[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Magpul m93b questions

Posted: 2/27/2006 3:21:19 PM EDT

So where is the best (read cheapest) place to buy a M93B? I want a full loop sling mount and a strike plate. Does anyone use a G27 grip with an m93b? i was wondering if there was any intereference with the beavertail style grip. And with regards to the MIAD grip, is it waterproof?

thanks in advance

check the EE/Indutry board

cheapest i have seen a magpul B is ~$215 NIW in the EE by one of the dealers

the G27 (or any other AR grip) should not interfer w/ the magpul

no idea on the MIAD's waterproofness

Since they're being discontinued, Magpul is selling them for $190 shipped. I just ordered a Coyote Brown one last week.

The MIAD itself is not waterproof as it was never ment to be. The individual battery cores ARE water proof to approx one Asmosphere (33 feet)

+1

Denny's prices are some of the lowest and he ships at cost. I paid $1 shipping on my MIAD grip. Other places would have charged around $7+

The 93A2 is being discontinued, not the M93B right?

I got a 93b off the ee for $170, not to long ago, look daily they come up, and somtimes cheap, mine came with strike plate, and allother hardware. I don't see why it wouldn't be water proof.

I just picked up a new M93B from Dynamic Armament, a local company here in Phoenix. It was on sale for a gun show ($185) but the price tag on the package was $195. 623 570-0334

It installed fine with my G27 grip; no interference. Strike plate and sling loop has been added since this pic.

Why is that ?
I was going to get one, but if they are going to stop producing them I may not.

The news has been out for a few weeks now. Magpul will be replacing them with the UBR.

Because they're difficult and expensive to manufacture, not because the M93B is obsolete or defective.

Besides, if you buy a M93B now, I guarantee Magpul will give you a very generous upgrade path to the UBR should you decide you want one.

Thanks for the update. I didn't know.

93B's at the gun show yesterday were going for $195. This price was with the strike plate (isn't that standard on the 93B?) but the sling loop was $15-20 more.

I had my money out but they were all out of basic black. I had no desire to buy one in a colour de jour.

BTW, had a ND at the show yesterday! Nothing like a little live-fire exercise to get the heart a pumpin.
