chas Posted December 9, 2008 Report Share Posted December 9, 2008 32$ seems a bit to steep for me (com'on: its just a bit of casted plastic!) but you mil-simers and gear-whores out there will probabily appreciate this. http://ebaybanned.com/product_info.php?pro...248b740154678b1 Oh, and a Wilcox Style Aimpoint Mount Replica, for just 19$ with shipping. Finish doesnt look as good as the VFC's or G&P's, but those are something like 40$,wo/ shipping, and Wilcoxes should be beat up anyway. http://www.tacticalgeardepot.com/product_i...products_id=577 Link to post Share on other sites
Hillslam Posted December 9, 2008 Report Share Posted December 9, 2008 hmm, still though if its hollow that radio dummy might make a good enclosure for my rather expensive Motorola CP200 - they tend not to like the rain too much. Thx for the link to tacticalgeardepot too. didn't know about them before. Link to post Share on other sites

frogfish Posted December 9, 2008 Report Share Posted December 9, 2008 Looks exactly like the TS radio even has the same freq. as mine.... Link to post Share on other sites
Hispeed1 Posted December 9, 2008 Report Share Posted December 9, 2008 That replica MBITR is plastic, but the price is fair because it comes with the replica blade antenna. You can't buy that set online new anywhere else for that price with shipping. And yes, I believe its a copy of the Toy Soldier MBITR. Link to post Share on other sites
wyrwolff Posted December 9, 2008 Report Share Posted December 9, 2008 (com'on: its just a bit of casted plastic!) Have you ever run silicone molds and cast resin? That *IS* cheap, especially with the antenna thrown in. They're only making pennies per unit, if this was done in a small shop as I suspect and not production line injection molded by the thousands. And even then they're only making anything at all on them because the labor costs are so cheap.

Victory Posted December 9, 2008 Report Share Posted December 9, 2008 They have a DD MK18 rail in FDE, too. Looks very nice. -Vic Link to post Share on other sites
uscmCorps Posted December 10, 2008 Report Share Posted December 10, 2008 They have a DD MK18 rail in FDE, too. Looks very nice. -Vic Looks really satin in finish compared to the real deal which is more or less flat/matte FDE. If the finish is anything like the ACM FDE ACOG or the FDE G&P URX parts... then they'd be awesome for blinding the enemy on a sunny day. Link to post Share on other sites

The Crunchy Bunny Posted December 10, 2008 Report Share Posted December 10, 2008 Gah... I thought this was going to be that new ACM one. the one that looks like it might actually be good. Link to post Share on other sites

Krylon Matte Finish might sort it out, though. -Vic Link to post Share on other sites
