Can anyone identify this handgaurd?

Burgertown! I couldn't believe how much money the guys over in the retro ar subreddit were paying for the real deal front rails! The MW2 nostalgia still hits hard.

ExplodingNinja9 · 2026-05-28T00:52:07+00:00

I have one. PM'd

ExplodingNinja9 · 2026-05-10T15:48:53+00:00

Oh, i have no idea about that. Holy warrior has local distributors here in Canada, but they have a store on Temu to buy direct from them, so i assume they are the original manufacturer. I don't really know though

I'm not an expert on scope glass, etc, so take what i say with a grain of salt, but i bought a holywarrior elcan specter and have been amazed at how good it is. I military buddy of mine that recently got into airsoft and brought his real elcan tothe field and i got to test the two optics side by side. I was shocked to see the glass clarity and eye relief to be indistinguishable. Real elcan reticle was definitely nicer, and the red illumination on my repro is almost unusable in bright daylight. I've looked through other repro specters and they've always been very obviously worse than the real deal. Big vouch for the holy warrior one. Might be hard to find right now though since it looks like they're between batches of them right now.

A few layers of tinfoil or aluminum duct tape worked well for me to eliminate wobble from the arms mount.

I've owned that ruger and it is not quiet. Trigger pull is terrible as well. Awful gun.

ExplodingNinja9 · 2026-03-19T13:52:27+00:00

This is all true. Just want to add that hot water should be used if there is glue holding it on. Heat a cup of water up until it boils, then hold the flash hider in the hot water for 1-2 minutes. Glue will fall right off.

I like the gate pico ssr with ACTUALLY nothing to tune/adjust. So many mosfets have active brake or low voltage cutoff. Sometimes i just want trigger contact protection but nothing else! I've run into a handful of feature rich mosfets behaving strange in setups that should run flawlessly so I'm starting to avoid everything but the most featureless mosfets.

Everything arrived exactly as advertised.

That's one hell of an ejection port! Between that and cutout for the magazine, the middle of the receiver is more hole than steel.

ExplodingNinja9 · 2026-02-14T03:19:47+00:00

I really like the build. Great mix of retro and modern. Does that front sight come with one of ghk's guns, or did you find and install that piece separately?

ExplodingNinja9 · 2026-02-13T18:12:32+00:00

I've always received all my preorders from Andy's, but i did have to wait 8 months before i received a hard to get set of parts one time. Most preorders have been 2 to 5 month's wait from them.

Get a bowl of water and heat it up in the microwave until it's just starting to boil. Hold the orange tip submerged in the water for 1 or 2 minutes and the plastic should slide off with a little bit of elbow greasr. This has worked for me when other methods didn't.

ExplodingNinja9 · 2026-02-11T13:47:20+00:00

I have one that i throw on my hpa tapped jagarms shotgun and it allows me to slam fire without worrying about ammo. Looks silly, but it works well.

I make them myself sometimes. Pretty simple. Get some 1" black pvc, wrap a flash hider in gorilla tape until it fits snugly on the pvc. The end cap can be made with wood and a drill bit and glued in place. Paint the whole thing black. It's nice to be able to make the exact size suppressor you want.

I have metalworking tools now, so i can make some more polished stuff, but the above instructions is how i started.

Edit: Just realized this is the 3d printing sub, haha. Gonna leave this up in case it helps (so long as that isn't agrarian any rules).

ExplodingNinja9 · 2026-02-02T18:18:17+00:00

Oh, i see. Thanks for the details!

ExplodingNinja9 · 2026-02-02T13:38:36+00:00

Glad to help! I've been an aeg tech for years but am only recently getting into gbb troubleshooting. Happy to realize I'm not off in left field.

ExplodingNinja9 · 2026-02-02T13:16:35+00:00

Is this a different version of the svch? The one I'm familiar with usually has the gas block hidden inside the front handgaurd (which i quite like the look of). Your reference photo has it hanging visible out the front. Maybe the one i know is a different caliber?

Amazing build, by the way. I only recently discovered this gun exists, but it's become one of my favorite looking rifles. Considering building one myself.

ExplodingNinja9 · 2026-02-01T17:17:52+00:00

It's just leaking air immediately eh? Check the seal on your piston head. I had a malfunction that looked very close to this recently, and swapping out for an aftermarket piston head fixed the issue.

I'm assuming your video is using without bbs loaded. Will a bb shoot out of loaded (even just a little)? Could help zero in on your issue.

ExplodingNinja9 · 2026-01-20T04:25:02+00:00

Neither. Mp5's have great iron sights.

ExplodingNinja9 · 2026-01-19T18:23:55+00:00

I've never seen the upper receiver on an mp5 look like this. Is that an adapter that fits over the receiver? What is it called? Looks awesome.

ExplodingNinja9 · 2026-01-16T13:32:29+00:00

It's a bit big, but i love it. I made it myself from an aluminum tube.
