I tried to make one with hand tools like that. The grip was ever so slightly canted off center and it was all I could think about it until I bought a ring from someone that had them professionally made.

At times, I regret rattle canning mine. Looking at pics from the era, the vast majority of guns were not painted.

Not a 10.3 but they were used by delta in the early days of the GWOT, as evidenced by this mustachioed guy.

I haven’t looked in a few months but the price on real PEQ-2 units was pretty reasonable. If you can swing it, get a real one even if you don’t have NV. It’s still a cool piece and I don’t think you’d regret it. Treat yourself. You’re worth it!

My first AR was a ban-era Bushmaster XM15-E2S with a fixed tele stock, A2 upper, semi BCG and pinned mini-y comp. I put a Tasco red dot on the carry handle and thought I was the absolute shit.

All that to say; you’re doing considerably better than I was with my first rifle.

Surefire P111C. Jk, it’s a Modlite.

Subpar288

This is the coolest rifle Ive seen in a long time.

Hello, my brethren. I need the part in red deleted for a MK18ish FSP build. I think it skirts around your sacrilegious desecration clause since it’s a mid-length.

Before anyone overpays, KAC still makes these.

Yeah, the CF rail. I’d love to replicate this gun, but the 8” SM rail is as close as I can get.

Subpar288

Yeah. This was just to hold me over until they sell those. I wish Lancer would make 8” rails, but they don’t seem interested in making MCX rails after Sig changed the receivers in a fairly short amount of time.

I think bro just had material removed where ai circled. I don’t think much needed to be removed. I don’t remember hearing any other differences between Gen 1 and 2.

Exactly. I think the accessory threads are 10-32, but I can’t say with certainty.

This is the area that was changed on the Gen 2 to allow the stock to lay flat.

Subpar288

Yes. I have an Altrd and a Space Magic rail. I just took those pics now. Any other angle you want? I did cut 2” off the front, but still have the piece.

Gen 2 Virtus.

Purchased from Altrd I think December of ‘21.

Delivered June of ‘22.

The Gen 2 was a little different in that it allowed the Kate Moss stock to lay flat.
