might not do the satchel thing for now since I want to remain light. Kepp my mages in my pocket for now.

Stuff arrived. Screwed up and forgot to order a NA charger since the MP5 came with a european one. Probably pick up a spare battery as well on this order. Decided against the z-tac headset after listening to some better indepth reviews so I contacted Red Code via facebook to get more info on their headset compatibility. So will have to make another order. Ordered some dirt cheap ebay items from china for kicks. a $6 sling, a couple $5 shemaghs all with free shipping lol.

Holster came today and is sitting at home waiting for me. Christmas came early

Check out our gear buy-sell for local cheap stuff: viewforum.php?f=42

If you manage to keep your pockets stable, you'll do OK without the satchel.

original plan is to see if I can sew the condor MP5 pouch directly into my front pocket. The measurements look like they will fit nicely but yes, they could just end up flopping around annoying me. I noticed on ebay that China has a bunch of satchels for between 10-20 dollars, might just get one and I can always use it for a lunch bag or something if i don't need it for playing.

Right now I am just trying to throttle my buying. I get carried away too easily. Trying to keep it down to the remaining necessities. When all said an done I will probably have dropped at least a grand

I don't know if anybody knows of code red, but the sales rep got back to me and I am leaning towards the signal 21 and an ear piece. Trying to decide over communications options has been the most difficult simply because I know how crappy headphones and head sets can be.

It is very easy to buy gear indeed.

Code Red? ( https://www.coderedheadsets.com/default.asp ) Looks like mostly in-ear rigs with some clear-tube lines. Lots of players use this type of set-up. Though I'm not sure of the brands.

Took the upper section of the glock apart to see how it worked and to change the barrel. I think I put the hop up arm back on properly. I think the gun might be a little faulty though from the box or maybe it just needs to be worked in. It took forever to get the slide off. I think it might be catching on the rear "hammer" assembly. I didn't want to push to hard and break it. Finally, I had to giggle it back and forth a few times rather sternly to get it off.
