    Well mine arrived yesterday, so bit the bullet and put it on...
    As someone else said, pistol grip is a bit thin but it looks good, but not as good as the original Magpul...
    I did have a GC one, the first one was broken before i touched it, the second was also cracked, the third cracked, and finally the fourth one was not cracked and I sold it!... (...it was free with the rifle).
    It had a nice look and feel, but the thumbhole joint to the grip is a bit suspect... probably ok once it is all fitted, but very fragile before hand...

    I don't want to alarm you, but that bayonet lug looks quite functional, so you may be illegally in possession of an MSSA.

    Is that a bayonet lug? Are you some kind of terrorist? Why can't you just tape a knife to your gun and stab someone legally like the rest of us?
    Toby and grunzter like this.

    I'm going to sound really dumb now, but shoudl that not be there!
    I new about the magazine capacity, flash hiders, pistol grips, but this... I had better go read my arms code again.

    If this is the case do i need to replace this gas block?? The rifle was only bought last November...

    Dremel would be a good option.

    What brand is the gun and where'd you buy it?
