AO: We are back from the dead... again! After an 18 day outage, we are finally alive and well. Who knew how complicated updating software/databases from 2008 would be. I still have alot of tweaks to make, but my main goal was getting everything patched and updated to 2026.
Vbulletin 6 has changed alot since 2008 so we will have a ton of new features to dig into.
With splash kits offered in various numbers of actual splashed parts, I think the only fair way of calling something a full kit would be a kit that includes all of the above parts plus a tank, expansion chamber and trigger frame. Of course, there are splash foregrips that would replace the ASA and expansion chamber. And then there are Micromags that are entirely splashed - clearly that's more of a full kit than any of these. A "complete" kit, as I would define it, would be all the parts from a kit as they were sold by whatever company. Therefore a "complete" kit could be as few or as many parts as a company bundled together.
On the other hand, I'm inclined to not care and just use whatever splash parts I feel like on whatever 'mag.

I would tend to agree, but thats how pbgear described that kit at the time. If you look at that kit, it has an eclipse rail/sight rail/tourney lock, but Smart Parts was the only distributer of the AA barrels. SP originally distributed the eclipse kits until they developed their own. The tanks/T stocks/X chambers and trigger frames were all SP products and other then the trigger frames, the tanks/stock/xchamber was only available in a kit form of an "ultimate" Mag package.

I wouldn't classify a Micromag in this group as most of its splash parts aren't/weren't offered in a kit form and aren't compatible with most Mags other then themselves.

I agree, but then all the parts would have to match and finding all of them would be tough as hell due to how scarce some of these parts actually are.
