jmacken37 4 Posted September 30, 2008 Report Share Posted September 30, 2008 I'm curious how the Tromix Shorty feels with the MDArms drum attached. Is it hard/awkward to reach the short foregrip around the drum? Jake Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I ended up holding the bottom of the drum while shooting. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Are you kidding???!!!! Dang.... that's a huge bummer (IMHO). Kinda makes me want to reconsider a few things..... Edited September 30, 2008 by Gary Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Wakal 10 Posted September 30, 2008 Report Share Posted September 30, 2008 Easy to reach around the drum on my S17...if you are hip shooting it. I put a green laser on the siderail and played with my Texas Star until I got the angles right (and could then turn off the laser). Unfortunately, a Texas Star only has 5 plates...good thing I have a row of spring loaded mini-IPSC poppers Alex Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bayoupiper 738 Posted September 30, 2008 Report Share Posted September 30, 2008 (edited) Oh it still works and looks totally badass! But it is hard to reach around. But then there's always forward grips. You know, this should probably be moved to the S-12 section since it is more of a drum and shorty shotty discussion....

ckirkc 0 Posted November 28, 2008 Report Share Posted November 28, 2008 its a little awkward but totally doable. and its fucking bad ass. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BobAsh 582 Posted November 28, 2008 Report Share Posted November 28, 2008 its a little awkward but totally doable. and its fucking bad ass. Agreed, there is some "reach-around' required, but doable. But I have the long handguard on mine, so that may help. I'm still working on the VFG design. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Blam 4 Posted December 16, 2008 Report Share Posted December 16, 2008 I assume the Tromix folding stock can not fold closed while the MD Arms drum is attached... or can you? Not that it matters, I fold it only for storage and transport, but I just ordered the MD Arms drum for my Tromix S17 so I'm looking for pro's and con's. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The Tromix stock folds to within about 30º of closing with an MD-20 inserted. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
