So I was disassembling my MP5k and broke the little tiny screw inside the mag release button. (This one: [url]http://i.imgur.com/g7fLYE7.jpg[/url]). Now my mags don't stay inserted and I have to hold in the square piece on the other side of the magwell that the screw is supposed to attach or else it'll pop out. Tried looking for the same screw at a hardware store but they just don't make them that small. Is just buying a whole new mag release the easiest solution? I found this but it's ICS so I'm not sure if it's compatible or even includes the screw at all: [url]http://www.evike.com/products/26103[/url] Any help? [editline]2nd August 2014[/editline] the curse of the anti-notrabies mp5k is real

Jeez, you have had more problems than literally all 3 of my Galaxies put together. I'd say ICS would fit but they're pretty frequently a little weird so there's a chance it won't. Also, just in case you didn't know the MP5K does use a normal MP5 mag release.

[QUOTE=notrabies;45577684]Also, just in case you didn't know the MP5K does use a normal MP5 mag release.[/QUOTE]Yeah I figured. Can't find replacement parts other than that ICS anywhere though.

[QUOTE=Apache249;45574880]Nope, those aren't what they're using; those are the Chinese knockoff. These are the real deal: [url]http://www.tacticaltailor.com/oakleysiassaultgloves.aspx[/url][/QUOTE] Damn, those look good. Thanks. :3

help are there any PASGT helmet replicas that AREN'T shit or am i going to have to spend a bunch on a real one

Just get a real one, they're not at all expensive.

A good replica helmet would probably cost more than a real one lol. Most surplus stores have them for ~$50.

yea and then when shtf youll have a real kevlar helmet

What are the mounts on the side of a FAST style helmet called? I'm looking for a moderately priced Contour mount for my helmet, since my elastic mount isn't large enough to go around my helmet, as well as there not being enough room on my helmet with the patches and the straps and whatnot.

Classic Army M249 Para for 200$, should I do it?

Definitely a great platform for a support gun.

I'm gonna try and hop on it before my coworkers do. I don't have a field gun yet, and I'd love to run a support weapon.

My buddy is trying to sell his echo1 M249 for 250 if any of you guys are interested. He's not really getting any bites on facebook

So I'm thinking of CQB-ing my As Val. Seeing if I can order another outer barrel suppressor part and have it cut down for CQB/Secondary use (id still have the long one to switch back and forth to). Here's a photoshop'd mockup: [img]http://i.imgur.com/CNObCo7.png[/img] Imagine an side mount + eotech (or maybe PKA) and vert grip on suppressor. Will have to sacrifice the rear sights though so pretend its not there. Yay or nay?

If you're gonna go short, I feel like you should attempt to copy the unsuppressed VAL: [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/Zp6UM88.jpg[/IMG]

That looks neat too actually. Just that I don't think I'd even be able to find a barrel like that anywhere :(

[QUOTE=Zero_X54321;45594077]My buddy is trying to sell his echo1 M249 for 250 if any of you guys are interested. He's not really getting any bites on facebook[/QUOTE] that's incredibly expensive for a used a&k

[QUOTE=the_killer24;45595248]that's incredibly expensive for a used a&k[/QUOTE] What's a fair price for it then in your opinion?

My lil plate carrier that I have used for like a year and half decide to take the shitter. PALs webbing decides to start ripping and can't hold up to the weight. What are some good coyote brown, tan vests would Facepunch Airsoft community recommend that is under $100? I don't really mind if there is a cummerbund, I will never go for a crossdraw vest. I would not mind having it shipped over to Canada, provided shipping isn't like half of what the thing is worth. PS: I don't know why Facepunch thinks I am American.

I think he's saying he doesn't know why the site gave him a US flag when he's from Canada.

[URL="http://i.imgur.com/8eBMZtH.jpg"]My CM16 Raider just arrived today, but after a brief examination I noticed the tip seemed to be missing a piece. [/URL] I've tried to compare it to other close-ups on google but the bright orange tip photos kinda make it hard to tell, but I wanted to ask - is this meant to be part of the gun?
