ariamark Posted April 26, 2013 Report Share Posted April 26, 2013 keep on getting small bits now, snagged another Prime receiver set so I'm trying to figure out where to go with that one, hopefully less magpul this time lol. Â Anyways, Magpul/Noveske Limited Edition SPR. Real 11" Noveske/SWS Handguard and all that good stuff. Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Like the others have said, find a nice machine screw that's a close fit in terms of size, and screw it into the gasblock (which should be a nasty grade of aluminium if it's a replica). It'll be cheaper, easier and more professional to buy the individual tap (or ask a machinist, it won't take more than four to five minutes) and do the threading properly; otherwise some oil and several nice high-grade bolts should do the trick. Regarding whether or not your handguards will rotate without the handguard cap being fixed in place - well, it depends on the handguards. What are you fitting? Â Why won't you have a gas tube? dude whats all of that magic on the rail :0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
hwagan Posted April 27, 2013 Report Share Posted April 27, 2013 (edited) YAY. Madbull can thoroughly go and take a schlong.      Also, anyone interested, the KWA barrel nut was fine with the install - Each side of the thermal bushing took a light tap to knock into place, but no issues at all mounting the rail. Edited April 27, 2013 by hwagan 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

hwagan Posted April 27, 2013 Report Share Posted April 27, 2013 Thanks man - Ridiculously easy install as well! I'm thoroughly amazed at how light it actually is, when I received the box I was actually a little concerned they'd forgotten to put the rail in it before opening it.  Again, massive thumbs up for Samson's service 'n all - Noone has an excuse to buy a Madbull rail when you can get an R/S one cheaper! (£121 including USPS Priority from the US, as opposed to £120 + Shipping for a Madbull DD MFR in the UK). 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
The Reptile House Posted April 27, 2013 Report Share Posted April 27, 2013 Yeah - cheaper, stronger and better made with RIS that's on spec 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
hwagan Posted April 27, 2013 Report Share Posted April 27, 2013 And no 'For Airsoft Only', as well as the ability to use a gas block/tube is always nice. Plus, the fact it says Samson on it makes me feel slightly manlier than usual. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MRF Posted April 27, 2013 Report Share Posted April 27, 2013 Speaking of "For Airsoft Only" description and Madbull, it seems that miracle has happened - I don't see any on NSR rails... 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Â That only makes any sense if you consider all rails to be the same. It's not as though Madbull make a Samson rail, is it? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
The Reptile House Posted April 27, 2013 Report Share Posted April 27, 2013 (edited) Let's hope Madbull has at least made their KeyMod incompatible with the RS version then - otherwise standards truly are slipping Edited April 27, 2013 by The Reptile House 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

hwagan Posted April 28, 2013 Report Share Posted April 28, 2013 Speaking of "For Airsoft Only" description and Madbull, it seems that miracle has happened - I don't see any on NSR rails... Â Strangely, Madbull's DD MFR doesn't have the FAO marking, and also allows the use of a gas block and tube without modifying it.. It seems they like to vary their degree of 'How much shall we mess up this rail' depending on the model! Â Â That only makes any sense if you consider all rails to be the same. It's not as though Madbull make a Samson rail, is it? Â Entirely fair enough - Although I bet if you asked Samson nicely if they could ship you any other R/S rail they probably would! Â Compared to the Evo, there are no other rails! Â Â Â After using it at the Sandpit all day today, I'm thoroughly in agreement - It weighs absolutely nothing, and the width and smoothed out rail mounting holes make it very comfy to use - Definitely a good investment! Â Also, took some nicer pictures at a friend's last night; Â Â Â Â Â Â Â 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
The Reptile House Posted April 28, 2013 Report Share Posted April 28, 2013 Glad you enjoyed using the Evo, hwagan. I really can't fault it. Just the right diameter and the faceted profile and cooling holes provide just the right grip - without clinging to your gloves. Â A mate has the Madbull MFR and I really like it. I was going to buy an RS one, but got bored of waiting for Midway to get them back in stock...so accidentally purchased a RIS II instead.

hwagan Posted April 28, 2013 Report Share Posted April 28, 2013 The DD MFR is a really nice looking rail, and it also strangely looks very nice when you wrap it in carbon fibre stuff! Â The Madbull version is actually the only MB rail I've really liked; No problems with the rail spec, the barrel nut went onto a G&P receiver without a problem and there was no FAO mark on it, as well as the gas system fitting in it - If only MB made every rail like that! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Ivan le Fou Posted April 29, 2013 Report Share Posted April 29, 2013 Quick question for those owning a SR25, or one of its derivatives: is it possible to change the KAC handguard for something else? Â For instance replacing it with a noveske/larue/troy/...? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
