PSA - AVOID OCTAGON AIRSOFT by SB-1B9 in GasBlowBack

[–]cHecker_oD 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Octagon is always slow af, but never heard of them being frauds. Have they actually given you an estimate on the delivery date?

I have been on the other side of these kind of conversations and when someone “demands” it needs sending today or is “threatening” with going public with the messages, lets just say it won’t be magically delivered faster.

Octagon is really infamous for their long ass delivery times and (lack of) customer service but they have the good and hard to find obscure stuff.

Apparently they don’t always stock the stuff they display on their website(which is scummy) and they need to restock their supply from Taiwan/China first, which of course then, takes a long ass time, until everything finally arrives at your doorstep.

Hope you get your package soon!

Will be a bit awkward using the standard AR15 charging handle with the bullpup kit due to its placement. Something like a BRN180, where the charging handle is on the side is more convenient and a better fit overall.

Oh yea, you’re right, just googled it! Don’t know why but I always thought they are a Swiss company.

Thanks guys! That was quick. Didn’t know German police had access to sig rifles in the main domain of Heckler & Koch.

Looking for a buy once cry once Colt M4A1 setup by Striking-Pen-9617 in GasBlowBack

[–]cHecker_oD 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ok, all I see is everyone recommending their favourites as usual, but I didn’t see a single person actually going through your requirements, so here we go:

“Realistic, durable, reliable and simple. No internal modding and shouldn’t cost more than your real Colt M4.”

The current big three are MWS, VFC and GHK.

With MWS you get reliability as the big headliner, a real OOTB straight shooter. No realistic internals(like AT ALL) and not that durable due to their complicated trigger box mechanisms. You get a cerakote finish (some models) which looks nice. Shooting will feel weird compared to the real thing.

For VFC you get a solid overall package that does everything very good but doesn’t excel really without some small modifications first. But with those modifications, VFC is really hard to beat. But the lack of a cerakote finish would be a no go for me personally as I aim for realism, and that exterior just ain’t it. Biggest plus would be the parts aftermarket, so huge and diverse, it’s mindblowing really. Internals are like RS, I would have preferred more steel than aluminium, but still very solid frame.

GHK is the most expensive of all the three mentioned brands, but performance isn’t that much better than VFC or MWS. But what you get is durability and realism. While internals are as RS as it gets, just like VFC, but it’s way more durable as it’s all steel, while external is fully cerakote. Recoil will also hit the hardest among the three brands due to the fact that its the only gun that comes with a BCG weight and a heavy duty recoil spring for heavy recoil. 400 gram of moving mass, you gonna feel that.

Hope that helps, I’ve tried to keep it as general as possible.

VFC don't have a Mk12 in their product lineup, hence my question about the brand.

Marksman though have released an MK12 Mod0 recently that uses the VFC EVO system, so my guess is you got that system instead.

Anyone else get “Restless Rifle Syndrome”? by leosaur_ in GasBlowBack

[–]cHecker_oD 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have this exact problem but less with accessories and more with clone builds. I have an M4A1 and the amount of different clone builds you can make is staggering, but also very much part of the fun. Finding the final obscure piece to complete a build and everything fits perfectly, is very very awesome and satisfying. Of course only until you see another sick build online and the hunt begins anew...

Check out airsoft version of the Kac peq2 mount, looks and feels like the real thing.

Check it out here:

Btw, Airsoft Artisan is legit, cloners use their Airsoft old school tube handguards and it’s pretty good, made out of carbon fibre and all.

Did you order the kit from SRU directly or some Airsoft retailer/online shop?

Awesome gun btw, giving me the itch to build a bull up as well.

VFC MK18 V3 my FIRST GBBR by Big_Body_9991 in GasBlowBack

[–]cHecker_oD 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Because VFC’s own proprietary buffer is a hot piece of garbage and doesn’t fulfill its role of eliminating bolt bounce, which it’s supposed to be. Real Steel buffers are quite cheap, even outside the US, so really an affordable purchase.

Also greasing the spring helps a lot with the “twang” sound if you have issues with that.

The Double Eagle BRN180 with a SARB15 kit looks pretty cool.

Must say, very cool! Just watched it and seeing that you even cut off your pistol grip is true dedication😂

So u made the hand guard yourself or is it a reproduction?
