Airsoft projects... gotta love em.
Next - a TM/PDI L96 AWS in Olive Drab. Okay, no OD rifles in the UK, black then. Haven't ordered the rifle yet but have got an AirsoftPro aluminium loading ramp in my paw with a Laylax precision cheekpad and Laylax QD swivel adaptors on their way; along with some MP40 110 round magazines for the Sten gun I don't have yet! That's for my WW2 British para project. Oh, and a King Arms QD P90 Silencer. At least I do have a P90 to attach it to.
Pistol projects are currently on hold. Still have a Colt .25 that works great but looks like crap after I sanded the shit out of it. The slide quality is pretty poor and pitted so really needs filled and sanded smooth before a respray. I have bits to rebuild a TM Deagle as a chrome version; albeit with black controls. Could really do with a silver inner barrel though. I'll get some pics of the Colt up shortly.

Sniper rifles. Their part in my downfall.
I like sniper rifles. I have four. A TM PSG-1, a Tanaka AICS, a absolutely mentally customised and painted PDI/TM-G-Spec - currently without an inner barrel - and a Chinese knockoff of Maruzen's weird SR2; Weird looking but currently my tool of choice.
The PSG-1 was bought as project to and when last tested managed to double tap 0.29 AGM's out at just over 400fps. The double-tap issue has never been solved. To be fair it's an overly long, creaky piece of kit that'll never see a skirmish site. The scope and bipod are pretty cool though.
The Tanaka is a beast. PDI 6.01 barrel and a new hop chamber with the bolt modified with a DIY power adjuster. Both mags have been uprated with some uprate kit I can't remember the name of. An AI type bipod rounds it of. It's heavy and despite copious amounts of tinkering completely unreliable and inconsitent. Whihc is a shame because I'd dearly like it to work.
The G-Spec now looks nothing like a G-Spec and is an Olive Drap kryloned cannon. Nothing wrong with it though, fires at around 500fps with a 0.2 although it's barrel currenly resides in the Tanaka. I've just, well, never really liked it after I'd finished it.
The ACM SR2 is a strange looking thing but surprisingly accurate and with a bit of fiddling about with hollowing the piston out to take a bigger spring actually quite powerful. It's lightweight, short and I actually like it.
Of course, what I actually need it a stupidly upgraded TM L96 AWS...
