A lot of the modern 1-piece scope mounts do cantilever forward and don't require a lot of 20mm slots, what you have should be enough for something out there.  Cheek weld may be the other issue, as tends to crop up with designs from the 50s(ish) where optics weren't really accommodated for, so I'd say bear that in mind.

 

Found this little thing at Ant Supplies at a bargain price... it should be enough to hold the 4x32 air rifle scope I have (it's very light weight)

The result of a couple of purchases. WE M9 v2 and Compensator  (Yes it would be better with trades and correct grip)

Can you guess the film? 😁

You have to wear the the glasses and acorn style beanie when using it though or it doesn’t count.

Mm, with some ex Mauser weapon designers that were around in germany in 1949.. 😂  Just messing with Spoons obviously, just a choice combo of company + phrase, I think we can safely say HK now is fine.

I know, was tongue in cheek here too!

 

I like how they started off doing pushbikes and sewing machines and stuff and then just went "fuck it, let's make guns again!"

[DanBow]

Didnt Birminham Small Arms do the opposite? Made guns then went off on a tengent and made bicycles?? Lol

I inherited a Royal Enfield pushbike from my Dad YEEEEEEEARS ago. Had rod brakes and everything.

But yes, BSA did indeed start off making guns. Lots of guns. https://www.bsacompany.co.uk/history/

Picked up a Magpul MVG for my TM 416

only to find out , that the “M-lock” on the rif isn’t the correct spacing to accept it without some cutting 🙄🤦‍♂️

The SMR rail isn’t designed for MLOK, the rails not off spec or anything 😅

Thanks bud, I’d just read that page too

i can’t be arsed getting the dremel out to make it fit, I’ll just revert back to using the small pic rail and the RVG that was on it already, I just fancied freeing up the pic rail that I was using

 

 

Anyone in the market for an MVG??

Never fitted 😂😂

There was a time around the end of the freefloated quad rail era (but before KeyMod) where the latest cool tech in handguards was direct thread attachment i.e. screw-on accessories.  The holes in handguards of that era do resemble M-LOK, but the many threaded holes are the key indicator when trying to discern.  We're talking right around a decade ago now though so I'd imagine most folks just aren't aware.

 

Honestly it was a great system that made forends thin and light, but often the accessories were proprietary to a given make of handguard which hampered adoption in the market and it all mostly vanished once KeyMod hit the big time.  Q are actually kinda going back to it now with their Q-Sert alternative system.

Ah yes, the joy of HKey et al. Fun times.

Lambda GHM9 in all it's plastic glory. Metal receiver and metal front end ordered from Asia and will be fitted once they turn up.

I'm the proud owner of a brand new TM M4A1 MWS GBBR and it's gorgeous! Slapped a EO tech and an old-school foregrip on it and it brings back memories of CoD! 

 

Got it on sale for £450 so super happy with it!

Enjoy mate! They are quite the beast. Big smile with each trigger pull 😁

Second hand Cyma (metal and wood version) AKMSU, with a butt load of upgrades including a Warhead.

Owner offered me a dong foregrip with it, but I like the one on it. 

Shooting like a dream, he was only selling it as he needs the money 🙁

I'll probably field it this Sunday for the annual Santasoft game.
