SwissyJim Posted February 10, 2014 Report Share Posted February 10, 2014 well... finally got everything back from being cerakoted So many goodies on this - been saving $$ and parts for awhile. Mega lower, Aero upper, Valley armory 8.5" barrel with 1:7 twist (local shop), Umbrella grip, Rainier Arms rapter handle, ACE Socom stock (wanted something different), Seekins MCSR rail (final look will be the suppressor under the rail) and enhanced mag relase and bolt catch, Troy battle sights, Battle Arms takedown pins and safety, Noveske keymod light mount, KX3 PIG and QD endplate, Fenix TK15 light, Timney 4# trigger, RGuns NiB BCG, SLR DA7 adjustable gas block, and I'm sure a lot I missed. Still need to actually time the barrel nut and install the gas tube, and then tune the gas block. not to mention make a pissload of ammo! LOL. Going to start with a basic buffer, and work up in weight until I get what I want- going for 90% sub loads, so we'll see. Cannot freaking WAIT for 1) Specwar762 suppressor and 2) ammo for this thing. Sure this will be a ongoing thread as I get to play with it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dane Armory Posted February 10, 2014 Report Share Posted February 10, 2014 Really cool toy ! A lot of thought went into it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SwissyJim Posted February 10, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 10, 2014 Thanks gang! Gotta say I like hearing attaboys instead of What a Moron like I normally hear.... LMAO One thing I really like I had the cerakoter do that is hard to see in the pic, is the top picatinney rail on the handguard is black, so the monolithic upper rail is continuous black from end to end. Just didn't seem right to have it FDE and black. Thats gun porn for sure! Gonna be sweet with the suppressor, how long til you get it? Well, I hope sooner rather than later. But... this is the NFA branch of the BATFE so I'm telling myself 2016 so when it arrives sooner I'm that much happier LOL In all honesty, I got a .22 suppressor back in 3 months with the eform filing. But the Specwar was NOT efiled... I'm wrestling with the option of cancelling the paper form and refiling with eform. Dealer says it can be done, but is not without some issues. But if it turns into a 3-4 month wait instead of 15 months... well, that's hard to NOT do. Waiting to see if another can that was efiled also comes back around 3 months... if it does, then I will do it. Really cool toy ! A lot of thought went into it. Thanks... Nice to get confirmation that I made a few good choices on parts and whatnot. Altho the proof will be in the pew pew pew. My biggest issue is ammo... there is none available locally - most shops look at me strangely when I ask for 300 blackout ammo. Only 2 places have said they have had it at one time or another. And I'm just starting out in reloading, so if I run into an issue with FTE, FTF and so on... is it the weapon? or is it my reloaded ammo? So I broke down and bought some commercial ammo online and am paying out the ASS for shipping. (To Alaska, even ground shipping goes by air so all hazmat fees and extra charges still apply... c'mon Cabelas April 10 grand opening!!!!) But my theory is that once I get it tuned using commercial ammo, then I can tune my ammo loads knowing the weapon is not the issue if I run into them. Now that this thread is here, I'll toss in updates as they come. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SwissyJim Posted February 10, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 10, 2014 Ps. Law Tactical Folding Stock Adapter.... Just think about it... Hmm... I thought about a folder, but I have one on my Saiga's (12 and 308) and I never use them. But I see these are not for shooting from, but for ease of transport/concealment. Hmmmm...

SwissyJim Posted February 10, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 10, 2014 Vera - A little nod to one of my fav shows and characters I don't really name my guns, but I do have to say my Tromix Saiga12 is named 'Mr Giggles' since everyone that lets loose a 20rd mag dump giggles hysterically...

SwissyJim Posted February 12, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 12, 2014 finished Vera today... gas block is in, and the BCG slides onto the gas tube almost effortlessly- spent a bunch of time making sure. Even made my own keymod front vertical grip out of an unused MOE grip. just waiting for a headspace gauge set (finally shipped thank God) and to make some more ammo. good look at the great job my cerakoter did on the handguard... note the top rail is still black <thumbsup> The twins... had him do my Glock22 while he was doing FDE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SwissyJim Posted February 14, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 14, 2014 W00t w00t! Found a place that says you CAN ship ammo to AK... AmmoToGo. Somehow they know the ins and outs, and I was told I could ship. Placed an order, and got notice of shipment. Paying out the A$$ for shipping, but I figure it's a one time deal. I'd like to test and dial in Vera with commercially available ammo to remove issues with my reloads. I'll be watching the tracking like a HAWK until it gets here, if it does. If so, I'll be at the range on Tuesday stroking Vera lovingly... If not, well I'll be doing the same but worried about issues between reloading and the weapon.

SwissyJim Posted February 16, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 16, 2014 Aaaaand the ammo is in town. Delivery on Monday. Tuesday is a go since my headspace gauges arrived today!! Now I need to locate A1680 powder for making a poop ton of subs... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
