I liked the style in which you presented the gun's features, however it'd be cool if you added a performance test or something. I guess that'll be on its way soon. It's so badass how the gun has the moving charging handle and recoil effects. The sound it makes is just musical. I would have liked to hear a longer Full-Auto spray

Yea I'll get it lubed up nice and proper and get some more mags for it (soon) and then do a shooting video/poor mans chrono.

Alright, so when I first bought my gun, I also fell into the trap of purchasing one of the really cheap optics. I'm having trouble adjusting the windage on this thing and it's really pissing me off. Even when I adjust it as far as it can go, the dot is still stuck to the left. If I can't figure this out I will be mad for being out of $25 that I could have put into this. I'm going to try opening up the housing and see if there is a misaligned spring/screw or something of that nature. Do you guys think there's anything else I should keep a lookout for? I would post some pictures, but I'm currently at my university.

Generally the cheap optics adjust with a spring pushing against something, when you adjust it it puts more/less pressure on the spring. Not the most accurate adjustment system for obvious reasons. Once you get it adjusted you should be fine for normal AEG use however, replica optics won't keep a zero like a real optic on a gas blow back or real firearm very well either, obviously.

Also, check this shit out:










They are comfortable as fuck, if the knee pads weren't so obvious (like in my dads Field Pants from Crye) I'd probably wear them all the damn time. Crye is like my new favorite clothing maker, and seeing as how I never gave a shit about any kind of clothing I've ever worn in the past that's a big deal! The knee pads are gen 3 apparently and not even advertised on the Crye website. I just ordered the Combat Knee Pads in Khaki and got these ones, which look like they're easier to insert and also have a bit more grip to them. Not sure if they fucked up my order and sent me more awesome knee pads or if they just haven't updated their website yet...

I'll stick to a pair of shitty old jeans and my $25 "Prestige Tactical Wear" BDU coat from Dicks Sporting Goods.

Real men play airsoft wearing a suit and tie.

We have "spy nights" every so often where the gear theme is concealed weapons and suits. Obviously we only do this at the indoor arena...

Just got myself 6 more mags, Crye armor chassis is filling out nicely.

I jumped the gun and ordered the 552 eotech replica. Everything on evike.com is 20% off! Also ordered some digital desert BDU's, a tan vest, and a brown/tan shemagh. For my gun, I ordered .25g BB's, a 9.6v battery, and a universal smart charger. I'm trying to look like these dudes:

Good deal, I'm looking at getting a 552 or ACOG replica with doctor red dot style setup sometime... I think I might just get a real Eotech 552 so I can also mount it on our hunting shotgun.

More pictures of my SCAR, with much much better lighting. I had my friend help me spray paint the vertical grip and magazines. The orange barrel tip was also spray painted black because I'm just asking to get arrested. Also concerning my screwed up dot sight, turns out that the spring pressing on the LED module horizontally was off centered. So when adjusting how far the spring was pushing it sideways, the module would be pressed at an angle instead of shooting directly forward and causing it to be way out to the left. My friend fixed it by inserting a small brass rod to keep the module from turning that angle. The sight is now his, as a gift for fixing it and since my eotech replica is coming in on Tuesday, though I won't be able to play with it till a week from then when I go home for American Thanksgiving.

E: how do I remove those thumbnails at the bottom?
