uscmCorps Posted January 6, 2010 Report Share Posted January 6, 2010 There is a Larue reciever for the WE M4. I can't tell for sure, but I guess that magpul just rebrands Larue lowers. Just an assumption. The RS LaRue and Magpul lower receivers are similar, but when you actually look at them side by they have notably different profiles (especially in regards to the trigger guard) and surface features. Magpul made their own receivers but only in limited numbers for internal use as their lawyers determined that the insurance headache wasn't worth it. The LaRue receiver is very nice though.

Whan Posted January 6, 2010 Report Share Posted January 6, 2010 AFG: FTW, quite frankly. Awesome! Ever think about getting a magpul ACS too? Link to post Share on other sites
DFM56 Posted January 7, 2010 Report Share Posted January 7, 2010 AFG: FTW, quite frankly. Is that the HurricanE 416 conversion? Looks epic with the magpul furniture. I love the crane stock on it too, it definitely wouldn't look as good with a magpul stock imo. Link to post Share on other sites
aznriptide859 Posted January 7, 2010 Report Share Posted January 7, 2010 It's a 416D MBK (King Arms, I think? But it's the earlier prototype of the Hk416), unless it's Dboys, since it seems the RIS meets up with the MBK just fine. Link to post Share on other sites
Hammerfall Posted January 7, 2010 Report Share Posted January 7, 2010 Its quite obviously a VFC HK416. Link to post Share on other sites
molleh Posted January 7, 2010 Report Share Posted January 7, 2010 AFG: FTW, quite frankly. Whoa, I LOVE that foregrip dealy. I haven't seen that before. What is it exactly and where can it be purchased? Link to post Share on other sites
Erik_MAA Posted January 7, 2010 Report Share Posted January 7, 2010 I got mine from DSG Arms for about $40 shipped. I actually don't like the AFG, at least, not on my carbine. I have a DPMS Carbine, and on the carbine-length handguard (Magpul MOE) the angle breaks my wrist in a very uncomfortable manner. I think that, mounted further forward, it would work better. I put it on my 1022 with a UTG rail and it feels better - range report is pending. Link to post Share on other sites

speculator Posted January 7, 2010 Report Share Posted January 7, 2010 Its quite obviously a VFC HK416. Defintely Really miss my VFC w/ HK trademarks...was really sad to let it go. Link to post Share on other sites
TheFull9 Posted January 7, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 7, 2010 How long until PTS comes out with their AFG do we reckon? Shouldn't be too tricky to just put a slightly different plastic in the same shape mould I would've thought. Link to post Share on other sites
farrasdevell Posted January 7, 2010 Report Share Posted January 7, 2010 i want an afg for my kac pdw, even a stubby vfg is too snaggy for me. Link to post Share on other sites

Shouldn't be too tricky to just put a slightly different plastic in the same shape mould I would've thought. Considering how cheap the RS is, I don't think there is going to be a PTS version. I could be wrong though. Link to post Share on other sites
Whan Posted January 7, 2010 Report Share Posted January 7, 2010 I think there's a good chance there will be a PTS Version, seeing as most international players have trouble sourcing normal magpul stuff. Link to post Share on other sites
hwagan Posted January 7, 2010 Report Share Posted January 7, 2010 Righty, i'm new to this whole magpul thing - The actual magpul things themselves i find a little annoying, but each to their own i guess - Anyhoo, got fed up of the battery changes in my VLTOR, so decided to go with a Lipo set up, and an MOE stock to make it look even prettier and shed a bit of the weight. What are the magpul rail covers like? I need to change the KAC style ones i have, as they slide forward no matter what i do. Anyhoo, picatures: Oh, and just because my KAC M16ish thingy has a magpul MOE grip... Link to post Share on other sites

uscmCorps Posted January 7, 2010 Report Share Posted January 7, 2010 I like the silver barrel. Nice touch. Also very well done color combination there. Very subtle! Link to post Share on other sites

Tek-Spec Posted January 8, 2010 Report Share Posted January 8, 2010 Cheers uscmCorps, I was thinking of spraying the barrel black and polishing the KAC flashider, not sure though. Lambolurker, I like that setup a lot, what brand peq is that ? Link to post Share on other sites

hwagan Posted January 8, 2010 Report Share Posted January 8, 2010 People keep posting far prettier guns right after mine >< Clearly i need to purchase more blasters. @Tek - What's the name of those rail covers? I quite like the look of those; How solid are they on the rails? Link to post Share on other sites
Hammerfall Posted January 8, 2010 Report Share Posted January 8, 2010 I will pay good money if someone can forward me an AFG! Link to post Share on other sites
Tek-Spec Posted January 8, 2010 Report Share Posted January 8, 2010 hwagan: Covers are Magpul XTM's on the sides and Magpul ladders on top/bottom. Solid as a rock with no play/movement at all. The ladders feel nice to, slightly rubbery compared to others i've tried. Link to post Share on other sites
hwagan Posted January 8, 2010 Report Share Posted January 8, 2010 Ahhh awesome, i'm fed up of not a single brand of KAC covers fitting and securing themselves on any rail i've ever seen... Methinks i need to invest in some. While i'm here, does anyone know if i can adjust the height of the locking pin on an MOE stock? Mine doesn't seem to push up quite high enough to lock the stock firmly - It'll stay in place, but tends to wobble up and down... I'm guessing the buffer tube is the problem if i'm honest, but thought i'd ask. Link to post Share on other sites
Panoptes Posted January 8, 2010 Report Share Posted January 8, 2010 I will pay good money if someone can forward me an AFG! Just ask eBay US sellers - most will ship to UK. If you have dramas, I can recommend one. Link to post Share on other sites
