Holy Warrior Aimpoint M2 repro and damn is it NICE

Have a Battlesim coming up and you can carry a rifle, pistol and concealed weapon for jail breaks etc etc if caught. Last time I played a Battlesim I hid a rubber knife in one boot and a Mk5 in the other and nearly escaped (didn't really got hosed down with auto fire after 10 steps) and thought one of these might be a good fun addition so I can at least return fire.


Seen shotgun shells in walking sticks and various other ideas but like the idea of clipping this inside my belt / rig somewhere for an escape attempt.

Just hide it in your prison pocket.

Y'know, embrace the LARP.

I've recently decided to play more often and to use different rif's each time, as a result I thought I'd want to use my MP40, Sten & L2A3 at some point. Pouches for the MP40 & Sten were easy to find but pouches specifically for the L2A3 mags are rarer than unicorn poo so might end up using my 58 pattern webbing, the mags do fit in the sten bandolier but are a bit tight...

MP40 pouch from our classifieds
Sten Bandolier from Epic Militaria
& a couple of extra MP40 mags for a decent loadout.

As previously stated, I got a WE CQB M4 to build an L119A1 clone-ish but the flash hider was CW and for me it's iconic to the L119A1, ordered this DB M4 which came today.
Still waiting on the Flash Hider to arrive but this is the build so far...





p.s. Not sure if I prefer the Acog or the Eotech.
p.s.s. I know the waffle stock isn't quite correct but frankly the butt pad is too big for the retro stock I have.

Nice. Both ACOG and Eotech sights have been seen in use so either would work but the ACOG does appear to be more commonly used of the two.

Arrived today.

Yes, I am aware they are meant to be awful, but I like to find out myself! And it was cheap (well, cheap enough to take a risk on)

The mags leak like sieve, it’s heavier than dark matter, but it seems very nice so far.

Externals seem very well made (apart from the plastic bipod clamp, that looks very delicate). I’m hoping the internals are not made of cheese or a cheese equivalent, but knowing Ares I’m expecting a Camembert/brie level of toughness.
The bolt is steel at least.

A couple of shots to test seemed good accuracy over 60 feet, but longer range will tell. I’d like to at least put a better hop and/or barrel in, but again, knowing Ares, that may be a challenge.
I’ve previously had an Ares WA2000 that I tried to do the same, which was a nightmare.

I’ll update my progress if I remember

A trap we all fall in to.

My lite chassis and recon stock arrived for my Tac 41 today. I am always impressed with silverback's plastic quality, I don't think I've come across any airsoft gun that uses better feeling plastic. I still have the full length barrel that came it came with so I'm going to design and print a rail for it to give it more of a CSR look. I also want to print a grip and thumb hole stock to look like the KRG Chassis but for now I like the recon stock enough that I'm not in a rush to replace it
