I’ve been happy with my Magpul angled grip on my MK18 but that TangoDown stubby just looks so good to me.
However I seem to recall someone mentioning in this thread that the normal stubby was a pain to get on the DD rail. Any truth to that? I suppose I could just go the QD route. |

Using the TD Grip Chips is key. Removing the rail is one way, or just muscle the grip on. Set the rifle upright on its stock, angle the grip over the bottom rail's protruding edge and push the grip downward toward the receiver. |

Thanks for pointing that out. Angle I took the pic at was the best I could do at the moment and didn't show the other screws. I remembered they were flat heads as well so just circled that one figuring if he takes enough of them out the rail will come loose eventually

Having the QD model can definitely be handy in certain situations -- beyond just the one-time install. For example, if you want to shoot off sandbags or use a turret for zeroing or load dev, being able to quickly remove your VFG for a flat resting surface and then easily reattach saves a big pain in the ass. All my TD Stubbies are QD for that reason. |

Hey, has anyone upgraded their Comtac IIIs for Comtac Vs? Did you feel like it was worth it?
Thinking about getting some Vs, but it'd be nice to hear some opinions from those that have already made the switch. I figure it'll cost me less than $100 if that makes a difference to the "worth it" angle. Is sound fidelity noticeably improved? Not strictly clone-related, but I know a lot of us in here run Comtacs. |

Not strictly clone-related, but I know a lot of us in here run Comtacs. I have a set of Vs. While I never owned IIIs and can't compare them, the Vs are very comfortable and I find nothing lacking from the sound. I have used them at multiple classes and don't even realize I have them on most of the time. The downside is that they do not work with my TYT MD-UV390. I have friends who successfully use their Comtac IIIs with the same radio, Disco32 adapter, and Peltor PTT - so the issue seems to be something with the Vs. |

And as an added bonus, I'd finally have some Comtacs in proper Coyote Brown, lol. I got my IIIs at a great price, but the choices were Foliage Green or Black. I ended up liking the FG more than I thought I would, but I definitely would've preferred CB. |

Thanks for the input fellas; picked up a pair of Comtac Vs that should be here Monday.
Also grabbed some standard 3M gel cups as well as the "Prohear" brand on Amazon to give them a comparison -- they were reviewed really well, so I'm curious to give them a try. Obviously, haven't installed them yet, but they arrived today and look promising as possibly an improvement on the 3M cups. They are still nice n' squishy, but are slightly more firm -- assuming they're just as comfy, they should hold their shape longer. I'll give them a go once the Vs get here and we shall see. |

I've been wanting to track down one of these LMT receiver extensions forever and they finally just become available on their site again. Link What is your O.D. measurement? It's possible it's out-of-spec, but it could just be at the small end of allowable spec. I measured several of my Colt 4 pos, and got 1.1495", 1.149", 1.149" and on the worn smooth RC host, 1.1455" -- those were all unpainted to eliminate that as a variable. An LMT Gen 1 fits almost perfectly on 1.1455" -- i.e. no wiggle, but still adjusts smoothly. The LMT on 1.149" is a bit on the tight side for my preference -- still adjusts, but can take a little effort and/or get stuck with a new extension. Also, I don't think any of them are 100% perfectly round and they may have tiny high points -- be it finish or imperfect machining -- that can make the fit seem tighter on one than another, even if they both measure the same centered from the top with the extension alignment rail at 6 o'clock. Edit: Guess you already sold it so it doesn't really matter, lol. |

I measured specs with a cheap-o digital caliper from Harbor Freight and fed the various numbers to a really helpful dude at B5. To your point, it was on the low side of what was acceptable in terms of mil-spec. So not technically out of spec and for the average gun guy, fine. I just couldn't get the tight fit I was used to with other Colt receiver extension and CTR or B5 Gov SOPMOD stocks I've owned.

Yeah, the extension on one of the Colt Govt Property lowers I picked up recently is actually a good bit tighter fitting with an LMT Gen 1 than I prefer. Funny enough, the same stock fits better on the NT4 host extension that technically measures larger at 1.1495" and on the other Govt Property lower that measures the same at 1.149".
You can see the high point drag mark that's causing it, so you also have the variable of them not being 100% perfectly round to factor into how a particular stock is going to fit -- and even have two extensions that measure the same yet fit the same stock differently. Basically, short of having half a dozen on hand to try, it's gonna be entirely luck of the draw. For the tight one mentioned above, I'd wager it will smooth out with use regardless. |

I honestly forgot that I used those, but you're right, I do remember picking a few up like 10 years ago and put them on some of my lowers. I think at the time I was frustrated with 4-position tubes because the sopmod stock is so long that with kit on I needed a position between 1 and 2. They've just sort of been on my lowers ever since. They do seem to fit most of my stocks pretty well. |
