All these variants is enough to do ones head in sometimes lol. Look forward to the pics fella

The K version is a lot smaller. the MOE SL is the CTR replacement, the SL-K has no anti wobble built in where the SL does. The K is more along the line of the original MOE with no anti wobble. Edit: the K also has no QD sling mount, like the original MOE. I have an SL en route so I will do a comparison with my original MOE and the CTR.

I used a semi-opaque liquitex ink rather than a wash (stronger pigment), took 2-3 passes to get it looking entirely filled. Assuming the consistency of the ink is right it shoud just run in to the detail off the brush, leave it to dry and clean up the surrounding edges with a q-tip and white spirit (the exact chemical you use here will vary on what 'paint' you use). Some use nail polish rather than paint, at which point use an acetone free nail polish remover. Truthfully if I didn't already have all the stuff to do I probably wouldn't have bothered, but it was a decent bordeom cure for all of 10 minutes haha. I tend to cheat with most of miniature painting and use a combination of an airbrush and enamel washes to make things look like they look me far longer to paint than they actually do, so it was nice to something which required a slightly steady hand for a change. That’s probably the last miniature I painted (about a year ago I imagine). I have an obsession with glowing details and tinted metallics.

Don't use any cheapie QD's.... I wouldn't risk my MWS with them... Fire Support sell the PTS ones... they are pucker... (same as Magpul ones as a matter of fact but 1 inch buckle as opposed to Magpul 1.25") https://www.fire-support.co.uk/product/pts-1-qd-sling-swivel Oh the buffer tube will not snap! Unless you sit on it

What’s the best way to get in touch with him regarding incoming bits? I’ll shoot him a message on the off chance he has any black adv frames left because that’s absolutely what I’m after. I do indeed, with the caveat there is nowhere in this house that the lighting works for even half decent photos. Figured I’d keep the mag adapter on to see how many folks I can trigger, because that’s half the fun at this point. Hope the short versions of the the EPM1's surface over here at some point because that's what I'm planning to feed it with.

Talking of Magpul CTRs I believe this is the successor to it. The SLK. And no it’s not Merc inspired 😂 To be honest I’m not really feeling it! It doesn’t have the same wow feel as the CTR design does in my opinion. Of course I’ve not seen one in hand yet so that may change. Has anyone on here grabbed one yet?

I could be mis-remembering but generally speaking you just get the tube screwed in to the point it’s flush (or as close to flush as you can get it) with the lower receiver, with the sling plate being correctly orientated. If you fit it and have issues with the bolt lock (or are using a HSB) just back it off one rotation and jobs a good ‘un. Trial and error is fine, the only thing you can really do much damage to (assuming you’re using the right tool to loosen off the castle nut, that ideally being an armourers wrench of some description) is the small spring which keeps the part behind the trigger in check. Just be sure to remove your buffer/buffer spring before you start taking anything off.

Yeah good idea, Now sell me that stock! 😂 haha

glad to be of help =P

Crikey that was totally bonkers.... Insane.. damn this thread! Now that itch needs to be scratched..... bollocks

I run a mil spec CTR on mine....the friction lock engages nicely too. Rear sling mount > well its whatever you fancy really. Mine has the Marui CQBR/MK18 sling plate. Angry gun also does the same.. You can also get QD sling plates... There really is a lot of choice.

You actually do have a point..... With a magpul grip you no longer have that finger rest and even I with my manly hands find it a tad uncomfortable... but a pair of tactical mitts sorts it out... Alternatively a bit of Sugru will do it...

for me it's either relatively short aka hipfire, or very long (aka i'm out of ammo and i'm just plinking at that point) but more important is how rarely i use a pistol at all, certainly with any serious intention at least.

ask and you shall recieve @AlphaBear i got an armourer works mag of my own, and took a video of me mag dumping it into a target... filmed using an ICU camera mounted on the top rail of the AAP, then i had to use an online video compression program to get it below the 89mb file limit for the website, hence the watermark i can confirm that a single gas fill is insufficient to empty the whole mag... may need three fills to do a whole mag... luckily i can carry cans of gas in my pouches on site, so refills arent an issue for me in the field/back at respawn icu0018_e0D0XNgj.avi

Saw a pic of an mp5k with an mp5 sliding stock a long while ago and really liked the look. This is still a wip but it all fits and works. A lot of grinding and sanding.
