uscmCorps Posted April 24, 2009 Report Share Posted April 24, 2009 Thanks for the info mate, problem being is getting those items in the UK. I'm a bit grrrr with having to spend $80-100 just to get the damn barrel nut on with no garuntee i wont wreck it in the process. Whats the deal with the madbull threaders, same thing? any good? Not sure what i will do at the moment, I like the magpul receiver but i believe thats made by G&P as well?? anyone know what receivers work with these DD clone rails? quite annoying as its been 2 months collecting the parts and i'm over my intended budget and still its just a pile of parts lol Yeah the gas tube hole is way off on mine, its pretty much on an angle which forces the gas tube into a wierd unusable position. Least of my worries though as i can just clean up the holes and it will be fine. And whilst i'm complaining about stuff the finish on the magpul CTR is terrible, WTF is with the blotchiness when its supposed to be a straight OD finish, i've seen others like this as well with strange marks in the same place, looks like its damaged and not supposed to be like that. Its the only magpul peice i'm not impressed with, all the other stuff is nice. The CTR issue isn't exclusive to the PTS versions. I've seen that happen in some RS Magpul products. It's not common, but it's not rare either. It's due to the occasional occurrence of the dyes/pigments not completely saturating the polymer cast part. Being that the dyes aren't the structural part of the polymer mix, the blotchiness, while not considered ideal doesn't affect the functionality of the piece. As for AEG (non-PTW) receivers that are compatible with DD, and other RS Spec barrel nuts, I'm not aware of any that fit that bill. The Madbull re-threader you speak of should correct that problem.

Not sure which part of the shotgun your question is for? The Adapter I used for the stock was this one: http://www.armstechllc.com/all%20products.htm It's inexpensive, and nicely built. Heres an updated shot with the cutdown barrel, and Hogue foregrip. And some more Magpul-ized goodness.. (Not mine.

Yea it doesn't affect function, Still I would have liked it to be a straight OD, I guess i can flash over it with Krylon/other OD paint if need be. Since you know your magpul, riddle me this : on the RS magpul miad the grip pattern is made up of tiny magpul logo's i believe, yet the PTS version unfortunately isn't. I would have thought they would carry over that detail to the PTS, any idea why not? Still, the magpul products are great, no big complaints over all. I really like the look of your rifles, you've got some very cool setups, they look awesome mate. The DD lite is coming on pretty good, i've done away with the barrel nut altogether and have modified the receiver. Had to bore out about 4mm from the inside of the rail to get the dytac barrel through. I've used a bolt through the gas tube hole to the receiver to lock it in place. Also utilising the aimpoint mount to secure the the rail/receiver even more. The barrel has very minor wobble (1mm) but this will be modded with a o-ring (maybe rubber) and it should be good to go. The rail is solid and there is no gap between receiver and rail so its worked pretty well. I would say it will hold up to skirmishing abuse but thats not my intention anyway as it's purely for target practice. quick pic, not a very good one sorry but gives an idea. Its about 65% done, still needs work/parts but i'm enjoying the build Edited April 27, 2009 by Tek-Spec Link to post Share on other sites
