German water bottle, cheapish and scruffy, not important as I only really want the cup.
Period pocket wire cutters, not military marked but just the job.

The is a plastic RASC and a plastic Royal Pioneer Corps (like the picture below:) for sale at the Surplus Shop in Illkiston, Derbyshire. there might be more plastics at that shop, but that's all that caught my eye when I was in there yesterday.
A Proud Member Of 'Team Spleen!' who play mainly at Gunman Airsoft, Tuddenham, Suffolk.
If they have a Royal Irish Fusiliers, Army Education Corps, Prince of Wales Vol[South Lancashires] or the 2 part Royal Airforce[officer] then I'm very keen.

Just got myself a pair of mustards. Just need to find a pair of leggings and an M41 jacket and I've got a full US infantry kit!
Got this little beauty today for a steal at £40
Western arms beretta M1934 pocket pistol (lower left, next to my p38 for size comparison)
This thing is awesome,slightly smaller than a ppk and with double the capacity of my p38 makes me a happy happy man 
It's in nigh on perfect condition with only a couple of scuffs on the previous owners desk. Would I be right in thinking these are pretty rare?
Nice M1934 !!
Got another IMCO petrol lighter
The German water bottle turned out to be a nice steel red painted late war version. The cup is steel and the interior painted red too. Strap needs feeding and repair, a nice addition to the collection.

Zeta Labs Mosin Nagant with PU scope and bent bolt handle arrived this pm.
Its a lump! As heavy as the real thing.
I'd have liked the spring version but this has the gas bolt.
I'll gas up and have a shoot in the morning. Need to zero the scope, better sight picture than the German ZF.
3 MP44 mags came too to top up the pouches. I've only ever had 4.
Thanks Airsoft Panda.

Zeta Labs Full length mosin rifle (not sniper!) thanks to Dracosin.
I've already taken the gas bolt out and re-installed the spring one! Next step will be to get the right AEG spring for it to fire at 350fps. 
As Poacher says it's a damn fine RIF, next to my deac mosin, it's hard to tell which is the airsoft gun! All the insides except the bb feed mechanism appear to be steel as well.
The gas version is a log.
I only got 3 full power shots per gassing and combined with the nightmare of a magazine means I dont fancy this in a skirmish at all. Am i doing something wrong?
It does shoot straight, the versatile scope mount helping to get the bbs inside the square.

I found the same thing when I tried the gas bolt in mine. I feel your pain!
It may be fixable, mine was leaking a bit when I looked at it last, but there's always going to be the problem of the reservoir not being that big.
Where am I going to get a spring bolt from?

Maybe the chaps in HK?
Anyway, I had a look at the spare gas bolt I have and I suspect it wouldn't be impossible to convert that to spring. Not something I could do, but someone with some metal working expertise perhaps. The important fiddly bits are there, The main thing that needs doing is to make a piston head, get the cylinder head to fit more snugly and fill in the hole for the gas filler.
