Weirdguy Posted July 12, 2008 Report Share Posted July 12, 2008 To the guys/gals with magpul, which type do you use? 5.56 works fine or is it really for 7.62? Also, are there any online shops who still store the cheekpieces? Thanks. You will want to go with 5.56 for the magpuls, but for pouches 7.62 ones work better then 5.56 As for cheekrests if you search enough you might find a store that has them. Or you can pray that JG might make them. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
maxter Posted July 13, 2008 Report Share Posted July 13, 2008 552 is a 5.56 weapon, so the choice is quite clear. Cheekpieces are pretty rare, just browse all webshops I'm well aware the SIG-series uses 5.56, but like Weirdguy said, when it comes to pouches 7.62 works better due to the mags being slightly bigger than STANAG, which made me wonder about magpuls aswell. Thanks for the replies! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Lone_Bullet Posted July 13, 2008 Report Share Posted July 13, 2008 PGC kit & SF p114c *Snip* Nice one, I'm going for a metal frame/slide myself. Was the PGC kit easy to install? any modifications to do? ty Quote Link to post Share on other sites

PlasticMag Posted July 20, 2008 Report Share Posted July 20, 2008 Does anyone know where to get a left-hand SG55# selector switch (part SG552-20)? I know there's the guy in Japan but I don't have his e-mail, and while I found the SG550-21 part at UNCo (I think), no 552-20. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Ascendance610 Posted July 20, 2008 Report Share Posted July 20, 2008 I have a question about metal slides and frames. Is the ACTION metal side/frame good? or am I better off going with guarder and modifying the blow back chamber? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Romulus Posted July 21, 2008 Report Share Posted July 21, 2008 msx361 - I think that it looks good. The only change that I would make would be to run a black outer barrel. What method did you use to fit the Hogues? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
msx361 Posted July 22, 2008 Report Share Posted July 22, 2008 (edited) I got the black barrel in there now and your right it does look a lot better. I also swapped the faux screw just infront of the slide release to the chrome one to, a small detail but still improves the looks I did it the hard way with a dremel and two hours worth of cutting and filing. Only after i finished did i realize you can just buy the real steal mainspring seat For the next p226 i get im going to try and fit a pgc body and definately another set of hogues, just this time round il buy the real steal mainspring seat and mod that But i love them and highly recommend them to everyone that has a p226 as they feel sooooo good!

Dock trinE Posted July 23, 2008 Report Share Posted July 23, 2008 Anyone have pictures of the silver PGC P226 kit all fitted? I'm interested in how the finish compares to the chrome TM. @msx361 If you get the PGC frame you dont need to buy a real steel mainspring seat. The mainspring seat is built into the frame.

msx361 Posted July 23, 2008 Report Share Posted July 23, 2008 Even better, thanks for the heads up Quote Link to post Share on other sites
the sniper Posted July 23, 2008 Report Share Posted July 23, 2008 Anyone have pictures of the silver PGC P226 kit all fitted? I'm interested in how the finish compares to the chrome TM. I have a PGC p226 in silver but the pics are not the best I will post some tommorow if I get time As to the finish the PGC frame, it is a satin machined finish ,and you get what you pay for. I did have a chrome one when they first came out only to strip some bits for a friends 2 tone. the finish was nice but much to shiny for me. the silver mags drop free with ease Quote Link to post Share on other sites
the sniper Posted July 24, 2008 Report Share Posted July 24, 2008 to late to edit so here are some pics the trigger guard needs a small radius on the bottom but as Im right handed I havent bothered Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dock trinE Posted July 24, 2008 Report Share Posted July 24, 2008 Thanks for the pics but yeah its a bit too matte white for me. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
krame Posted July 29, 2008 Report Share Posted July 29, 2008 Also got the Guarder body on my 226, nothing spectacular. More than likely though this 226 will turn into a Jack Bauer blaster soon with some powdercoating. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I now have a creation kit without any issues at all. Billy Quote Link to post Share on other sites
