Just a few pics from a day of shooting practice with Carp and Ox.

Me (Tim/Carp) with my SCAR and Delta vest - Kennebunk, Maine.

My fellow airsofter Nathan (Ox) with his M4 and molle vest.

Word on the Street- A few websites that were mentioned:
- http://neasg.org/forums/index.php - Northeast Airsoft Group
- http://oppineplains.chairsoft.net/news.php - Operation Pine Plains
- http://www.msato.org/ - home for Battle for Tolland

Assessment Review #1 was on the DBOYS SCAR-L, moded below with holosight, SOCOM silencer, modular rail covers, and UTG foregrip (note - this is a different foregrip than the one that came with the gun).


Beware of the back hinge - a definite weak spot on this SCAR version.


Assessment Review #2 was on the Double Eagle M56 DL multi-shot shotgun, seen here with Blackhawk shell sling and a UTG reflex site. Also, I mentioned you could buy a "foregrip shell holder" - I meant a forearm shell holder - check out this link: http://store.btitactical.com/80fs00bk.html



The retractable stock based on the Benelli M4 shotgun used by U.S. military.


In Loadout, we talked about 4 items. First, the go pack in coyote brown.


Secondly, the military surplus ammo box:

Ammo box shown here with speedloaders and BBs inside - speedloaders in the box so you'll always be ready to get your mags all filled up.

Thirdly, the UTG double pistol case.


And lastly, the UTG drop-leg holster in MARPAT.



And from our Just In section of the podcast, here' a link for the
