Just had to check but some companies did the reciver with these trades , I know as I have a l119 in bits atm. I think it was big dragon the make ? Another was g&p body set

This is one of my grail guns with the other being one of the xm's G&P m653.

Broken my mod0 up but still have 2 mod1s . I did giggle about the trades

Very first forum I joined and I remember some of the users on here from the time I used it .. has to be over 20 years ago ?

Been after one of these mounts for over a year.

I love the movie gun the biggest pain has been trying to find the aimpoint mount ... just gave up and got a clone of a rs unit.. The 723 has a silly long king arms ops suppressor my biggest issue is its a gov marked lower.. plan was to build both film version and rs.. all on a tight budget ?

Been building a m723 and m727 for a good part of the year after buying the suppressors from this forum.. This is the 727 so far and was aimed at being a gordon sniper.. Good pal pointed out wrong mount for the touch.. doh I owned spez's blood diamond 727 back in the day and just copied how he did it..

Needed the aimpoint mount and the ops accidentally fell in my basket.

Treat for my long term builds, and the bonus is the wife was not home ?

Been one of them days and do feel like it , finished a night shift can't sleep over suspected busted ribs .. this arrives go to fit it .. so then decided fit some parts on another 1911 only for the slide lock block screw to cross thread and strip .. time to step away ?

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 ?
