MedicSN6 Posted January 23, 2010 Share Posted January 23, 2010 Well I got a new rifle today. It is the custom one from CMMG that I ordered, oh I don't know, a year ago. As far as I can tell they do not offer the WASP barrels in a piston upper for retail sale. So at the moment, this is a one of a kind rifle. SPECS: CMMG MOD4 SA lower receiver CMMG CNC Milled A3 Upper Receiver with engraved rail markings CMMG K7 Piston Four Rail Free Float tube CMMG Gas Piston System CMMG Stainless Steel Piston Bolt Carrier and bolt CMMG Piston system regulator with top and bottom rails CMMG W.A.S.P. 16" 1/9 barrel TAPCO Telescoping stock Standard A2 'birdcage' flash hider Standard grip (Never mind the horrible photography.) FUTURE CUSTOMIZATION: Magpul MBUS sights Magpul CTR stock Mapgul BAD Lever Magpul MIAD grip Smith Vortex Flash Hider Accuwedge Ambi-Selector Low-profile rail covers Flashlight and offset mount (I already have a an Insight M6X light/laser combo I can use for the time being) And finally, a new Eotech I haven't made up my mind if I want to keep it all black or do the furniture in Desert Tan. I like the tan idea to break up the look a bit. But I am also a traditionalist and like the "black rifle" look. We'll see what parts are available faster and go from their. In tan would be the stock, grip, and rail covers. Tan magazines also are an option. I have already purchased a Magpul ASAP plate and the Magpul MS2 Combat Sling. I just need to install them. I have the sling in tan and it looks great. The W.A.S.P. coating is the same type of lining that Glock uses to treat their barrels instead of chrome lining. It is said to be just as, if not more, durable than chrome linings, but half as costly.

Durka-Durka~SPARTA~ Posted January 23, 2010 Share Posted January 23, 2010 Nice one! I say hold off on painting it until the apocolypse, because you never know what enviornment you'll be in at that time! Nice sling, too. To me, that's one of the most important things. I once had an accident where I was swinging my M16 off my shoulder, like I had done a hundred times, only to have it catch and slingshot the front sight point into my forehead, so that's probably why lol. Question, with the rails like that, is it hard to grip? Does it require a ghetto grip, or can you hold it fine as-is? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ragnarok92~SPARTA~ Posted January 23, 2010 Share Posted January 23, 2010 (edited) My god, even im jealous now... and i thought the Remington 700-P i wanted was nice.

Hunter~SPARTA~ Posted January 23, 2010 Share Posted January 23, 2010 Question, with the rails like that, is it hard to grip? Does it require a ghetto grip, or can you hold it fine as-is? Without firing gloves, I've found the rails to be slightly annoying to grip. With firing gloves, however, I have no issue. I personally prefer to grip the magazine well any how. But I'm only 5'7", so I suppose for taller guys that may not be comfortable. Just my two cents. =) - JHunter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haloelite Posted January 23, 2010 Share Posted January 23, 2010 i gotta say a foregrip makes it alot easier when fire an m4 then without it and durka that is a fail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hunter~SPARTA~ Posted January 23, 2010 Share Posted January 23, 2010 i gotta say a foregrip makes it alot easier when fire an m4 then without it and durka that is a fail. Can't say I like foregrip, either. Just feels kinda awkward. Although our foregrips did have the extendable bipod legs, which proved useful on a few different occasions. - JHunter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MedicSN6 Posted January 23, 2010 Author Share Posted January 23, 2010 (edited) Rail covers are a necessity now days with these railed forearms. I prefer the low-profile ladder style rails versus the mount on full covers. As far as fore grips go, I usually run a stubby style but use it as a consistency marker so I can place my hand on the forearm in the same place each time. The I use my thumb to guide along side the rail and barrel in the direction of fire. Whats more is that on my other rifle, I have an offset mounted flashlight and the thumb/hand position works to activate it as needed without losing grip on the front of the weapon system. I will run a similar system on this new one. The MS2 sling, while designed to be a single point sling, can convert to a 2 point sling if you have a front 'sling thing' to mount it on. It is also quickly adjustable in length so you can loosen it and sling it to your back or tighten it and transition to your side arm if needed. As far as bi-pods go, I seriously doubt if this one ever sees one. If I ever build an SPR upper with an 18" 1/7 twist barrel, I will certainly mount one. But this rifle is for kicking the door in and conducting business, not sitting back at 800 yards and waiting for that perfect shot. Two in the chest, one in the head. And just for those that may have thought about it, no, this is not an airsoft gun. Edited January 23, 2010 by Medic~SPARTA~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Athlon64~SPARTA~ Posted January 23, 2010 Share Posted January 23, 2010 (edited) Looks like that bolt carrier is different then a stock AR. The top part that meets up with the gas tube is one piece to the carrier, and shorter. On the stock carrier its bolted on, and