So far so good, only had to replace the hop rubber recently!

For what its worth, I have the same TM red dot on a TM FNX-45 and have no problems with it holding zero after thousand+ rounds & lots of beating up. That is run on red/green gas to around 260 fps with 0.36s, so if anything a bit more kick than your HPA setup. Sounds like you got unlucky with your red dot, might be worth returning if you still can? Or maybe some loctite on the adjustment screws on the inside?

FYI - i’ve had bad experience with Würth Dry Chain Lube hardening into wax below around 10 degrees, rendering my gun useless. YMMV, but I had better luck with simple silicone spray everywhere

A little covid DIY project for those who don't like rubber magpuls and want something more like these for your MWS stanag mags. You need: 3mm kydex, M3x10mm countersunk screws, saw / knife, heat gun, drill with 3mm - 5mm drills and countersink Cut the kydex into squares (I made mine 58x58mm) either using a saw or simply scoring it multiple times with a knife and snapping it Drill and countersink two holes along the center to match the screws on the base of the magazine. As the screws go into the mag at an angle it helps if you angle the countersink a bit too (as is done on the standard base plate) Unscrew the standard base plate but keep pressure on it, slide the kydex square over it, and secure both with the new longer M3 screws Heat the kydex square slowly with a heat gun, shielding the mag as much as possible (my mags all still seal afterwards... but this is is definitely not great for them) While hot, quickly tighten the screws a little more to help pull the kydex into the tabs on the base plate, then bend over the flaps. I got the tightest bend by pressing all three sides in with some wood scraps for about a minute, before then letting it cool completely with the main sides pressed in a vice... its a bit tricky to get a sharp 90 degree bend into 3mm kydex, but you can always re-heat if you're not happy with the first result Once cooled, unscrew and slide off the kydex again (keep pressure on the base plate and re-secure it with a screw...) to drill the hole for the gas fill valve. I tried drilling this hole at the start, but because the kydex warps when you heat and bend it I found it tricky to get the location right You end up with a nice 3mm ledge on the back and front of the mag which helps to get a grip on it, and the kydex adds some extra drop protection too. Not sure what the extra strain will do to the screws in the long term, but I don't imagine its that bad. Enjoy!

Does anyone know of base plates for STANAG MWS mags to help protect them from dropping and to add a bit of a ledge to help drawing them? The only thing I'm aware of that people have been using are the classic rubber magpuls, but I'm looking for a bit more of a modern take. Something like this would be awesome: https://tangodown.com/mag-cap-protective-usgi-magazine-floor-plate-3-pack/. Any 3D printer wizards out there looking to make a buck?

Hey, I’ve been trying to order a supernub from SixG for a few weeks, but am not getting any responses from the Dave through his website contact form. Does anyone have other contact details for him?
