RacingManiac Posted February 9, 2010 Report Share Posted February 9, 2010 There moved it forward by 2 slots, enough to even stick another XTM on behind it.... The QD sling swivel actually isn't bad where it is, the swivel is just ahead of the web of my weak hand, so not actually interfering with my grip... Link to post Share on other sites
reaper16 Posted February 9, 2010 Report Share Posted February 9, 2010 ^those are magpul notice no dimple.... Anyway i didnt pay attention and just realized haleys carbine has an 11inch rail....but I like the balance of the 9 inch better, so Im glad I made the mistake...now I just need a bling barrel. Noone say OMG you copied....I like a longer rail/foregrip on guns, I'll get a pic up sometime. Link to post Share on other sites
BrooklynBorn Posted February 10, 2010 Report Share Posted February 10, 2010 From what I recall, Ergo/Falcon is the OEM of the rail ladders that Magpul outsourced to but were designed by Magpul themselves. IIRC, Magpul products are designed internally and outsourced to local factories. Ergo/Falcon is one of those outsourced company/factories. * Edit : It should also be mentioned that most RS companies that sell polymer products outsource the manufacturing of those products to dedicated factories. The only stuff that is usually done in house is usually metal machine work, and Magpul Industries doesn't have much in the way of that in their product line. So what products are made BY Magpul? I heard in the Milspec Monkey interview at this years Shot Show that the MS3 was going to be all in house. 100% Magpul hardware. Link to post Share on other sites
uscmCorps Posted February 10, 2010 Report Share Posted February 10, 2010 So what products are made BY Magpul? I heard in the Milspec Monkey interview at this years Shot Show that the MS3 was going to be all in house. 100% Magpul hardware. Yes and no. The original hardware for the MS2 sling was off-the-shelf hardware (be it somewhat obscure). The new hardware for the MS3 sling is designed in house at Magpul Industries and manufactured specifically for them at an outsourced facility (AFAIK). So yes, it's 100% Magpul Designed Hardware, but I don't believe it's manufactured in house. This really isn't that uncommon. Just because something's actual manufacturing is outsourced doesn't make it any less of a company's product. This is how a lot of industry works. Link to post Share on other sites

I think it'd just be interesting to see Magpuls build quality, because we all know their design quality is pretty good. Thanks for clearing it up. Link to post Share on other sites

They give the manufacturers SPECIFIC standards to manufacture the products too. Edited February 10, 2010 by reaper16 Link to post Share on other sites

waxxer Posted February 11, 2010 Report Share Posted February 11, 2010 BigDragon receiver installed btw, what do you guys think what barrel length will I need if I want to use a midlength MOE handguard? Link to post Share on other sites
Arion Posted February 11, 2010 Report Share Posted February 11, 2010 MUR upper with a standard barrel nut looks... weird. Midlenght moe would be 10" or 12" I suppose so you'd need a 14" to 16" barrel? Link to post Share on other sites
waxxer Posted February 11, 2010 Report Share Posted February 11, 2010 actually Ive ordered one with the standard upper, but they sent me the MUR-1 combo, so I thought if its there why not use it. mkay, I'll specify. what barrel length will I need if Id like to make something like this: http://i106.photobucket.com/albums/m264/wa...engthmoefde.jpg or maybe with switchblock: http://i106.photobucket.com/albums/m264/wa...switchblock.jpg Link to post Share on other sites
kingdong Posted February 11, 2010 Report Share Posted February 11, 2010 thanks for the pictures hwagen and reincarnation, looking forward to getting my AFG and i am very curious how comfortable it will be, i dont care though, they still look cool. Link to post Share on other sites
hwagan Posted February 11, 2010 Report Share Posted February 11, 2010 ...how comfortable it will be, i dont care though, they still look cool... I think that pretty much sums up the mentality of 98% of airsofters, including me. Link to post Share on other sites

jgarnreiter Posted February 11, 2010 Report Share Posted February 11, 2010 That flashlight !? Lol man I really need better angles. It's an offset mount. It's not in the way of my sights at all. This angle of the photo just makes it look really flat. Link to post Share on other sites

Aitch Posted February 11, 2010 Report Share Posted February 11, 2010 I now require a FG AFG for my FG build, looks very good on an MOE foregrip, and pish, I'll needs rails too , the list just keeps growing Link to post Share on other sites

This angle of the photo just makes it look really flat. Ok I wouldn't say noth if that was closer to rail, but form that distance how u manage to turn it on, or u just turn it on and let it like that? Still strange setup for a tactical flashlight...
