I have played with it a bit with a friend. It's not that bad though but I would really like a scope of some sort because I have trouble aiming down the sights correctly. And it's extremely hard when it's dark out.

If you're playing when it's dark, no scope is going to help you. You need a tac light or a NV scope, the first being the cheaper.
My friend has a leapers scope that lights up so that looked good.
A red dot will certainly help you in the dark. Unless you have night sights, it's pretty damn hard to aim down them in the dark.
A scope however will not, unless it has built in illumination.
I am kind of thinking about buying NVG's after I finish my loadout, good idea?
in my opinion? No, for the few times you'd use it, I don't think the price warrants a purchase.
Unless you have a shitload of cash and would use them for airsoft and non airsoft use, then they're not worth it. A Gen 1 NVG will set you back a good $500 or more, Gen II over $1000, and Gen III, well good luck trying to get one of those in the first place.
Or you can do the cheap way and Go to a store and buy MW2 prestige edition.
The MW2 things are shit. They are just flashlights that 'trick' your eyes and make it appear that they are nightvision goggles. They also would probably break if they got shot anywhere which would make them really unsafe.

Not really flashlights in the traditional sense. They use IR LED lights and use a camera to pick up the IR light that's normally invisible to your eyes. So technically they are NVGs, just very low tech ones. Not only that but if someone else had NVG's they could see the IR light as well coming off your head.
Gen III PVS-14s aren't thaaaat hard to get, those'll run you about $1500 or so, they go on ebay sometimes.

Doubt the ones on ebay are in good condition though. I'd expect to see a bunch of those burn in spots from a used one.

Danish Flecktarn
Seems the guy is attempting to (poorly) do a russian themed loadout, some russian units (most noticeably VDV/Airborne) have a "clone" of danish flecktarn with lighter hues, dubbed flecktar-d.
Edit - Props to him for the VFC ak though (can tell by the shiny finish) and the real steel kobra sight (even if it is a picatinny rail version)
Where can I buy a PASGT fragmentation vest? I looked on eBay but there's none in my size and no surplus stores around my area have any.

I just noticed the rank symbol on his head. If this was real combat, he's just asking to be sniped.
How much of a difference would a 363mm 6.01 tightbore make to a 273mm stock tightbore(6.08 I believe). Would spending the $100 or so on parts, outer barrel too, justify the accuracy increase?
By the way thanks Fragmatic. Only problem is the only place I can find danish flecktarn on sale is ebay.

You'd be surprised. My friend got a pair of PVS-7s in great condition on Ebay.
Anything under 300mm you will notice good improvement going over 300mm+

I wouldn't recommend a 6.01 barrel because unless you are using perfect (expensive, sniper grade) bb's then you will get alot of jams. Since bb's typically have some imperfections and the crap bb here and there, some bb's will get stuck in your barrel. I would say you are better off with something a bit bigger.
Since then I have settled on a 6.03. Will this cause me less problems?
yes. PDI 6.03 are the best you can go
Nowhere can I find a PDI 6.03 around 360 mm. Only pistol legnth tightbores and one for a VSR-10.

80$ for an edgi 6.03
Also the best, I consider them the better then PDI but i dunno preference i guess
[I]Wow.[/I]
It isn't in stock in the size and diameter I want [U]anywhere[/U].

How are Madbull inner barrels?
Edgi makes custom sizes, same price

Madbull inner barrels, hmm hard to say. I just bought one of their Ver.2 6.03 inner barrels in M4 length to replace my CQBR length barrel. That paired up with a new guarder hop-up bucking and I'm still getting horrible accuracy at 15 yards, about as bad as when the gun was stock. Putting some .25g seems to help (shooting at 390fps w/ .20g), but I'm still not satisfied.
Best combo I've had so far was a Prometheus tightbore (M16 length) with a Firefly soft hop-up bucking. Worst was with a Systema Tightbore and any hop-up bucking.
Putting a 6.03 inner barrel in my JG G3.
Medium/High ROF, 380-400 FPS with .2s . I've heard tightbores can make FPS a little higher, but if it gets any higher, I may not be able to play at a field I go to.
The limit is 370 FPS with a .25, over that and they won't let me in. 365 - 370 is the caution area (no idea what they mean by that), and below 365 is their happy area
Caution area is basically saying hey, watch it. Here i've seen a lientency where like snipers is 550 with .25 but if your rifle shoots 555 it's alright (Considering different factors can effect it)
This thread is unfortunately rarely used.
Anyways, where can I buy cheap but not shitty Multicam pants + jacket? I found something here but would like to know if there's anywhere better:
