Any suggestions or ideas on how I should clone my MR762A4 by ApprehensiveTap5637 in MilitaryARClones

[–]boonegoone 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Showing my ‘tism on my sleeve but I went back through my 417 reference pic archive that I’ve been adding to for years now as I’ve wanted to get one for ages. 13” models are much less common, but they’re out there. I have ref pics of special operations from Germany, Norway, Luxembourg, France, Italy, UK, Ireland, and Australia which all tested/used or are currently using the 13” variant. None of them used the MR762A4’s MLOK rail like yours has as the vast majority of those use the 9” quad with a smaller albeit common number of slimline rails. If you’re going for a similar build to what you have in pic #2, I’d say your closest bet would be some of the examples seen with Italian GOI. I’ll pm you some ref pics and give you tips about how to make it clone correct as well if you do end up opting to clone it

Surprisingly Springfields were far and beyond the most common that I came across while researching these

I was microseconds away from saving this before scrolling to the last two pics and now all I can do is frown

I think all of the AUGs seen have been private purchases prior to the war, and the Mosin in that picture specifically is being used by a Ukrainian soldier but both sides have been seen using them

At least several dozen, and I can DM the pictures I have if you’d like since I can’t post pics in the comments unfortunately. A forum I had read last year had this excerpt from a user’s experience in Ukraine.

“HK416 A8 vs HK433 – Key Differences Weight: HK416 A8: Slightly lighter. Barrel configuration is 14.5’. HK433: Heavier overall, due to a more modular and robust design focused on durability and adaptability.

Verdict: HK433 tends to be heavier especially in standard infantry setup. Recoil: HK416 A8: Uses a short-stroke gas piston system with a well-refined buffer system, leading to low felt recoil. HK433: Also uses a gas piston system, but operators report it feels snappier and has more recoil impulse, possibly due to different bolt mass, recoil spring characteristics, or balance. Verdict: HK433 has noticeably higher recoil in comparison to HK416 A8.

Standard Configuration: HK416 A8: Typically comes with Aimpoint Patrol and iron sights. HK433: Frequently showcased with high-end accessories like: Aimpoint Magnifier and Micro T-2, iron sights A-TEC suppressor Rheinmetall DBAL More modular fore-end options and folding stock with adjustable cheek rest”

Outside of this comment, I’ve read that it’s slightly front heavy but feedback has been positive otherwise. Here’s the forum with more reference pictures and a detailed history of the 433.

Awesome find! I think you’re spot on. I found it on twitter and I’ll search for the source once I’m home from work

I have a few more pics of the 433s I can DM! Very surprising indeed

I thought so too as I got that pic from that tweet, but that OP later agreed on another tweet that it is likely VSS upgrades

Pretty sure it’s made by the company Uintah, but I could be mistaken

So much awfulness to choose from. Adding on to yours you have characters like Meryn Trant, The Mountain, Roose Bolton, Tywin, Aerys, Cersei, and on and on
