Man do I miss using my M500 at the old Phoenix location. I hate every single SCAR out there, the look of them is just disgusting, but you my friend have made a masterpiece.

Thanks. I've wanted a 500 ever since I saw yours way back when I started playing. While I love tri shots, nothing beats the sound of the 500 racking.

I was just looking through some of your older guns, and I cannot believe that you recently found a TM SPAS 12 stock. I have been looking everywhere for one for about a year now, and if you ever end up selling it/ the shotty itself, please let me know.

They are pretty damn hard to find. Basically search Ebay Japan and forums from other countries. In the end you will probably have to send a lot of money to some person who doesn't speak or read English and hope everything works out.
There is a line forming of people who want it if I ever sell it. Chances are I never will.

We all knew you'd get one eventually. The jamming, locking up, and trademarks are disappointing though. At least it all seems to be correctable. I'll wait for one of the aforementioned 15 year-olds to think that theirs is broken because it keeps jamming and buy it off them for cheap.

It honestly looks like KWA put a few drops of silicone oil on the inner mechanism and shipped it. I'm disappointed because all of my previous KWA GBB have been extremely reliable right out of the box. I hope quality control isn't dropping to make up the cost of the Umarex trades.
The trades do suck, but I'm happy with the work they did on the frame. The frames trades aren't 100% accurate but they are good enough to make me happy. The only really bad frame trade is the 6mm BB which looks printed and removable. The frame is a soft rubber coated polymer and it feels awesome.
Once all the 15 year old kids buy one and realize they can't hold it they will probably sell them cheap.
Lastly the mags are specific MK23 mags. KP45 mags will not fit.

What kind of holster do you run with the mk23? I assume it still fits some of the universal ones but just thought I would ask and see. Quite the collection, makes me want a glock.

I don't have a holster for the MK23 yet. Whenever I use one I use it as my primary.
Both my Grandma and Aunt are both very good seamtresses and I am going to have one of them modify a drop leg I have by extending the straps and reinforcing the factory stitching. The MK23 itself will fit in any large universal holster, but it's getting it to fit with the LAM unit that's difficult. If you don't have the LAM on it you might as well just use a regular USP.
I've had enough of airsoft Glocks. I've never had luck with them. They are being sent out for a trade that is much more interesting to me.

Classic Army HK416 prolineMetal body, metal RAS. 8mm blowback gearbox from the CA LWRC. I honestly started to believe this AEG never existed. Our Spartan rep said they couldn't get one, every site I found it listed on said it was out of stock, and I was only able to find one short youtube review on it and I started to think he had a VFC not a CA. There were a bunch of pre release photos, but that was about it. After lengthy delays in the ordering process, constant out of stock emails, and a bunch of arguing in broken English, I've got one. It has a convertible outer barrel. The crap all over is the putty that was used to cover the trades. I've been picking at it for a few hours, still have a little left. The piston system is there. It uses a slightly modified version of their SCAR's hop up. The crane stock fits large cell batteries. Or in my case, an 11.1 25C 1200mah lipo in each tube. Fast battery swaps. My draw to the 416 is the same as the SCAR, it has a raised top rail. I wear a mesh lower face mask and it adds a little bit of height to my cheek. With the M4 I really have to strain my neck to see down my sight. With the SCAR and 416 the raised upper rail makes it so much easier to use. SL8 railMy SL9 now has an SL8 extended rail. I need to source some medium rings for my scope to fit. I think the extended rail helps balance out the thumb hole stock better than the C rail. Fun as hell load outI don't really need to explain this one too much. The sheer volume of firepower is hilarious. Currently both bolts are out while I install a new cylinder and an MP7 nylon valve. For those who run an MP9 and want reliable CQB FPS levels try to track down an old KWA MP7 nylon valve. It was shown on the KWA forums installing this valve (the white one on the right) drops 30-40 FPS.

Oh snap. Where did you get that top rail on the SL8? Ehobby?

Glad it went to a good home. Dangerwerx also makes a machined aluminum valve that will reduce the FPS to anywhere between 330-340.

Yes I did get it from Ehobby. It is the STAR rail. There is a noticeable difference in feel between the STAR ABS rail and the CA nylon fiber body. However looking at them the finish is very close. Definetly worth the $30 something it cost.

I LOVE that 416! So beautiful! Same with the MK23. The stippling looks really comfortable. One question just because I'm curious, is the 416 blowback? I've never seen a piston like that on any other rifle. +1 for an awesome loadout man!
EDIT: The only thing I would change on the 416 is to swap out the crane stock for a full stock. I personally think that 416's look absolutely freakin' sexy with a full stock. Just my .02 cents, it still looks absolutely beautiful the way it is.

It isn't connected to the gearbox and has no function.
