpg)

(http://i72.photobucket.com/albums/i196/pork_pie/Current%20gear/PASGTwithMARPATCover1.jpg)
-
Nice to see you got new lowers so you can run both uppers Porkster
-
Hell yeah the M4 lower arrived today along with an ICS Version 2 anti reversal latch for the M16. So both have a working foward assist to release the springs. Fun part of the morning was taking apart both gear boxes. 1 to install the anti reversal latch in the M16 and 2 rewiring the M4 mech box to rear wiring so can put the battery in the stock. All I am wating on now are some XT60 connecters to install in both to replace the deans!

Lookn good bro :D

RRV arrived this morning (thanks again, Delta). Adjusted most of the straps and it fits great, threaded the pouches etc straps through the MOLLE and it's rock solid.
(http://i76.photobucket.com/albums/j7/WindosBK/Airsoft%20Gear/th_DSC02825.jpg) (http://s76.photobucket.com/albums/j7/WindosBK/Airsoft%20Gear/?action=view¤t=DSC02825.jpg)
Might take it into work so you can check it out some time, 8. :P
-
Yep, no worries :)
-
Got out my gear this afternoon to get everything squared away for tomorrow, planned on taking a few photos of my kit while I was at it. Turned out someone else was more interested in it...
(http://i76.photobucket.com/albums/j7/WindosBK/Airsoft%20Gear/DSC02828.jpg)
Well I was thinking of buying some Cat Crap anyway... but I don't think it's meant to be applied to multicam.
(http://i76.photobucket.com/albums/j7/WindosBK/Airsoft%20Gear/DSC02830.jpg)

Looking good bro.
Any chance of making the pic smaller though?
-
Whoops yeah, could you edit my post to be http://iforce.co.nz/i/te5ygtty.jpg (bugger the link :P)
-
Done :)
-
My Mk18 Mod1 WIP continued...
(http://i296.photobucket.com/albums/mm192/propellant/Mk18%20Mod1%20WIP/QDTDGrip.jpg)
I've changed the foregrip for a G&P Replica of the TangoDown QD grip and added some G&P rubber Ladder rail covers, which are surprisingly comfortable.

Got my glasses today www.zennioptical.com, they have a tone of goggles (what these are filed under) for only 26 usd or there abouts plus shipping. All up these were $53 New Zealand landed, and am really happy with them.
-
Look what the courier delivered today!!!
Thanks Porky for the assistance in getting it in, and quickly whipping up a converter for the Magazine connectors. Thanks R3CON and Porky for helping me unbox it too!
I'll probably put together a review later, but here's some pics to tide you over.

(obviously I had to throw accessories on it)
-
Nice one Eight, I'll have to throw some pics up of my new toy as well.
I bet it was like christmas time round at Porkys for the unboxing. :D
-
I shot a short 5 minute video of the un-boxing but kept taking the camera off what was going on cause was too excited.
-
Yeah it definitely was a bit like christmas, lol. Thanks again Porky bro.
-
Euth,
You need to show us your new S&W :)
-
That thing scares me :P
Had a chance to Chrono/fire it yet?
-
From the few rounds we put through the chrono at Porky's house, it was shooting 390-400FPS on 0.20g BBs... Plenty enough power.
-
My Kit stage 2..
(http://ffqvsg.bay.livefilestore.com/y1pFKnYvIctSlO7j-sMusQORbeMJ0Qi59HocjEJ0Ue0ThPBBcu9atq651F2FWSqd-IU7ZTu2P80Kj3fm0okhbSaz7wChdwfbjFc/s2%20front.JPG?psid=1)
Next..
Midcap mags for m16
Maybe a desert tan belt + some medic pouches etc
M5 rail for m16 + foregrip
and so forth :P
Testing the camo..

@Jay. Starting to look the part bro, nice. My one critic would be to start buying up the same type of stuff. You're looking very manycam in the pics mate. Its always good to see guys buying gear though awesome.
@nick. Hey bro good choice, will be a tricky one to pull off. Not meaning to rain on parades, but do you think it might be better to get your first set of cams etc in something more suited to AHB's general structure? ACU UCP, oldschool woodland, even MC. That way some of the events we will be running in the future allow for you to slot in without having to buy extra gear etc.
If you're looking for something to suit the AK, I would totally be going for afgan talib. Infact Porky, 8ball and myself are on our way to dirty goat herder looks.
If your heart is set on spetnas though, go for it.

