Here is my almost complete build using the Dytac F4 receiver & going for a Strike Industries theme. I admit that it has been a pain in the ass, however.
I need a different flat trigger, since this Vulcan one is genuinely too big for the trigger's hole in the lower to be pulled... Haven't tried it in a standard Marui lower - perhaps it will work with that. Maybe Dytac just made the hole smaller, or maybe Vulcan just don't test their products.
The Salient bolt got a nice scratch on the only part where there is text since the fit was stupidly tight in the Dytac upper 🤦♂️ Brilliant start. God knows how it will cycle when fired. Not sure why my camera made the bolt look so dirty and dull in the closer picture 🤔
Strike industries body pins don't fit the Dytac receiver since the body pin holes are slightly smaller than a regular MWS (what a weird design choice?), so they're sitting in a box.
Strike industries dust cover doesn't close properly on the Dytac receiver, but still looks cool I suppose. Should have gotten the MWS specific one instead of a real one.
The paint on the Dytac receiver is absolute wank, so cerakote is a must if you plan to get one and want it to look nice.
Didn't mean to get a red forward assist and mag release, but will soon paint them black.
On the plus side, Strike Industries stuff is of really nice build quality, definitely recommended, though Brownells UK is robbery 🤣
Haven't even gotten to fire the bloody thing yet since I still have no mag, but it looks cool at least!
If anyone has a flat trigger, preferably from a MTR, let me know 🤕 Still not sold on having a gold bolt either, but I do like the angular shape of the Salient one.
Also just realised the right side's anti rotation pin is out of place, oops.
In conclusion, Dytac made a nice receiver but also made some questionable design choices in terms of compatibility. Some aspects are for real steel, others for Marui stuff & some just straight up oddly sized (body pin holes).
