    Since Ivan has noted the "old gun" trend going strong.. Does anyone have a source for slim M4/xm177 style handguards in Europe? I'm not really bothered if they are original or replica since its getting fielded. I have checked all of my usual stores and no luck.

    Brownells has them for $20, seems like you can buy from Brownells Italia and they ship to Slovenia.

    Sorry for the necroposting but I'm hoping someone can help me with something I'm sure is super obvious.

    There's a stupid lip near the muzzle end so when you try to put the barrel in, the tip of the inner stopped by that, what I ended up doing was using a pin punch of similar diameter to a BB, putting it into the front of the inner while trying to fit it in, and kinda guiding it to avoid the lip that catches the inner. 

    Shameless plug

    Could be. Could also be an aiming system for a CIA paramilitary unit attacking an offshore oil rig under the guise of a UN inspection. Or just channeling the future of yesterday.

    It's an Imatronics LS45 helium-neon laser sight from the 1980s. Still works, surprisingly.

    Very cool and I can imagine it in the hands of @GRIM! at one of his cyberpunk themed games... also It appears you have edited your comment.

    It was missing something. That deficiency has been rectified.

    Is that thing for controlling airburst distance for your dystopian future homemade ammo...?

    I'm getting one anyways come hell or high water

    Me too 100%, do we know if their new AKs are AEG receiver length? Secretly hoping an extensive surgery for an LCT RPK receiver transplant is worth attempting for this.

    TM NGRS G36KA2 turned into a Garand Thumb G36C, part list: 

    - CA G36 Knight's Armament sight rail, chopped down

    - VFC G36 RAS for GBBR

    - VFC G36C FH

    - Manta Defence rail cover

    - Magpul AFG2

    - WE IDZ stock

    - Mystery G36C grip with symbol marking over the S/E/F of the G36K

    - G36 PMAG

    A few 3D printed parts, as this is an AEG, there's a huge gap between the handguard and the body after the VFC rail was installed, so I had to print a piece and fill it with Milliput. A hole is also visible through the secondary bolt position for security the barrel, so this has been filled by a printed hexagonal piece, which is then filled and sanded. 

    A mock G36 - AR magwell was designed based on the one used in the video, the original plan was to make a magwell adapter to work with NGRS M4 mags, but upon starting it I realise there's a lot of alignment issues that will take some time to resolve, so for now this just takes G36 pmags (which visually is pretty close to the PMAGs he used in the video anyway). 

    The pin retainer for the adjustment positions in the WE stock also snapped off during handling, so had to print a reinforced version, file available here if anyone ever snaps theirs. 

    Body finish is still WIP, some of the Milliput mark are still quite visible, I also filled in the toy marking on the receiver, will eventually have this painted properly, probably cerakoted once everything is sanded flat.
