Looking to find where a lad can get a C79A2, Tacti-Latch Colt CH, Norgon Ambi release, Diamaco tri rail and any other C7A2 exclusive goodies.

And yes, well aware they suck donkey d*ck but I want as close to 100% CF spec C7A2 build as I can get.
 
You can get a Norgon ambidextrous magazine release from Brownells and I know that BCM makes some TRIAD I copies but I do not know where to get them. For the C79A2, maybe contact Elcan? At the very least you could get a C79 with a green rubber cover from somewhere, maybe even Elcan themselves. Unfortunately for the tactical charging-handle latches, I think (correct me if I'm wrong) they are CF exclusive so basically anything you'd get your hands on is stolen items from the CF. Besides that, you'd need an ambidextrous fire selector to complete the look, there are many available out there.
 
C79 just snagged off the EE. What timing.

Also, I swung by ATRS the other day and all their Norgon's are spoken for on Modern Hunter ambi builds so that didn't pan out.

I still have buddies in the CF so maybe there is a condemned CH that I could get the ambi latch off of and mod one myself.

I bought the Cadex tri mount knock off from OSTS but now that I have it I hate that it is not a exact copy. Hard to believe someone made a WORSE tri rail but they did.

I know a few fellows at Raytheon so maybe I can swindle a green scope cover off them.

I was just hoping there was a more easy, one stop shop approach to this.

Thanks for all the replys.
 
I got my Tri-ad from Jims Junk, its a real CF surplus one. The airsoft one I had broke as soon as I mounted a bipod to it... lol

The hardest part to find was the "D" marked Diemaco BUIS, They show up on EE, I had to get 3 different one to finally get one that was "D" marked.

The coolest thing ( for picture purposes only ) is the old school mags with the maple leaf.

Lucky for me I did a C8 clone, It was much easier.

Their was green Elcan scope cover on ### on the EE. Not sure if they are still for sale...

I really like the look of the BUIS in front of the Elcan, Its made to fit.

There have never been triad's as surplus. They are an a class item.....stolen.

Apparently, they weren't surplused. These were supposedly discards because of stripped threads, then re-threaded or something like that and put up for sale....$200 or something like that?

Anyway, the BCM one is a damn good copy, no D mark obviously, but will look the part and shouldn't crap out on you like the Airsoft one (which as DILLIGAF mentioned is pure junk).

Class A weapons parts must be destroyed before being discarded. Also they have heli coils in them so a stripped thread is a very easy fix...
 
well I emailed the seller ( Jims Junk ) he buys and sells surplus items. And I was told these were purchased as surplus.

He has bucket loads of them for sale, Not just 1 or 2

I don't see anyone being able to steal 100's of triads at once.
 
Has anyone found the OEM version of the sling mount? Perhaps Colt didn't make that one and it is simply licensed from someone else (like they did with the Norgon ambi).
