The 'What have you just bought' Thread

Be careful with the Chinese clone PSO-1’s, most of them can’t be zeroed at all and use a weird mix of SVD and AK rail mounting so a decent fit is hard to achieve
 
Picked up a Chinese repro "Berezka/klmk" suit from whatever company they're calling themselves this month. I think it was Camofans this time.
Pros: price was very good at £45 including postage and uk VAT.
For a package coming from shanghai the delivery only took two weeks so it was reletively quick in the scheme of things.
It seems to be on good condition out of the package with no loose threads or open seams which sadly isn't always a guarantee.
Cons: the colours aren't quite right with the digitised leaf pattern been too dark compared to the original items but its serviceable for the price.
This one is subjective but the cut is definitely closer to a thin summer uniform rather than the oversized oversuits they should be.
Overall a decent suit for the price and reasonable alternative to tracking down originals.

It was cheap, I have always wanted one and it is probably going to be the basis of two utter abominations. The infamous JG Sniping Gun!

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 😉

That looks to be my old one, had a mark in exactly the same place from the safety lever. It is very well made and ridiculously heavy and not all that skirmishable sadly. Upgrades are pretty much non existent and lots of propriety parts, it's why i got rid of it sadly, as nice as it was to play around with it is ultimately a wall hangar.

Takes AEG buckings and a 590mm barrel and that's about as far as you can go upgrade wise FYI.
