MMG looks sorta good???

[Jax]

If I end up making a piston upper I will use the U-15. I hated...HATED my AR-15 pistol because of the tube..it got in the way, I hit my wrist, head, elbow, knee...grrrr

[bohoki]

I chose the U-15 option. . . I am discovering that functionally, it gives up absolutely nothing to a pistol grip. When going prone, it may actually be superior.

But, a lot of folks think it's ugly. I've never been one to care as long as it works. I see many more MMG's out there though than U-15's. I think they're much more popular.

dang how did olympic arms make the bufferless folding stock upper cause that would be cool with the u-15
i mean this one

i have 2 builds with MMG's and love them. they allow me to use my 30 rounders and the look has actually grown on me. both of them are 18" barreled rifles for 2 very different purposes. the 9mm build has a prince50 maglock...

I am just not ready to plop down $200 on a piece of wood coated with bedliner

Very nice. What kind of upper is that stainless?

thanks! the stainless is a dpms sdm-r 1-8 twist barrel with a badger tactical rifle-length fore end.

Im going to make a magnetic pistol grip. Its magnetic enough to have a secure feel on the rifle but if need be it can be removed quickly with enough force. This could be used for quickly exhanging grips on a fixed-mag build, instead of going through all the trouble of unscrewing the grip. Of course you couldn't shoot steel casings with it, hehe

Good idea? no?

1) FELONY.

2) There is no way u can make it magnetic enough to hold the whole rifle's weight.

[BlackReef]

1) FELONY.

Explain. On a Fixed mag setup, what is wrong with a magnetic pistol grip?

Why would you bother with your project on a fixed mag setup?

Exactly.

I didn't know aluminuim was magnetic.

[apbrian112]

I didn't know aluminuim was magnetic.

it isn't but if you epoxy a magnet onto the bottom of the receiver (where the grip would go) then you could epoxy another magnet onto the top of the grip there's always more than one way to skin a cat...

Too bad they just didn't sell only the grip from the U-15. That or cut down a MMG. Then again it would not be a known standard which might cause problems.

magnet...

Is there a legal issue with it being not "permanently affixed", or more specifically, not permanently attached with hardware?

[apbrian112]

not if you have a fixed mag. once that 10 round mag is fixed you can have all the evil features. why you would want to have a removable pistol grip isn't too clear to me. removing the pistol grip would actually make the rifle one step closer to having a featureless build.
