Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By krdt: They work quite well and are easy enough to make yourself (also significantly cheaper DIY if you already have most of the tools): 8-32x1/8" hex head set screws #50 .070" drill bit 9/64" drill bit 8-32 tap Drill the center of a set screw with the #50 bit. Drill and tap the FSB gas channel with the 9/64" bit and 8-32 tap. Insert the drilled set screw and tighten flush. Viola, gas port insert. Oh, and you'll probably need to drill the hole between the sling tabs on the bottom of the FSB to make room for the tap using an 11/64" or 3/16" bit. |

I guess 1-2 was a bit of an exaggeration. As you can see, it's not deadnuts 12 though. I havnt torqued it yet, I was just playing with the shims to get a feel for it.

Build is coming along. Need to ziptie the SR07 cable.
Probably doing the aimpoint t1 next. Do I need to switch the moe+ grip out for a miad or something else? I have a tan a2 somewhere. Am I allowed to use tan ladder rail covers too?

Keep the T1 man.
I know I’ve got hate for Eotech based on personal experience, but T1’s are legit too. I actually just posted in the optics forum to ask if Eotechs are still trash or if the new ones are good to go. |

^speaking of too clean....has anyone come up with a decent way to clean the Surefire muzzle devices, or prevent(in advance)all the carbon buildup on the mounts?
I’m tired of my RC getting stuck on at the range I barely shoot it, or my cqbr anymore. Such a PITA. Without the can the brake is annoying, with the can I have to deal with it afterwards as it’s always getting stuck. I should mention I’m usually doing full auto mag dumps with it...so I’m talking about lots of carbon build up, and SERIOUSLY getting stuck

ETA: I mostly use the anti-seize when I already have some carbon build-up but don't really feel like scraping it. Adding it to a mostly clean MD won't really stop carbon from sticking, but it will usually let you get away with a bit more time between scrapings. |
