Lozart

Also - from the front end to the internal ridge that secures the feed lips is 33.7mm

Sure, what measurements do you want?

Digging through the bits I forgot I had - found a TM G3 hop unit. I'll give it a go with an upgrade barrel in my new MC51 project and let you know what I get!

Most of mine are in cases buried in the spare room right now but I have: 1991 Gibson Explorer - my first "proper" guitar, bought from Peter Cooks in Hanwell when I was 21! 90's BC Rich Bich NJ - workhorse guitar from my gigging days, has SD Jazz and JB pickups fitted and more dings and scratches than anything else. BC Rich Bich special edition - this was designed as a signature release for Mick Thomson of Slipknot just as he jumped ship to Ibanez so it has a blank fretboard but archtop and white binding. Awfully heavy bloody metal. Epiphone G3T - licenced copy of the old Steinberger cricket bat, it has a Steinberger trem and Iron Gear pickups. Plays really nice and just sits in my office for when I start noodling Westfield bowlback electro acoustic - bought it when Westfield were still trying to sell their guitars as "premium", it's pretty nice but just doesn't get played. It doesn't chug.

Sounds like it's reacted with something in the wipe, possibly whatever solvent they use. It's why they both recommend using their own wipes with their lenses.

@Hudson did you ever get a solution?

Bought plenty from them and not had any issues.

Loz/Lozzy is my IRL nickname. The "art" bit came when I started painting stuff for money (which I don't do any more).

Ah, I was thinking of the newer ones with the rotary hop.

I would say that the majority of that improvement has come from the rubber. The hop unit in the Combat machines isn't actually that bad.

I'm almost tempted to find the absolute worst PoS, overpriced MTW for sale and put the two of them in touch.

Isn't that basically a 5.11 Tactec carrier?

I'm guessing he's bolted on the ENTIRE catalogue from this place https://tridos.design/pages/ssx23-nano-carbine plus a few more besides. Even so, taking the piss.

That is straight off the Vector Optics FAQ to be honest.

They're 30mm tube, so I'd say a 30mm killflash (assuming that's the kind of protector you're looking for).

I used to love watching How as a kid!

The one you've made into an SBS? Cos that's exactly what I was going to do with it....PM me.

Thanks, bot.

Damn you, Jez I was waiting for payday to pick up that MC51. Bloody sold out now. You bastard.

Makes sense. I'm assuming it IS your Audrey clock though, right?

Two questions - 1) are the triple viper pouches on a molle placard converter thing? 2) the mismatched grout lines on the top of your bathroom tiles are making my brain itch.

Except that a bout of the shits and spewing your ring from drinking contaminated water exacerbates your dehydration. So it had better be an extreme emergency to drink water you know to be contaminated to "survive".

As long as the charging handle pulls the mock bolt out the way of the hop unit it doesn't really matter what the dust cover does!

Definitely flat like your second pic. Where did you get it from? I take it it came in a proper E&C package and everything?

That's what mine looks like too (E&C M16A2 receiver set). To be fair, mine arrived preassembled so it's not been an issue but the charging handle end is like this:
