Fuck I really hope it’s real I just bought it off tacswap a few days ago, it hasn’t gotten here in the mail yet which is why I’m reusing the pics from the seller
I just joined today because there’s not much of a market for this stuff on tacswap and I’ve been fine reading thru the arfcom forums without having an account before but I figured it would be good to post this up on here When I get it in I’ll take better pics and post em up and hopefully you guys can tell me I didn’t get scammed |

Ok here it is, fresh out the packaging. It seems legit to me but idk what’s your guys verdict.. and daggertt, thanks for automatically assuming the worst about me but as you can see I’m not even the same skin color as the guy who’s Reddit post you linked to, which had the same description word for word as the tacswap post so I can only assume I bought it from him.

Not saying one way or another but weren’t the model number marking more in the center section of the rail similar to the FFRAS rails instead of at the receiver end? If it’s legit and you got a good price, good on ya. But something just looks a bit questionable to me. Have you tried mounting it to a receiver yet? A lot of the air soft/mil sim parts tend to have quite a bit of wobble in the threads…
Edit, maybe it’s the lighting, but the finish looks a little odd too. Specifically the finish on the front sight parts. Possibly cerakoted??? |

Haven’t tried yet I don’t have any receivers without something already on them so I’ll have to go do it at some point which will be a bit of a process but I’ll update when I try
Edit the description from the seller said the pic rails were scalloped (I’m assuming he means he had them scalloped) and the rail was cerakoted. |

How could we know your skin color? Why is that even part of this conversation?! Look, no one knows you, you just appeared here with this as your first post. You said "i just acquired a URX3, but maybe actually I want to sell it on the EE because it's so hard to find" and then proceeded to post pics from 4 months ago from elsewhere on the internet as your own without explaining anything else. If you don't want to use it on a build because it's "so hard to find" then why did you just buy it? And how had you not received it when you posted at 6pm therefore requiring you to post old pics from Reddit, and then explain that to us at 8pm ...and then at 11pm, you somehow got it "fresh out of the packaging" to take better pics? What - did the UPS guy stop by at 10pm? They don't come to my house that late. Red flags - your posts have them. Doesn't mean you're a bad dude, but fuck yeah I'm going to call you out on red flags, especially when it sounds like you're trying to get someone to buy it off you. |

Flat-head or slot-head screws were typically reserved for the URX2. URX3s came with a button cap as below:  (Thank you OP parts) |

It’s been sitting for a really long time and as far as I remember, hasn’t been fired much at all. I’m very ignorant on SR15s, but I did notice the 2 stage trigger is the adjustable all parkerized version like the MK11’s had. Noticed the LMT gen 2 says patent pending. I need to find its rear sight, its somewhere around the shop. Never had an optic mounted to it. Happy to take additional pictures, etc. but some things I’m wondering are: -age? -why the selector marking locations are milled into the receiver prior to engraving (SAFE and FIRE) -value? -anything else you have for me would be wildly appreciated!

Here's an FDE URX4 on a build I just put together and took out today to get function tested and zeroed.
It's really lightweight with a 16" faxon pencil barrel and a 15oz Leupold VXR 4-12x. The PVS24 adds some weight of course.  Attached File |

I've been collecting URXs for the last few years while I was out of the country, and I've been back for a month now putting things together. i don't have everything set up yet, but it's basically a system where, other than my other guns, I have a series of ARs put together similarly with different configurations that correspond with different scenarios, but they are all very similar so it's easy to just swap uppers or whatever depending on what I want to do. Not unlike what you seem to have set up. The URXs are simply the best forend in my opinion - in terms of weight, rigidity, simplicity, and cool factor. |

The 7 year old shot real guns, including this 300blk with an 8.5" URX4, and the younger one participated with his toy gun, which incidentally, also is modeled after a URX. And my wife shooting the 14.5 with a URX 3.1 (also missing a forward assist. lol).  Attached File Attached File Attached File Attached File |

Here's a mock-up of another build I'm working on.
13" urx4 with an 18" criterion core barrel. I'm not sure if i want to keep it 18" or have it chopped down to 16". The riflespeed gas block would make gassing a rifle-gas 16" barrel easy. I don't think i get much additional benefit from the 2" in reality. But with the can on it, i would definitely prefer to lose 2" of the end. What do you guys think?  Attached File Attached File |

So update, I spoke with a KAC dealer who confirmed the authenticity and then promptly took it off my hands so I guess that’s that and the end of my involvement with the urx mafia
