I’d like to get a thread going of your best/favorite mods that you’ve done to your blasters. Anything goes, from polishing your trigger group to stocks, scopes, paint jobs, lasers and lights, grips…
You name it what have you done and why do you like it. I know a lot of this will show personal preference, and or how the weapon is put to use, so call that out aswell. What, and how do you use it, and how the mods have helped in those areas.
Also if you can share how you ended up with the mods that you did.
And include pics if you can.
This should be interesting to see, and should give a broad spectrum of products and uses.
How is that in comparison weight wise to the A2 and the CTR? Somewhere in the middle by the looks of it. If thats the case I would guess that some of your choice has to do with weight ballance?
I too like the LMT SOPMOD stock. I’ve used the old Car15 style, the new M4 style, the Magpul CTR, and Vltor EMod stocks. Of them all I prefer the LMT SOPMOD.
my most recent “a-hah!” came from Rustoleum Textured spray paint
i’m not big on stippling- just makes your gear cling to you and tears your shit up… grip tape is of limited usability and does basically the same thing… but then i found this stuff on clearance at wallmart. these are the only pics i have so far, but i’ve done a VFG, a muzzle device, some magazines and these handguards
great camo paint, and the texture adds grip but isn’t abrasive. the grippiness seems to last for a while, too. when/if it stops being grippy, just mist it again.
I would also like to know how that paint works out. But then again it’s not like you couldn’t spray it again. Along the same lines I wonder how the automotive spray on ruberized undercoating would do. A little thicker than paint but would be more durable.
so far so good. the handguards were the first i tried it on, about a month ago. i baked on three heavy coats, so the stuff is on there thick. it’ll last a long time, but i think the thicker the coat, the less grippy it gets. i did one coat on the magazines, and they’re noticably grippier. three range sessions, including transitions in prone on gravel, haven’t phased the stuff yet.
i think i’ve actually seen people use bedliner on handguards and/or magazines before- that sounds really familiar. i’m also pretty sure, now that i think about it, that i’ve used the stuff for something before… maybe as a handle coating for tools or something. i just remember that the stuff smells like ABS cement and makes for a nasty cleanup.
speaking of ABS cement- i bet a handful of sand tossed on a coating of PVC or ABS cement on plastic parts would make a very durable and very grippy surface- that stuff’s solvent based, so it actually bonds with plastic, rather than just seals or coats. no camo benefit, though.
