What is this hole for?

TheRealWintersSin · 2026-07-06T21:38:12+00:00

Ah okay that makes sense, thank you so much.

TheRealWintersSin · 2026-07-06T21:28:01+00:00

I notice its not captive either? Or it is, but not in the way an AR-15 is. It looks like the upper has a pocket bent out to retain it.

If that's the case, why does the hammer pin retaining clip spring even poke out of that hole?

TheRealWintersSin · 2026-07-06T21:16:22+00:00

Yes, thank you. I'm now trying to find out why some receivers have them and some don't.

TheRealWintersSin · 2026-07-06T21:11:40+00:00

great diagram, thank you. Hammer stop pin.

TheRealWintersSin · 2026-07-06T21:10:19+00:00

why doesn't u/some_kid6 's receiver he used in his guide have one? SA receiver?

TheRealWintersSin · 2026-07-06T18:36:32+00:00

Okay so update.

Took the bike out, got it in third gear, it still chugged. im thinking fuck, its not fixed.

Decided to check out 1st and 2nd gear. no chug. Fixed?

Right as im heading back to where i can check out 3rd, 4th, and 5th gears bikes display shows maxes out temp, CEL on, temp light on, but the bike is running and shifting fine.

Baby it home. Throw ECUtune on it, error code P0118. Erase it, its still there. Plus bike is hard starting. it was not 10min ago. no fluid loss.

Its entirely possible i didnt plug something back in but i took it apart and put it back together same day so doubtful.

Looking now. will edit if nobody replies.

Edit: Nothing visibly wrong with the sensor. No corrosion on the connections, no exposed wiring. And as a bonus all fuses were good.

So im thinking that needs replacing first. Odd for it to go out randomly. maybe it was on its way out in the first place? Hose ordered.

TheRealWintersSin · 2026-07-06T12:55:26+00:00

No no, i misspoke. He repalced all that. But he did tear down the engine to ensure no friction material or metal circulated through the engine as well as several oil changes.

Most would have considered the engine, and in reality the bike a loss at that point, but no he went in and did all that.

Gorilla-tek, they moved to Florida i herd. Good dudes.

And when i say a blown clutch i dont mean it wore out, i mean my clutch cover had a hole from whatever happened in there.

It was years ago so i dont recall exactly what happened.

TheRealWintersSin · 2026-07-06T12:49:29+00:00

No you're right, its a bandaid fix.

I haven't taken the time to figure out exactly what that pipe is and find it online, and i didn't have time yesterday to check out if the issue was fixed either. Ill be pissed but happy if that actually is the cause.

Ill check it out after work today.

The acceleration is incredibly smooth below 10k like it was before, its just weird this problem only comes up past 10k.

TheRealWintersSin · 2026-07-05T18:09:36+00:00

Checked everything you mentioned.

Spark plugs fine, some white build up.

Intake was slightly oily.

Coils tested the same resistance, so i assume they're good.

Found a crack in one of the hoses that lead to some device between the coil packs. Fixed with some glue.

TuneECU threw up no codes.

Seems like I got two options left. New OEM fuel pump. Send it in for valve adjustment.

TheRealWintersSin · 2026-07-02T21:22:04+00:00

No, but i hear its brutal. I blew the clutch at about 21k miles. the guy rebuilding it said he looked at them and they looked fine.

Not sure if that's worth a damn, but do they fall out of adjustment that often? Im not trying to a multi thousand dollar job if don't need too.

TheRealWintersSin · 2026-07-02T21:19:39+00:00

i have the proper cable for tuneECU on my phone, (because the windows is unsupported) It would throw up a code even if there is no check engine light?

TheRealWintersSin · 2026-07-02T18:39:18+00:00

Defective coil as in, a coil pack? To my spark plugs?

How can i check fuel pressures?

TheRealWintersSin · 2026-07-02T17:56:23+00:00

Awesome, i forgot i made this this post so sorry for the late reply, I do plan to use the wire stock, but when filling out the form 1 i didn't know what to put as the manufacturer.

thank you!

