The Official Questions Thread Version: "Charlies in the trees, what do I need to get rid of them?" - General

So I'm looking into buying a set of Multicam(combat shirt and pants), it looks like my best options are 5.11 tactical, LBX, or Propper. Which way do I go?

I'd personally tell you 5.11 but that's just because I've heard good things about a few of their products. I don't have much hands-on experience with any of them.

I'll tell you 5.11 because a CCT that came to my school to do PT with the JROTC dudes was wearing crye pants and a 5.11 combat shirt and he made the point to say that with some of their softgoods, crye stuff really isn't that great and they cut corners in some of their stitching so he went with 5.11.

A fair portion of impressionists run Crye Pants with a 5.11 top

Where to find replacement charging handle(with spring and guide) for VFC style AK?

hk-parts.com good to go for AEG purchases?

[QUOTE=apoctank;45462338]hk-parts.com good to go for AEG purchases?[/QUOTE] Don't know about AEGs but that's where I ordered the suppressor for my anti-notrabies MP5k build. [url]http://facepunch.com/showthread.php?t=1260776&p=45362949&highlight=#post45362949[/url] It's still in transit right now so shipping is kinda slow (as expected really) but it seems reputable enough. My paypal went through with no problem. [editline]21st July 2014[/editline] Also AfterShip is the best package tracking app. [t]http://i.imgur.com/lVqAP4s.png[/t] [editline]21st July 2014[/editline] So I really want to get combat pants in RG, but TMC is the only repro I could find and I'm not stooping to TMC level. I found this: [url]https://www.facebook.com/montbardgendarmerie/photos/a.406545152716069.84368.403340343036550/406545222716062[/url] which is an Indonesian-made repro that seems a bit better than the TMC but it's $80 shipped to the US. I have no idea if that's a reasonable price, is it? I still have to get kneepads too.

are those supposed to be the all-weather ones or just regular g3s? the fabric looks really shiny. as always i'd recommend that you save the extra $100 and get the real Cryes because you're already halfway there but I'm racist against repro gear so do what you like lol [editline]22nd July 2014[/editline] also i got one of these today [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/wDf8xTSl.png[/IMG] [editline]22nd July 2014[/editline] related

What's the difference between the AC and G3? All I can tell is the kneepad/stretch fabric area design.

well clearly I don't know the difference lol

that website always makes my day

Okay so the shop that's sponsoring my team is giving me the chance to get some AK mags on discount. Midcaps from APS and Pirate Arms Lowcaps from Kingarms and G&G Any tips/experiences?

APS a shit, no idea who Pirate Arms is, King Arms are good but sometimes need lubing to feed properly, and G&G isn't bad either but also may require some lube.

So my TM MP7 is apparently chrono-ing at about 200 FPS. is this normal? It's supposedly an older gun. should I worry about it? It still shoots straight and everything and it's POSSIBLE that the gun was chrono'd using .25s instead of .2s When I go to play on Sunday I'll make sure that i measure it with .2s to see if my buddy was just full of shit or what.

If it was shooting .25s or has just been used a lot then 200 FPS sounds about right to me. They're only marked has having 260 FPS brand new.

[QUOTE=PrusseLusken;45477010]hey, have any of you guys had problem with soviet-propaganda.com being slow as shit at shipping? i ordered a gorka to use while hunting on july 13th. on july 20th i dropped him a mail and asked him why he hasn't shipped it yet, a week after ordering. got a mail on monday (21st) and he told me he was oh so sorry for the delay, and that'd he promised to send it the same day, and give me the tracking number. it's been two days and he still hasn't sent me a tracking number. kinda disappointed that it's been ten whole days and he hasn't even been to the postal office with it. considering it's going to take 2-3 weeks in transit, it's a pain in the ass knowing it's only gonna be longer until i get it until he decides to get his thumb out his ass and do something about it.[/QUOTE] bug him some more i got the same issue while ordering my ana gork (s-p has gone down the shitter, profarmy and frontowiec infinitely preferable now)

Has anyone tried to see if an MP5 mag will fit in a pistol FastMag?

dont see why it wouldnt.

They do if you banana them outwards. Don't fit sideways.

that sounds really awkward what about those straight MP5 mags? those might be dope as hell in a fastmag

Anybody got the link to those neat-o Israeli gun bands for the M4? Is this the right shit? I remember them being black and not tan for some reason. [url]http://www.zahal.org/products/idf-elastic-rifle-bands[/url] [editline]23rd July 2014[/editline] Also anyone have experience with these or similarly mounting a sling to the front sight post? I want to mount a sling using topside sling mounts so the rifle will hang right side up on a rack. [url]http://www.zahal.org/products/sling-adaptar[/url] [editline]23rd July 2014[/editline] and I want to do it without any tacticool qd sling points or rail mounts etc shit

if you just want it to hang like that on a rack but not necessarily while you're using it, just run the sling through the front sight post. like so: [t]http://i.imgur.com/cbONnRP.jpg[/t] can have it hang rightside up on a rack, the when you take it to the field you can just move it back the normal way so it hangs sideways on your body like normal sorry for the blurry picture, it was a bit difficult holding my 9lb gun in one hand then trying to take a picture with my left hand when I also have horrendously shaking hands

Awesome. Thanks mane, I'll prolly just do that then if my sling fits right.

Hey guys, question. Im pretty sure I saw like the only kwa mk23 here in my province (couldnt find it anywhere else in Canada except at Milsig which sell there guns 10x the normal price). Would buying this handgun be worth the $350 out of the box?

Secondly, if you do decide to go after one, they shoot at around 375-400 FPS stock, so you might want to check your fields limitations on pistol velocity.

I bought a KWA/Umarex Mk23 when they were still pretty new. It did not impress me. Literally the only thing I liked was the finish on the frame, everything else about it was meh. So now I have an old-school KSC pre-'05 hardkick one with a ZEKE aluminum slide and barrel and enhanced aftermarket springs. 1000x better but I'll probably never ever find spare parts or mags for it.

my manager/friend/teammate has an old KSC mk23 I almost bought for $75 I just didnt need any more guns.
