Does anyone know if an ICS Readymag system will fit the SCAR-L?  Any other brands that might?

If you have a readymag and are in the Chandler area, I'd love to try and see if it'll fit my SCAR-L.

Hey guys,

I'm back! I decided I was lurking and that I should say hi. Most of you probably don't remember me or never met me as I played with AA 2001 through 2005. I'm hardly new, but I did take about a 3 year break from airsoft. To christen myself back in, I just got a new CA SCAR-L =) Anyway, I wish I had time to catch a game with you guys, but I'm only in AZ for the second half of December before I move out to the CA bay area to (hopefully) join the Cimmerians.

Anyway, looks like AA is as strong as ever and I'll be sure to stop by during big games.

I'm sick and tired of newbies resurrecting long dead threads without adding any substantive information, especially those who lie about their age.  

[Name Deleted] - any more resurrections of threads (read the date, it's not hard) and you're getting banned.  And, change your age in your profile to your real age (which I know is under 18, so don't even try it) or, guess what, you're getting banned.

You ask why?  It's because most of us hit the "new topics since last visit" to find out what to read when we check the site.  And when some newb ends up with 13 posts in his first few MINUTES of joining the damn forums and not a single one of them was worth the bits representing it, it gets really annoying to have to sift through a pile of crap on topics that look interesting but in actuality are long dead and we've already read through them in their entirety.  We're really likeable and accepting, just don't be an asshat and you'll get along fine.  Violate this simple rule and we won't like you very much.  This is a private forum and as such everything you see and do here is a privilege which can be revoked as easily as it is granted.

For those lucky enough to have missed [Name Deleted]'s posting rampage, he posted 13 replies (only one was newer than a week) to dead topics with one or two word answers.  I saved you all the trouble of dealing with it by cleaning it up a bit.  Anyone else who feels like resurrecting dead threads, consider yourself warned as well.

Don't know if you guys have seen this on arnies:

If they can do it right, it might end up being a much cheaper alternative that doesn't require the laborious upgrading that the TOP guns do.  (Which means I might be able to finally get one!!!!)  Though, if I were TOP (or Marui for that matter), i'd be PISSED.  What CA does definitely wouldn't fly here... let's all be glad for the international jurisdiction/copyright/trademark issues being the way they are =)

Sorry guys for the delay in getting the prices that you requested.  I'm going to post them all at once tonight in this thread.  I've been friggin killin myself with work here, but I'll try to get most of 'em up tonight.

I'm looking into getting some Bolle goggles and I'm trying to decide which model to go with.  Any of you owned the Attacker, Defender, Commando or T-800?  Any favorites or pluses/minuses?  I've used Hector's T-800's before, but I wanted to know if I'm missing out on something if I don't try one of the other models.  Thanks,
Nick

PS If any of you are looking to get any Bolle goggles, e-mail me.  I'll try hook up the first couple with prices lower than botach's.

Just wanted to let everyone know that I'll be putting an order in in the next few days.  E-mail me for price quotes on anything you want.  I want to have it all ready to go by Thursday, so let me know by then if you need something (AEG's, BB's, magazines, etc.).  By the way, magazines are still $25 for standards (and G&P's) and $35 for hi-caps.

Thanks,

EDIT:  P.S.  I may be able to get some Marui Decellerators so you can use your upgraded guns at the CQB game.  Let me know if you're interested and I will get a price for you.

Well, I got in some of these puppies a few days ago.  From the outside they seemed normal, just like any other mag (minus the winding wheel), but I can't remember if they were plastic or metal, but it may have been plastic... too lazy to go downstairs and check =).  Anyway, I went and got my loading rod and loaded it up.  Of course, it took 2 full rods, which is amazing in itself.  Two things I noticed at this point.  The Bad: The spring is pretty stiff (may not load with autoloader).  The Good: The spring is pretty stiff (harder to outpace the BB feeding).  

At this point, I ran into my backyard with my M16 and grabbed the mag.  One problem here... the fit was VERY tight.  I think it was because I have the Systema Metal body on mine, but the thing was not gonna come out on its own.  A slight pull and it was out like usual, but getting it in there I had to slap it a little harder than I would a Marui mag.  I think the problem here mioght be the scaling.  From what I've read, Marui scales their guns to just under real size.  So, when I tried a real .223 mag in my airsoft m16 it wouldn't load at all... I think the G&P may be a little more true to reality, but in a plastic body it should fit fine.  Anyway, the tight fit prevented rattle, so after crawling around (silently) in my back yard, I flicked the selector.  Lo and behold, the thing worked beautifully in semi.  A couple of times it popped 2 BB's into the 'chamber' (i think because of the spring strength), but I'm sure that will go away with use.  After I got bored with semi, I flipped it into auto.  Here is where it really shined =)  It didn't skip once!  I resumed my favorite practice of cutting weeds with the stream of BB's flying from my gun.  Only when I was reaching for the mag to instinctively change the "small" standard, it kept shooting!  I know that sounds pretty obvious, but the joy of one-handed quasi-hi-cap firing is nearly transcendant (okay maybe not, but not having to wind is great).  The thing kept on spitting out BB's and by the time I went inside, twice as many weeds loathed the existence of the new G&P mag...

So, in conclusion, if you dont' mind a tight fit or filing the mag a little to make it fit a little better, buy these.  If you want awesome capacity sans winding, buy them.  If you just wasted a ton of money on CA standards, buy these (ahem, Kyle).  If you want to get some, I'll be ordering within a week or two, so if there is large demand, I'll get em as soon as you want em.  Still $25.
