-=OGGY=- Posted October 1, 2009 Report Share Posted October 1, 2009 Good call; the only MagPul I'd ever use would be the PMAGs, and that would only be with a modern carbine. Putting a CTR on your gun would be like putting 24" spinners on a Model T. It may look 'Ok' but it would just be wrong. Link to post Share on other sites
hwagan Posted October 1, 2009 Report Share Posted October 1, 2009 (edited) Definitely agree on that one - I'm not personally a fan of PMAGS though... I've got nothing against Magpul in the real steel world, as anything that'll give you an edge in combat is always a bonus. But this is airsoft, and i don't want to pay silly amounts of money for stuff that's essentially cosmetic... It's more of a fad thing, in the same way modstocks, VLTOR uppers and mini aimpoints seem to be these days. I like my carbine just the way it is, and it's staying that way - Not to mention it actually looks unique because everyone elses is covered in magpul!

uscmCorps Posted October 1, 2009 Report Share Posted October 1, 2009 To be fair though, my Magpul PMAGs are the only midcaps I've owned over the years to consistently work. I didn't just buy them for looks, I bought them because they worked as advertised and reliably at that. Link to post Share on other sites
hwagan Posted October 1, 2009 Report Share Posted October 1, 2009 I'm not at all doubting the quality of Magpul stuff - I've read great things about the various accessories, especially the Pmags... And i'll confess some of the Magpully rifles i've seen do look quite nice, but only when done properly - And i don't have the money to buy a fully pimped magpultastic AEG =[ I will however say all 8 of my CA midcaps are still working flawlessly after 2 years of use, with nothing more than the occasional bit of silicone oil - Wether or not they'll outlast a pmag only time will tell, but i'm pretty pleased with 'em so far.

hwagan Posted October 2, 2009 Report Share Posted October 2, 2009 I feel ridiculous for having to ask this, but have KWA/KSC started to make M4 AEG's, or is it a GBB? I haven't been keeping up lately... my bad. Either way, that set up looks savage. Link to post Share on other sites

Vercingetorix Posted October 2, 2009 Report Share Posted October 2, 2009 Hey Jin, are you getting an IR filter for that surefire? He probably won't,as the replacement malcoff(however the hell its spelled) devices LED high intensity LED won't work with an IR beam cover/filter as LED light doesn't contain nearly enough IR light like incandescent light does.

Jin15 Posted October 2, 2009 Report Share Posted October 2, 2009 (edited) Hey Jin, are you getting an IR filter for that surefire?  The Surefire actually came with an IR filter, but seeing as how I have a dedicated and ridiculously powerful IR illuminator in the PEQ-II it seemed a bit redundant to have an IR filter on the Surefire. So, I'm selling the IR filter from the Surefire M951 and buying a diffused filter for it, which will be much needed for any close range non-combat activities (reading a map, navigating, etc.). That Malkoff M60 module in the light puts out around 235 lumens in a pretty condensed beam, so trying to view anything up close without a diffuser filter is a recipe for blinding yourself  Edit : And, as Verc pointed out, most LED bulbs that are not dedicated IR LEDs will not put out enough light in the infrared spectrum to be at all useful when shined through an IR filter.
