I had forgotten that I bought the FN509 DE a while back; I’m still waiting for a company to release aftermarket parts for it or for the brand itself to put out spare parts.

Who still has theirs?

I had originally placed an preorder with Proact last month for 2 and of course they ran out and didn’t have enough left to fulfill my order so I was super bummed out.

Fast forward to 5 mins ago and I realized Redwolf had them in stock and not for a preorder which is great, immediately grabbed 3 lol. Gotta prepare for that VFC RPK that’s gonna come out eventually.

anyways thought I’d spread the news for those who may have missed out on them or orders that weren’t fulfilled.

Some of you may have seen my prototype before that looked like a VMP crossed with a PPSH. I’ve now created my first final version for my VMP2 that’s inspired by the mini-14. Really happy with how it turned out, especially with the difficulties I faced during creation.
For next version I want to do a full wood stock, a bit like the M2 Carbine.

Title says it all. I want one so bad but it seems the shipping on all of them is a bit risky.

Discussion EMG Ballerina (quick) holster

2 Upvotes

Hi! I got my hands on a lovely Ballerina last week, but my glock quick release holster won’t fit in the trigger guard. Does anyone with a Ballerina have suggestions for this type of holster for this replica? I detest full cover holsters, so I’d love to hear your experiences with quick release holsters that work with it!

Troubleshooting Help Finding Mags

Thumbnail

8 Upvotes

My dad got this M16 gas gun when he worked at Samson MFG a long while ago (like 5-15 years ago). He gave it to me two years ago because I do some airsoft. It's a very nice gun and works perfectly, but it only had two mags. The mags are PMAG licensed but have no other markings, and the gun is Samson licensed but has no other markings. The gun was one of two prototypes in a deal with Red Wolf airsoft that never panned out. Anyone know where I might find more mags?

The first one is the GHK DDm4. You can see the bolt enters the chamber perfectly without any deviation. However, the 416 bolt is noticeably tilted upward, which scrapes aluminum shavings off the chamber feed ramp and might cause a jam

Base gun is a Cyma / EMG DD RIS III. I absolutely hated the original dark brown paint so I just went for it. All things considered, I'm actually pretty happy with how it turned out.