Here are some photos of Porkys new toys
Army Glock 17 Metal slide and polymer body
(http://i72.photobucket.com/albums/i196/pork_pie/Current%20gear/Glock%20and%20AK/SDC13997.jpg)
And my Cyma AKM full metal and wood (very sexy!!)
(http://i72.photobucket.com/albums/i196/pork_pie/Current%20gear/Glock%20and%20AK/SDC14002.jpg)
Full reviews to come this is just to get the juices flowing
(Also arrived today is the full size stock for my M4 which is also on)
:D
-
Nice looking kit bro,
How's the G17? Does the Mag seal ok? How's the efficiency/accuracy?
-
Glock feels great good kick and sounds angry when shot too haven't done a full on accuracy test as yet that to come when I chrono it. Mags all sealed good.
-
Does it all fit together well? better than your WE? How does workmanship etc compare with your old TM SIG
-
Fits together very well better than my WE, feels as good as my TM 226 did I am extremely impressed!!
-
ooooo thats a big call bro. TM know their [sand].
-
Once you have a feel of it you will see. Will be interesting to see if performs as well as the TM P226 that's the real test!
-
I'll have to wait on your review and having a go "man handling" it but Army's M.E.U. is starting to look pretty tempting.
-
to my knowledge all you need for the g17 is a better hop rubber and there solid performers, for the meu there pretty good for project guns

Also pictured are my mechanix wear gloves. I need a wider admin pouch now as my current one is a little too small for 5 inch long tapes.
-
nice bro lookin cool.
-
Except for the upside down rank insignia. That what I get for letting the Mrs. re-attach it after ripping it off :P
-
Those name tapes are wicked man, are they from http://www.1800nametape.com/ (http://www.1800nametape.com/) ?
Sergeant King has a nice ring to it lol :)
-
Yeap, ordered on Wednessday last week and arrived yesterday (Tuesday :P) total cost for 2 Name Tapes 2 Branch Tapes and the rank insignia (all with velcro backing) came to 29.99.
Would be cheaper if you get a package (which I will when it comes to my ACU order.
Good quality from what I can tell (never had any from anywhere else so cna't compare) just a few loose threads to tidy up but nothing major.

I love the digital liner in the box. The guns pretty sexy too. :)
-
I think the 1911A1 and the MEU are the only ones that come with a box liner, and not just the black styrene.
-
Got her today, not the most ergonomic weapon of all time, but crikey its cool to hold, will do up a review quicksmart.
King Arms 1928 Thomspson Sub-Machine gun. Tommy gun, Chicago Typwriter, Gutter sweeper. All cool names for a cool gun.
(http://r3con.orconhosting.net.nz/GPX/Pics/1928web.jpg)
-
So are you doing a 20's gangster loadout to go with that? ;)
-
That's class man!
Lol .20s gangsta would rule, cigars and zoot suits FTW :D
-
Nice looking blaster R3CON. It'll be good to see it in action.
-
i Am indeed. Gonna do up a nice custom 1911 and slap it in a brown leather shoulder holster too. Suit pants, waist coat, tie, and ofcourse a fedora hat. Or Warrens suggestion of white singlet (would be alot breezier) Will also use it for a WWII kit too.
-
yeah you feel real special when holding it, you cant help but not shoulder it and pretend to spray bullets from side to side. :P
-
Got my Serpa + Molle mount today.

AIRSOFT RULES

Got my new (to me) G&G MP5 this morning, I know about the trades issue, but at $310 plus a tenner for shipping I cant complain.
In keeping with Robs trend of inapropriate duuve's
(http://r3con.orconhosting.net.nz/GPX/Pics/mp5a.JPG)
(http://r3con.orconhosting.net.nz/GPX/Pics/mp5b.JPG)
sorry pics were from my iPhone this morning so alittle blurry. Good solid gun so far (rear wired so Im gonna biff in the lipo and do some testing with porkster tonite.......btw Porkster we have a date
-
Ok will be over after work for said date. I finish at 6 and need to pack up the Nats stuff so will be over after that.
-
very nice where did you get it?
-
we have to go drop our gear off at Warrens at 6:30pm tonite anyways bro, so mayaswell do it after that. :)
-
Got the gun secondhand Grant. of ASNZ forums
-
Grunta, if you don't have a login to the ASNZ forums (http://www.asnz.co.nz/forums), create one... then get R3CON to sort out your permissions.
-
have just set up my registration under gruntamac
-
cool Ill get them to fix up your membership. We should have a thread for ASNZ - AHB rules recommendations at some point, mainly:
Be careful abvut what you ask on ASNZ there are alot of forum troll who like nothing better than flaming(basiclly abusing) you posts if you are new to the scene, they think they are hardcore oldschool airsoft, but they are not. Take them with a grain of salt as in real life most are pretty decent they just grow huge balls in virtual world.
Take the forums and comments with a grain of salt, there is alot of political manuvering and bull[sand] from a few that spoil it for the many. Dont take anything personal and dont get dragged into a "flame War"
Enjoy.
Welcome :P
-
Dont have this, but if someone could donate a car, just goes to show what you can do with this.
Its called a "FUNVEE" lol

