I had thought I send a response back about getting dimensions. Possibly it is in my draft box and I totally spaced and did not press send. What I wanted was the dip height in reference to the bottom.. though I think I have a idea based on the numerous 3D printed inserts I did. I have never seen a metal insert before.. I saw they cleaned up the top part of the matching of the barrel and trunion.. but nothing to fill the gap. Sorry Taylor about not responding about the fins. i don't think I have cooling fins on mine. As for the fit, I totally see that it can get really stuck in. I was debating how to handle a things dealing with fitting: 1. I was considering having a little extra material on the sides for having a extremely tight fit. Right now it is tight on mine, but it was designed based on my version. maybe add a hole on the side and have inserts? Or just make it easy and have the person sand it down if too tight..I think I like the idea adding little lines of PETG material for crushing or sanding. 2. Bullet feeding area, between the feeding tray and the final resting place of the round.. the space between the plate and the insert is tight.. I had originally didn't give it much space so no way for the pawls to force it in. Hence I removed more material. I leaned toward removing just a tad more than what mine required just incase it is a tighter fit on some one else's MCR/Shrike. 3. Cam strikes: The insert can be hit by the cam. One of my designs had the CAM hitting it and causing it to not spring back. I removed more material so it gave it space, but I'm thinking of doing a curved cut out just to ensure both cam'd sections won't contact the insert. I was looking at some photos of the inserts and I can see rubs in specific locations where I'm getting rubs. Other option is reduce that side to ensure no contact. It doesn't hurt anything since that side doesn't contact anything.. the contact points is mainly near the middle of the insert where it hits the bottle neck of the case. 4. The higher side of the tray (ejection of the links side) has a section that can contact/crush on to the insert. I might cut it down a bit and had hard foam or something to crush it in place.. or just some thin lines of PETG meant to be crushed. Personally I don't want to add foam to the area. Likely I'll add plastic.. and a note to sand it down for a fit. One thing I wanted to do but have limited skills of doing.. is adding more material to the curvature. Right now it works but I worry that on someone's MCR, it isn't aggressive enough. I just want to add a hair of material. I'm a self taught SolidWorks user. I'm fortunately my work place allows me to use their CAD system. I may have to ask one of these guys to help me out.

Here's my 15th modification. I think this might be the one. Feeds in fine, and it gives a slight popup VS without the insert. At least when held upside-down for the video. Any case I'll ask one of the people who own a insert try this. Only thing I may want to do is add a mittle more of a hump to be more aggressive in aiming the tip into the chamber without blocking the feeding of the pawl.

Thanks for moving the post. I was feeling kind of weird posting there. Any case here's a prototype print. It worked in popping that round out, but it failed to allow the pawl to pull the round to the side due to me not cutting the side down enough.. hence no room for the brass neck and bullet to slide pass between the insert and the feed tray.

Worked on it a little more... Getting close..just worried about the height.

Glad they are not too smart about this.

Yup.. imported NFA item requires demo letter. I remember that confused me a while ago. So these X95s.. Are these any different from the civilian legal X95 SBR?

Well last night I pulled out my MCR upper and took some measurements in comparison to the images I was looking at. Height of the feedramps are the only thing I'm guessing what the value should be at. There might be some trial and error to get it the right height.. Too much and it might cause jams my making it pop out more aggressively downwards. I'm debating on cutting the corners off like original insert to make it more compatible. Currently I just measured the diameter of the milling bit and used that to calculate the circumference of the edge. Also I'm thinking of improving the design to add a stop screw so it can't drift backwards into the gears.. though not sure how well it would hold up with the constant banging of pressure on it from recoil, pawl stripping, and round clicking into place. One thing I'm not sure about in the design is the curve on the side of the feedramp guide. Not sure what purpose it served.. maybe the insert's feedramp acted like a wall so he needed the other ramp to help the round slide in to place by going around the ramp? I haven't fully investigated it yet so pulling thought from the air.

I might be interested depending on condition and price.

Different places sell FCG for RRs. I just picked up a set from New Frontier Armory. Brownells should also carry it, etc.

That some major head bobbing. Definitely looks fun, and expensive. Looks well worth it! Now someone needs to get a mini gatling and use that setup.

You could have a smith drill a smaller hole into the screw that was used to stake the compensator on it, then they can remove the screw without damaging the original screw thread. Here's a reference talking about it: https://www.smallarmsreview.com/display.article.cfm?idarticles=4066 It is likely you need an custom made adapter to be made. Note I know nothing about it.. just pointing out another option.

I must have miss read the ad. I assumed these had the happy switch since it was mentioned that it can't go to civilians.. You're right, WA has no issue of getting SBRs.. just MGs even with a WA CLEO love letter.

Thanks boogie1967 and har1690 for the photos. I find it interesting that there's another section to the side of the feedramp. Wonder what that is for. Also I find interesting is boogie1967's is yellow. I've only seen photos of them being black.

If I recall, they want you to put actual times.

Wow, interested in a parts kit if you cut them. ATF won't let WA FFL have these even with WA demo letter.

Got a picture of that insert? Just wondering if mine is a 5 or 6. Well 3D printed insert I don't know how well it will handle the abuse. I guess if enough material is backing it and the right material is chosen, it might survive.

Different so your okay RL.

Sorry, I havent' been following this post. Yes the MCR and Shrike are nearly the same thing. Shrike being the older original design and the MCR is its current name, made by Fightlite. @har1690 Please do send me the dimensions, I'll take the time to model it up. Is your version of the MCR one of the earlier model of the MCR or new version? I heard the newer versions don't really need it.

At the Front sells pretty decent reproductions.

Last time Folke sold 4 coffin magazines in a leather pouch, they were $500. After many years of selling, he has finally run out of them, unfortunately. So based on that, I'd say that $200 per magazine isn't unheard of.

Contact them. They do more than they list if I remember correctly.

Love the box.. Is that original or replica? Also if you have a extra tray your selling that isn't part of your sale, I'd be interested in it.

I would say US Anodizing has always been a high recommendation. I've never used them, but people seem to like their work.

I messaged about the next batch but haven't heard back.

@Got Uzi Glad you didn't get scammed. @shiklg Wow.. didn't know you could freeze accounts... I'll have to do this!
