Jolly Roger Posted August 22, 2020 Share Posted August 22, 2020 As always, I received my FFT order in record time. I ordered a few extra parts like springs, shell stop and charging handle to keep my "Nelly" operating smoothly into the approaching Armageddon. ?Having a broken spring or shell-stop,... or loosing the charging handle would be a major downer. But wouldn't be spectacular if I had a on-board storage for these extra pieces and parts? ....well I thought so. So here is my attempt at doing so. Updates coming soon!

Vertigofirearms Posted August 23, 2020 Share Posted August 23, 2020 Why? Most of us have M4s on here. You can’t take apart the trigger without circlip pliers. Maybe you can fit an extra 2 or 3 shells in there lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StrangerDanger Posted August 23, 2020 Share Posted August 23, 2020 What about pulling the rubber grip off of either the pistol grip stock or the fixed pistol grip stock and insert the spare parts inside the cavity inside the grip core? Then slide the rubber back in place. You won't be getting any large items in there, but you could get various springs, pins, bottle of lube maybe. Roll them all up inside a bag so they don't rattle much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yup, most of us here have M4s, but most of us could service the trigger group without circlips donut. 17 minutes ago, StrangerDanger said: What about pulling the rubber grip off of either the pistol grip stock or the fixed pistol grip stock and insert the spare parts inside the cavity inside the grip core?

I have a Pachmeyer decelerator going on this butt stock when all is done. I did a short lop on a moss500 with a decelerator for added length and then for big coats or armor the Pachmeyer pulls off for the needed short lop. Another way of going about a storage spot was to dissect a Magpul grip and work it into the bottom of the stock grip but the A2 plate was hanging around and I hated the Limsaver sooo.? Nice to hear from you SD! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jolly Roger Posted August 28, 2020 Author Share Posted August 28, 2020 Ok plastic sheet finally showed up in the mail.... time to get busy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jolly Roger Posted August 28, 2020 Author Share Posted August 28, 2020 I have shaved and shaped the A2 butt-plate to fit my field stock. It fits nicely but now I have to create a whole new way of attaching it because the bolt patterns are different.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jolly Roger Posted August 28, 2020 Author Share Posted August 28, 2020 I have created a pocket using the plastic I bought. I have also added the new stainless all-thread pieces that will become the new plate anchors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jolly Roger Posted August 28, 2020 Author Share Posted August 28, 2020 (edited) And here it is most the way finished. A Pachmeyer decelerator will go on the end. I can fit an extra charging handle and repair parts in the new "cubby" ? Edited August 28, 2020 by Jolly Roger 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bambihunter Posted September 4, 2020 Share Posted September 4, 2020 That looks way better than I expected. Though this is a hack job of sorts, it does not look like it. Very nice. How much time did it take to do all that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
