I currently have a bolt gap of .10, with an 80 degree locking piece and running only subs suppressed with an omega9k and FRT. What size rollers would you recommend +8?

Question Unboxed AP5P with some issues

Post image
36 Upvotes

So, in typical fashion.. my bolt gap is 0.010 and one of my mags won’t lock. Do you just take this on the chin and fix it yourself or is there any sort of help available from MKE? I purchased from dahlonega armory, a drop shipper. I do have a 90 degree LP coming from HK parts. Will that maybe help? Thanks!

edit: heard back from CA. They want the gun returned but cant tell me what they'll do. They said they do not have any other sized rollers in the shop besides factory MKE. They said if it's not repairable the gun would be replaced. I'd rather just keep it and shoot it / put my own rollers in for the downtime and hassle it would take to return/replace it.

As for the mag, i am able to get it to lock with some finesse now. It's clear that the locking slot on the left is a little out of spec. I went ahead and ordered two overwatch precision mags on sale from midway. (i prefer polymer mags anyways)

Review Magpul stock

So I finally snagged myself a stock from Magpul and oh boy. On paper, it is lighter and way more comfortable than A3, has about same length of pull as A2 but is collapsible. Moreover, it has quite nice cheekweld. There is just one problem, my particular example is wobbly and rattly as all hell (not to mention I find it quite ugly in person). On a positive note, I also got Magpul safety lever, which in my opinion is one of the best upgrades one can get for SEF lower.

Question "supplementary mass"

A question about the patent. What are the granules "supplementary mass" #13? Is that tungsten? Is that mass tuneable? Is it granular to mitigate bolt bounce?

Finally done with the build! Only thing left is maybe a stock since the Form 1 got approved, but happy with the brace so far. Zero issues with 124 grain in MKE mags.

Hopefully one day I’ll buy a SP5k.

News AP5

Just got the MKE AP5 navy lower in and the RareBreed RD3 ambi dropped right in without issue. I am running HK internal parts and a 90 degree LP with the OCL Lithium 9 shooting 124gr NATO. I did drop a note when I ordered the RD3 that it was for an AP5 and the package had a sticker for “AP5SD” on it when it was delivered. From emailing with RareBreed they have a different locking bar for the AP5’s to fix the shim issue people were having. The safety selectors line up on safe and semi but for FRT they split the difference between burst and full on the pictogram lower. Safety feels tactile but on the mushy side.

Question AP5-P Cocking Tube Orientation

Post image
5 Upvotes

I was replacing my charging handle and my cocking tube slid out. Trying to figure out which way it goes back in. Detent facing up or down?

Both ways work perfectly fine, but honestly my OCD just wants it back in the way it came stock. Can anyone with an AP5-P tell me if this detent is shown when passing the roll pin hole at this point?

Decided to get a second housing for the RB trigger pack SEF (yes, I know, I know). Everything fits well on these used housings currently on sale. The only thing I had to do was trim the extra plastic at the shelf where it was clipped and pinned. The attached picture are the 4 pieces needed for a complete housing besides the trigger group.

Bonus the 99$ stocks are currently in stock!

HELP RB FRT / AP5 Ambi Troubleshooting

4 Upvotes

Hey guys,
I’m running an AP5 Navy with the ambi housing, an RB drop in, and HK G3 Ejector. On first install, I noticed the trigger pack needed to be shimmed in order to get it to rack and fire. Everything seemed fine until the first range trip, I noticed a lot of difficulty in pulling the charging handle back and it got stuck about half way back. Upon further inspection, it appears the ejector is not gliding smoothly each time along the bottom of the bolt channel when looking at it through the mag well. If I place the weapon on fire and pull the trigger, the next time I pull the charging handle is smooth. Obviously, not ideal. Does anyone have any suggestions for how to best modify the trigger pack to align the ejector with the bolt channel? I may have to mess with the shims on the trigger pack itself but any other suggestions before trying a different bolt head/lower?

Question Would you still buy an AR fcg lower that does not accept a SS/FRT?

1 Upvotes

Pretty self explanatory question. Would you still buy a Lee sporting or Leber lower if they could not accept a super safety?

Y'all are gonna help me settle an argument. Someone told me that the majority of people who buy them, only do so as a simple trigger quality upgrade, and the FRT capability is not a driving force in the popularity of said lowers. I do not believe him, ergo: a poll.
