I like the UBR , a bit back heavy but it’s a cool stock regardless !

“easily removed”

a genuine and new Vortex crossfire red dot is around £160 with a complete no quibble lifetime warranty , or pick one up secondhand for £100 ish and still have the lifetime warranty .

No problems here .

Battery will need to go in the stock tube with whatever Magpul stock you decide on , unless you get creative and start modifying things . a standard MOE grip will not fit , due to the motor arrangement and fixing points , you’d be better off with an AEG specific PTS grip .

just picked one up myself , very happy with it , the lack of trades is a bit of a downer ( I knew it wouldn’t have them ) but overall for the price it’s very good , I also have the DE Noveske , and Ghetto blaster and all three seem to offer an excellent value introduction into the MWS platform .

Nice job 👍🏼😎. Just Krylon over the top ?

Not 100% movie accurate , but close enough for me 😛 good read here - https://www.recoilweb.com/palmetto-state-armory-harrington-richardson-723-review-182215.html

Probably about £40 -£50. You can get new ones for around £80 .

With the clone wars stronger than ever I thought it might be an idea to have a thread based on how to spot what’s real and what’s not , to be clear this is not a clone bashing thread , but simply a way to hopefully help you get what is advertised , be it parts , optics , lasers/torches or maybe even RIF’s themselves . just because it says Aimpoint/Eotech/Magpul/Surefire doesn’t mean it is , even the packaging is being cloned to a high standard so don’t get get duped . I’ll start with a simple Magpul CTR stock in FDE , there will be better clones than others and I’ve picked a “Tak Tak” variant which retails at around £15-£20 in the UK VS a Gebuine CTR which retails around £75-£80 , the clone Says Magpul on it so in passing looks legit , the biggest tell is usually going to be the colour but as we know everyone’s photos and lighting looks a bit different and if you have nothing genuine to compare to when it arrives you are just taking the sellers word . heres a few comparisons , and highlighted differences between the two which should be easy to spot , Genuine is CTR is either Top or to the Left . main points to note - Genuine will have black tabs where the stock pad locates NOT TAN Genuine will have a molding mark on the underside , oval shaped . Genuine stock pad will have an “F” in the lower right hand side “pocket” Text spacing , the Genuine will be bolder and spaced correctly Length , generally the Clones will be a touch longer . Extra Text , the genuine will have extra text in the lower frame , plus batch / manufacturing numbers just above the locking lever . Hope this helps , as time permits I will add more comparisons .
