akiraspeedstar Posted March 6, 2013 Report Share Posted March 6, 2013 I kind of liked it better full black, though at least I now know how the BCM tan looks against Magpul FDE. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The Reptile House Posted March 6, 2013 Report Share Posted March 6, 2013 Still need to add the T1 and index the screws with paint pen. Red this time, I think 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

aznriptide859 Posted March 6, 2013 Report Share Posted March 6, 2013 Didn't know Seekins made separate trigger guards. How much do those go for? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
The Reptile House Posted March 6, 2013 Report Share Posted March 6, 2013 $20 in the US...but about £20GBP in the UK. http://dsgarms.com/ProductInfo/SKPSP-BTG.aspx I feel lucky to get one as the are selling out. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

PureSilver Posted March 7, 2013 Report Share Posted March 7, 2013 That's my kind of painted gun - painted while disassembled, for neatness, and carefully. Looks much better than a haphazard rattlecan job IMO, even if that is more 'period correct'. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
hwagan Posted March 7, 2013 Report Share Posted March 7, 2013 I think that's the Dytac multicam-dipped Costa gun isn't it? Either way, I agree entirely, I much prefer a neat and tidy paintjob to a quick spray job 'n all. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
uscmCorps Posted March 7, 2013 Report Share Posted March 7, 2013 I think that's the Dytac multicam-dipped Costa gun isn't it? It is indeed. The dipping is decent. The KAC panels are RS. It's a nice pointable gun and I've been really impressed with the performance and accuracy. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
hwagan Posted March 7, 2013 Report Share Posted March 7, 2013 It definitely looks nice; Just out of curiosity, does it feature a bolt lock function? The fake bolt looks very similar to the G&P ones, and after seeing a bunch of Dytac gear on G&P's own website I've always wondered if they were linked somehow. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The DYTac guns are more like the G&P guns than than most other manufacturer guns. There's no bolt lock function but the charging handle does pull back the false bolt plate and there's enough friction there that it'll stay in place till you're done with it. I do like the hop up setup on the DYTac guns a little more though. They come with H-nubs by default and have very decent accuracy. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
blam360 Posted March 7, 2013 Report Share Posted March 7, 2013 (edited) A few updates on the BCM4: Noveske - what outer barrel is that? i really like how the flash hider isn't flush with the barrel! is that a 10.5" barrel with a 9" rail?

I do like the hop up setup on the DYTac guns a little more though. They come with H-nubs by default and have very decent accuracy. It wouldn't surprise me if G&P had at least something to do with the creation of the Dytacs, maybe providing the basic parts or the internals or something. Good to hear they come with H nubs though, it's a shame G&P won't get with the times and do the same thing. For such an easy and simple internal change that'd cost manufacturers essentially nothing, an H-nub does an awful lot for accuracy. On another note, I figured you might be the person to ask - Any ideas if the KWA LM4's barrel nut matches the profile of an R/S barrel nut when it comes to the teeth? I'm ordering a Samson 9" Evo rail tomorrow, and I'm wondering if I'll need a new barrel nut for it.. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I know the owner of DYTac personally. At one point DYTac had approached G&P for parts etc, but the G&P wholesale price point was so high that DYTac had to make there own parts mostly from Chinese factories to their own specs. I do know that G&P have helped DYTac with some polymer products including DYTac's new Midcaps which are similar to Troy's mags (but I like DYTac's style a little better personally). Since making their own guns, the components are mostly their own, though the designs are mostly derived from replicating what others have done. The only part I'm not clear on are the Gearboxes.

I'm ordering a Samson 9" Evo rail tomorrow, and I'm wondering if I'll need a new barrel nut for it.. KWA LM4 has an airsoft spec'ed barrel nut thread. So if you plan to use a RS rail on it, if you can't reuse the LM4 barrel nut as a proprietary barrel nut is necessary ... you can either try and force the new barrel nut onto the thread or recut the thread. Forcing the RS spec'ed barrel nut on is definitely doable, however, you run the risk of not getting the barrel nut on perfectly straight and end up with a 1 to 2° tilt on the rail (which I have seen). That's why I generally always recommend recutting the threads. If you were in the US, I'd do it for you since I do it so often. I think in the UK, CKinnerley has the necessary tools. You can try asking him. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I'm ordering a Samson 9" Evo rail tomorrow, and I'm wondering if I'll need a new barrel nut for it.. Just a side note, but most of us in PTW world who have owned Samson Evos have had the bottom rear edge of the rail milled to allow for clearance when opening the gun. I'd post a pic, but I sold my 9" Evo last year. Edit: ...just found this. You can just about see where the rail has been trimmed, aft of the pinch bolts. Just depends on the pattern of your front takedown pin hole whether this is required. It's an awesome rail, BTW. Still one of my favourites.

You can try asking him. Ahh, that makes sense. I figured they'd had at least some association in the past. As for the barrel nut, I was wondering more if you'd ever fitted an R/S rail to an LM4 which utilises the stock design barrel nut - The Samson rail clamps onto a standard AR nut, but I'm not certain if the teeth and size of the barrel nut will match up to the real one to allow the rail to clamp on. Worst case scenario, I'll get myself an R/S barrel nut and fit that to the KWA Receiver, but it'd be nice if the rail would drop straight onto the stock one. Just a side note, but most of us in PTW world who have owned Samson Evos have had the bottom rear edge of the rail milled to allow for clearance when opening the gun. I'd post a pic, but I sold my 9" Evo last year. Edit: ...just found this. You can just about see where the rail has been trimmed, aft of the pinch bolts. Just depends on the pattern of your front takedown pin hole whether this is required. It's an awesome rail, BTW. Still one of my favourites. I've seen nothing but positive reviews on the rail, one of the reasons I went for it - I also really like the look of it. A shame you hadn't decided to sell it 2 weeks ago, I'd have snapped it straight up! I've also seen people discussing the lack of ability to shotgun the receivers with the Samson rail, but I'm not sure I will - Whenever I clean my LM4 I just break down both halves of the receiver entirely with both pins, although I can see it might be handy if I need to split the gun in the field. If it becomes annoying I may well grind it down, but I think for now I'll probably leave it as is. Cheers for the advice guys! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
uscmCorps Posted March 7, 2013 Report Share Posted March 7, 2013 If the Samson rail doesn't come with a barrel nut and requires you to use your own, the OEM LM4 barrel nut should be fine. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
