Arrived this morning only to find the plug is 1mm too short ☹️

Been using acetone and its looking better already , going on a super cheap g&p mk18 mod0 I got that had a UK spec rail.

I did wonder why you would paint a rs kac ras and noticed the clamp and screw was missing but for the price I had to have it. Not fully cleaned up yet but it's not looking to bad , need to find some ali black for the damage ( mind is boggled at how this happened)

Found on another forum , was originally getting it for my daughter but far to nice so added to the collection ?

How much did that set you back for the coating and trades ?

I'm a little confused, ar15 handguards all come off the same , pull the slip ring back , it might be hard but will come away , wiring is fine as the reciver has a cut out. Fh off and then both pins and the Allen nut on the front sight and it will all pull away ( make sure to fully undo the Allen nut or it will mark the barrel. Just pulled a 727 project out the cupboard, notice how it's my handguard twisting and the barrel nut it solid , when the lower is on no flex at all 20240621_213043.mp4

I used a pipe wrench for years , but yes ar wrench are worth it for the cost

Your delta is lose , front sight off with the gas tube and tighten it up making sure the gas tube can go back in , you might need barrel shims but most times they arnt needed.

Edit- how liverpool ish are you ? I'm south wirral ( ellesmere port )

Yea 100% I already have a l119a1 in bits. The front sight has already been changed to f marked fsb I just need a us spec kac rail and a1 grip and it will be original again

I went to an arms fair couple of weeks ago to sell some stuff and I even made sure to take a small amount of cash so I didn't buy but I could not turn these 2 down ! G&p mk18 mod0 and a g&p upper with gas buster charge handle.. Both for a dizzy £85 ..

Got a question for the 1911 builders. Got my self a v10 and wanted to fit wood grips but the stock bushing are too tall , I had a look on all the asia airsoft sites for slim bushings but didn't find any. I found a real set on ali but of course they are larger and don't fit ? So only see 2 options atm grind the stock bushings down or re-thread the frame to except the rs bushings. What have other 1911 builders been doing or do you have a source for slim bushings Thanks john

Before I got distracted was building m723 mog and m727 movie rifles

Going to guess m723 mog sniper ?

I use to run a site shop and the fastest way I found was just to get the buyer to hold different guns , what suits one player another will hate. I have large hands but I love compacts with full size grips ( Xdmc, hi-capa 4.3 , g19 etc ) If you have a main store close or even a site shop pay them a visit and handle all the main models of pistol( don't rack them.. they can get annoyed lol ) find a model you like in the hand and then look for the best brand of it.

I have wanted one of these for probably 15+ years ? Seen a chap over on one of the older fourms build a steel wa version.. This is mine and still not finished .. need to get some slim grip bushings ?

Got the frame and slide from six mm And yes guarder .. very impressed with the ceramic and polished finish.

Take your time , check then check again. If stuff starts to piss you off grab a brew and then go back to it

Well had a surprise in the post ( well chucked in the garden..) I'm not going to complain.

The wife treated me for my birthday with a v10 slide so I ordered the frame. Frame has landed this morning but it looks like the slide she ordered has gone missing ?

Always been a g&p fan boy , but I have found my self going to e&c for stuff and for the price it's worth it so far .

Sold the real one and then seen tiger was having a sale and snagged these cheap

Hi everyone, Did a bulk buy of stuff and this was in the pile.. and I don't have a clue what it could be from.. It's steel and well made. Google has not been very helpful.

Been doing this for over 20 years ? and find I still do it now !
