Guest Posted January 8, 2018 Share Posted January 8, 2018 Three. Can’t pick any of the even numbers, the ejection port is on the wrong side so the cases might burn my arm rdb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's the bits I've ordered Couldn't decide between the ladder cover and the rib cover, eventually went with rib - bit more to hold on to and more protection when I'm leaning against walls so as not to damage the rail.

It's actually the look I'm going for if I can find out how on earth I'm going to manage replacing the handguard and figuring out where to store the battery on my CM16 mod 0.

The G&G? Looks like that does a CTR style stock as standard. Handguard is easy - it's a standard delta ring, and looks like the front sight has a pin or grub screw to remove. You'll need to get a gas block/sight combo with a new gas tube if that's on your model, after that, you're pretty much sorted to get any commercial AR15 rail.

The battery storage was the issue for me, that's why I bought the STR clone over the CTR - combines the storage of a crane stock with the ergonomics of an MOE/CTR stock.

You know, in my line of work, speaker wire has always solved many many problems! Take the handguard off, connect some wires in, run it through the delta ring, along the side of the receiver and up to the back. If you can. Cant see why you shouldn't be able to. Reattach the plugs at the back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Supporters Rogerborg Posted January 8, 2018 Supporters Share Posted January 8, 2018 5 is clearly the most Operator. Obviously that front grip has to spring out into a bipod, and it needs a drum mag, laser, strobe, and a 4x scope with a mini-red dot stacked on top.

Actually.....it doesn't. I have an STR clone and the side pods really aren't as big as they look. The main issue is that where the rubber bits plug in at the back you would need to cut quite a hefty slot into the buffer tube to allow the wiring through. It's do-able but just don't expect it to be an out of the box solution. I solved it by using a stick lipo in the buffer tube. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I looked inside my buffer tube and there’s really no room for any kind of battery, apart from maybe something sized like a AAA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looks like the metal housing at the back of the gearbox extends up quite a way inside the buffer tube it’s certainly not empty down to the receiver. There’s only a few inches between the back of the gearbox and the end of the buffer tube. Although I haven’t been able to put the new stock on yet anyway - can’t get the locking pin to travel down far enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once you do get it on it's easier to access the battery through the back of the stock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
