Can I put my name down to have a play with it at PSG on the 29th please

After buying a leg harness, I found that the 10 round magazines actually fit in the concealled AR mag pouches in the side leg pocket of my 5.11's very nicely, allowing 2 to be carried and one on the gun.

Cracking write up.

Seriously thinking of buying one (hope the Mrs doesn't read this!)

They ARE on my wish list for the zombie apocalypse, but what I meant was when I've finally done my probation and got my FAC!

Now that i've got the mag well filed to the point the 10rd mags will drop free on a closed bolt i thought f*** it and decided to cut the channel in the back of the mag well to allow the mags to drop free with the bolt open. Unfortunately i ran into a problem;




The channel that holds the spring which operates the bolt hold open device is located right next to the back of the mag well, so if i cut the grove for the magazine tab it would open the channel holding the spring, gggrrr!



Any ideas how to get around this? The only thing i can think of is artificially reducing the depth of the spring channel (by gluing a small metal sheet to the back of the channel?), and cutting the spring down

[Demonic69]

Do that or use something like sugru to shorten it. Nice work btw

I don't read my own signature!

Blackstuff, I have to say many thanks for an awesome review.

I have also just got hold of a Bora 99 and currently waiting on a few bits to mod it further.
Your review has helped steer me and my thoughts especially with the belt and pouches as I intend to get involved with PSG this year.

I am interested in doing the buttstock modification but some are saying that this can't be done properly or is as straight forward than with the 1919, can any one confirm this?