longer, so it can be replaced if needed. All that needs to be done on that to make into a factory 16 is= Replace the bolt carrier with a 16 carrier, reuseing bolt internal 16 trigger parts group Mill out the top of lower reciever to wide enough to accept the auto sear drill the auto sear pin hole above the selectior swich, of wicth i know where to get a gigg to locate the hole. assemble and have fun. regular racthing burst fire Edited January 23, 2010 by Athlon64~SPARTA~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MedicSN6 Posted January 23, 2010 Author Share Posted January 23, 2010 Why would I want to go back to Direct impingement? Thats a waste of money and time. Piston is much more reliable. Plus the regulator is adjustable so I can put on a supressor without having to break it down and replace the buffer or having to cycle the weapon each time. Its overall a much better setup to be using. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MedicSN6 Posted January 23, 2010 Author Share Posted January 23, 2010 Nice setup Medic. How is the accruacy with all the new stuff on? is it better? I am sure it will be. I just got is yesterday afternoon so I haven't shot it yet. I will get some iron sights for it on Moday and will take it out, zero it, and shoot it a bit then. Once I get the majority of the setup I want, I will let you guys know. Maybe even do a youtube video or something. We'll see. I am curious to see some of the AR setups that fellow Spartans and community members have. Post your airsoft setups too. Just tell us that it is airsoft. Alot of the furniture and accessories for the airsoft guns are real AR hardware, so they count too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MedicSN6 Posted January 23, 2010 Author Share Posted January 23, 2010 I fully expect you to zero that thing in 9 rounds Medic. Nine rounds, hear me? ROGER WILCO! @Zeno That is a nice collection, but well out of my price range. I think everyone should have a variety of firearms. A 12ga. shotgun A rifle of some type, preferably magazine fed semi-auto A handgun or two (one for the bedside and and a concealable one for carry.) These will serve in general, any purpose you can dream up. It may not be the best weapon on the market, but if you can point it diligently and pull the trigger, you should not fail. Those that choose to have more are welcome two it. Just keep in mind that normally you can only hold and properly use one at a time. On a side note, I ordered some more target papers this morning. Mainly the three discretionary targets they have. http://www.letargets.com/estylez_item.aspx?item=DT-2A I want to get some of their zombie targets eventually. http://www.letargets.com/zombies.aspx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KalXen~SPARTA~ Posted January 23, 2010 Share Posted January 23, 2010 I have been planning to purchase a new rifle before next September for my gangs annual destructathon camping weekend where all toys are brought out. Saw a semi auto .22 that looked a lot like the Ar15 but can't recall what it was. Any thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MedicSN6 Posted January 23, 2010 Author Share Posted January 23, 2010 Ruger makes one. Its called the SR-22. But I will tell you that if you are looking to get a new rifle, you should get a real AR-15 then drop in a .22LR conversion kit. A base rifle with Direct Impin. system and a flat top rail cna go for about $700-900 if you look around. ANd the Conversion kit is about $200. Or you can find the SR-22 for under $600 and just go plinking for cheap. I bought the conversion kit for mine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Athlon64~SPARTA~ Posted January 23, 2010 Share Posted January 23, 2010 (edited) Well ok, you won't ever be able to use a 16 carrier with that design Aftermarket deveation. looks to me like all they did was move the tube backward 1" or so. Might be able to shorten a orginal one to make it work. The outher dissavantage is, if it ever brakes, you have to replace the whole carrier, and you will have to go to them to get one becouse of the difference. You are locked to a semi forever with that upper. you would have to set them side buy side to see if they are different. I worked on quite a few of these. The orginal 15/16 is replacible. part#2 Edited January 23, 2010 by Athlon64~SPARTA~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hunter~SPARTA~ Posted January 23, 2010 Share Posted January 23, 2010 This was the bipod I was referring to. Its still a foregrip, just has the additional functionality of a bipod. - JHunter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MedicSN6 Posted January 23, 2010 Author Share Posted January 23, 2010 (edited) Honestly, The parts to switch it back to a blow-back DI gun are only about $150.00 Bolt, carrier, gas tube, and a gas block. Not that expensive and its all after market with no FFL needed. There is no gas that goes back to the bolt carrier. The bullet goes down the barrel pushed by the gas which ges through the gas port into the gas piston regulator and then pushes the piston to the rear and hits the bolt carrier strike face, which pushes the bold carrier rearward into the buffer tube housing. It isnt a matter of needing to replace the gas key anymore, because there isn't one. Edited January 23, 2010 by Medic~SPARTA~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