My Latest Acquisition. A VFC SR-635.
Chrono'd this afternoon at 302FPS on 0.25s, with a variance of approximately 2FPS!... so very consistant compression. It feels great to shoot, and on my backyard range, I dialled in the hop, zeroed it, and was getting really good POA/POI (Point of Aim/Point of Impact) out of it. The Magpul PMag Ms feed flawlessly in it, so having 6+1 of them is a bonus. I also get to use my old QD Silencer as well... which cuts some of the top end sharpness out of firing. I'm planning on this being my primary for CQB mostly. However, with its accuracy and range, it'll handle field games too...
It's a very accurate replica of the real-steal version, including ambi-controls (working bolt lock/release), ambi mag release, no foward assist, ridge deflector, URX FF Rail, KAC Low Profile 600m Rear BUIS, KAC Low Profile Front BUIS, PDW Pistol Grip, and PDW Triple-Tap Brake - I know I know, I'm a gun nerd.

Here's the other VFC I now have... although this one is a GBBR.
Gas Blowback, oh how I've missed you!!!
VFC MK18 MOD1.
The colouring on the furniture is much darker and more matt than in some photos I've seen, which is a huge relief. Magazines are super easy to load with the special fitting, and there are no leaks, yay!!. Mags lock back when empty, without exception. Fit and finish is tight, no wobbles. I still need to do some work on the hop, which I might do this weekend. Man, I like this gun. Oh, and the VFC QD Silencer I have fits and locks perfectly! oh yeah... and accurate licenced colt trades - Woop!
Here's a couple of pictures, but it's even more beautiful in the flesh!

-
Is that open bolt too?
Bet it sounds goooooood
-
Yeah it's got a slightly more realistic bolt set up to the early WE GBBs. It's based on the WA System with some modifications. WE were the only GBBR manufacturers to use a bronze tube to seal the bolt action. If you've never shot a GBBR it's definitely a whole different feel to the AEGs we use. It sounds good, a bit more subdued and snappier than my old WE... You wont confuse it with an AEG at all though.

Got home from the game and found these in my letterbox. I literally only just mentioned to Porky that I had these coming in from America at the the game today.

It is really nice having a tighter fitting glove (these are Medium and my current black ones are XL).
A while back Amazon wouldn't ship these to NZ because they were categorised on the site as apparel and therefore subject to duty charges. They are now under tools and gardening if I remember correctly. I went with the el-cheapo shipping (12.28 USD) and they forecast its arrival as: via Expedited Int'l Shipping (estimated delivery date: April 11, 2011) so they got here 2 weeks "early".
TLDR: RAWR! NEW GLOVES!
-
how much was your total bro?
-
29.37 USD.
They are pretty much always on special at Amazon (24.99 "normally" but they go for around the 17.80 mark)
Direct link to the ones I got here: http://www.amazon.com/Mechanix-MG-72-009-Original-Coyote-Medium/dp/B0019I7XAM/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&s=industrial&qid=1301105769&sr=8-2 should be easy to find the other sizes from there.

For once... Fastway lives up to its name.
Order from the Armory waiting for me when I got home for lunch.
1x MEU
2x Extra mags
1x Spare stock tube lipo... for good measure.

