This is an explanation of the evolution of my KWA SR7 DEVGRU over the past several months. If nothing else, this thread will help me keep track of my own stuff. The paint job was done by the Bumrush Tactical medic, who also painted Swayze's gun and several others from the BRT community. At this point I would like to take note of what is pictured on the gun in the latter photographs, from stock to flash suppressor.
KWA SR7 DEVGRU - Out of the box.
With mock suppressor.
With Madbull KX3 AmplifierThe stock is the standard KWA crane stock. I have another, fancier (more expensive) stock, but I have - as of yet - not figured out how to properly attach it to the weapon, given KWA's new fuse system in the stock.
The pistol grip is the MagPul MIAD pistol grip. The back plate of the pistol grip is not the standard plate, which goes up and covers the entire back part of the pistol grip up to the sling adaptor. The standard sling adaptor is too long for the standard plate to work, so it will have to wait until I get another sling adaptor.
Just forward of the pistol grip is the MagPul MOE trigger guard. I simply find it more comfortable (not as sharp) as the standard trigger guard. Plus, it came with the MIAD pistol grip.
On the top rail, in front of the optic, is a QD mount for a Bravo 3x optic magnifier. The magnifier itself has only seen action in one event (New Dawn), and I am on the verge of selling it off if anyone is interested. The QD mount has never left the gun after being installed.
My preferred optic is the Bravo (Aimpoint) Micro T-1 on a raised mount platform. The small optic is light and serves the same purpose of other dot-style optics, while its minimalist profile allows greater field of view while aiming.
Just forward of the T-1 is the Madbull RASFIX V3 Scope Riser Mount. While it can be used as a riser mount for my other optics should I need it, my primary purpose in installing this little guy on my weapon was the necessity of fixing all barrel wobble. Granted, my weapon had little wobble at all until I removed the front sight post. I had to do a little adjusting, and with this small piece, barrel wobble is a no-go. A highly recommended piece in my book if you struggle with barrel wobble on your weapon.
Forward of the RASFIX, I have my AMP AN/PEQ-15 Illuminator. The Illuminator uses a remote pressure-switch to activate either a red laser, single-LED flashlight, or both.
On the underside of the barrel I have position two separate, yet completely different forward grips. One is the Guarder Ergonomic Vertical Tactical Foregrip. It is a stout, large grip, and many people probably wouldn't like it. It got on my nerves at first for being such a large foregrip, but has grown on me since. The pressure-switch for the AN/PEQ-15 is taped with electrical tape to this grip.
In front of the Guarder grip is the MagPul AFG2. You would probably wonder why I would have two forward grips on my weapon, and you would be completely justified in your inquisitiveness. I like the feel of the Guarder grip - I like having the grip closer to the magwell. However, after watching the MagPul Dynamics, "The Art of the Tactical Carbine," I understand the importance of the grip being more forward than rearward, and can appreciate the stability the AFG2 gives, especially in less-than-CQB settings, which is what the majority of us spend our time playing. With both grips attached to the weapon, I can easily switch my hand position and give myself greater stability when firing in all situations.
The AFG2 is actually attached to two different rail systems: the RAS of the weapon itself, and an added UTG Tri-Rail Barrel Mount. I added this mount to the end of my barrel because I do not like having much of my outer-barrel exposed. As you can see, this little thing succeeded in its mission. I plan on purchasing a swivel-mount for my sling in the future, and will attach it here so it may serve a greater purpose.
There is a small black piece that you may see if you look carefully - it is located on the top side of the outer barrel, between the weapon's RAS and the attached RAS mount. This is a G&G standard gas block. After removing the front sight post, I still had the gas tube to worry about. After searching the internet, I found that a gas block would hold the gas tube in place, whilst at the same time giving me more stability for entire RAS unit. This piece, coupled with the RASFIX has proven invaluable, and my entire RAS unit is now exponentially more stable than it was even out of the box.
The suppressors are the Madbull KX3 Amplifier and the G&P Zombie Killer.
Well, that's the gist of the evolution of my primary weapon's externals. Next I will begin the slight internal modifications to raise the FPS from ~360 to ~395 and increase the accuracy as best I can. Thanks for reading!
