Greetings gents - making my photo debut here. Finally received my approved Form 1 back on a trust and got to spend last night assembling my Lego set. For anybody curious, ATF cashed 12/03/17 and in my mailbox 5/24/18.
Disclaimer: Don’t all shit on me at once about the dead air brake...I like their cans until I man-up to an RC. For now, I’m the dude playin the dude disguised as another dude. On a side note, I’m happy about how close the KAC vert and A2 match the B5 contract. That said, I’m not 100% sold on it, maybe I went too full retard on the fde. Might swap out for the black B5 and A2. Edit: ATF cash date is 12/03/17  75AB6546-3042-4326-B671-C67608E3E6C6 by Lincoln Osiris, on Flickr

Had the day off work and this arrived. Original Magpul m93 to go on this eod build. Going west coast all the way with this one. Eod used the m93b, this ones an m93a. Not exactly the same, but he'll, it's damn close enough for me. I actually like this profile a lot. The m93b is a little more sleek and streamlined. If anyone has a lead on m93 mounting parts send me an IM or email. (The m93 mounting hardware is much different than the std castle nut and endplates used with the ergo f93. Already checked. I have considered running the ergo tube with the m93 stock if it will work until I find the right hardware.)
Eta- anyone notice how similar the shockwave blade is to the Magpul m93a? |

My upper arrived!
I slapped a bunch of random parts on it so I can go shoot it later. So no need to get panties in a twist over the non clone-ness. That said is there anyway I can remove the stupid DD plastic dust cover and put a real one on without removing the barrel nut? Fingers crossed I don't need to buy the wrench.  Oh god my eyes!!

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By IceAuger:
It was easier (for me) to rotate the clip so that the opening is facing towards you, then use two small screwdrivers to push on each end of the clip at the same time so that it moves towards the receiver and off the ejection port pin. Wouldn't hurt to put some tape underneath the clip in case a screwdriver slips, and another piece of tape in the forward assist area to keep the pin from scratching the receiver (if you care about that) when you pull it backwards to remove the dust cover. As mentioned, it is a tight fit as it slides parallel with the receiver. Were they trying to save a bit of money I guess? |

So I picked up a used KAC RAS on the EE for a Block 1 build and I'm slightly confused. This is my first RAS and everything I've seen the bottom rail section doesn't have a screw to secure it. The one I bought does though. Looking on Knights site it seems they call the bottom rail section with a screw the UK-SAS. Any reason to be concerned or should I be happy I got a more secure mounting system? Included a couple pics for reference.
Another question I have is the Aimpoint Comp M2 the only clone approved optic for a BK 1? I saw page one says ACOG but I'm not sure which one... Where's the best place to pickup an M2? EE? And what's the going price these days? Thanks!  Attached File Attached File Attached File |

The EE for any of the 3, I wouldn't pay more than 300-350 for a comp m2. Payed around 200 for mine but that was a steal. |