(http://iforce.co.nz/i/wsusu0r0.kt3.jpg) (http://www.iforce.co.nz/View.aspx?i=wsusu0r0.kt3.jpg)
My first brand new Airsoft weapon :D
-
how much were the mags each bro?
-
$45 (paid the price on the armory's site for them :P)
-
It may not look like much, but this is the new inner barrel for the MEU above.
It's a Tanio Koba Twist "Hop" barrel. Basic idea being that the rifling in it creates a cushion of air around the BB so it has a longer, straighter flight (because it doesn't hit the sides on the barrel as much on its way out.) Brought from Tokyo Model Company (http://www.tokyo-model.com.hk) for $45 USD incl. shipping.
I'll be doing a threat on test results between stock and each step of the mods I do with this pistol, in case any one else is thinking of picking one up.

n.b. if you are thinking of getting one, they apparently start to stop working and even being worse than a regular barrel if you're shooting over 330 - 350 odd FPS on 0.20g BBs.
-
looks cool bro. Im definately interested on the results you get with your meu mods....for obvious reasons!

It's a bit of a pain having to keep it there... but it's the best place for me till I get a belt.
-
That's a wicked holster bro, where is that from?
-
The holster is from OP Tactical, Inc (http://www.optactical.com/) in the States and the MOLLE clip for it is from Tactical Solutions Corp (http://www.tactical.co.nz) from here in NZ.
Not the cheapest holster solution, but I think it's worth the money. From memory, the holster by iself was $65 USD including shipping...
-
Ah sweet thanks for that, yeah no point getting a flimsy holster and risk damaging your sidearm.

I've finished my KAC SR635.

(http://iforce.co.nz/i/1clrowk5.312.jpg)
Pulled it down to grease the slide and seal the hop to the barrel. Used silicone gasket sealer for this instead of Telfon tape (you can just see the red gunk in the picture).

Fresh from the US Today! My brand new London Bridge Trading 6094C in Coyote Tan. I'm also waiting on an LBT Triple M4 Kangaroo Pouch insert. I figured that since I spent a bit of money on kit, I may as well buy the real deal for a new vest:
(http://i296.photobucket.com/albums/mm192/propellant/LBT6094/LBT6094SIDE.jpg)
(http://i296.photobucket.com/albums/mm192/propellant/LBT6094/LBT6094LABEL.jpg)
(http://i296.photobucket.com/albums/mm192/propellant/LBT6094/LBT6094FRONT.jpg)
-
8 that light makes it look OD. is the picture colour accurate? IF it is maybe the rig i'm looking for should the that colour to serve dual purposes.
-
CB sort of... changes depending on what it is on. It can vary a lot between green and brown depending on what camo you wear under it.
It's not as dark as OD though.
Regardless it will work on top of most patterns and colours and isn't a bad choice if you are planning on getting one chest rig and multiple sets of camo of differing colours.
-
actually think we've had this discussion before. must pay more attention at the next game.
-
Colour is wonky in that picture - white balance is all shot to hell... imagine the floor tiles are cream + black...
As Windos said though, depending on what you wear underneath it, it looks either lighter, browner, darker, or greener...
Also... It's coyote tan, LBT do a coyote brown as well... which is slightly darker. My Flyye Coyote Brown pouches are slightly darker, if you can tell.
-
Looks good to me!!!! Cant wait to see it in person
-
Update. I got the LBT-2645A Triple M4 Insert. It's ready to rock our next game!
(http://i296.photobucket.com/albums/mm192/propellant/LBT6094/6094INSERT.jpg)
I've also got some replica SAPI Plates inbound too.
-
That looks bloody wicked man, how does it compare to your CIRAS in weight?
-
It's a crap ton lighter. It's also a lot less restrictive... I can shoulder a rifle easier, and punch out with a pistol without feeling pinched by the top corners, like on the CIRAS.
-
Just received a Falcon 6.03 tight-bore and hop up rubber for my KJW P226 which I have now installed and teflon modded. Hop rubber has a H style nub which is meant to improve accuracy. From the quick indoor shooting test I did the gun strikes defiantly sound like they hit harder than the original inner barrel but range tests will be required for proper accuracy tests.
(http://i72.photobucket.com/albums/i196/pork_pie/PDW%20P226%20update/SDC10027.jpg)
Chrome and not Brass like the orignal and the hop up rubber is green and is a "55" degree hop rubber so is a little harder than the standard one.
-
My Precious!

