So
3 new ones to the British collection.
M727
M701
BREN MK2...... (for now)
The M727 with m203 I posted the other day.
Was used by uksf in very small numbers.
M701. For those that don't know, The M701 is an M16A2 but with full auto function. Not the standard 3rd burst. Along with export...
Mines an old guarder one that's been kicking around a spares box for years. Added it just coz really.
I now sixmm have the maddog ar version in stock I think.
So after finding pics of the COLT model 727 with M203 in use with the SAS.
All the pics I have show it in use in Africa, and painted green.
So replicated it best I could.
Yeah, had looks at the velajo burnt earth powder. But it's one of them. Your never sure of the true colour when looking online. And no decent model/railway shops near me at all.
I was thinking about genuinely heating it up. But not sure how well airsoft stuff would hold up.

I am aware of the red ish hue. But am trying to figure out how to best add it without it looking shit. As painting doesn't blend too well.
Airbrush maybe only option. But not something that's I own.
For the burnt look. It's a mix of brown, blue and black paint. Slowly dabbed on with a sponge...
Sorry to hear that man.
I'm at that age now when I play, when hearing a crunch or snap, im Checking myself before the gun now.
So can sympathise.
All the best man.
And love the hitch hikers quote.
