+1 on the froglube. I use this to lube the internals of my G22 and it goes much longer between cleans. Follow the instructions for heating the component with a hair dryer and rubbing the paste in and allow to dry. It makes future cleaning much easier.

Also another tip for lubing, less is more. When you apply the lube/oil make sure you wipe any excess away because you only want a thin film. If you can still smell the lube/oil on the component then you still have a film left behind. If you overlube you can allow powder fouling to build up faster which will require more frequent cleaning.

what are they like for spares ?

They're milspec and the only potential consumable is the pin and you could have one made up.

Based on the readily available US Issue M261 sub-cal conversion unit - just without the "false chamber" end, as the barrel is already in the correct calibre.

10-rd magazine inserts are available new for about $16

where from mate? and will they ship to the UK?

pics of the carbine as requested...

I've been looking at getting some 20rnd mags, to make it a bit more streamline and the m261 inserts should fit the smaller mag as well i reckon.

Looks nice, thanks for the pics.

Thanks mate. i've just swapped out the stock for a spare magpul one. just need a magpul grip now.
thanks for the frog lube tip. I've just searched brownell's for some and there seems to be a whole range of types/applications available - what do you recommend that i get please?