I haven't attached the Admin pouch or the 2 dual M4 pouches as I don't think I will need them at this stage.
I have attached two Pantac CB pouches. The double pistol mag pouch on the right hand side and the dual M4 pouch on the right front.
Review to come after skirming it.
-
Looking nice Porkster...
Whats the reason for mounting the pistol and m4 pouches on your strong side? When you've got the majority of your m4 mags on your reaction side?
-
Novice???!!!!!
-
Haha,
All good bro, I was thinking you had some secret super ninja reasoning, that i could steal.
-
Naah but I have now moved them and stacked the mag pouches like this????
(http://i72.photobucket.com/albums/i196/pork_pie/6094/SDC10014.jpg)
and moved the knife
-
lol?
-
Yeah work in progress will get better with a few games under its belt.
-
Stacking like a boss!
Looking good man :)
-
These are the basic ideas I start with when working out pouch placement:
1. I'm always going to be drawing the mags with my off hand - left hand.
2. I want to keep my body front forward to the target, to keep my chest plate towards what I'm shooting at. Twisting my body sideways exposes my un-protected side.
3. I reload at chest height, directly in front of me.
4. When I drop my primary to use my pistol, it blocks any pouches on my front, so I put pistol pouches on my off hand side.
5. I try and keep my right side clear so I can draw my pistol without interference.
6. I activate my PTT with my off hand - left hand, up high is good.
7. I try and keep my right shoulder clear, since I primarily shoot off that shoulder.
8. I want to keep my front relatively low profile, for going prone (like i ever go prone, but still).
There might be something useful for you to take away from this. :D
-
Noted and some changes have been made

My belt kit is nearing completion (insert evil laugh here)

Bit of a blurb for the whores of gear:
MK18 Mod1 Rifle
The M4 CQBR (Close Quarters Battle Receiver) is a replacement upper receiver for the M4A1 Carbine that was originally conceived by the US Naval Surface Warfare Center to provide Naval Special Forces with a light short-barreled weapon for close quarter fighting. With the tactical RIS handguard at its core, it was designed according to the same principles as the USSOCOM SPR (Special Operations Peculiar Modification) program allowing for flexible weapon configurations.
Combining its light weight and compact size with the firepower of the M4A1, the weapon is ideally suited for VIP protection, urban warfare, interior combat, and other similar CQB scenarios. As a result of its growing popularity, the weapon has been developed into a complete weapon system, not just an upper receiver; still called CQBR – but with the CQBR acronym now standing for Close Quarters Battle Rifle.
Subsequently the weapon was named as the MK18 by USSOCOM. The main difference between the Mod1 and Mod0 versions is that the original KAC tactical RIS handguard has been replaced by the Daniel Defense MK18 RIS II tactical handguard. In addition it no longer uses a traditional sight mechanism, and is has been designed so that barrel of the gun doesn’t touch the forend and tactical handguard system, thereby increasing shooting accuracy. As a result, the weapon has been widely adopted by the US Navy Seals and other Special Forces units.

That looks hot bro, well done :)
Did you end up painting anything yourself or got bits pre-fde?

Got a package from Britain this morning, had an order come in through the Elite Shooting Center. Package included a Tokyo Marui Desert Warrior frame and the black three hole trigger from the same gun. Also got a Shooters Design valve key, to make magazine maintenance a bit easier.
After swapping the guts between the old black frame and the new one my pistol now looks like this:

I still want the Rail Set from the Desert Warrior (I was thinking of filling the mounting holes, but I think it'll be good to be able to have a torch on there... and I don't fully trust my painting skills) and the silver barrel from the Night Warrior.

Came with the mask (obviously), a clear regular lens, a black thermal lens, "paintball" style visor, vent plug to be double sure no paint/bbs will slip through, whole tone of paper and two bags (one for the spare lens and one for the whole mask.)
Fits great over my glasses (my main concern) and takes a lot of effort to fog up the thermal lens.

And now my new pistol is here!

