j3T Posted December 24, 2009 Report Share Posted December 24, 2009 (edited) Yeah, thanks. I hope it's a lemon too. I'm always looking forward to getting lemons The play between upper and lower can be fixed with a spacer at the front body pin. The selector, no clue. It seems to be on the inside, so I'm not going to bother to try and fix it, it might get worse :/ Don't worry about it, there's a decent chance yours will be fine. I have a history of getting lemons.

Vercingetorix Posted December 24, 2009 Report Share Posted December 24, 2009 One is King Arms and the other is some GBB of some sort, so no not VFC. Link to post Share on other sites
jdizzle921 Posted December 24, 2009 Report Share Posted December 24, 2009 It takes a few seconds here before I get an imprint, is that normal? Â It just depends on the heat of your soldering iron. If you get yours really hot it'll make the mark pretty easily but you can burn your rail cover. Although, that pertains to FDE rail covers, not black ones. Â Either way, good job j3T Link to post Share on other sites
aznriptide859 Posted December 24, 2009 Report Share Posted December 24, 2009 Between upper and lower receiver. The upper is kind of wonky, it can be moved quite a bit. And the fire selector on the right hangs loose, no matter how thight you turn the screw. Â That happens on my Star MBK as well. Just cut some thin strips of electrical tape and put it on the upper receiver/where it meets the lower. Basically you're "shimming" the two until the wobble's gone. I only had to use 2 layers before the wobbling stopped. Link to post Share on other sites
uscmCorps Posted December 24, 2009 Report Share Posted December 24, 2009 Hispeed1 : Yup, just modded a soldering iron tip. I like it better than using a dremel to make patterns. Using the dremel removes material and possibly weakens the overall structure, whereas using the soldering iron tip simply displaces the material and leaves the piece VERY strong.  VFC SR15. It's kind of wobly but whatever, I intend to actually use this one soon so I suppose it doesn't matter much. Tried some of that stippling too. Not as good as some others here but I was loosing my patience with it. It's easy, but it take so damn long to put a dot on it... Might be my (20 years old) soldering iron though. It takes a few seconds here before I get an imprint, is that normal? That looks awesome! Is that the new VFC Combat Master? Apparently VFC deliberately called it that after Chris Costa. lol  Regarding the stippling, once my soldering iron gets hot enough, it takes about a second at most to get the imprint. Any longer and I might go through the panel. I'm also not trying to get the deepest impressions, just enough to create a texture (probably about the same depth as yours). Yours will probably give you the same degree of grip as mine. To avoid too much uniformity in the pattern I would go back over some of the dots randomly ... I imagine that you didn't because it took so dang long just to make the dots that you initially made. Link to post Share on other sites

fiddlesticks4220 Posted December 25, 2009 Report Share Posted December 25, 2009 That SR15 looks good man, I have heard from 2 people that their RS upper's on their SR15's have a bit of play, IDK if VFC was letting Knight Armament lead by example or what. As far as the selector goes, I wonder how it will compare to my VFC KAC PDW's selector switch. I have been taking a good look into the SR15 by VFC, but I am still unconvinced. (I just payed for a classic Army LWRC M6A2 in FDE). Â Now to decide...... VFC SR15 or KWA SR10 ...... Link to post Share on other sites

08kecarv Posted December 25, 2009 Report Share Posted December 25, 2009 (edited) Damn thats a nice setup. The magpul AFG* reminds me of the Tavor grip. If that were my setup, i'd put a TD stubby and I'd be set for life  *EDIT:* I remembered what its called Edited December 25, 2009 by 08kecarv Link to post Share on other sites
uscmCorps Posted December 25, 2009 Report Share Posted December 25, 2009 What I like about the Magpul AFG is that it seems to be the perfect compromise between gripping the rail itself (which is more weapon controllable but not as comfortable) and having a pistol grip style VFG which is less controllable but the most comfortable (ergonomically speaking). Mine ones should be here any day now. Â fiddlesticks4220: curious to know how you got a FDE M6A2. I've been considering one myself. Link to post Share on other sites
fiddlesticks4220 Posted December 25, 2009 Report Share Posted December 25, 2009 USCM, please view my last topic posted. It is not in my nature to be mysterious, but yeah. I will have pics up as soon as I get the parts I want for it. Â Yeah, I just ordered a Magpul AFG tonight, I hope I like it. I feel the need to buy pmags. Link to post Share on other sites
Vercingetorix Posted December 25, 2009 Report Share Posted December 25, 2009 Got my SR-15. Its awesome, and there is ZERO play between the upper and lower. Sorry j3T, looks like you got a lemon (or maybe its just their combat master series, I got the 16in). Link to post Share on other sites
colwombat Posted December 27, 2009 Report Share Posted December 27, 2009 Darn, great work, you my friend, need to post a guide or at least give me the low down on how you did it.

1st_shooter Posted December 28, 2009 Report Share Posted December 28, 2009 A bit more updated ditched the Cmore and went with some irons, Stippled the Rail covers which for my first time stippling i rather like and also fitted a nice stubby grip. Link to post Share on other sites
Whudafxup Posted January 3, 2010 Report Share Posted January 3, 2010 (edited) Â Will probably be changing out the pistol grip to a TD style replica. Â Maybe a VFC KAC Suppressor down the road, other than that externals are done Edited January 3, 2010 by Whudafxup Link to post Share on other sites
