whys everyone dissing lapco?? the only reason i could see would be the porting... besides that its the best barrel ive ever used, better than J&J, a pipe kit, an empire kit or a WWA barrel.

Nothing is wrong with the porting. It's made like that for a reason..... For gas efficiency. Mags need about 8 inches of unported barrel to be efficient.

The porting is one of the reasons that I chose the Lapco. It's one of the only barrels whose porting is not more than half of the total length. More efficiency.

Nice setup. Don't listen to people regarding the Lapco...they are great barrels. Very underrated by those who have not used them.

What kinda foregrip is that? Looks like a grip off of a bike's handlebar.

[kurama]

I like it. The lapco barrel doesn't look too great with the ULE bodies, but its a great barrel nontheless

[peewee]

Clean & sharp!!!

I made the foregrip. It's pvc and a foam grip from McMaster Carr and industrial supplier. I was looking for light weight since I wasn't going to be using it for a "gas through" grip. It weighs 2.3 oz including the mounting hardware. The Rogue rail has a slot up front that is a perfect fit for a small 1/4" - 20 carriage bolt. This allows me to twist and slide it forward or backward to adjust the fit.

Oh, I cut down the neck on the loader yesterday so it sits right next to the body.

Update us with new pics of the loader on the body. Did you use a hacksaw?

[Mer]

I'll try to update the pictures tonight.

I used a small mitre box hand saw with very fine teeth. I laid out the cutting line with a piece of masking tape all around the circumference as a guide. Cleaned it up with some 120 grit paper on a sanding block. Turned out perfect.

Also, I made a custom stainless trigger pin and shims to eliminate all side to side trigger play. Added 2 trigger stops as well.

Makes a big difference.

[jewie27]

what did you use for shims on the trigger blade?

Are you using ULT? My Y-Grip has a lot of side to side play and was wondering if it would help me shoot better by shimming it.

[Mer]

Shim stock, .004" or .005" I think. I punched washers in the size I needed out of it.

I have the ULE Trigger kit but am not using it right now. I'm going to mess around with that this week/weekend.

AS far as making you shoot better, not sure. It'll definitely give the trigger a more solid feel though. I did polish the end of the trigger rod and the back of the trigger where it engages the trigger rod. Not sure if it did a whole lot but it couldn't hurt.

That is one of the cleanest mags I've seen in a while. Not tacky, but doesn't look like a brick. Nice, I really like it.

But, I'm not a big fan of the drop.

You should get a red halo b on there just to complete the black/red scheme. Then it would be the ultimate hawtness

[yakitori]

if it were mine, I would get:

stick grip and utilize as a gas through (that allows to switch and shoot both hands w/o the hose in the way, which it looks to be, unless your left handed)

Since barrels are prefernce, and I prefer a queiter lighter barrel, Id recommend a stiff or a UL.

Very nice mag though, and black and red is my thing. I dig it.