Thats a wicked knife 8, whats the background on that? and how do you find the Molle pouch for your leatherman? Nice tight fit?
-
ESEE is pronounced "S" "E" wich stands for Escuela de Supervivencia (School of Survival), Escape and Evasion. It's a brand that the Randall Adventure and Training School are marketing their knives under.
http://www.eseeknives.com/
They used to be R.A.T Knives made under contract by Ontario Knife Company. Now OKC and RAT have parted company. The ESEE Knives have a no questions lifetime warranty.
Randall's Adventure and Training® manufactured (and continues to fully guarantee) R.A.T. Cutlery knives (RC-3, RC-4, RC-5, RC-6) built from 2007 until 2010. We have changed the name of our company to ESEE Knives®. The only thing that has changed is the name. We now market our knives under the ESEE®, Izula®, and Junglas® brand names. Randall's Adventure and Training® does not manufacture or warranty RAT knives built by Ontario Knife Company (RAT-3, RAT-5, RAT-7, RTAK, TAK and Model 1 Folder). These knives are manufactured by Ontario Knife Company even though they were designed by Randall's Adventure and Training®.
As far as the Leatherman? It's not as snug as I would like. I'm contemplating getting another HSGI Pistol TACO and putting it in there - much better retention...
HSGI TACOs rule, you can use em for a variety of magazine shapes and sizes - The Rifle ones will fit AK Mags and hold them snug as well as Stanag or Pmag Mags. The pistol ones work well with multi-tools and torches.
-
btw, I bought both the knife and the multitool in NZ.
-
Ha ha... You must have known I was busy fumbling around the web... I've got a 20+ year old Wave but I have been looking for a decent fixed blade knife for my EDC, I was considering the Gerber River Runner until I saw your ESEE bro!
Links please.. Oh and did you get the Wave with the cap crimper?
And did you get your Taco's in NZ as well?
-
I couldn't justify the cap crimper.... I got the wave for $125 from itools on Trademe.
I got the ESEE from Trademe as well... The ESEE3 is a very good knife too, it's slightly thinner than the 4, better for fine work.
Search for ESEE on Trademe. I bought from Phillux60.
My reasoning for the ESEE, was based on some research about troops asking on blade-forums what knife they should take to Afghanistan.
-
I like the ESEE's too. I was looking at a KBar previously or Sog seal pup (which I think I may still go for depending on the ESEE pricing)
My Multitool is a sad $20 knock off though :(
-
K-Bar or SOG make decent knives. The ESEE-3 is a good one to check out too. It's cheaper than the 4 obviously.
If you're going to actually use the knife, I would suggest doing some reading about the different steels and hardness - particularly when looking at things like chipping/edge-retention/ease of sharpening.
I personally steered clear of any blades with serrations. I suspect I might be on the road to building a knife collection.

EDC guy I follow on the tubes, collects knives and the like (mainly spyder co. type folding knives if I remember correctly.)
I follow a couple of other knife collectors, but I'm sure you'll end up finding plenty of videos from people in the knife community (of which I'm not yet a part of... I just have interesting viewing habits on YouTube lmao.)

I guess it's my day for deliveries... this just arrived on the courier at lunch.

Erm, you know I'm going to be bugging you to try it out at the next game, right? lol
-
OMFG 8! That's so freaking herferaggadgsgsdfghregsd....
-
NICE!
-
Did those Taco's that Buelly mention come with Mince and cheese, or just Salsa?
-
Count down to the written review? lol
-
Nice piece Eight, a fine looking Magpul! and I see you're moving into Multicam...mmmmmm! Awesome camo for Hawke's Bay, especially when the field dries off (in summertime that is...), mind you it was quite effective the other week at AHB1 with everything all died down.
By the way we sell Bahco Sharp-X Sharpeners at work, if you want a good Tungsten Carbide blade sharpener...does all knives, scissor, spades, axes, etc....
-
I got the TACOs from www.optactical.com or you can try www.skdtac.com

TM Night Warrior/MEU Donor Parts
+ 5KU BBU
+ PDI Raven Tightbore
+ Nineball Hop Rubber
+ Hurricane Kimber Tactical Entry II Full Metal Kit
Assembled and tuned by Windos (AHB Pistolsmith). I'm sure he'll review the hurricane kit and his assembly issues at some stage.
I've yet to do much more than fondle this baby, although I can say that holding it, racking the slide, and releasing it into battery are awesome! I'll let you know how it shoots later.
-
That is one sexy sidearm, Windos got some skillz!
So is that your MEU under there somewhere bro?
-
I have some pics I'll upload along with a bit of a write up at some stage.
The donor gun was half of an MEU and half of an Night Warrior (i.e. Night Warrior Frame and MEU slide.)
-
Ahh is see.. awesome work, look forward to reading the write up :)

Finally received the last few pieces to finish my First Line:

-
After googling most of that I can now appreciate how awesome that kit is lol
That' BFG Ten-Speed™ Small Ultralight Dump Pouch' is pretty trippy!
What material does it use? an elastic material or something?
-
Reason you went multi-cam belt kit over coyote tan?
-
I wanted some multicam kit. I figured the first line was a good place to start.
-
FFS >.< stop buying cool kit man ;)

Emdom-MM Dump Pouch
Emdom-MM GPS pouch (I ripped the guts out so it is a small general purpose/IFAK pouch)

-
That's a pretty slick rig there man. nice.

