DSI MCX BUILD
Many years ago, I met “Nick” at the Tier 1
events we both attended and we’ve kept in
touch ever since.
One night we were chatting about the new
ProForce SIG SAUER® MCX and he said that he would
like to have one to match his Dutch Dienst Speciale
Interventies (Special Intervention Service), or DSI
loadout. Nick said “…as a DSI reenactor I wanted to
have a proper replica of the MCX that is used by the
DSI. As soon as I heard that SIG SAUER would make
an airsoft version of the Virtus MCX, I contacted
John. I asked him if he would help me make a 1 on
1 replica, because I knew John is the man who could
achieve what I wanted.”
After I was shown a few pictures I said: “That
would be a good project.” and he said… “Will you
build it for me please?”
“Nick” started airsoft back in 2004 with a team
called “Blackwater CRG”, based around the (then)
popular Private Military Contractors (PMC) style of
loadout. Later he was also a founding member of the
Dutch airsoft team “Nassau03”, which re-enacted
Dutch Special Forces in airsoft MilSims in the UK,
France, Belgium and Sweden. “Nick” said “Personally,
the TIER1 MilSims (lead by a group of retired and
serving Royal Marine Commandos) held in the UK
were the best ones we attended.” However, around
2017/18 the MilSim games were not giving “Nick”
the fun he wanted from airsoft, so he decided to reenact
loadouts of the DSI.
