A few weeks ago I swapped a spare CQBR outer barrel I had for a M16 length barrel and now I have three different uppers for my Systema PTWs, CQBR, M4 & M16 length. 🙂

I don’t know how much I’ll use the M16 upper as it’s pretty darn heavy but I’m happy I have it as it really does complete the collection. 😀 The M16 RAS is repro, it’s a pretty decent copy but I’m starting to have an itch to replace it with a real KAC M5 RAS. We’ll see I guess, maybe later when I have more cap in my allowance.

After hearing from Henry & Mario about the limitations of their NV units at the previous terminator game, I decided to try and find myself a “cheap” IR illuminator. You need an illuminator when indoors or when there is no light to amplify and using a regular flashlight defeats the purpose of night vision. As luck would have it, someone on Airsoft Canada was selling a real Surefire M951XM07 weapon light with IR cap for only $110 so I snapped it up right away.

Unfortunately it seems like the seller was in some financial difficulties and couldn’t ship the light out for almost two weeks but whatever I got my light and in time for Muskoka next weekend. 🙂

There’s a very faint red glow visible if you look at the cap head on (head on only, from the side you can’t see it and it is not visible from more than 10′) and at home anyway it does a great job at illuminating an area. This is an older light but it still has a decent sized “spot” light capability though it’s not as sharp as my other real Surefire/Streamlight or even my repro Surefire M951 flashlights. Still for the money I can’t really complain and it’s going to get a good workout next week for sure! With this new flashlight and the AN/PVS-14, I’ll be able to see them but they won’t be able to see me… The GHOSTS will own the night! 😀