Mmmmmm! I smell Multicam in the air...
-
Bloody wicked kit guys!
Digging that warbelt R3CON, I'd like to go to something simliar myself as my current first line is starting to fall apart abit lol.
-
It's been a slow project but the ICS M16A3's conversion to an M4A1 Sopmod is finished.
As you all know, the M4 has had several changes and it's great to see the set-up how I originally pictured it.
Here's the the M16 back in August 2010 when I brought it off Porky...

Well, it blends into my CB webbing good and looks cool in my serpa.. buut i don't know.. will see :)
-
Cool! if only it was in Multicam :-)
-
Gets grease from your hands all over and use it a few times and it will look even better than it currently looks in the pic.
-
lol now that would be cool! I did read a guide on painting atacs involving various sponge techniques but maybe another time
-
Interesting Jay..... undecided I'll see it in person. The original is cool and your M4 is great, but....... hmmmmm
-
@BJ Yeah man, I'm still undecided myself but it is kinda growing on me and it's nice to have a 'unique' m9
@Windos, respect for pistol-smithing bro, SPRINGS?! gaaah bloody things lol.
-
I recon it looks cool bro.
-
I am with R3CON too! Unique and matches the M4....i like that. ;D

No doubt that the AK's would win

pppfffttt If the m14s joined with the m4s im sorry to say that the AKs will lose (Daves m47 is on the m4s side)
BTW nice kit!

AK's vs M's??? Name your game!

Thanks, yeah need to get it downgraded before I can game her.
Pretty certain she's running a bit hot from backyard shootin lol.
-
So, I got my new Ops-Core Lid... It arrived with some Mid-Cap AK Mags.. If you can find one of these in stock, and its in your size, I would buy it... The lead time for out of stock ones is about 12-14 weeks.... and that's from Ops-Core.
The reason I went for this rather than a clone version, is because I have such a hard time finding a helmet to fit my huge melon... This one does - perfectly!
I can't wait to game with it.
The neoprene Helmet bag is pretty cool too. It's got the Ops-Core logo and "Protecting the Elite Warrior" imprinted on the bag.

awesome dude, now you need the proper sordin stickers

Just arrived, my latest acquisition - a set of ESAPI Non-Ballistic Training Plates from Team Wendy... and yes they weigh 5lbs each.
Team Wendy’s Non-Ballistic Training Plates allow you to train like you fight without risk to life-saving ballistic body armor. The training plates are made from virtually indestructible, density-modifiable, cross-linked polyurethane that will not crack or break when hit, dropped or impacted. Designed to replicate the weight, shape, curvature and thickness of actual ballistic plates, they are stiff enough to hold their shape, yet flexible enough to easily insert into any carrier. The chest plates measure 8.75” x 11.75,” weigh 5 lbs, and have a multi-curve shape. Chest plates come in pairs of two.

sweet dude.
What flavour are the pistols?
-
They're WE 4th gen G19's. I've hardly even played with them but they seem pretty sweet
-
Bastard! That's what I want (but TM G17s) and run with extended mags. Dual wielding pistols just seems so awesome to me :p
-
Torak...the wannabe Gangsta!!!

I wasn't going to hold them sideways... much...

If you dont hold them sideways you cant shoot around corners!

Do you plan to paint it like the reference pic? or keep it el-blacko?
Either looks narly

Probably not. I've seen plenty of all-black 416s used by GROM.

It's not specifically Airsoft gear... but it is related to AHB ;)

Is this that polish setup you were getting bro, looks good, does it carry those plates.

Yeah I have two large SAPI plates in the Plate Carrier.
The detachable chestrig is cool. It means I can ditch the plate carrier if I want, and retain the same load of ammo etc.

Something to help improve my mood:
My new Mayflower Low Profile Assault Armor Carrier arrived today...
I've inserted some custom made soft armor panels (6mm closed cell foam from a gym equipment mat - few bucks at the Red Shed), and some large replica SAPI plates. Incidently it's the most comfortable armor system I've had so far.
Here it is with my Mayflower UW Gen IV Chest Rig mounted on it, and with some First Spear Shoulder pads I took from my other carrier.

