FAAWrenchBender Posted February 7, 2014 Report Share Posted February 7, 2014 (edited) MWS, CeraKoted in fde.....14.5' dimpled barrel with pinned device. Put a buffer from Slash in it this afternoon and a SSA trigger. --Damn rough crowd, will have to rearrange the index clips a bit, can't flying a Frenchie flag.

shibiwan Posted February 8, 2014 Report Share Posted February 8, 2014 (edited) Very nice purchase... I know where you're going with the red/white/blue stripes but from here it looks like the Russian, French, or Dutch Flag.

FaRKle! Posted February 8, 2014 Report Share Posted February 8, 2014 (edited) -VLTOR buffer tubeThis doesn't make sense to me unless you have REALLY short arms. Why change out a proper AR-10 length tube for a compromised short one??? I also have a stainless 5R 16" barrel with a Surefire B662SSAL/RE Did you have Karl do work on that barrel too? How much does Karl charge for dimpling? I'm planning on sending my 18" SS barrel to Marvin Pitts for dimpling soon. Edited February 8, 2014 by FaRKle!

shibiwan Posted February 8, 2014 Report Share Posted February 8, 2014 (edited) Big fan of the FDE/desert look. How is the cerakoted plastic doing? Wonder how durable it is on plastic. I'm considering the same for I miss the look of the made-over Edited February 8, 2014 by shibiwan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A standard AR10 spec buffer and spring do not play well with the UBR. Other barrel is essentially a factory LMT, it was turned down just enough for the Surefire mount. Bought it this way, no idea who machined it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FAAWrenchBender Posted February 8, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 8, 2014 As far as the wear on the CeraKote, just picked this up today. I am sure it will hold up better than paint. The SOPMOD will be replaced with a UBR........soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bought it this way, no idea who machined it. So you bought the VLTOR tube so you could buy and use Slash's heavy buffer combo prior to getting the UBR instead of sticking with the stock setup till you were ready to make the whole swap? I think we're all guilty of being impatient to use the parts we'll want in our "final" version of our rifles :D. Sh*t, I already bought the VLTOR A5 spring and buffer I'm going to put in my MWS' receiver extension when I put it on an AR15 and swap my MWS to an UBR lol. Edited February 8, 2014 by FaRKle!

FAAWrenchBender Posted February 8, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 8, 2014 Nope,.......the VLTOR buffer tube and Slash's buffer were in an Armalite that I am getting ready to sell. these parts were swapped. Make a bit of sense now? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DNP Posted February 13, 2014 Report Share Posted February 13, 2014 I'm starting to pick up what you're layin down. Nice looking rifle. Congrats on the adoption. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FaRKle! Posted February 16, 2014 Report Share Posted February 16, 2014 Did you pick up your MWS from this shop, or are you selling yours already? This one looks identical to yours, down to the same guy doing the barrel dimpling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
