In fact this is one thread that always catches my interest. It's full of many, many, many, wonderful things. LOL I do like GBBRs alas currently I only have one: GHK AK74UN with hi-speed buffer and a TNT TR hop unit. It's a finnicky little sod.

I'm hovering over the buy button but was curious. I don't like the MTR however I am interested in your thoughts if possible. Thank you. And the whole hop unit is different inside! I dont know why TM went backwards with a job soooooo well done on the MWS, those flexy stamped steel hop arms :facepalm: Immortal 1

Sawyer Posted January 29, 2019 Posted January 29, 2019 It made it to me! I'm just in from work, I think that's enough tinkering for tonight... can't get the bloody thing tight, I'll attempt in the morning! Cipher-032 and Wo1f 2

Sawyer Posted January 29, 2019 Posted January 29, 2019 The rail system, to be honest I think I'm just being a wuss and I'm afraid of breaking something... I need to give the nut a proper yank with the AR wrench. The only other annoying thing I've found so far is that my Z parts mk12 suppressor doesn't fit over the threads on the muzzle brake. I knew it might be the case, just a shame it is!
Sawyer Posted January 29, 2019 Posted January 29, 2019 I'm going to double post here... Very happy with the finished product, although the gas tube wobbles because the supplied roll pin appears to be sized incorrectly... I'll work on that Cipher-032, Wo1f, L3wisD and 1 other 1 3
Wo1f Posted January 29, 2019 Author Posted January 29, 2019 That looks great. I had the same issue with a z parts suppressor on my VFC mk12 flash hider. I bought the VFC suppressor instead Sawyer 1
Cipher-032 Posted January 29, 2019 Posted January 29, 2019 Looks really nice! Different from the norm. I’ve decided to keep mine on stock rails til I work out my build. sopmod esk with a few tweaks. Have some updates tonight
Immortal Posted January 29, 2019 Posted January 29, 2019 I really like the traditional fixed AR stock, far more than the adjustable ones.
Immortal Posted January 29, 2019 Posted January 29, 2019 I've brained my damage reading all 23 pages however I've learnt a LOT! Thank you. ? Curious, this little brass super nub as mentioned appears to be the same as the TNT TR hop nub that comes in the kit for the GHK AK hop. Good news is I have one in the drawer so my accidental first upgrade before I've even purchased the RIF. Next to look for a Tan modify bucking that's in stock. That'll do for now till I pop my cherry!
Cipher-032 Posted January 29, 2019 Posted January 29, 2019 Okay! So couple of goodies arrived today. These are not real steel. The sling plate was a okay fit. Doesn’t mesh up with the buffer tube very well unless I push on it while tightening the castle nut. Time will tell how it fairs in the strength department. now the BAD lever. Jesus Christ I’m happy it was cheap. “Some fetlling to fit”. Had to use a different screw as the one supplied was about to round off. Then Dremmel a good chunk out of it for the bolt stop to even work. Then had to unwind the stock tube 2 turns for it to catch with the Marui mags. The P mags wouldn’t lock back with it on. So a wasted adventure. I’ll try the Laylax one once I have better funds. In short. Don’t bother with the clone Magpul BAD lever. Get Laylax. At least that’s a sling point ticked off my list Apologise for the double post. But could some one crack their receiver in two and just tell me how many whole threads remain between the receiver and buffer tube please. Mine has two. Wanna make sure the tube is in the correct amount. Should of checked before hand...

Basically it makes safe operation a nightmare as it becomes way too easy to accidentally drop the bolt and if the have your finger in the trigger guard it's a good way to get NDs

Wo1f Posted January 29, 2019 Author Posted January 29, 2019 2 threads gap on the buffer tube is right. Regards to the bad lever... I don’t like the idea of them at all. In terms of the MWS, you’re adding weight to the bolt stop assembly. The ZET plate will have to lift that extra weight, which will effect bolt lock performance. Having bled profusely for hours after a Scar H bolt bit me, I don’t want any extra ‘help’ releasing the bolt when I don’t want it to. Cipher-032 1
Cipher-032 Posted January 29, 2019 Posted January 29, 2019 Ill probably shelf the idea of the BAD lever and stick to the good ol' M4 slap/thumb. Thanks for getting back to me @Wo1f on buffer tube depth Wo1f 1
Immortal Posted January 30, 2019 Posted January 30, 2019 Ordered a couple of Tan buckings... jeez they're not cheap! One for the VSR and one for my soon to purchase MWS.
Wo1f Posted January 30, 2019 Author Posted January 30, 2019 They aren’t cheap, are they ? I’m thinking of trying a new hop combination with a custom nub very soon. Will report back how I get on. Immortal 1
Immortal Posted January 30, 2019 Posted January 30, 2019 No they're not. I added 3 to the basket and took one out in disgust.... Like most things (generally) you get what you pay for. I've not heard a bad thing about them so I think it's money well spent. I look forward to hearing what you come up with. EDIT: I found them in stock at Skirmshop NL if anyone's interested....