Holy.. freakin... [sand] that is sexy 8, no wonder the photos are taken on the bed!
-
That's a slightly disturbing observation man... :-[
-
Yeahhhh sorry about that bro..
How does size compare to CIRAS? looks about the same size but more snug fitting
-
It's very similar to a CIRAS, but without the bulk.
Having worn a CIRAS with soft armor and plates, this is definitely more comfortable. The CIRAS uses the BALCS soft armor shape. The concealment cut soft armor on the LPAAC scoops lower under the arms, so it's not so much like wearing a barrel. The soft armor is also cut narrower across the chest, making it easier to move around in - We'll see how that translates wearing it for long periods....
-
I found the label for the mat I chopped up into soft armor panels:
IRONMASTER
FITNESS EQUIPMENT MAT.
SIZE: 180CM x 60CM x 0.6CM
It's black and textured.... works well.
-
I think my wife has some of those... they're like pilates mats, right?
-
Yup... I think so.
0.6mm is about the right thickness for soft armor/plate backers. It's also about the right flexibility...
-
I was thinking of using camp rolls, but the pilates mats might be better...

Got my glasses today www.zennioptical.com (http://www.zennioptical.com), they have a tone of goggles (what these are filed under) for only 26 usd or there abouts plus shipping. All up these were $53 New Zealand landed, and am really happy with them.
How do you find these when it comes to fogging etc?

Looking good bro

So, finally into my hot little hands is my new primary. It's a "Tackleberry" custom Systema PTW, imported from the UK, consisting of the following:
M4A1 SCK MAX II Ambi (built with all mods done, Semi only, 350fps)
Prime Colt Lower Receiver
Madbull DD RIS II 12.5" (includes machine work for fit) FDE
Low Profile Gas Block
Box of 6 Systema HW M16 Mags
2x Battery
I've then added:
TD Vertical Grip (DE)*
KAC Flip up front BUIS (DE)*
MATECH Flip up rear BUIS*
LE Stock*
CQD sling mount (front)*
VTAC Padded Sling
SpectreDR*
Surefire M952v (Tan)
*replicas
Now I just need to buy an M130 Cylinder, fix the mount on my T-1 Micro, fit the Magpul CTR Stock without ripping up my fingers, and paint it.

Needed a softshell to replace my Beyond L5 Glacier which is now really just a glorified windstopper after ~2 years' use.
-
Nice L5 Amos. I can never find those things in my size (imagine that)...
-
LOL, hell no - that's a TAD Stealth LT. Though the TAD patch was a dead give-away.
You can get a Beyond PCU (they do custom sizing actually) easy through beyondclothing.com. But it's not worth it: Nextec EPIC as a fabric will only function well as a softshell if it does not come into skin contact or if the weave is tight enough (that's why Pantagonia PCU are worth so much $$$). Moment you have body oil, sweat etc on it you lose water repellancy. When that happens even a small drizzle will soak through your jacket. You also can't use ordinary washing powder to wash it, and even if you used NikWax Techwash it's only a matter of days before your PCU loses water repellancy if you use it as everyday wear. Oh, and treating it with Nikwax waterproofing will not work either.
There was a guy on Gearsoc whose Beyond PCU frayed on him a day after he wore them to the range with a plate carrier - can't find the thread anymore, but it definitely existed.
-
Oh yeah, this thread: http://board.gearsoc.com/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=9580&start=15
In short: PCU L5 is an awesome vapour layer and quick-dry softshell, but it is definitely not something you want to use as an everyday softshell. That'll be the TAD Steath LT :D
-
PDW/Side arm M4 I've been working on over the weekend. Just finished it tonight. The battery box at the back is a bit bulkier than I had planned it to be, but function over fashion I guess...
It clips onto my G-code RTI platform so it sits firmly against my waist on my belt. Can't wait to game it :p

That's some crazy gun smithing.
-
Where does the Drum mag fit on?
-
Haha, it definitely wouldn't sit nicely in my hip with a drum mag...
-
SICK!
What pistol grip is that? is it compatible with a G&G M4?
-
It's a G16 grip, quite a lot of manufacturers make them... they should fit on a G&G, grips are pretty universal.