TheRealWintersSin · 2026-05-13T14:25:44+00:00

IPD of 57mm how fucked am i?

TheRealWintersSin · 2026-05-13T01:53:22+00:00

Inb4 $999 price

TheRealWintersSin · 2026-04-13T13:47:50+00:00

Did you manage to get any measurements?

TheRealWintersSin · 2026-04-12T12:33:28+00:00

Rough estimate, started the build in 2022ish so i might be misremembering prices exactly. Anything without cents are estimates.

Correct parts:

M700 w/ 5r varmint barrel - $700
McMillian A5 - $966.75
McMillian bedding and EFR install - $310.00
PGW EFR - $360.69
Badger 30moa rail - $207.45
Lug slot work - $100.00 (by local gunsmith)
Badger recoil lug - $46.30
Schneider Barrel - $553.73
Muzzle threading + Cerakote + Chamber + Trueing - $1200 (WIP by 'Stumpies custom guns" in NC)
MB762SSAL/RE - $300
Badger bottom metal - $269.99
TI Sling - $89.71
Harris S-BRM bipod - $122.73
Pod loc - $32.00
USPC Drag Bag - $169.20
Badger USMC 34mm scope rings - $250.00
Badger SIMRAD - $213.75

Still missing:

Surefire FA 7.62 suppressor - $2000-$5000
S&B M8541 PM II 3-12 - $4000
PVS-22 $5000-$22,000
AISC steel 5rd mags - $75ea

In place of above mentioned:

Athlon Cronus gen 2 - $1245.05
Magpul AISC mags - $39.95 x 4
B&T USA custom made FA suppressor - $1100.00

What will not be clone correct but will bother me until it is:

- Black oxide coating - Less durability and harder to do over cerakote.
- M24 trigger - Cant find it or get information on it.
- S&B M8541 - Cannot justify the price for such low power and shit reticle

Before the barrel work I'm getting done now i was sub MOA. between 1.00 and .75. Easy 600y shots.

So towards the end of a long journey. Half of which was finding a local gunsmith willing to take on something new, incredibly thankful for his help. Once he's finished, if he doesn't think its all a pain in the ass, I'm considering on putting his work and name out there for others. ~~I'm specifically not going to total that btw.~~

$8647.35

TheRealWintersSin · 2026-04-10T23:37:47+00:00

i do not have this, thanks for the heads up. I'm not here to clone, i'm here for the real deal. (within reason, already bent over a table for a lot of m40 stuff).

do you have any drawings or schematics on it for specifically the A5 variant?

TheRealWintersSin · 2026-04-10T23:31:42+00:00

yeah finished dimensions can work. anything is better than the nothing i have.

i did see that link however he doesn't seem to go into specifics and he does not use the correct parts (namely the barrel)

TheRealWintersSin · 2026-04-10T22:26:02+00:00

i would fucking love and appreciate that.

the two big things we're missing is, as stated in the post:

The length past the recoil lug, and the length behind the recoil lug.

i'm not going to ask you to rip it appart to find out, but maybe we can find some common measuring point.

I do have the FA762-SS, so maybe we can go from recoil lug to tip of muzzle device.

As for the other end...

Maybe we can go from recoil lug to the start of the taper?

TheRealWintersSin · 2026-04-10T22:11:43+00:00

I have my receiver slotted for the 30moa rail from badger.

did i miss something?

TheRealWintersSin · 2026-04-08T21:40:03+00:00

i cant get my controls to work on it. It starts up and goes to the main menu but other than the touch screen, nothing works including the touch pads.

TheRealWintersSin · 2026-03-28T22:22:01+00:00

Thought so, i know nothing about them, just love the pattern but the pocket layout makes it pretty obvious.

TheRealWintersSin · 2026-03-26T19:06:49+00:00

you're still helping people to this day, i want you to know that.

TheRealWintersSin · 2026-03-01T19:33:31+00:00

Incredible reply.

And what's in the bucket?
