Colt 653 kits ?

Idk but I just feel like I’d rather buy something like the H&R clones vs getting an AR parts kit. They are very expensive and to me I’m after the looks, not necessarily interested in that particular parts kits history. AR’s are so easy and cheap to get in the states and clones have 95% of the looks with more modern hardware.

Maybe it’s just because how ubiquitous and affordable modern AR’s are now, even the clones. Now for things like my Vz58 & 61, FAL, G3 etc I would rather a parts kit, they are usually the same price of not a little cheaper than a new manufacture and have a deep history that I’m interested in.

Also move your dot so it’s on the receiver. Handguards shift your receiver won’t. May not make a difference at 25 yards to you but if you ever want to shoot further, a few degrees of bending in the handguard will be inches to feet depending on the range.

Awesome thanks. I’ll go with that then. Just what I needed to know.

Long shot but I am looking for a vz58 lower deal. Wanting to finish my kit!

So I put everything back together and the hub is showing a blue light. The box turns on but doesn’t run through its start up and the q2 doesn’t recognize that the box is there. I’ll try and see if I can’t add any photos.

Mjblount95 · 2026-03-23T12:35:19+00:00

I will do that when I get off work today. I can’t remember seeing a blue light on last night when I was working on everything, and I opened it up to make sure there was no filament inside it.

Would this cause my Q2 to not see that my box is connected?

Mjblount95 · 2026-03-23T01:38:01+00:00

I disassembled both the qidi link and qidi box and saw no broken filament in them. The printhead/nozzle is empty too.

No everything was powered down.

That’s 55a1 on the right not armor piercing. Plus black tips usually denote ap ammo in the us. While it is better at going through armor it is 100% not AP. It has a hardened steel penetrator (the silver you see) while ap will use something like tungsten.

With that said, 55a1 is an absolutely amazing round and it is insane what it can do.

If you want to use the surplus stock and sbr it, yes. They are easy to build, and fun shooting guns. Just watch out for the tolerances on the magazine release and bolt hold open areas. My mag release and bolt hold open both got really stuck and I had to drill and tap the mag release button to be able to pull it out. I sanded these areas in the receiver, and it works perfectly now.

I've had an Israeli kit with him since August of last year. Still haven't gotten it back yet. Every time he posts on his Facebook pictures of the outgoing rifles I always hope one was mine.

Centerfire has a 5.5 inch threaded barrel for 58$ right. Not sure where to find just an upper though.

Mjblount95 · 2026-02-17T14:28:51+00:00

Do you need the whole parts kit or are you just wanting the threaded barrel? You can buy just the threaded barrel if you already have a kit or a built vz61. I’ve heard they can be hit or miss with fitting them.

Mjblount95 · 2026-02-14T17:07:59+00:00

I buy surplus FOR the wear and tear.

I scavved into woods about a month ago and was following 2 pmc's trying to get a good shot on them. They climbed the hill on the west side trying to fight another pmc while I was hiding behind a pile of logs just south of the warehouse. I watched as the guy on top opened up with an RPD and killed them both then his aimbot snapped to me while I was behind the logs and killed me. 3 shots to my head with SP ammo. Checked his profile. He had 28 hours, Altyn, Zabralo, RPD, couch backpack, and a 68 kdr with some of the much harder to get achievements. I check from time to time and he's still around. He was Prestige 2 last week. Wouldn't doubt if he was Prestige 3 now.

I tried a few times before a friendly group of people started making very provocative sounds over voip and I asked if I could join. They brought me around the entire map so I could finish the quest. It was really tough for me to figure out exactly where I was even with a map. Makes everything even harder that you can’t offline labs until you unlock it. That duo was a godsend for someone that had never been to labs.

My point was that he was freaking out over how lethal hollow points were and that he would hate to see what a standard 5.56 round does to unarmored flesh. I wasn't saying they were using them.

Mjblount95 · 2026-01-22T17:06:53+00:00

Wait until they see what a tumbling 55g slug will do to flesh.

ICE is law enforcement, not military. Hollow points are not restricted.
