The 6-pos stock looks a bit odd, but sweet rifle! Need to get the A3 etched in sometime on your receiver too.

Looking forward to finishing my C8SFW. Will post pics once the build is finally done.

You'd hafta ask Huang about the brand of the barrel... I bought it from him originally... He's got em in his sales thread...

Very nice stuff!

Where are people getting the Bodies for these? I see 'em all the time, but I have no idea where they're coming from. I know Guarder makes a good one, but they're rare as all hell, no?

I also have C8 project on my hands but I have a problem. I can't find heavy barrel conversion anywhere so I desided to make it myself. I have the tools and needed skills to turn them on a lathe, but I need some dimensions. Can anybody tell me the lenght on the visible part of the barrel and diameters of different parts? I would be very happy if someone can help me.

p.s sorry about my english skills...

I'll bump this up with a few C8 questions. The Dragonred L199A1 barrel is two piece, so whats the threading between the two barrel sections? Clockwise or counterclockwise? Good source of the OD rubber buttpad for the four position stock? Anyone ever seen an OD m16a2 style pistol grip for a PTW?

Thanks!

Issued buttpad isn't OD, just black. The threading on the barrel is CCW, and you're probably better off just spraypainting the grip krylon OD, I'm pretty sure that's what the CF armourers do anyways lol.

The issued pad is OD, although after use they loose they're color and can end up looking black. Trust me, I just got a box of new ones for some of the weapons at my unit. As for the grips, they either come black, or on the C8A2's they're green, just like the C7A2. If anyone's painting it, it's probably the user.

Oh wow lol, I've never seen a buttpad in its original green then. :P

My mistake about the grips, I thought I read somewhere that the C7A2 furniture was just black parts done over with krylon, but maybe that was just when they were trialled the upgrade?

Possibly, or whoever said that they were painted was off their trolly ;)

But the new furniture is green and nothing but. I have seen some stocks though that were starting to look brown, but rest assured, they aren't painted.

Drool time

Technically an L119A1 but still a Diemaco :D Still have to acquire a stoaway grip

Very nice! I love that carry handle, haha.

hondatech January 29th, 2010 09:28

Thanks for the heads up guys. So where can one get the OD buttpad? I haven't had any luck finding a retailer that'll ship one to Canada...

So it's CCW threading on both threaded parts of that barrel? Gotta know what die to order ;)

And no joy yet on an OD m16a2 pistol grip for a PTW. Might have to paint that one...
