Motopilot1 37 Posted January 12, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 12, 2008 most of the micro galils you see have the fake suppressor extending past the end of the barrel but i didnt want to add length to the gun for nothing so i cut it down and threaded the barrel Quote Link to post Share on other sites

SuAside 2 Posted January 12, 2008 Report Share Posted January 12, 2008 (edited) i wonder, are there any heat issues to be expected with the fake suppressor shroud? (fake suppressor shrouds are pretty much unheard of out here) Edited January 12, 2008 by SuA Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Motopilot1 37 Posted January 13, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 13, 2008 i wonder, are there any heat issues to be expected with the fake suppressor shroud? (fake suppressor shrouds are pretty much unheard of out here) i wouldnt think so it has a gap inside the tube about 1/8 inch all the way around the barrel it threads at the end and slides over the gas block slightly but there is no contact with the barrel and the fake suppressor other than at the threads and on the gb Quote Link to post Share on other sites

vjor 2 Posted January 13, 2008 Report Share Posted January 13, 2008 i wonder, are there any heat issues to be expected with the fake suppressor shroud? (fake suppressor shrouds are pretty much unheard of out here) No really the fake can will act as a heat sink on the barrel, helping it on a way, that's if the fake can is all metal, Hey bro one thing just look out for the flex on the barrels as you fire it, some times unscrew the fake can out of the barrel, have seen happen, But looking cool bro, looking cool. If you have a problem latter on with fake can coming out of barrel because flex and turning the fake can off the barrel, you threat part of the end of the can for a counter clock bushing, like that the bushing goes against the barrel and lock the can on position if the flex turns the can it will lock the can on the barrel.

6500rpm 670 Posted January 19, 2008 Report Share Posted January 19, 2008 moto, you did a great job pulling things together on this one, really nice. Are you diggin on the UA mag adapter and was it much of a bitch to set up? I put one on my Galil build and liked it so much that I sold off all my I.M.I. mags and use the AR ags exclusively. Definately two thumbs up! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
22_Shooter 1,560 Posted January 19, 2008 Report Share Posted January 19, 2008 Awesome motopilot!!! I'd love to build something like that. How easy/hard was it? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Motopilot1 37 Posted January 19, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 19, 2008 i love the mag adapter very nice. and the build was not too hard the part that had me the most scared was drilling the hole in the barell for the new gas port but definately not rocket science i would say anybody who likes the look of the micro to go for the build if you can do an ak from a parts kit you can do this build Quote Link to post Share on other sites
