TheTacticalCoyote Wow! There is a couple of very slick V3's on here. Your contribution has been a favorite of mine since the first time I laid eyes on it.
I had several V3's prior to seeing your V3, but thats when I got excited and started my conversion on a V3 Field Sport.
I have a Tac 13 that I purchassed mainly to verify its configuration and because it is baddass.
I have done several configurations and this is the current configuration on the V3 Field Sport.
It's 11 inches on the barrel. I also shortened the magazine tube so I could use a single round extension matching the length of the barrel.
The mag tube was cut, a small section was removed, I machined a custom sleeve to join them back together, and then Tig welded.
The handguard has been shortened to 9 inches, front end counterbored, an aluminum ring seat was installed in that counterbore
I chose to go with a red dot on this one. It has a Kynshot recoil reducer sitting under the Magpul CTR buttstock.
This is an early version with both the piston exhaust cuts and compensated exhaust valves. Unlike the Tac 13 with exhaust plugs.
The barrel clamp is in work. It ties to the rib as well as the barrel and mag tube.
I did this one as a folder as well. I will use another V3 at 10 inches in its final configuration.
