Surefire M720V RAID replica

Zack The Ripper · July 29th, 2014, 13:33

I know it's a glorified, steroid induced M3X in a nutshell, but I came across this piece of sexy recently in some gun porn photos. Was searching to see if anyone makes replicas of these things as $800 for a brand new real steel version is ludicrous.

FMA made them - last July, sold out really fast. Nothing has surfaced since.

I just looked through my sources yesterday.

Big necro here. I'm not sure if it's a re-release or what but these are in stock at shooter cb gear. $80 US.

I just ordered one off eBay for a little less. Hope it works as good as it looks.

I bought that one. Didn't like that it didn't have Surefire trades. Throw-lever mount is nice, but that's really it.
Sold it to Zack, who noticed the pressure switch plug was very loose, then applied some grease to it - then shorted it out, rendering it useless.

He may be able to comment further on reproduction steps.

Good to know, thanks for that.

I'm a little non-plussed about the lack of trades, but for that "look" I haven't found anything better that isn't real steel.

Heck, I wanna know about that glorious muzzle!

Whew, thanks. I gotta look into that.

EBairsoft's site showing this in stock supposedly:

I've always found the shape somewhat strange. Was the angled design intended to provide some sort of a grip or does it serve some other function?

Allows changing of batteries without removing the unit from the host weapon.

Ah gotcha... Thanks!

I have the FMA one and have had the chance to handle the one from Haung.
Haungs is better. Has trades and looks a tad nicer.
not sure if its a design flaw or a defect on mine(FMA) but the pressure pad does not allow for momentary use, its just another button which you have to press on and off

Question then... is the connection for the pressure switch cable threaded or snapped in by friction? If it's the latter, I imagine you could utilize the Night's Evolution pressure switches of which there are monetary versions available.

If it's threaded, I believe you'd need the older Element version pressure switch which are now harder to find.

Just a thought.

Snaps in. Might have to find somebody with a night evolution one. Thing is the m720 has a dual pressure switch, one for momentary one for constant.
